hi s243a and wiak i feel wiaks system is definitely the way to go to make a minimal modular puppy i of course have been following weedog since wiak started posting but it is very sophisticated and hard for me to get a clear picture of it in my mind could someone make an example core iso with the sy...

s243a

thanks again s243a in my opinion the most important thing is to pick something that is as easy as possible to work with what puppy would fit this criterion ? maybe something that is fully developed and has someone who supports it and has knowledge of it i use upupbb32 but you may have one you think...

s243a

hi s243a thank you very much for your reply i have very limited knowledge (essentially no working knowledge) of woof-ce but i understand (i think) as you mention that it is built using lists of the included parts however it would take a guru to know the minimal components necessary to build the cor...

I noticed that on attackpup that sourcing /etc/profile doesn't add "/usr/local/bin/" to the PATH variable. I'm not sure how this folder gets added to the path in puppy 4 but it is something to watch out for for anyone running puppy 4 in a chroot. Another thing that I noticed is that updati...

s243a

Regarding support, some developers ask if the issue is a woof-CE issue and if so seem to imply that the issue should be handled in github. Granted not all issues are woof-CE issues such as how to do something on a particular version of puppy or how to get a particular application to work.

s243a

I think the easiest way to do this would be to split the puppy into components based on info in: /var/packages/DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS /var/packages/woof-installed/packages /var/packages/builtin_files/* Prior to doing this one would also want to define pseudopackages for the various compenets of the orgin...

I"d support said move but I don't know if said move would need to be blessed by someone.

Considering the Puppy-type utility apps, a lot is going to change (but, thank goodness, WeeDogLinux uses a simple plugin build system): I have grave doubts about gtkdialog, but what would I know...?... GTK3 can work, so maybe ok???... But if everything needs somewhat re-written, I question using gt...

Here is an updated sfs, see orginal post for instructions on how to use it: AttackPup2Headed_0.0002.sfs It was tested prior to creating the sfs and not after. As noted above "apt update" and "apt-cache search" now works. Much to do and test. This is very very very preliminary! Ed...

Some more progress. I added the gpg to apt key as follows: wget -q -O - https://archive.kali.org/archive-key.asc | apt-key add **Not sure if this was necessary It turns out that I do need, gpgv_2.2.20-1_i386.deb for gpg features of apt to work. This is avilable at: https://http.kali.org/kali/pool/ma...

If I/O is slow, then I'd avoid using a swap and turn off automatic save.

s243a

josejp2424's Dpup Buster CE is certainly as good as any official puppy. I'll let the main puppy developers explain how a puppy becomes official because I don't completely know the process and all the requirements.

s243a

Just some more limited testing. Part 1 - Fixing Urxvt after the fact Urxvt was working but lxterminal wasn't. For lxterminal to work, I needed to install libncurses5 and libtinfo5. The actuall packages I installed were: libtinfo5_6.2+20201114-2_i386.deb libncurses5_6.2+20201114-2_i386.deb libtinfo6_...

The same happened to me after remastering. In fossapup64, /root/.packages contains a folder called builtin_files-sml. Before remastering, there was a folder called builtin_files, it disappeared when I remastered (must be a new thing the remastering script is not ready for). This builtin_files folde...

s243a

Some futher note: 1. I had to get the original AttackPup from the internet archive. The person who uploaded it to the internet archive has the same username on the internet archive as did the auther of attack pup on the old puppy forum. 2. Attack pup is based on Lighthouse the lighthouse website no ...

s243a

This is in a way, "crazy preliminary" AttackPup2Headed_0.0001.sfs but I'm kind of amazed to see what worked so far. My question was, "Can you upgrade a derivative of Puppy 4 with much newer libs and would the older GUI components still work with the newer libs?". To my surprise i...

s243a

On another note, my list of packages to remove , in order to gut the core/cli components of puppy is larger than the number of packages contained in "puppy 4" and derivatives. It might be instructive to see which of these packages are actually in puppy4. In attack pup here is the list or c...

s243a

Not mentioned in my previous post was how I built the missing file lists for each built-in package. What I did was for each file in my remove list , I extracted the related package at: https://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet_packages-4/ and used a command of the form find . -name '*' | sed -r 's#^...

I decide to start a new thread for this specific how-to because it might distract from the discussion around the motivation of why one might want to do this. For a discussion of the motivation see: " Updating Puppy 4, for learning and nostalgia " It appears that for puppy 4, the list of fi...

My apologies, Mike, but I can't find watchdog's simple script for running a puppy within another puppy. Could you please provide a link, or the script itself?
Thanks,
BS

The script can be found in Mike's chrooted iron browser:

replacing the older kernel of an old puppy with newer one can add functionality. For instance - swopping the original kernel of Racy with that of Tahr will give you the functionalty of additional drives like the adrv and ydrv. Taking the newest version of Puppy and changing it to using a series 3 o...

s243a

Might it have something to do with the "xhost +" command that you do in your chroot scripts. For security reasons I would prefer not to use this command but it might help something work in the appimmage.

s243a

Motivation As, mentioned in another thread , I'm interested in updating older versions of puppy for the purposes of learning about the history of puppy (how they were done before) and also nostalgia. Also in some cases this may produce smaller systems than more modern systems. This actually goes ba...

s243a

I don't think that the "Legacy Puppy Section" should only apply to official puppies because it is usually the case that Legacy versions of puppy (e.g. Precise) have been maintained by others. For instance jrb produced (Precise Light), rerwin produced ( Lucid Revitalized ), ttuuxxx produced...

s243a

@s243a thanks for weighing in on this. The 95fix.sh along with the standard remaster filled my needs. I've created many "fix" scripts over the years for other puppies. Typically when I get ready to use a new puppy version I do all the customization, add pets, etc, then remaster. I don't a...

s243a

I wonder if the issues could have anything to do with how Fossapup64 9.5 is separated into more sfs files than normal. That could be part of the issue. However, this could be solved by creating an iso with the sfs merged. Another issue with the puppy remaster script is that for certain directories ...

Not sure why you were banned. Have you considered the puppy discord channel?

I've updated the above script to sync the status file: https://pastebin.com/teuMVHEn I've also added a script to sync the list of files contained in a package: https://pastebin.com/GN4dxwie In the first script I now have the AWK code in an external file rather as a string (. However, I should use th...

Speaking of bugs in the search feature, it ignores the word apt, saying it is to common. Fortunately if I'm searching for apt I can search for dpkg instead. That said, I don't think that forum members here are that apt to say the word apt, unless they are searching for the apt package.

s243a

Rebooted from terminal with busybox reboot And the reboot resulted in a kernel panic! Working on finding out the why this is happening. Disappointing but I went ahead and moved the save folder and the system booted right up and APT is working. This time I will note the steps to install more detaile...
