That should be installing the Puppy security key on the computer, with the others that are already there for Windows. If you did this at another time in the past. It is already there and no need to install it. Well that eliminates one possible issue. You sure? This laptop has been formatted at ...

Is this a computer with UEFI bios? If yes. If secure boot is enabled in the bios setup. Did this happen when you first tried to boot with Lick? UEFI Systems with Secure Boot LICK supports secure boot, but requires a manual step during the first reboot. On the first reboot, if you see a blue screen ...

If you can, post the contents of your grub.cfg if using grub2 or if using grub4dos the contents of menu.lst. I've noticed that my frugal install of S15Pup32 requires the "pdrv" parameter on the kernel line in order to boot. Older Pups didn''t need this, a simple "find root" was enough. Wiz I am ...

I suggest you try using BookwormPup64 10.0.6 https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=8690 S15Pup64 seems to have some booting issues with some computers. No one Puppy version will work on all possible computers! That is why there are several to try. There is one thing that could be causing ...

If your computer is UEFI bios. during boot, press the F12 or Delete key to open up the UEFI control center. There you should find a specific setting where the boot hierarchy is laid out. You should find GRUB or Lick boot manager on top, followed by Windows Boot Manager. Have it selected to use the ...

I installed the boot loader, then puppy in the same session.. Lick should have installed S15Pup64 first and then installed the boot loader. Could just try doing the install again with Lick making sure to be using the latest version v1.3.4 I think a restart would help. But I cant get back into ...

Hello! Back on this site again after a few years. Promise not to be as much of a mess as 12 y/o me was on this site last time haha.. As of recent ive decided to try and get linux on my laptop again now that ive had plenty more practice with software. I decided rather than fossapup i went with ...

ive only gotten internet to work by an ethernet cable. anyone know a way?

Nice to see your persistence pay off. You could explain what you did to get it working, so the next guy that is researching similar problems can see your fix. As for Wifi, the best is to open a new topic in the beginner section and explain which wifi tool you are having problems with and what you ...

Its not a matter of entering things manually to make it work, if those lines in the configuration didn't work so. After you have confirmed burning the ISO to usb didn't fix it (you can use Rufus to do this on Windows), try removing 'dofsck' when you edit the menu entry in GRUB(2). Then boot via F10 ...

i went through stuff i could do with grub and foind i cant boot a command line so maybe it is grub?

fixedfury505

Secure boot only checks the boot loader, and if the boot loader was configured or programmed it will then check the files to be booted. Regarding the suggestion of burning fossapup to a USB then trying to boot off the USB, any luck? sprry i havent gotten to try that i havent been able to find any ...

i went to install another iso and check if its the downloader, i got the same error in the not intalled vmlinuz file. so i think there is something wrong with the downloader itself Best if you download the Fossapup64 9.5 ISO by doing it in a Internet browser. http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux ...

Just to eliminate one possible cause of not booting with the Lick install. Find the folder fossapup64-9.5 on C drive. See if it has these files in it: initrd.gz vmlinuz puppy_fossapup64_9.5.sfs adrv_fossapup64_9.5.sfs fdrv_fossapup64_9.5.sfs zdrv_fossapup64_9.5.sfs. yes, it has all 4 files Should ...

I don't know grub very well really, but can't see anything particularly wrong there so maybe the OS didn't install to disk? The following seems to be an on-one-page copy of the manual for the version of grub you are using: https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/info/grub 16.3.64 search ...

What I need now since we verified the computer is not toast is you to press 'e' when you have highlighted Fossapup's entry in the GRUB menu, and then send a photo of its contents!

After you did the Lick install of Fossapup64 9.5 and rebooted. When you selected to boot Fossapup64. Did you ever see this and do it? On the first reboot, if you see a blue screen with writing, press enter to select OK. Press enter again to select Enroll Hash. Use the up and down arrow keys to ...

Why haven't you posted the needed result of highlighting Windows boot choice in grub menu and pressing key 'e' as Phoenix first suggeted? Or have I missed you posting the answer?

i did but idk what to do after that

If Windows 10 is on this computer. Do not shutdown in hibernate mode. Do a complete normal shutdown and power off. Hibernate does not fully release control of the internal drive so other operating systems can use it. No one Puppy Linux version is designed to work on every possible computer. Maybe ...

Are you still able to boot to Windows? As well, can you type in this 'black screen'? Please answer the questions, in a orderly fashion. (Including the ones I've already posted. Those files are located on your C: drive by default unless changed, perhaps under a folder named fossapup or simply laying ...

Where is menu.lst, grub.cfg, etc? What's in it? As well where is the puppy located at? Also what puppy? well, i dint exactly know, im just really in a panic. and fossapup Main thing at this stage is to avoid that 'panic' (though it is understandable) and don't hack away at your system trying to fix ...
