VM tests, thus far: ISO file boots to desktop while USB booting does not.
Easy to replicate: Here's the VM stanza.
Code: Select all
qemu-system-x86_64 -name "QP64 vRC8 ISO from USB" -enable-kvm -vga cirrus -m 2G -smp 2 -device AC97 -net nic -net user -rtc base=localtime /dev/sdcYou are using a video card of the '90s. Have you already tried with another video driver? I mainly use virtio on my VMs.
Code: Select all

Whoa! This QP64 vRC8 just booted via SG2D not touching anything at QP's boot menu (allowed it to default on its own).
I am at desktop with this QEMU stanza (Notice the video difference):

Changes:
* Linux kernel 6.9.5
* Fix VPN connections

Hi @one
In review of this post from you, I should have offered this.
There is nothing wrong with what you have, BUT, for me, as you may have notice in some/many of my past posting, I suggest to never place any forum's persistence on a USB. Too many issues to cover in a post, here and I do not want to derail the good work @mistfire offers us.
Just a note (in my case). Create a partition on a system drive if space is available and keep ALL of your forum's persistence for all the distros you boot in that system drive partition. To me, our sessions is the MOST important file-folder outside of the ISO files. And we benefit from the integrity and consistency of your system drive.
Just a note.
Booting Results Testings
Bare Metal (Using a Lenovo Mini M90n:)
Ventoy without boot parms additions - boots to desktop. As expected for current WoofCE PUPs, does not use the SAVESPEC file for directing persistence at shutdown..
Ventoy with PSAVE parm - boots to desktop. UNexpected does not use the PSAVE info for directing persistence at shutdown.
SG2D - booting errors out and drops to GRUB prompt no matter which menu stanza selected. The 'debug' file is attached, below.
Booting Results Testings
QEMU VMs
ISO file - boots to desktop. All expected behavior works including providing persistence at shutdown as prescribed in SAVESPEC file.
Ventoy USB launch of ISO file - does not get to desktop. Stops at QP64's console. "xorgwizard" is no help to get to the desktop. Multiple vga parms were tested.
SG2D USB launch of ISO file - boots to desktop. All expected behavior works including providing persistence at shutdown as prescribed in SAVESPEC file.

Is something wrong with mirrors? How can I fix this?
Check your internet connection first. I tested Quickpup64 on a VM with active connection, the PPM works fine
Network connection is OK. Packages updater works, but packages manager unfortunetaly do not like at screenshot.
Any idea how can i fix this?
What repo did you select on PPM?
UPDATE: It turns out that slackel repo does not update the package database against upstream slackware-current. To fix this problem just edit /var/packages/DISTRO_COMPAT_REPOS file to prioritize the upstream slackware repo
Sorry for being a noob but could you be more specific which line should I move to the top of the list?
If you are noob, the easiest way to was look that package in pkgs.org select the package under Slackware category. Copy the download URL. Paste on the browser the press enter key
Update: Slackel repo database was finally updated. Just update the package database and it will just works
Using quickpup with chrome portable for a while now. It's great! Just wanted to say thanks.

what do you mean KP? What kind of Puppy that you are using?
I compile it organically.
I'll take a look at the repo for comparison.
Salamat again, po.
Just read this one on how to compile the pipewire. it must satisfy the source dependencies before you start compiling
No, I managed to compile pipewire & stuff
without issues BEFORE upgrading to GLibc 2.40.
I guess I'll stick to whatever GLibc that came
with vanilla BP64.
Salamat, po.
