Just compiled kernel 6.12.1 - iwlwifi lack of fallback persists. This means (without a solution), anyone who uses a kernel after 6.10.14 with newer iwlwifi will need to have the exact firmware version required, to connect wifi. Major pain. I will try some other wifi devices & see how I go ...

My install of version 2409 (remastered as low by ozsouth) updated to version 241124 (iso from github). Frugal install to SSD on the 2nd gen i5 Fujitsu S761. No savefile in this install. My LXDE + adrive updated to reflect the name change from 24.09 to 24.11. Running overlayfs in this pup right now ...

Luluc - If you are going to run synaptic or apt (I use it in Noblepup64 and VoidPup64) there are a couple of things to keep in mind.

To enable the use of the repos, you must run apt update or use the reload button in synaptic prior to doing a search or install.

Doing so creates some rather large ...

Marv

Got it, thanks :!: I did do a fresh install/customize (both LXDE and LXQT) with 7T and it handled my video much more cleanly than my old 6T with savefile. I'll get 8T going shortly. I still prefer LXDE to LXQT, particularly for its' panel setup and stability but I'll give it -and me- a bit more time ...

Marv

I can download and test in 7T if that is a better route overall?

Marv

So far, I can't get the LXQT desktop to launch. Using LXQt-2.1-bdrv_LxPupSc64_23.01.sfs (renamed bdrv_xxxx as usual) in a pristine install of LxPupSc64-23.01+6-T. Re-downloaded both just to check, same results. It's the same LxPupSc64 I've been running on this hardware (Fujitsu S761) for quite a ...

The three browsers I run as portables in all my pups are all chromium derivatives. Brave, Slimjet, and ungoogled-chromium. The current Brave and ungoogled continue to run correctly in fossapup64-small version 5. Slimjet started requiring a newer glibc after version 42.0.3.0 so I keep a copy of that ...

spectre-meltdown-checker.sh run in this kernel on my current VoidPup64 install on my 2nd gen i5 (sandylake) hardware. Early loading 241029 microcode. binutils installed and kernel image put in /boot for completeness. All green here.

Thanks,

Marv

Another question: in the Noblepup64-low thread @Marv said glibc updates have been done. Like him I love Fossa64-small and would like to keep it working with raw photo editors. But new versions of Rawspeed (the library providing the decoders for camera raw files) need glibc 2.35.
Any chance for ...

Morning and thanks, Grand rounds done here. Run in the following pups, both using the overlayfs and aufs, clean boots, dmesg, idle resource use, and glxgears FPS checked in each:

fossapup64-small version 5. Defaults to aufs with no kernel parameter as it should, punionfs=overlay gives overlay fs ...

finit12 ,

I just swapped the 6.11.5 kernel into my frugal install (to SSD) of fossapup64-small version 5 (a pruned and polished 9.5 by ozsouth). I hid my ydrive so it was a pristine boot test. Just unpacked the kernel tar.gz and renamed the two files to vmlinuz and zdrv_fossapup64_9.5.sfs and put ...

Marv

Usrmerge structure adjusted and run sucessfully using overlayfs in my frugal LXDE'd NoblePup64-low install on the Fujitsu S761 laptop (2nd gen i5, i915 driven graphics, Atheros wifi card). Clean boot and dmesg, good idle resource use, normal lidsuspend. modesetting driver chosen by default at boot ...

Marv

Updated my frugal install to SSD on the all intel Fujitsu S761 (2nd gen i5, Sandylake) from the 241009 version to the 241101 version.
Using my @peebee derived LXDE ydrive plus customizations so no JWM checks unless requested. Adrive not used as usual. Running AUFS at the moment.
Booted both with ...

Marv

In the same vein, I'd wager many of us have a largish partition on the primary SSD (or second SSD) that has data, portables, shared profiles, etc. and is automatically mounted at boot. I still have a few spinners around but none in daily use. On SSDs I generally don't run journalling in EXT4 and ...

Marv

Fsck can not work on any possible formats.

It is for ext 2, 3, or 4 formats (file systems).

