mikewalsh (or rockedge ), could you start localsend (either installed or the portable where 'discovery' works) from terminal and post the results? Redact anything you don't want in it. My installs start and seem to run ok in the pups I mentioned above but the UDP discovery is failing. Firewall is o...

Just started to play with this as portable. I now have it opening in my installs of the current LxPupSc64 (23.01 +6), Voidpup64 (github 04/20/2024 build), and Bookworm64 10.0.6. To get it to open in my install of BW64, I needed the libraries in libdbusmenu_BW64.tar.gz, and for my LxPup64 and Voidpup...

The problem comes in when a non-usrmerge pet or SFS overwrites the OS simlink with a physical directory and breaks that symlink -and the OS- jrb and I pretty much had that ironed out in jammypup64 by E1 (upup-22.04-jrb-E1.iso). The main work/change was in /usr/local/petget/install.sh there, attached...

Marv

... Then I guess that all the lovely 'old' Puppys will not be worked on any more, shame really. ... I -a pretty old dog- use, support, and work on both structures pretty much at the same time in my kennel. Structure adjusting kernels is simple and jrb did some nice work on structure adjusting scrip...

Marv

Quick trial here in Bookworm64 10.0.6, structure usrmerge adjusted. Clean dmesg, good idle resource use, good glxgears FPS. Daily use snappy but none of that pushes the low latency. In a brief side-by-side look at CPU temps and fan run-time on the Fujitsu S761 laptop (has a crummy hair trigger fan a...

Marv

Got the PM and kernel. Tested (structure adjusted for slackware) using the same testbed as above and the dmesg fail on boot is gone. USB detection rechecked and seems normal. Posting from that install using Brave portable now. So far good here.

Thanks,

Marv

@ozsouth, Setting CONFIG_TMPFS_POSIX_ACL=y in 6.8.4 might be worth a try. See https://blog.tfiu.de/-failed-to-reset-acl-with-elogind-why-.html for a possible clue. It is not set in 6.8.4 but is set =y in peebee s' 6.6.25 kernel I am using in LxPupSc64 and Voidpup64 at the moment and no ACL errors th...

Marv

ozsouth , Detection of a 32Gb USB3 stick with both FAT32 and EXT2 partitions on it seems normal. Multiple inserts, mounts, unmounts, removals, reinserts, mounts, etc. done. Testbed is a pristine frugal install of LxPupSc64 23.01 +6 with only the kernel swapped to the 6.8.4 one. The ACL error noted ...

Marv

I've run this sucessfully in LxPupSc64 23.01 +6, Voidpup64 04132024 version, and with structure usrmerge adjusted, in Bookworm64 10.0.6. My usual frugal installs to a FAT32 boot partition on SSD, savefiles in the LxPup and VoidPup. ydrv driven -no savefile- in Bookworm64. Fujitsu S761 2nd gen i5 bas...

Marv

Updated my 240223 install of Voidpup64 (rolled back to that for non-malware xz) to the 240413 version. My usual 2nd gen i5 based laptop, conventional frugal install to SSD with savefile. Clean dmesg, excellent idle resource use, normal daily operation with all portables continuing to run correctly. ...

Marv

The update is fine here. I've run both 6.6.17 and 6.8.4 in VoidPup64 with no problems. Didn't want to step on @peebees' toes so I hadn't replied as yet.

Marv

I've been running the 6.8.4 (first aoi, then aoe) kernel on VoidPup64 02222024 version (rolled back due to the xz malware), LxPupSc64 23.01 +6, and with structure usrmerge adjusted on Bookworm64 10.0.6 for a couple of days now. Basically uneventful in all 3. Clean dmesg in BW64, one minor dmesg erro...

Marv

@ozsouth Glad to see you are continuing to support fossa-less. The main SFS there is a wonderful core for small bur very capable pups.

Thanks again,

Marv

I don't have exfat or ntfs partitions to play with but I refreshed my memory by placing a copy of one of the portables in my FAT32 partition and launching it from terminal. What is failing there is setting the permissions of the lib, PROFILE, and chromium directories to spot:spot. Therefore chromium...

Marv

Just to help see what your drive/drives are, open a terminal and run blkid (blkid /dev/sd* should be a little more specific) and post the results. For example, my system shows: root# blkid /dev/sd* /dev/sda: PTUUID="59f081e6" PTTYPE="dos" /dev/sda1: LABEL_FATBOOT="BOOT"...

