QuickPup64 24.01 RC7

[mistfire]

Is there a QP64 ISO with kernel 5.15 available?
Just curious.

To be released pretty soon. I currently test the NTFS3 native driver

[mistfire]

QuickPup64 21.08 BETA 14 released

Changes:
* Linux kernel 5.15 with NTFS3 support (thanks @peebee )
* Improved NTFS3 mounting. (It means NTFS3 is the default driver for mounting NTFS filesystem if it was supported by kernel)
* Improved handling of Dconf
* Mesa DRI drivers and some runtime libraries are now moved to a separate SFS module.
* Smaller main puppy SFS module
* Some fixes on ADRV SFS module
* Added XFCE Sensor Viewer
* Added neofetch
* Some bugfixes

NOTE:
* This is a bleeding edge for those who are using NTFS-formatted storage devices. Use it under your own risk.

In QP64-v13, I booted QP64-v14 in a Virtual PC

QEMU QuickPUP64-v14.jpg (12.86 KiB) Viewed 28293 times

Next, booted using the SG2D USB & also the Ventoy USB on a non-secureboot PC without any issues to desktop.

Session saving is as usual on PCs (real/virtual).

No issues to report. I will test on my secure-boot PCs with NTFS drives when time permits.

Wow, downloaded the ISO file to the USB and booted it in QEMU all in 62 seconds flat.

Putting the USB into a 'real' PC booted straight-away.

Thanks for the fresh approaches you are providing!

Hello @mistfire Hope your holidays are great.

On a pristine boot, the system's root show 2 files I am unfamiliar with; namely "sd_mod & sr_mod". What are these files. In the past, I have also seen sc_mod.

Are they crucial in either booting, system operations, or some subsystem use?

I have noticed how this system boots differently than most of the WoofCE PUPs depending on tool(s) used for ISO file boot launch.

System runs very well. Thanks for your good work.

I have no idea why those files produced at root level directory. I might be needed on other purpose.
QuickPup64 system boot was fully customized with tweaks.

gdrive link sharing failure

[Clarity]

Hi @mistfire. Got the message when accessing.

I responded and am looking forward to a share in my email when you approve.

Will test v20 when I get the share link in my Google Drive.
BTW: Would sharing that folder of your ISOs be a better option to reduce effort?

@Clarity

The download link has been fixed. You can now download the iso file.

Thank you

First many thanks to mistfire for its distribution I like it and it is the first distro puppy
that works well for me bluetooth.

I have problems with the wifi card Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 3168NGW [Stone Peak] (rev 10)

I tried several things to recognize my wifi card in: Quickpub64_v22.01 but I did not get it,
so I found a way to activate it that might help someone who is looking for how to do it.

1) Download the firmware from:

http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/no ... -3_all.deb

2) Create directory

mkdir /tmp/temp123

3) In the same directory are firmware-iwlwifi_20210315-3_all.deb open terminal and write:

dpkg-deb -x firmware-iwlwifi_20210315-3_all.deb /tmp/temp123

4) Inside of /tmp/temp123 there are two directories. /lib and /usr

go to /lib/firmware and with Thunar copy all inside in to the directorio of hardrive.

/lib/firmware

Overwrite everything and also the /intel directory

5) Another thing I did was add the modules inside > BootManager > "Add new module"

mac80211, iwlmvm and iwldvm

Restart the computer again, only then we can not connect to the internet using frisbee but usually it is
difficult and when we restart the computer again my configuration is not saved and I have to try again
connect by frisbee.

So as I like to connect more through Network-Wizard I did the following.

1) download the file:
network assistant.tar.gz

network-wizard.tar.gz

(42.26 KiB) Downloaded 85 times

2) extract it and get the directory :
network wizard

3) Save the hard drive directory, where we want :
/usr/local/network-wizard

4) In the unzipped directory we find the net-setup.sh file we have to replace it with the file of the same name within a directory /usr/local/bin .

5) The rest of the three remaining files will copy them replacing the originals within originals within the directory network-wizard :

/usr/local/network-wizard

Restart your computer and go to Menu > Setup > Internet Connection Wizard

Choose Network Wizard and then you can configure your wifi

For me it worked and save the configuration when I restart the computer and connected directly to the internet.

Possibly there are several more elegant methods to do it but this is the only one that has worked
for me so far, I hope it can be useful for someone else. Greeting.

Hi everybody.

At the moment I load devx_fossapup64_9.5.sfs it seems to work well, but I would like to know if there are any devx_quicpub64.sfs file.

Thanks.

See you.

[Anacleto]

Hello, I reply to myself I found the devx_sfs. It was in the old version of de Quicpup.64 the link:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/lxpup/ ... s/download

It seems to work well.

Thanks.

[Anacleto]

I would like to ask if anyone has changed in this Quickpub64 from XFCE to JWM.
In the desktop computer works well, but in the laptop it goes a little slow since it is a laptop a little old.
Thanks ..
See you.

May I know the name and model of your computer? What are the system specs?

Just download JWM and ROX-Filer then install it. Go to Menu>Shutdown then choose CHANGE DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT.
Select JWM then click OK

[Anacleto]

Thanks mistfire.

Hi I thought I could be installed, I'll download it and install it . Thank you.

See you.

I'm interested in using this in how it packages a lot of useful features together but...

I can't setup a wireless router connection. Connecting either expects a ton of details that the average user wouldn't know (forgive me, I'm a beginner), or the available networks come up completely blank. I didn't have this problem connecting with fossapup.

When the live system starts for the first time, it acts weird. I was stuck with only one option in connection setup wizard, and it took a restart to give me all the options on the initial screen.

[Anacleto]

Hi Treya I think you're asked me.
If so, the problem you have is with WiFi Intel card?

You say :

I can't setup a wireless router connection.

Can you specify more what is the problem?

Can you say more exactly what you did?

Greetings.

install intel firmware driver then reboot. Or use FossaPup64 fdrv module by renaming it as fdrv_quickpup64_22.01.sfs and replace the existing one then boot the QuickPup

QuickPup uses NetworkManager by default. Just click Network Tray to detect wifi connection.

[pitju]

On QuickPup64 in NetworkManager App my for ethernet connection the "Enable Neworking" checkbox is inactiv, but the connection is working. How to enable this checkbox?

Go to Internet Connection Wizard
Go to Desktop/Tray tab
Select Network Manager as default tool
Restart QuickPup

Hmm, sounds like it might fix the issue but I hope later on it'll support wireless easily out of the box.

Question is, how do I transfer the downloaded drivers considering quickpup is already put on a separate USB?

I presume I need to merge the ISOs but I've never done that before...
