Yes, I'm also wanting to move default to pipewire from pulseaudio. However, it remains a bit of a moving target in terms of configuration and ease. Newer pipewire packages are gradually making configuration easier, but sometimes moving default system config dirs for pipewire. Eventually I expect most config work simply to be automated on install, including pulseaudio removal. I think I'll wait a bit yet therefore to avoid having to do it all over again later.
Should be soonish though, since already default in Ubuntu with Gnome desktop (as is Wayland; but problem there is that lighter DEnvs like XFCE are not yet Wayland ready)

You can find a complete recipe for running PipeWire with PulseAudio and ALSA compatibility in https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/w ... initrc#L46. pavucontrol and Blueman work just fine and the transition should be seamless if you do something similar. (And screen capture works under Wayland, for both spot and root.)
In Puppy, .xinitrc starts a separate D-Bus session bus for spot, runs PipeWire and WirePlumber as spot (so applications run as spot can talk to them) under this instance, then forces applications running as root to use spot's instances (so root doesn't need its own PipeWire and WirePlumber instances, reducing RAM consumption).

That's basically what the "system" mode does when it runs as root in pulse audio, force it to run as a separate user.
It looks like "system" mode is going to be deprecated for pipewire. It's a compile option, which isn't in the default debian version, which makes it really impractical for Debian Dog.

That's why Puppy runs it in "session" mode. In addition to the clear future-proofness and portability benefits of not running it in "system" mode, Puppy uses a single "session" instance for both root and spot, something nice to have in any lightweight distro that runs applications as root. PipeWire is 3 processes (pipewire, pipewire-pulse and wireplumber), each with many dependencies (some big), so the saving are not negligible.
Updated Bookworm Build script

*** Updated Bookworm Build script *** (attached at first post)
Important change:
- Debian has now a separate repository for nonfree firmware: non-free-firmware
Added it in the script to be able to use it.
For an existing build, change in /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib non-free
To (add "non-free-firmware"):
deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm main contrib non-free non-free-firmware
(also added this change to updated "repo-conf" (1.0.3) package in custom repository)
Other changes:
- No prompt anymore during build for yes/no overwriting (custom) /etc/rc.local
- The Desktop environment chosen (DE_CONFIG variable) now added to the "build_setup.conf" file.
Btw, now that the "soft freeze" has happened for Bookworm, I don't expect any unpleasant surprises anymore running the build script (and mid of this year Bookworm becomes the "stable" branch).

I refreshed my ISOs with the new script.

Thanks, yes it's systemd related, did some digging and found here how to find "acl" files:
https://superuser.com/questions/398448/ ... h-acls-set
In the "bookworm" directory (where chroot is inside) (and found chroot/var/log/journal) :
Code: Select all
root@live:/mnt/live/mnt/nvme0n1p3/bookworm# getfacl -R -s -p chroot | sed -n 's/^# file: //p'
chroot/var/log/journal
Or :
ls -l chroot/var/log/
Code: Select all
.....
.....
ls -l drwxr-sr-x+ 2 root 999 4096 mrt 16 10:48 journal
....
Note the '+' , mksquashsfs cannot handle these files
But long story short:
Not a problem, as in the booted system the '+' is back for the /var/log/journal directory.

Yes, I see, conky with all dependencies became very big now.
Always difficult and tricky to interfere with the very strict Debian package management, so I would recommend not to do, but anyway... tried some trickery.
The libimlib2 from Bullseye doesn't have that much dependencies, so here's modified libimlib2_1.7.1-2_amd64.deb (made it version 1:1.7.1-2, the '1:' at the front of the version is trick it to make that dpkg *thinks* it's newest)
https://doglinux.github.io/book-worm/libimlib2/
To try, first install the other debs (libtiff5 and libwebp6) and then libimlib2.
Just for testing, experimental, cannot predict the consequences in the long term.
Perhaps you have idea ?

Thanks !, yes, forgot about that, added 4.18 to custom repo now, I compiled thunar with "no root warning" patched, it's version 1:4.18.4-1 and will override the official Debian version.
Still you can install the Debian version if preferred (has root warning) apt install thunar=4.18.4-1
(will be seen as downgrade though).
Lots of changes in Bookworm compared to Bullseye, e.g. gtk2 less supported, python2 in fact not supported anymore (all python3 now), but added minimal python2 support in custom repo.
Also it seemed that forcing "usr-merged" system can't be avoided.
Hard to keep up with all these changes. So there may be some things unexpected.

