Hi peebee, just tried the Arch32Pup-20.05+3, it will not >save< the puppy theme properly after I change it to "original pup" using the Puppy Theme Manager.
Also it did not save the changed background wallpaper (I had changed it to black) The changed theme gave me a broken desktop upon reboot.

The original Arch32Pup-20.05 saves the theme and background properly.

Just tried a couple more themes.
"431" did same as "original pup"
"xfwm touch" seems to save ok
Background wallpaper changes never saves on any of them.

Hi @perdido.
You are right - I also see this.
Afraid I'm not sure what's different about the ArchPup builds to cause this - my other UPup builds seem to be OK.
Also applies to the Arch64Pup build.....
If anyone can work out what the problem is that would be appreciated.

Hi peebee,
I ran ptheme from terminal in both Arch32Pup-20.05+0 and Arch32Pup-20.05+3.
Changed the theme to "original pup" and exited the program in both versions.
The +3 threw some errors during the run that the +0 did not have. May be a hint somewhere in the output?
Terminal output follows for each run, +0 is first.

+0 Terminal Output for ptheme changing theme to "original pup" and then exiting the program.
This one saves the changed theme to save folder and shows new theme on reboot.

Hi peebee,
In the Arch32Pup-20.05+3, the first run settings are not setting the locale in /usr/lib/locale/

I copied my /usr/lib/locale/ files from Arch32Pup-20.05+0 to the /usr/lib/locale/ Arch32Pup-20.05+3 save folder, now Arch32Pup-20.05+3 is saving theme changes and background wallpaper changes.
Discovered the "what" LOL, have no clue as to the "why".

-

I don't understand why, but......

the utilities locale and localedef (from glibc package) have stopped working:
/etc/rc.d/rc.country: line 63: /usr/bin/localedef: No such file or directory
/usr/sbin/chooselocale: line 447: /usr/bin/localedef: No such file or directory
/usr/sbin/chooselocale: line 1181: /usr/bin/locale: No such file or directory
/usr/sbin/chooselocale: line 1201: /usr/bin/localedef: No such file or directory

but give unhelpful error messages.

Replacing them with the Slackware versions works: ydrv:

Good one, peebee!
The "why" drv fixes the issue on the 32-bit Archpup +3

Still running your 32-bit bionic 19.03 as my daily driver, much appreciate your work.
It has run so well I have not had to look at alternatives but the Archpup-32 looks interesting
Thanks!

Is there a way to install packages from the AUR?

I don't know of a way I'm afraid ......... somebody else may be able to offer suggestions?

One of the russian Arch-versions of Puppy uses pamac+pacman. Can it be used in ArchPup too? Or is the PPM nailed down hard?

Hi peebee,

I'm a little bit late but post this anyway

Arch32Pup-20.05+3: I did my usual frugal install - sdb1 (FAT32) booted via grub4dos, sdb2 (ext4) for savefolders
--> does not offer savefolder in save-dialog, only savefile possible (2fs, 3fs, 4fs). One has to use savemark/savespec to make it ...

Arch32Pup-20.05+0 was ok in this respect (savefolder offered/created/found on reboot).

Your latest Arch32Pup-20.05+4 solved this "problem".

PS: I noticed in PupSysInfo: Boot Partition (sdb1) shows wrong size, it's actual the size of sdb2, where my savefolders are sitting ...

PPS: does not auto-connect to eth0, have to use SNS - no big thing

peace

Use this Pup daily and it is very nice to use. Glad Xine issue seems to be fixed.

viewtopic.php?p=626#p626

I'm thinking of installing this to a USB drive, but I'm not sure due to some issues I know. For example, my old ThinkPad has an internal Broadcom WiFI card and we all know the issue with that on Linux in general.

I also notice that ArchPup might lack access to the AUR. I might add the AUR to the PPM myself, but I kinda need a guide on that front, since I'm a novice and stuff.

Otherwise, I think ArchPup is a great idea and I hope it gets more attention. Because I always wanted to try an Arch-based distro myself.

Best regards,

Hi!

On a Acer Spin1- ArchPup64:

- psynclient dont work (It does not work on any Puppy in my case...flsynclient works)
- Although I charged the ensemble of Atheros modules, I have not been able to get wifi

Donc voila!

@BologneChe - need to know which adaptor you have. If it is onboard, please run (in a terminal):
lspci -nn | grep etwork (note: first letter is lower case L)

If it is usb, please run (in a terminal): lsusb

Then run (in a terminal): dmesg | grep irmware

Then please post outputs here.

Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter

@BologneChe - OK - firmware is a possibility. Did you run dmesg | grep irmware? Will tell if missing firmware.
I believe Archpup64 is missing firmware you need - is in .pet below.

Chromium Browsers produce the following error.....
Net:err_cert_authority_Invalid. Firefox and Seamonkey ok

@ozsouth

It works! Thank you very much for your help! Very appreciated!

Is this a "common" wifi? Should I add the firmware to the fdrv - it is not small!

@peebee - I have this in a small lenovo laptop a few years old. There may be numbers out there, but there are several other ath10k models. My Jan2021 fdrv has QCA9377, QCA988X & QCA99X0 - about 1.3mb all up (less when compressed). Then there are others, so not sure what to advise.

I will opine that atheros wifi 5K, 9K, and 10k are very popular in the last 15 years.

Hi peebee, downloaded ArchPup64 yesterday and am really enjoying it. Nice work as usual.

Found one problem so far. Osmo opens but segfaults when I try to find a contact or enter a new contact. Did some searching and found Barry's write up on the problem. I downloaded his libgtkhtml-2.12-r4-nocona-64.tar.xz, extracted it and replaced /usr/lib64/libgtkhtml-2.so.0.0.0. Seems to have fixed the problem.

Keep up the great work. Cheers J

Thanks for report @jrb
a known problem - probably the better way to fix is to revert libxml2 to slackware14.2 version ......... works for both 32 & 64........

http://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/ ... i586-2.txz
http://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/ ... 6_64-2.txz

will use these for next deltas.

Updates:
Arch32Pup-20.05+6 kernel 5.4
Arch64Pup-20.05+6 kernel 5.15

got this up and running on an Atom N270. Manual install of FF78.15esr to ROOT. Tweaked the shell script to point to /root instead of /opt. I had to install some GTK-3 libs to the firefox folder (NOT included), and other GTK3 to /usr. These came from FF98. Cant find anything closer too 78esr. Up and running and surfs well goes to ali-x, and ebay.

Now for the bad news. Trying to import, export, backup or install bookmarks crashes the Browser, but you CAN 'bookmark this page'. Keeping or modifying them is 'verboten'. The manually entered bookmarks did not survive a Shutdown... Gone.

Any ideas here?
