I found the hosts file, and have edited it. I just don\t know if it will return on the next boot in the edited version. reboot and see if your edit persisted? if not, reboot without anything other than your power cord and your airdale USB plugged directly into your machines USB port, and redo your ...

I don't know why the Verbatim pen drive has a lock symbol on it, my current boot iteration is RAM-only mode booted from a CD.

FYI, my current boot of fossapup64_9.5 is from a closed CD and I chose RAM-only mode. I have booted this way countless times now and never encountered these issues previously........ either your CD is has become damaged, or you are not actually booting from the CD puppy is secretly reading this poi...

AFAIK, my EasyOS USB still works.

are you able to boot with the easyOS USB, make some changes and reboot with persistence working?
make this test with the easyOS USB the only device plugged into any of the laptop's USB ports.

So, I booted from my trusty CD, got the same Puppy menu as last time. I chose RAM-only mode because that one never fails. (And from the other topic) Gov looks like you have a boot loader working (BTW, what is the bottom pic of? I do not recognize the app from the screenshot) The screenshot is of th...

if you keep your save in the puppyfolder than nothing else is needed.

you can access anything on the drive. what would you like puppy to access? do you wish to keep something outside the savefile and need to locate it conviently?

williwaw

please describe in more detail how you "totally wiped"..... I deleted all partitions and created and formatted new ones. without any additional details, I would suggest you persue getting a USB working at this time. test your preferred persistence method and puppy/dogs. when it comes time...

williwaw

but what I'm trying to figure out is the way to do it in a script.

did the script initially open the terminal emulator?

williwaw

ctrl-c will stop a running command in a terminal session typing bash opens a new shell in the session, but does not end something running in the existing shell ctrl-d will end the terminal session if you logged on from a terminal, you opened a new shell as the logon user. in this case ctrl-d will lo...

I have totally wiped the nvme drive 3 times. I installed the pet version of nvme-cli by using the package manager, but I don't know how to get it to work. I tried "which nvme-cli" in terminal and got nothing. Thanks. please describe in more detail how you "totally wiped" type nv...

is this usb still working? https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=77684#p77684 if not, get a USB install functioning correctly. where did you get the nvme drive. was it factory installed in a new machine? have you ever totally wiped the drive before trying something new? there is a nvme cli pr...

I create my own information as I don't believe anyone anymore! ;) lol, I do something like that...... Does the reporting consist of facts or include judgements and read more like a narrative? If a narrative, ask your self what facts seems to be missing, and make a detailed query to see if someone c...

I just saw another topic with the same error: Adapting F-96-CE Puppy Linux for a Very Recent Laptop (3/2024) https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=11142 I don't fully understand if it finally got resolve or not, but it really went through a lot (49 posts) I think ozsouth provided a solution ...

williwaw

thats more to work with.

it is unusual to get the same error with two different computers unless the error is very basic, which is not apparent from what you have posted.

can you verify the errors are exactly the same with both machines and if not, post the other error?

Do you think the error indicates anything for what boot parameter could be wrong?

Its hard to tell, but if you post the boot menu in question, some might spot a discrepancy

In any event, I do not expect to be able to avoid having to re-configure all of my settings when I re-boot, no matter what I boot into Are you saying you have never rebooted a USB install with successful persistency? Geo_c's advice to test continuesly while you rebuild is prudent. Once you reformat...

and 2. and greater for backups the menu is turquoise? yes the same 2 and greater is not limited to backups. if you choose 0 and boot into ram and create a new save, it can be as big or small as you like and does not have to have any previous save stuff or be a backup. It can be a completely differe...

williwaw

I would rename the save folder on it to see what it would take. I knew I would need to edit the grub.cfg file on the efi partition you are aware of the ability of puppy to offer you a selection of various named saves in a menu you can select from? this menu should appear if you have more than one s...

But the 'What's up' problem in that brave new kennel-related world is that Puppy itself is effectively killed off and replaced by a distro called Vanilla Dpup whose sole developer is dimkr. If that becomes the case, this forum should definitely be rebranded and Vanilla Dpup only receive a small sec...

- is the best long-term route for Linux (and by extension, Puppy itself) to take? (I can't help feeling that, this being the case, it's also going to make the "bad actor's" job much easier, since one single exploit will automatically affect every distro extant, in one fell swoop). Mike, I...

please take a step back. you seem to be defining what puppy should be by how it is done,
not what it does.

trying to make a minimal core that can be added to with sfs files and why sfs files? what if sfs files were no longer the best way to do what puppy/dog has been using sfs's to acomplish anymore? In all this discussion about what is and what is not "puppy", I have been trying to identify t...

Not being familer with how the different build scripts work, I wish to ask if building the initrd is scripted or needs special expertise and attention by the dev.

Puppy?

I have not rebooted yet because it is a real hassle to re-configure all of my settings every single time .

Any ideas?

did you follow the reboot advice wiz57 gave 2 posts above?

try

search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set bf498d22-5de5-49a5-951e-5ac6b01e4489

if you hit e in the boot menu it will let you try various configs without having to do edits and reboots

For the file, /etc/grub.d/40_custom, I added the following without any braces: you would then need to run the proper command for the grub2 install in an Alpine terminal. the two links show a slightly different command to run. you might google around for the difference Then I ran Grub2Config bootloa...

williwaw

Use Alphine's application to customize grub.cfg when alpine is updated, it will run scripts that update the alpine grub2 menu. It will not write a proper Puppy menu entry. try putting your puppy menu entry in Alpines /etc/grub.d/40_custom https://gist.github.com/drmalex07/e9c44b9760b19c6211bc grub2...