I almost finish my Bookworm build. Need some more testing.
Not so much config changes need compare to Bullseye.
I expect problems with "usr-merged". But no see any trouble.

As far as I know the only problem that may arise is if added an extra .squashfs module loaded (at boot) contains a regular directory e.g. /lb or /bin (rather than a symlink) , then boot will fail because of that.
Doesn't go for .deb packages, if it contains regular /lb or /bin dir it's fine, apt or dpkg can handle it.

*** Updated Bookworm build system ***
Appimages maintained again (for to use on Puppy or other NOT Debian(dog) systems), I tested on FossaPup and KLV-Airedale, has dependencies included, download and info:
https://debiandog.github.io/MakeLive/Re ... rmdog.html
edit: ...............................
There were some reports in the past that running it on Puppy there was an error because of libgtk3-nocsd not found.
Should be fixed now, as libgtk3-nocsd0 will be installed initially by the debootstrap process.
.....................
(note: running from a "gvfs mounted" partition may fail, see here: viewtopic.php?p=88394#p88394)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Small change in the mklive-bookworm script:
- User 'puppy' gets now the uid 1000
(instead of previously being 1002 (1000 is better IMO for the main unprivileged user)
If always running the system logged in as root, this update is not of much value, btw.
Re-attached mklive-bookworm at first post.
Now that Bookworm will become the 'stable' branch soon, I don't expect major problems running the build script, but y'll never know .
RAM usage display on Bookworm

by fredx181
I noticed on Bookworm that the RAM amount 'used', as free
or top
or conky
show, is very much higher than it was before (e.g. on Bullseye or Buster), double or even more!
This has to do with the newest "procps" package (2:4.0.2-3) (which includes free, top ).
Htop and task-manager show the *correct* amount, btw. (but I'm not really sure what is 'correct' these days ).
To change to 'correct' RAM usage display, install a slightly older procps:
Install both these packages (version 2:3.3.17-7.1) (edit: install first libprocps8):
libprocps8: https://github.com/doglinux/book-worm/r ... _amd64.deb

There should not be a problem with cpu-x (or other package depending on libproc2-0) as libproc2-0 (2:4.0.2) will still be installed (so then libprocps8 and libproc2-0 are both installed).

Anyone else experiencing this ? (edit: or not ?)
With kernel 6.1.0-7 (and earlier) it was OK for me.
EDIT: Used 'Monitor settings' from menu (lxrandr) but also tested "Display settings" on a XFCE build, same problem.

I refreshed my bookworm ISOs collection using latest mklive (from page 1).
I don't use bookworm.
Still using buster/bullseye on most of my laptops.

I tested bookworm-ddog on 2 laptops.
It does not look like I experienced it (kernel 6.1.0-9).
Samsung NP740U3 - default 1920x1080
Fujitsu S962 - default 1366x768
Note - I didn't do extensive tests. Just switching resolutions to see X crashes, and it didn't, all seems to work fine only lower/uglier resolution.

Thanks, good to know. It seems my "newish" Asus laptop doesn't like kernel 6.1.0-8 (or higher) for some reason (that I don't know yet).

Model name ? GPU ?
I can look for similar hardware.
I try to reproduce on some machines but change resolution work ok with 6.1.0-8.

Did lots of searching on the web but couldn't find a real solution for the (total) freeze problem after setting resolution with xrandr.
But I could workaround it by creating a simple xorg.conf (and resolution 1600x900 is OK at boot):
Code: Select all
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen 1"
DefaultDepth 24
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1600x900" "1360x768" "800x600"
ViewPort 0 0
EndSubsection
EndSection

I do get this in Radky's Bookworm Puppy. A longshot, but maybe related???
I'll have to look and see what the kernel is on the last bookworm I built, which worked fine.

I'm on kernel 6.1.0-7 right now and it works for me on my laptop (the new Debian bookworm puppy doesn't).
I'm going to build another one with the latest kernel and see if I get similar issues.

I just built a DD Bookworm with the latest -9 kernel. Posting from it now.
It boots, but to the 800x600 screen just like Puppy Bookworm, but doesn't freeze.
xrandr and the monitor settings program only sees 800x600.
Something is up with it.

That's bad ! Hopefully it will be fixed with later kernel versions.
EDIT: As I said in the BookwormPup64 thread, on my 15 years old HP laptop I'm having no problems at all with latest kernel, weird !
EDIT2: When you have time, can you try creating xorg.conf similar as I did viewtopic.php?p=89499#p89499 but with your preferred resolution as being first (at Modes line) ?