Marv

Fully portable here since the getgo. Many pups share it. My boot partition on SSD is FAT32, all my portables are placed in either an EXT2 or EXT4 data partition on that SSD, depending on the machine, and called either by symlinks or more commonly from .desktop applications within the pup that execut...

Marv

Governor , It's been a looong time, but I have seen this with a FAT32 boot partition on an HDD or SSD, can't remember which. What got me out of the bind was first to reboot passing pfix=ram as a kernel parameter or boot from another device altogether. At any rate, the affected partition must not be...

Marv

radky Pulled all patches from my ydrv. rebooted into 10.0.6. So far so good. connman connection survives reboots and lidsuspends. Just normal daily operation so far, I haven't used the connection manager to switch from connman to SNS or one of the others yet. I'll do that later. Thanks, Update: Ins...

Marv

rerwin , That does the trick here on my Fujitsu S761 laptop circa 2012. resolve.conf is now populated correctly on boot and the connection survives lidsuspend and restarting the WM. I had put a script calling /etc/init.d/connman restart in my Startup directory as a workaround. That is no longer nec...

Marv

Hi @Marv Is your PET available? Would it have Fred's suggestion? Thanks. Just use the one from fredx181 s' repository two posts up installed as he suggested. Mine is -as I said- cobbled though It (4.9) is still working very well here after a long suspend on this sometimes problematic laptop. Just c...

Marv

Just for diagnostic purposes, I installed peasywifi 4.9 (I don't have the official pet, cobbled one together from the current Devuan-daedalus live squashsfs) and then used the internet connection manager (Menu>Setup>internet connection manager) to switch to it. Comes up correctly with a viable resol...

Marv

Very briefly, ydrvs are usually used for customizing an installation. If they exist in the boot directory and are appropriately named they are automatically loaded at boot. Once I have a pup set up, I transfer my added applications, custom panel and menu, and symlinks to portable applications from a...

Marv

I am also seeing this on 10.0.5 and did not see it on 10.0.4. My hardware is: Fujitsu S761, 2nd gen i5 all intel laptop, circa 2012. If I then restart connman (/etc/init.d/connman restart), resolve.conf is populated normally. I think that it may be a timing issue and that connmand isn't waiting quit...

Marv

Brief test here in BW64 10.0.4 seems fine here also. Clean boot, clean dmesg, good glxgears FPS etc. Idle resource use good and unchanged from the 6.1.xx or 6.6.xx series kernels. Normal daily operation, portable browsers and Sylpheed all ok. No multimedia tests as yet. conmann restarts cleanly afte...

Marv

@ozsouth Just a standard 10.0.4 install. Wifi and Bluetooth are working except when the computer wakes up from suspend it looses wifi and has to be rebooted. Lsmod shows the module is still loaded, but when you open Connman no networks are shown. Any ideas on how to solve that? Thanks wizard I had ...

Marv

Downloaded full iso, md5sum check correct. Updated my +4 frugal install on the Fujitsu S761 laptop (2nd gen i5, all intel, circa 2012) to +6. The +4 install was already running the 6.6.17 kernel. The savefile was scrubbed and scrutinized prior to the update as usual. Clean boot, wifi connection, sou...

Marv

Jasper I've been using 'fire' off and on for a while now and continue to like its slimness. I have really only changed two things in it other than my own preferences -abiword out, geany & LXDE/PCManFM in- I added libdvdcss from the puppy-common64 repo so that all dvds would play and changed the...

Marv

@Marv @mikewalsh Not the problem here. Even with those things in place, when you click the "Choose file" button it does not open a file management window (nothing happens). Thanks wizard I'm going to be bold and bump this, knuckleslaps accepted. It seems that gtdialog-file_chooser will no...

Marv

@mikewalsh Mike, running BW64 10.0.4 and using your latest Chrome or Chromium Portables, my bookmark import function won't let me choose a file to import. Thanks wizard The bookmark files have to be in a 'spot' permissions directory and 'I think' have to have spot permissions. I have a Bookmarks di...

Marv

Updated my 03 Feb VoidPup64 install (see 2 posts above) using the 240202 build to the 240208 build. All system checks good, no issues seen in a days normal use. Posting from it now using the current Brave portable. Too many good pups in the kennel right now! How to choose :) Thanks, Update: An updat...
