Re: Load additonal SFS on a frugal install? (without save file)
Not every dog in the kennel loads them the same way. which in particular are you using? Is there a utility in the menu for loading additional sfs 's at boot? I'm using Fossapup9.5. As mentioned, I know how to load them, with or without a savefile (I probably forgot to mention that actually, my bad ...

Re: Give some thought to picking a handle
I guess using the word "wan" could work too, which is mostly used in Japanese to say something like "bark" or "woof woof". Just an idea

Load additonal SFS on a frugal install? (without save file)
Hi, I have a couple SFSs I already downloaded before (dev, 32bit, other apps's sfs, etc) and would prefer to load them at bootup. At first, I vaguely recall doing the following on a frugal install to load additional SFS: - edit the menu.lst? (couldn't find it on any partition that is on the frugal ...

Re: Installing nvidia driver from quickpet entry without reboot
Doesn't work I'm afraid.
Still same error:
Code: Select all
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'nvidia': No such device
And yeah, I did restart Xorg, and made sure nouveau was blacklisted:
Code: Select all
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0

Re: Installing nvidia driver from quickpet entry without reboot
I don't think that "update-initramfs" is the issue here. Switching from the default "nouveau" video driver to the "nvidia" driver requires several steps. 1. Blacklist the nouveau kernel module. 2. Unload nouveau. 3. Load the nvidia kernel module. 4. Restart X to use the Xorg nvidia driver. I don't ...

Re: Installing nvidia driver from quickpet entry without reboot
Following an exchange with Barry via PM, where he states that Puppy does use an initramfs (except it's the older initrd.gz), this link makes things a wee bit clearer....I think! https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/122100/why-do-i-need-initramfs There are bits of that I can more or less ...

Re: Installing nvidia driver from quickpet entry without reboot
Second things 2nd. And if 'tother Mike's a tinkerer, I'm a young boy playing with blocks. Short version: Puppys run in RAM. Before you execute a SAVE, the files you 'install' only exist in RAM. PPM unpacked the packages and copied its folders and files to corresponding locations in RAM, You can ...

Re: Installing nvidia driver from quickpet entry without reboot
@nexussea :- Hallo....and :welcome: to the "kennels". Well, first things first. Let's put you straight on one thing from the very start; Puppy does not USE an 'initramfs'. This is specific to 'full' installs of "mainstream" distributions, which always require an entire partition to themselves ...

Installing nvidia driver from quickpet entry without reboot
Hi, I'm installing the current latest (on quickpet entry in Fossapup9.5) nvidia driver, which is version number 450. I know how to make it work (it's on a normal desktop computer, with the screen attached on the nvidia card's hdmi port, so no need to set up optimus :) ) and usually would just reboot ...

Potential Memory leak on Xorg on Fossapup9.5
Hi, So it seems like there may be a memory leak on Xorg from Fossapup9.5. How do i know that? Well, I used Fossapup9.5 for about, 2 months or so, and while using it, did different testing (prolonged testing over multiple weeks). One of those entail leaving a computer where it's loaded on (using a ...

Install on HDD drive BUT load it to ram at bootup
Hi, So I already played around with puppy distros, and I think I already know most way around it, except for that one thing I always wanted to figure out (which may or may not look obvious to others beside me): How can I install it on a drive (eg: HDD) but, while still loading it from ram using the ...
