read 1st post, cd bionic puppy 19.03 distro, 'no graphical interface' on the menu,
all this is on my 1st post, you have no idea what this is, do you?
no place in that first post do you specifically say this!
First post:
puppy 19-03 32bit hangs on xwin ...
console comes up ok, console commands ok
Now that you finally answered my questions.
When you boot with the Bionicpup 32 8.0 live CD.
Choose the first menu entry to boot with.
This should be the normal boot.
To make edits to the entry before you actually use it.
When you see the boot menu.
Move the highlight off of the entry that is highlighted.
That will stop auto boot.
Highlight the first menu entry.
Bottom of screen should provide edit info.
Usually press E key. (it could say to press tab key)
This should activate edit ability and display the lines of the boot menu entry.
Try adding:
Try adding the following to the end of kernel or linux line:
i915.modeset=0
Press enter to save change.
At bottom of edit screen, it will tell you what key to press, to make it boot, using this change.
Any help??
If this helps.
Because it is a CD and read only.
You will have to do this every time you boot.
Can not make change to the read only menu config file on the CD.
If you make a Live USB, files are read/write. and can be edited.
you have no idea what this is, do you ?
My main idea is Bionicpup32 8.0 does not support your hardware.
Not all Puppy versions support every possible computer and their hardware.
That is why there are several versions of Puppy.
All we can do, is give you info, on what has worked, on some computers, having problems, booting to working desktop.
Being on a CD.
There is a chance the iso burn did not go completely 100% good.
It happens.
Do not burn any faster than 8.
also, CD drives get dirty inside, old ones start failing, not reading 100% correctly.
You say other Linux OS's boot OK. If on CD, then I guess your CD drive is working OK.
