Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

@peebee - openh64 (2.3.2) & widevine (4.10.2710.0) versions downloaded are the same in 240323 & 240505. checkdeps didn't reveal any relevant libs missing. Mysterious. I confirm chromium64-alien works, so definitely a firefox issue.

@peebee - sadly, no difference - see pic below (I do enable drm & wait over 30sec, which works in 240420 & earlier):

@peebee - disappointingly, this s15pup64, as is (like 240505 & without any customising), will not play DRM videos via Firefox ESR (240420 & earlier did).

Thanks anyway Wiz57. Does ANYONE have the devx for s15pup64 240413 or 240420?

@Wiz57 - do you have the devx for 240413 or 240420?

@FloraMae - I made some puppy derivatives for older machines. I would recommend 2Gb ram, but 1Gb (maybe 512Mb) with a swapfile would work. Although I'm using an i5 with 12Gb ram, below are the usages for Fossa64-Medium, on Startup & then with Palemoon running:

So our new flagship pup, Bookwormpup64_10.0.6, ships with 6.1.76 overlayfs-only usrmerge kernel. We have come a long way this year.

version 2b released - see 1st post

@fbagnato - that message is usually due to a bootloader mismatch - possibly looking for an efi file on a non-efi system. It won't cause harm.

@fbagnato - you should have only 1 active initrd line - so place # to the left of the old one. Not sure what the auto-install microcode will do. Nice to see you're progressing well.

@FloraMae - interesting. I hadn't noticed that when I switched from gtk2 to gtk3 palemoon. Hovering a mouse over unlabelled icons identifies them. Doesn't affect operation, but is untidy. Can't see an easy fix.

v5 released - 08May2024 - updated Palemoon browser, poorercputemp & some small additions.
No ydrv - all my additions are in puppy sfs.
This should be the final release, as I've achieved my original aim & the code base is ageing.
See 1st post.

@dcung - would this .pet help?

@Jasper - for a generic fdrv, only /lib/firmware should exist (/usr/lib/firmware if usrmerge), however, bookwormpup64's fdrv also has microcode included.

@Jasper - if you make it an fdrv .sfs, could compress to about 180mb.

@vtpup - ok, would you post a copy of the 6.1.8 DOTconfig please? (hopefully, is under /boot, as config-...). Then I can try to make you a later kernel based on that. Perhaps pm it to me, as it might be a bit off topic here.

@vtpup - would be good to know what drivers you need, so would you please boot up Mint & in a terminal run:
lsmod > /mintmods.txt

& attach that file here.

@peebee - I used gcc 11.2 (s15pup64-231209) with my 5.15.150 failure, which was then ok to make 5.15.148 usrmerge kernel. I mostly use 10.2 (ScPup64_20.01), for compatibility with oldish pups.

@Chelsea80 - ah - I re-read your initial post - you were ENQUIRING about Noblepup, not actually running it, whilst you use bionicpup (non-usrmerge). Your Firefox SFS (above) should work in both.
