I found how to do the same thing for KLV-vmHost.
It uses a different command for the wifi called iw.

I had to install iw
1. Update
xbps-install -S iw
2. Install iw
xbps-install iw
3. Make new file:
/root/Startup/zwlandoffpower
4. For zwlandoffpower:
#!/bin/sh
sleep 3
iw dev wlo1 set power_save ...

I've always added the swapon command to /etc/rc.d/rc.local

Thanks, but since it has all the workings to normally do this I wanted to make it the same as other KLV's.

I finally found where the PATH was built so I could include /root/my-applications/bin
From KLV-Airedale, I found the PATHs where ...

JusGellin

JusGellin - if you have a savefile/folder, you can put an executable script in /root/Startup , which will run every time X starts.
I'd call it zwlanoffpower , containing something like this:

#!/bin/sh
sleep 3
iwconfig wlan0 power off

Once it is in /root/Startup , in a terminal, to make it ...

JusGellin

JusGellin

Copy the script /root/Startup/swapon from KLV-Airedale to the same location or write a script that does your swapon command in /root/Startup

The KLV-vmhost has the same as KLV-Airedale:
/root/Startup/start_swapper

in start_swapper:
#!/bin/sh
#
swapper.sh

When I run this in KLV ...

KLV

Are you sure it is not also seeing and using the swap when it boots?

That has been normal boot process operation in Linux for a very long time.

I have a 4G swap partition at sda3.
When I boot into KLV-vmHost and look for the swap I get this:
# free -h
total used free shared buff/cache ...

JusGellin

@Flash
I just saw that a reboot for BW did make it use the swap partition.

Now I just need to make it work for the KLV.

Thanks

@JusGellin

create a symlink:
Code: Select all
ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York /etc/localtime

This is the one I used. It works

Thanks

JusGellin

How can I change the time zone?
Just from a command would be fine since it is needed only for the initial installation.

Thanks

JusGellin

I've made a swap partition for BookwormPup64_10.0.9 and for KLV-vmHost.

I can enable them using swapon /dev/sdx (swap partition)
How can I make this permanent for a reboot?

Thanks

Back when I knew a lot less than I do now, it looks like I installed the thunderbird portable on my shared drive and linked to that instead.
I don't think I did it properly so that's why is doesn't work on this.

In my topic on using the old save.

Portables all working fine, so far.....haven't got 'em all linked in yet, mind you. We shall see.

But does not say what he had to do to link them in.

If the portable has in it the MenuAdd script file.

Run that and see if it now works.

I just upgraded to BW 10.0.9_nkb and copied my existing save folder from BW 10.0.6 over.
It seems to have allowed the conversion when I did this except my Thunderbird Portable doesn't run.

Clicking directly where the app (usr/share/applications) is gives this error:
"Failed to execute child ...

JusGellin

Edit: Sorry wrong forum. I actually installed BookwormPup64_10.0.9_nkb. I need to go over there instead.

@JusGellin open terminal and run 2 commands: free command and BTOP. Clues?

My personal experience might help as its simple.
I, personally, do this for every PC or VM for last 3.5 decades: create a SWAP partition that is the size of machine's RAM. Almost every forum distro will setup and use it ...

JusGellin

Evidently I needed to do more than just make a partition for it to work.

I found on the internet that I also needed to run a command called swapon UUID=xxx
That turned it on.
Now I'll see how well it works with this install.

JusGellin

Clarity
Ok, I've done that, but it doesn't seem to recognize my swap partition.

Here's what I have:
# lsblk

I want to add 4G swap file to this.
How can I do this?
I wasn't sure if I should just add swap file or should use zram.

Thanks

JusGellin

@ozsouth
That works great

Thanks for your help

JusGellin

It worked ok overnight.

I saw that I should be able to commit the change:
iwconfig wlan0 commit

But it gives error:
Error for wireless request "Commit changes" (8000) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not supported.

If I reboot, it looses the change and right away gives the unhandled ...

JusGellin

JusGellin - turning power management off is easy in a terminal. At own risk:

1. run: iwconfig (this will tell you what interface is active, i.e. wlan0)

2. (assuming wlan0) run: iwconfig wlan0 power off

See if that fixes it first.

Setting wlan0 to power off looks like it did the trick.
It's ...

JusGellin - rtw-8821ce has caused me issues in the past (hanging the pc that had that wifi adaptor), so much so that I made my 6.6 & 6.1 kernels with it disabled (have 'nr' in kernel name), & instead made an out-of-tree driver pet. 6.6.67 (usrmerge option) should work.

I would need specific ...

JusGellin

I made the file /etc/sysctl.d/local.conf with kernel.printk=1
using BookwormPup64_10.0.9.

It still shows the unhandled interrupt errors.

Thanks

On one of my laptops (HP Pavillion x360 convertible 11m-ap0xxx) it seems that no matter which distro I use
(I've tried BookwormPup64_10.0.6 through 10.0.9, BookwormPup64_10.0.9_nkbv2, KLV-vmHost-rc4, Alpine Linux )
I get annoying continuous errors in dmesg like:

Thanks for the explanation.

It's definately something I need to get into the habit of doing.
I like how it keeps up with what you do with the system and you do it right there on the system you are working on.
I've been so haphazard with having a bunch of notes spead all over and not using ...

I'm always interested in better ways to do things, especially backups.

But I'm completely lost for how you are doing this.
It may be that this is way too advanced.

How do you determine what goes into the diary.txt?

It seems that every time you add a program or change a setting you have ...

@bigpup
I found the script at /usr/pupsave-backup

I modified the line at 287 to read:
export PBKP_LOCDEFAULT="/mnt/home/Sessions"

That's exactly what I wanted, to save the backups at the same place as the Saves.

Thank you for your help.

JusGellin

Keep in mind that not all Puppy versions see and use save backups during the boot process.

So what specific Puppy version you are talking about matters.

I'm using BookwormPup64_10.0.9_nkb.

Main reason for change, is so you could just select a backup save, not need to rename it, and use it ...

JusGellin

I found that when I do a backup for BookwormPup64_10.0.9_nkb that I can manually change where it goes, in this case to the Sessions folder.
That's what I want.

But it doesn't remember that for the next time.
Is there any way to make it now select that as its default location to save the backup ...

JusGellin

I have another question concerning Pup Save Backup.
How can I direct where the backup will go?

I'm using SAVESPEC to set the save sessions as such:
SS_ID=Persistence
SS_DIR=Sessions

I would like to save the backups in the same Sessions Directory on the Persistence partition.

Right now the backup ...
