Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I still don't have much time for experimenting/dev work. But I am 'kind of' getting back into it. In particular, I'm ignoring my todo list, because I want to remind myself how my KL_full2fr mechanism works. Whilst I don't take any drugs, apart from my single dose of morning expresso coffee, it somet...

Just booted pristine KLU-jamXFCEbase 1.1 My above post seems to be accurate. Pristine has user:pw combinations root:root, firstrib:firstrib, and spot:spot. firstrib has userid of 1000, and spot is 1001 on KLU-jam distro (which is different to a Puppy distro userid for spot). On pristine boot, KLU-ja...

Any idea how to set or change the root password? I only currently have KLU-jam 1.1 on a Ventoy usb stick and can't boot that right now on this particular machine in UEFI mode for some reason or another. I'll try it later when other machine isn't being used by my son. The original passwords set were...

Install MX Linux on the HDD first. Then manually make a directory in the base filesystem of the MX Linux installation named what ever you like that will contain the base file system of the Puppy Linux you want to use. For example /mnt/sda1 has MX Linux installed, then create the directory /F96-CE_4...

Re-uploaded wd_initconfig_make to first post of thread because I had a stupid wee mistake in it. I had fixed it at home, but forgot to upload fixed version (previous version probably worked though, but gave an error message).

Thanks @fredx181 and @rockedge. I actually noticed the recent new save2flash xbps up on rockedge repo before I then visited the forum to read the related posts!

REPOSTING this old early FirstRib-related info of early 2019 from the old forum since I find it useful background info more readily at hand. The whole of the original old forum thread remains also relevant. Find whole thread at: https://oldforum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=1025462#p1025462 Note ...

NOTE TO ALL KL ISO PRODUCERS: An IMPORTANT modification is required to the simple script save2flash I have been testing new w_initconfig mechanism in that latest FR initrd recently released and all seems fine with it. However, save2flash script included a check (I believe I unnecessarily put it in o...

Which all makes it sound like the writing is on the wall. Reality check? From the above, if no developers really tackling what sounds like the far too onerous job of fixing woof-CE, nearest to an alive and being maintained Puppy build system would seem to be that of dimkr Vanilla Dpup fork? Time to ...

Update: about my previous posts not being able to boot KLV ISO from Ventoy ! Tested now with installing Ventoy to another USB stick and... no problem booting KLV ISO :D . (should have tried that earlier, to be sure what was causing it :oops: , sorry for the trouble !) So the problem was with my &qu...

... Well, somehow, after doing same sort of settings various times and save and exit, suddenlty the usb drive appeared via F9 on boot... Weird. ... I have an older PC, circa 2012 IIRC, that this happens frequently upon a reboot. To get around this PC's BIOS bug , I know to shut it down. Unplug and ...

@fredx181 and other members who rather use a system drive for Ventoy/SG2D booting of forum distros without a need to use a USB. For some reason, it appears that a prior post for you has been lost on the forum. Hopefully, this post wont get lost. Probably not the 'lost' post you are referring to abo...

@wiak, Thanks. This is consistent in my use with students in the past. One thing I have them do that you might consider as you have loads of space free on the system drive. Make a small Persistence partition at the end of the primary system drive should you, may in the future, consider saving sessi...

fredx181 Using Ventoy usb stick on newish Levova ThinkBook 14s Yoga Gen 2 This laptop has nvme hard drives (two actually) per gparted screenshot Thus the Ventoy usb appears on sda per gparted screenshot Booted KLV-Airedale-sr12 without issue During boot FR initrd/init says: ... Please wait:...searc...

Oh, and if any component, and especially any major component of the system, is or becomes too hard or too messy or too boring, no-one will want to do it anyway. Even if individuals are or feel capable of taking on the burdensome 'thing' the chances of them doing so are pretty low. Maybe an occasiona...

