@mikewalsh , perfectly explained, no doubt but... What happend when you choose the option to run your cpu at PERFORMANCE LEVEL and all the time at its maximum speed? This way is like configure your cpu to never relax, all the time working at its maximum power, doesn't it? Now I never play with this...

Phoenix

Could you post the log? I recall fixing it but it has been a long time...

Phoenix

If you want to do that, you need to use pkg to add in the kisak-mesa (stable) repo. Additionally it will have to be installed directly to your save file to overwrite existing files, it cannot be packed into a squash file. Also if you forget to install everything... chaos will break loose. But palemo...

Phoenix

The script does not background the syncs, so it should block on sync disk wait, if there is anything left to be written. The sleeps feel like a dirty patch. As of note depending on how you decided to boot up puppy, it may cause the parent partition to always have a dirty flag bit set since its not p...

Phoenix

You can create an NTFS partition on the usb, assuming this usb is not being used at the moment. Linux and Windows can write to this.

Phoenix

This is NOT a solution. Rather it is a question. Further this is a follow-on to this USB information USB technology is advancing. PCs have been advancing, sometimes, in step as USB progresses. ALL of you know of these physical port changes occurring over the past 2 decades. AND, most of you know th...

Phoenix

Is this been disassembled or taken to repair before?

Phoenix

It should, yes. It'll simply pipe output of xzcat to dd which will then directly write to the device. So what you should be doing is making sure is to not mess up the 'of' parameter of dd.

Phoenix

You COULD enable Sysrq but.. the kernel devs don't advise this. Regardless if you want to enable this which the kernel will always respond or will respond to (eventually), you can configure this functionality and rebuild the kernel. To call the OOM killer you can invoke it via Sysrq+f or, Alt+PrtScr...

Phoenix

It seems like your card is there, based off this: https://www.realtek.com/en/products/com ... /rtl8822be
It states it uses a USB 2.0 interface for the bluetooth controller.
As well, thanks to @bigpup I am wrong about the modules included, so you'll need to download the pet.

Phoenix

Is there anything in lsusb? It may be connected to one of those usb controllers, and therefore won't show up in lspci.
As well, it seems if I am not wrong, it uses kernel 5.4.53 meaning you already have the modules for this network card.

Phoenix

This running S15Pup64-22.12+1-T Puppy version. This is the output of the demsg command: # dmesg | grep irmware [ 29.007958] i915 0000:00:02.0: Direct firmware load for i915/glk_dmc_ver1_04.bin failed with error -2 [ 29.007966] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] Failed to load DMC firmware i915/glk_dmc_ver1_0...

Phoenix

@bigpup - I guess dmesg | grep irmware didn't show anything missing? Does your source match the minimum kernel requirement (I've had a mismatch happen in the past)? I looked at a driver from here: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8723du The instructions make menion of a signed install - UEFI MOK mana...

Phoenix

That symbol is a 'mangled' one. Good luck guessing it but most likely everything it links to will require an update. Tahr is extremely old.

Phoenix

Audio and video can be reallllly big. One youtuber posted about how their project is 140GB. And that's not even for a very long music video!

Phoenix

It may be the stock fossapup's kernel does not have support for eMMC cards built in, but as a module. This means you must now change out vmlinuz and zdrv-<insert some text here>.sfs to a different kernel (with support built into the kernel and not as a loadable module). You can do this via your work...

Phoenix

I'm getting a problem in tahrpup with large areas of windows in some applications turning black, or occasionally grey, or sometimes into gibberish, when the window is resized. Apparently this is quite a well-known fault in a number of Linux versions. A lot of people recommend disabling window anima...

Phoenix

You can't have the VM create a save session on your desktop, virtualbox doesn't allow this sort of thing, as well this means your VM is not contained and therefore not virtual. A key point of a VM is that its a machine that can be wiped clean anytime, and only exists with that boundary. As said, cre...

Phoenix

It's safe to say that these SSDs aren't going to hold up at all, so probably you'll have to get a refund and recycle these SSDs.

Phoenix

They are unmounted first, right? F3probe operates directly on the device so no need for a partition. For your SD Cards you have gotten the wrong path so you'll need to double check that. From https://fight-flash-fraud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage.html#how-to-fix-a-fake-drive , damaged mean it is s...

Phoenix

It goes to /lib/firmware but first try the directory suggested by the documentation.

Phoenix

It should not be there, try navigating to /home/spot or refreshing. Otherwise most likely some sort of 'change' occurred, causing it to be written to the read-write layer. So if you want to delete it you must ensure that the file in the squashfile is identical, otherwise you'll lose data.

Phoenix

Use PPM. Puppy doesn't have Apt installed by default. What I mean, is that your computer has been tricked into thinking that there is 2TB of space or so, so it tries formatting this space. But the hardware that has been adjusted, will loop around causing overwrites. So if it only has 32GB of space a...

Phoenix

Both are bad. One of them is totally bad; can't create a Partition-Table; gives an Input\Output Error right away. The other - I started from half of the whole size, and continued to halve it - until the biggest size without an error ― and it was about 30GB. Adding another 30GB partition - finished ...

Phoenix

Should the glibc be loaded in /opt? This looks a lot like what is being done with portable applications in order to run newer applications with older Puppys (which is normally created/loaded outside of the running file system and then the library paths linked). So basically the old glibc are not re...

Phoenix

I don't think we should outright replace it using another core squashfile which will provide the newer libc. And NO, you cannot willy nilly swap glibc's: glibc is backward compatible but not forward, you cannot use an application linked to libc 1.1 with libc 1.0. Instead we should create the option ...

Phoenix

512MB for a reasonably modern browser with reasonable compromises with relative slowness. 256MB is near impossible and I tried. It gave up and killed itself and that's with puppy's modified firefox browser. If you wish, get yourself the latest source code of elinks, or get a copy of source code from...

Phoenix

An FYI, 32-bit is mostly dead in the Linux ecosystem. You generally do not want to use 32-bit unless you're limited by the cpu. If you need a bit of swap (when memory is not enough) but don't want to kill off the SSDs/eat up more space, modprobe zram && echo 512M > /sys/block/zram0/disksize ...

Phoenix

It's no one fault but puppy, really. It's not the same as Ubuntu. If you can extract the debs and install those instead.

Phoenix

It isn't as simple, because of how varied Linux is. One package does not usually work on another system. There are ways to mitigate this e.g AppImage, statically linked musl but they all have their flaws. You'll likely have to build from source or search the forum.