Do not confuse this with what the Puppy boot commands pfix=fsck do.
pfix= commands are specific code for the Puppy boot process to perform.
The line in question called fsck.fat which indeed does check ...

Marv

Thanks, I'm running with it (and the exfat line) uncommented in my most rebooted pup and may carry that change in my ydrive/adrives. I've logged some diagnostics from the change and so far I see no problems with it in my installs of NoblePup64, LxPupSc64, or fossapup64-small. My data drives, mostly ...

Marv

I dimkr I think this is an appropriate place to ask this. In the init script (using Noblepup64 as an example, fsckp is limited to EXT file partitions, ie line 128 is #vfat) fsck_app='fsck.fat -y' ;; . Is there a compelling reason for this? In most of my personal pups, I don't use a save file or ...

amethyst - I have run S15 in the past, but since all my pups -and users- are running LXDE, I defaulted to LxPupSc64 to fill that niche. Its' main SFS weighs in at 255Mb and has the LXDE integrated, a bit (8Mb) heavier than the S15 with LXDE added but less work for me. Quite long term, emarkably few ...

Marv

A few more days running 'low'. All good still. I did pull Abiword from the main SFS and resquash, now @ 291Mb. MPV and DeadBeef both working OOTB, pmusic radio working, pmusic_CD doesn't read my CDs, even switching the target to /dev/sr0. No matter, DeadBeef is the default CD player.

Basically ...

Up and running on the 2nd gen i5 Fujitsu S761 laptop. Frugal install to SSD with a smallish FAT32 boot directoryI and an ample EXT2 data directory. I know, I know, but it just works -always-. I am running in LXDE using the same adrive I used for the 240907 version from github.

Clean boot and ...

Marv

My 'small' install updated from v4dao (testing) to v5 on Oct 1. No issues noted on this 2nd gen i5 all intel laptop (Fujitsu S761) in a couple of days use. Running with the stock kernel, overlay filesystem, no savefile, and with a ydrive containing LXDE and my customizations and links to portable ...

Marv

Updated the 240907 version on the S761 2nd gen i5 laptop to the 240919 version. Seems fine on first boot, dmesg clean, idle resource use good, all portables working etc. BUT it now has the same failure on suspend/resume that BW64 does on this hardware and has had since 10.0.4.

Unless I remove ...

logout dialog offers "Shut down" and "Reboot" and who-knows-what

I use restart window manager a lot while working on JWM configuration. No idea why there is a red question mark....

I also use restart WM a lot also when honing the desktop, both in JWM and LXDE and in all my pups, never had it ...

I have satisfactory (for me) network tray icons. Neither the stock Adwaita ones (the Puppy themes default to those as well) nor those in /usr/share/connman_ui_gtk/icons work well with my panel background.

I edited the icons in /usr/share/connman_ui_gtk/icons using libreoffice draw and put them in ...

Marv

Updated my 240902 install on the Fujitsu S761, frugal Grub4Dos to SSD to the 240907 build. No issues noted. Dmesg clean, lidsuspend works :D ,DVD plays correctly from event handler, all portables continue to function well, printing to Brother 2170 laserprinter fine, haven't checked much else yet but ...

Marv

Testing the 240907 build in my Fujitsu S761 laptop as an update to my 240803 and 240825 installs. Everything seems ok, clean dmesg, normal operation of all portables, sound, wifi connection, CDs and DVDs, etc. BUT as in the 240825 version, lidsuspend fails -see 2 posts up-. Again, OK in 240803 ...

Marv

peebee ,

Interesting new development for me in VoidPup64 version 240825. For the first time, VoidPup64, like BW64 since version 10.0.3 will not resume after a lidsuspend with the correct touchpad button mappings. (Fujitsu S761 2nd gen all Intel laptops, I have 6) I have a well tested workaround in ...

Marv

It's there, thanks, but I'm getting network errors on my end & it won't resume. I'll do a reconnect and try again later or in the morning.

Got it. MPV play checked in a pristine boot. Normal quicksetup only done. DVDs play correctly using MPV now. Video and audio fine, fullscreen mode and switch ...

Marv

Signed in to GitHub but the test build link still gives me a 404. Still building?
