This may have been covered before but I could not see it. What I have done so far. 1) Downloaded vanilladpup-11.0.199-labwc-uefi.img.gz to this computer which is running Fatdog64-903 and has its hardware clock set to UTC. 2) Extracted vanilladpup-11.0.199-labwc-uefi.img and dd it to an 8 GB USB ...

Carefully following James' advice has solved the problem. I still do not know what caused the problem in the first place nor why I was unsuccessful in my first attempt to re create my fdsave-ken but the e2fsck may have fixed something. Anyway thanks to James for the solution and thanks to williwaw ...

Help! I've locked myself out of my account. (Posting here from my wife's account on the same computer) This computer is a Dell Precision 3420 with 16 GB RAM and 480 GiB nvme storage. The OS is Fatdog64 902 installed on the nvme using the method described in the Fatdog Help Frequently Asked Questions ...

Some followers of this thread may be interested in another document formatting program similar to LaTeX which is much smaller.

Thank you both. (Clarity and Step) We have outflanked the problem for now but I will not be able to get back to it four about a month. I will post again with what I finally did then.
In the meantime I will mark the thread "Solved"

Has anyone running Fatdog64-814 or Fatdog64-900 any experience using imobiledevice6 to extract images from an iphone?

In one of tosim's posts in this thread about 15 + hours back he reported on the failure of

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb1 but he should have used "of=/dev/sdb"

Many thanks rcrsn51. It looks like I have a bit of reading to do but could achieve my objective using grub2. I had hoped that someone might have known how to enroll a MOK in Limine
I will post again when I have something to report but I am going away for a couple of weeks so it might be a while.

I have a USB stick with EasyOS 4.5.5 installed on it by "dding" the easy-4.5.5-amd64.img to it and it works well.
Is there an easy way to add some certificate and script etc. so that it could be used to boot a computer with secure boot turned on?

superchook

I recently installed easy 4.5.5 to an 8 GB USB 3 stick and everything seems to be working well. Unfortunately the first time I booted from it when it asked for a password my finger bounced and I added an extra character in the middle. I did not notice this until I had hit enter and continued with ...

I have a USB stick which was created using the easy-4.5.2-amd64.img. Which version of the Limine installer would it have provided? I have an earlier USB installation which was I _think_ made using an easy-4.4.3-amd64.img. Is there a file in the system which holds the easy version? Is there a file ...

Puppy specific boot codes are documented in https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=5484 but that document does not cover if the only allowable separation between parameters is a single space or if line feeds can be used to break up long lines. Another question is, does the order of the ...

Thanks, Don, That fixed my problem.
I now have google-chrome back even though it is asking me to update I will wait a while

I have been using google-chrome as my default browser for quite some time. From time to time I run the "Get Google Chrome" installer from the control panel. This gets (and installs) the latest official stable version of the browser and leaves a package used for the installation in root. I leave this ...

Is there an (easy) way of creating multiple instances of Geany in Fatdog64 as is standard in fossapup64 and some slackos?

Thank you williwaw! That fixed it. (I thought I had previously tried that combination but must have made some typos

I recently made a USB stick with several operating systems on it starting from an installation of easyOS 4.3. The stick is a Lexar 32G usb 3 containing four partitions. The first 7 MiB partition has the boot and esp flags set and contains among other files and directories the limine.cfg file. The ...

Oops I forgot the limine.cfg which was the whole point of the post
I have had to rename the file to limine.txt to get it accepted.
You will have to change the uuid according to what you find for your stick.

Hi baldronicus, I have managed to get Fatdog64-812 booted from a usb stick using the limine bootloader that comes with easyOS 4.3. The method was as follows. 1) Download the image file easy-4.3-amd64.img and "dd" it to a 32G Lexar usb 3 stick. This produces a bootable stick with two partitions, the ...

In response to dr_Dan and baldronicus, the "savefile" is indeed a save folder and the savefile= that I used was modelled on the line which works from the SSD on this computer. There three partitions on the SSD the first boots into Linux Mint which provides the grub2 bootloader. A 40_custom file in ...

I have "outflanked" my original problem i.e. savefile=ram:uuid:0284e81b-569f-40a6-89c6-de69334c4d9d:/Fatdog64-812/fd64save-someone_local not finding my savefile by moving it out of the Fatdog64-812 directory. In that case the savefile command or option is not needed but this is a messy solution as I ...

superchook

Many thanks for your postings. I may have to change bootloaders but that would mean starting from scratch. My current USB stick boots four different puppies with no problems. It is only the Fatdog specific savefile= that is giving me grief. Unless the "search" line is interfering. I try a bit longer ...

superchook

Further to my original questions, how does grub2 find the grub.cfg file in the second partition of the USB stick. The label is, by default "OS" and the uuid is often "0284e81b-569f-40a6-89c6-de69334c4d9d". This depends on whether the second partition was merely re-sized or deleted and re-created ...

I am in the process of making a multi-use, multi-OS, bootable USB stick. I intend that the final product will be able to boot Fatdog64-812 and several of the Puppies (e.g. friendly-fossa64, AtomicPupXXII, dpup-stretch-7.5, s57-2018, and even some older pups). As this USB stick may be used on any ...

On this computer running Fatdog64-812 the Logitech USB Headset H340 _mostly_ works but sometimes quits unexpectedly. On checking, using "Fatdog Set Default Sound Card", I find that the Logitech card has disappeared from the list of sound cards available (although it had been there when I previously ...

What is the correct pmedia option when the "Hard Drive" is an nvme SSD. For a traditional spinning disk HD it would be pmedia=atahd. Is there a new entry for nvme SSDs /
TIA
Ken

superchook

Just to clarify did you really type

mkdir -p /mnt/sdg1/unsquasged/puppy

as in the original post?

superchook

Many thanks, chiron, your post contained the solution. (in my case the savefile parameter uses uuid rather than device as my "Hard Drive" is an nvme SSD)
cheers,
Ken
