you use woof-ce
i will use debiandog-live

Fine with me, as long as nobody spreads what may be perceived as FUD about the projects they don't use and discourages potential contributors.

and would eliminate the problem
of woof-ce being unusable for most people

Is this a real problem? Is this the primary reason for Puppy's stagnation, and not the lack of skilled contributors?

Do you see the same problems if you change the GTK+ theme to Adwaita?

Personally, I would consider it better if forum took more central interest

Who is 'forum'? What stops you from submitting it to DW yourself?

@d-pupp You're trying to mount the wrong image or trying to mount it the wrong way, because the image doesn't contain an exfat file system, it's a device image with one or two partitions.

I actually did that manually

I also cleaned up the diff manually, I kept the top-level configuration changes I made myself and removed changes to dependencies (merge_kconfig.sh takes care of dependencies). This makes the delta more 'portable' across kernel versions

The included Bootflash (under the Setup menu) should work reliably, and Balena Etcher should be able to write the ISO directly to a flash drive.

I don't know what the other installers do, but I know that some of them are broken.

I think 9 has been deprecated and 11 is developmental. But a direct link to current 10's ISO thread would help.

viewtopic.php?t=7656 is sticky and explains the differences and links to downloads, so does https://vanilla-dpup.github.io/.

Don't feel too bad about this, I have a laptop where hard block is sometimes enabled randomly after reboot, especially if the battery is drained.

Which firmware package do you use?

https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/w ... kworm#L280

If you want to unplug the flash drive you're booting from you'll need to avoid any kind of persistency and copy to RAM. You can do this by adding pfix=ram. If you're saving changes the flash drive remains mounted.

As Fred says, you probably didn't give the script execution permissions.

If you want to use /etc/xdg/autostart instead, you'll need to create a .desktop file.

but I was referring to the X.org version of your vanilladpup 10.*

I understand that, but I prefer to spend less of my time on deprecated stuff that will go away in future versions. If anyone volunteers to submit a fix to woof-CE, I don't mind cherry-picking this fix into a future 10.0.x release.

@dimkr perhaps could resolve this in the next build?

Redshit doesn't support Wayland so this is a dead end, I feel like it's a waste of development time.

@Airdale My bad, it should have been /usr/lib/dkms/dkms_autoinstaller start.

I see the driver is installed, let's see if it's loaded and no firmware is missing:

/usr/lib/dkms/dkms_autoinstaller start
dmesg -c > /dev/null
modprobe wl
dmesg
