Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Has anyone compiled the kernel in the last few days?
I got this:

Following the link I found this:

I just changed in the file build.sh line 239. Replaced git:// with https://. It worked

aufs_git_5="https://github.com/sfjro/aufs5-standalone.git"

@Grey - thanks for that - I last compiled a kernel on 14/3/22, without issue. Obviously kernel-kit will have a problem now.
Going through build.sh, I also have aufs3 & aufs4 (probably never use again), and I wonder if 'git clone' will be affected soon?

EDIT: I've now compiled a kernel with 6 changes in build.sh
- every reference to git:// was replaced with https:// (including 'git clone' links). Works fine.

Kernel kit at Github Woof-CE needs to be updated.......

All kernels later than the Xenial 32-bit kernel (I think that's around version 4.4) hangs at boot time on my old laptop. It works if one is okay with waiting about 2 minutes before getting to desktop with the result that I'm using older kernels with newer Puppy's to bypass this frustration. Can something be done about this or is it just what it is.....? I haven't checked yet but will older firmware (fdrv) work with a newer kernel and perhaps "solve" this problem?

@amethyst - Maybe try this 4.9 kernel: https://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linu ... ko.tar.bz2 & if it is slow, save the dmesg output & post it on forum. (4.4 went eol last month).

@Grey - I've now made a 5.15.30 64bit kernel - no issues. I use the kernel-kit master from 2018, with fixes for
some issues since (including the 6 git:// replacements).

@Grey what does your IP indicate geographically? I'm wondering if there is some type of block happening filtered by location or outbound traffic

I'm not hiding. My IP shows the Rostov region of Russia, everything is fair. Cities change periodically themselves - this is a feature of the telecom operator - but the region and the country do not change. I'll try in a while. I think at the moment I can use Aufs utils if I take them from the previous compilation.

I just saw this. https://github.com/github/feedback/discussions/12042 I'll try to read to the end.
It seems the discussion lasted six days and it was decided not to disconnect.

Not very good. But the arrow is launched, others may follow suit.

The fix in the form of changing all git to https was radical. Because of this, my situation with aufs was corrected, but the loading of aufs-utils "broke".

Now I had to manually change in the file build.sh two lines - 435 (aufs-util) and 475 (firmware) - changed https back to git. Now the script is satisfied and working.

I don't know if it's worth changing something on github.

@ozsouth This is the second (or third) time I have received a forum notification that links to you and a deleted (or non-existent) topic. Is it my glitches, your glitches or the forum ?

@Grey - I made a post, corrected it, then realised it was quite wrong a few minutes later so deleted it. Have done that a few times.
Sorry, only glitch is between my ears.
