VoidPup32 and VoidPup64 Discussion

[peebee]

Hi @peebee, just thought I'd let you know how much I'm enjoying the VoidPups. Nicely done.

Thanks @jrb

xml2 is needed to manipulate the Void repo databases.....

The Firefox sfs from Menu -> Internet -> Get Web Browser
plays sound OK - it includes apulse.

After vpm up

Deadbeef installs and plays OK, but the .desktop is not JWM compliant - you have to remove the F% from the Exec line

Code: Select all

Hi! Thank you for working on voidpup, it is one of my favorite pups to use right now.

I downloaded a current VoidPup32 a couple days ago and I am trying it out on an old 32-bit netbook right now. It runs very well!

But I did have one problem: there were no CA certificates installed, so things like vpm, curl, and other programs could not do HTTPS. Basically the /etc/ssl/certs/ folder was completely empty.

I manually ran this command in a terminal:

Code: Select all

update-ca-certificates

And that fixed it.

cheers!

Hi @artemis

I don't see this problem......../etc/ssl/certs is populated - see screenie
Was this a pristine boot?
I suspect you have /opt/vpup/vpm_holds which affects /root/Startup/00_start_vpup

vpm up works ok for me:

Code: Select all

# vpm up

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. /etc/ssl/certs also filled correctly here. The 6.6.25 kernel update noted with no issues seen there. No multimedia checks as yet. Lidsuspend and resume normal.

Posting from that install using the current Brave, portable, run-as-spot.

Thanks,

Update on 04/22/2024: Update from the 20240413 version to the 20240420 version (with 6.6.27 kernel) on bare metal went fine here. The usual Fujitsu S761 hardware, install and tests as above.

Update on 05/04/2024: Updated my 240420 install to the 240504 version. 6.6.29 kernel noted. No hitches or issues seen so far, testing and hardware as above. As part of getting localsend working -no problems in Voidpup64- I pulled MPV from my install (I don't use it, put it in to test it and VPM) using VPM and used an interim ydrv to shrink the savefile. Nice clean uninstall by VPM and the result runs very well from the ydrv sans savefile! Haven't made the downsized savefile as yet.