Do-ocracy principle is very old in many open-source projects. Not specific to Puppy Forum type developments at all really. Sounds an attractive idea, but also has many dangers: https://communitywiki.org/wiki/DoOcracy Perhaps main dangers are: Complacency and If no-one does anything, nothing gets done.

How to make initrd-nano in puppy linux? Most Puppy Linux initrd.gz are around 2312 K compressed and decompressed is 4192 K. Of course it isn't the size of the initrd really; well, the huge-style initrd that embeds the underlying main rootfilesystem, will be slow to load of course. (FR/KL can make/u...

After mount, I used Thunar to dismount the Ventoy partition. Ventoy's complete USB disappeared from the system. Not present in thunar, desktop or Gparted. Further, cannot find a system utility to retrieve the 'loss'. Its gone! There are a few matters related to what Thunar shows or how it shows the...

I am getting the EXACT same results of booting to desktop that we saw when testing under a VM. "Each boot, no matter if launched from Ventoy or from SG2D on bare-metal yields the same result. I think main test Fred is looking for is by someone who has a machine that has an nvme harddrive such ...

I have a different little problem. Nothing to do with Ventoy but related to the new w_initconfig mechanism for redirecting location of upper_changes savefolder. Nothing wrong with the FR initrd code mechanism, but save2flash wasn't designed to work with this new facility. So for now, don't use the w...

Apparently it (Ventoy mechanism or w_init, don't know) attempted to unmount sda1 (don't know what's it good for btw). Yes, that message is irrelevant as far as I remember. I should take out some such messages that don't actually mean anything, but never got round to it yet... However, I'll keep tha...

What I see quickly passing by (before the kernel panic message) is that it seems to search only in my nvme HDD partitions, not in sda (which is my Ventoy USB). Well there is that limitation in the simple FR initrd search for iso code that I specified on release; once partition with path to named is...

partitions=`cat /tmp/blkid_devs 2>/dev/null | cut -d: -f1 | cut -d/ -f3` # parse stored blkid info for partition name only for p in $partitions; do # inner loop if ! mountpoint -q /mnt/"$p"; then case `blkid -o value -s TYPE /dev/$p` in vfat) mount_options="-o noatime,nodiratime,suid...

I wonder if it is that dev_nosrch /dev/loop ??? Which is my suspicion... But if so, why sdb okay, but not sda, on machines that use sda for internal hard drive I wonder... Could of course be 'forced' to search sda, but best to have a logical reason before implementing that. A debug statement here sh...

What I see quickly passing by (before the kernel panic message) is that it seems to search only in my nvme HDD partitions, not in sda (which is my Ventoy USB). Unfortunately my laptop that has nvme disk is out of action at the moment, but I guess that wouldn't help track down your issue since its t...

Should work now with Ventoy installations! Please report experiences booting ISO with Ventoy...... :thumbup2: Yes, all good, klv-airedale latest is booting fine from Ventoy exfat partition using latest FR initrd and Void kernel and initrd with embedded modules. Out for coffee now so didnt have time...

Yes, boots very fast for me from frugal install using initrd-nano too. Considering it includes LibreOffice components it is remarkably small and powerful. Size may not always be important, but sometimes very handy to have a small distro with many useful utilities: FatDog seems to fit that portable n...

I did a git pull on the build script repo so I assumed I was using the latest scripts to build the Void Linux kernel for KLV that are getting the download of initrd.gz_latest and automatically deleting the downloaded version after usage by the script. That's a bit odd though since the gitlab site d...

Should work now with Ventoy installations! Please report experiences booting ISO with Ventoy...... :thumbup2: Good you got that fixed. It is possible the FR initrd would need more than exfat module to get exfat working with Ventoy though; I don't remember trying an iso using real Void kernel with V...

Tried booting KLV-HyprlandCE-5.0.iso from Ventoy, sorry to say @Sofiya still got kernel panic, did you test from Ventoy ? Btw, extracted the initrd.gz and noticed in init that exfat is in the module list, so that seems ok (exfat is indeed not in the init of KLV-Airedale as wiak suspected), but prob...
