@gyro, I didn't test with the presize param set, I would expect to get the kernel panic. I'll attach the init I used and @mash and @bigpup can test it too, without changing boot options. A thought did occur to me. If the mmc/sd/whatever drive is formatted gpt then fdisk will fail, probably critically.

@bigpup and @mash.. just before the prompt doesn't it say "To save debug info to a partition, type 'debugsave'" '

Do it and post the results (just zip up the resulting directory on your drive)

DISCLAIMER: probably doesn't support nvme type drives

I have a Dell Latitude E7270 laptop with builtin card reader. The reader is not available for booting unless I use gyro's initrdmodules tool. The computer boots fine from a usb stick with the sdcard plugged in, but nothing can be found on it until zdrv is loaded of course. For the record, I'm runnin...

Well maybe my commit is buggy! That shouldn't happen so either I revert the commit or put in further tests to make sure we booted off the particular device. Latter is the real solution. I still can't get my head aroud the ides that there is a coding bug in that code that is directly causing a kerne...

There are updates at my github... but on one of my machines there seems to be a bug in cairo! However memory leaks that were concerning cairo are fixed. Anyway - see https://github.com/01micko/pmcputemp Older 0.72 pets are at ibiblio, built on slacko based on slackware 14.2 (YMMV on anything older) ...

OK, I think I got it. This post should be prepended by Jean-Luc Picard's facepalm. "The problem" exists only in some circumstances which I describe. I am curious if anyone of you tried to boot from SD card and succeeded because my SD card and/or reader was the case of the problem. So, the...

This is initrd which worked for me: https://www.mediafire.com/file/op0b95aedxd7rrq/initrd-266c30cca-20191206.gz/file I just downloaded that initrd and indeed it doesn't conatin the 'Please wait...' part.. intriguing if that causes the problem! I could understand if booting off an sdcard .. maybe I'...

The fix seems to work in Pfontview too but of course would need further testing. If you are confident with patch command you can run the following command as long as you save the attached gzipped file to /root (cd / ; zcat ~/pfontview-show-correct.diff.gz | patch -p0 ) The gzipped file contains the ...

Yes, rgb.txt is less essential than it used to be and AFAIK some distros have ditched it altogether, but as long as Puppy keeps a copy and as long as some applications use it, it should be accurate, shouldn't it? Keeping an outdated copy that was created 20 years ago (acc, to its header) in modern ...

Many thanks!

fixed in woof-ce

try this git log -p <path> # relpath/to/suspect/ I suppose you can loop through all paths and redirect to a file because it could get rather long in a vt. It prints out the diffs. EDIT0: I took the liberty of writing a crude script. The script depends on being run in a git repo directory and a commi...

Here's a clue
An ssl problem? A config problem?

Out of time right now, off to work

@666philb am downloading now, :) I compiled the latest dunst in slacko and libxdgbasedir is dropped as a dependency so that may be worth looking into for the next. Cheers ============================ Later... New kernel seem ok :). Vivaldi is running niceley as spot. GFTP seems working here. Just up...

One other issue with change kernels - 64bit libau kernel kit files in slacko derivatives go in /usr/lib64, whereas those for ubuntu derivatives go in /usr/lib with /usr/lib64 as a symlink. That's why I specify which flavour each kernel is. Yes an oversight. While Slacko64 is quite happy with the au...

A while ago I released version 0.4 to address a mistake with downloading the testing version. It is now hosted at github. Just hit DOWNLOAD and download will be offered.

See main post

Yes I was just thinking that yesterday when I used it in fossapup.

I'll fix it in woof something like zdrv_xxx_xxx.sfs maybe?

Ok, done in woof.

Here is the file https://raw.githubusercontent.com/puppy ... ge_kernels

I don't install Vivaldi from the deb directly, because because it contains the Chromium postinst script which broke Puppy when I tried it long ago. I extract the deb with xarchiver, copy over the symlink and desktop file. I edit the desktop file to add run-as-spot to the exec lines. I make an SFS o...

run-as-spot is working for me with Vivaldi. Vivaldi put it's configuration files in /home/spot/.config/vivaldi. I copied a history file from my normal Bionicpup64 to "default" there. That saved me retyping all the URLs. Have you installed any third party debs with a postinst script that b...

Few of things users are broken (spot and finn).
