ggv94 Kernel panic is usually a result of a corrupted SD card or an incomplete installation. If this installation was working ok and the error suddenly appeared on a later boot/reboot then most likely is a power cut - aka switching off the supply - before the OS had finished writing its housekeeping...

Hi step, According to the first post on this thread Raspup has been tested on Pi1 but there are few details. I guess it was most likely a 512mb model, they are commoner, so if yours is 256mb you might be the first to try that variant. Have you tried boot to shell? If you get a prompt you can at leas...

Have you checked you have the right file for your Pi?

The sample you provided upthread suggests you are installing an img for a very early model?

and that the card you're using is compatible with your Pi?

Cheerio,

Hi step,

Several things wrong in your setup - but you're not alone, There's a documentation problem in that the search engines tend to steer folks to obsoleted pages.

We addressed this issue on page 11 of this thread, take a look and you should be OK.

Cheerio,

is there any advantage in moving the system onto a usb3 stick

If you're short of memory, yes, but it'll be slower.

'though only Pi4's have usb3 - iIrc.

Cheerio,

don570 - yes, upper case M If you have plenty of memory for large buffers you could try 2M or 4M for a quicker copy. tony The file should have been moved out of temp once download was finished - either you had not yet given the DL process a valid destination or the process failed at some point - che...

- Lobster,

When you do get access better point out this is for Pi2 or later, Pi 0 & 1 need the other .img and -swap must be inserted in the filename.

Cheerio,

Youre working too hard don570 ;-) There's no need to format or partition the micro SD - the format is already in the .img file - just dd it straight over the top. The instructions for the pre-release development version are now superceded; the release is straightforward. Because I'm setting up sever...

Update:

Oops.

I've just discovered that Devx *is* in the packages list - but not under that name - perhaps edit the description to include the name to help careless old Puppy users who are scanning hastily...?

Gd&r,

Hello Micko, This is a nice little distro and on a Pi4 4GB it's quick enough that I'm making it my primary home workstation. I've been though the install/setup process three times now - would have been two but I made one unuseable when experimenting with EDID settings before setting up SSH... and I ...

Wheee - here we go... Thanks Micko, This sort of thing is a lot of work and we appreciate it. I've had a headless multipurpose server running the pre-release Raspup on ethernet for the last fortnight and I'll shift everything to the final release asap. Essentially: VNC, FTP, Samba, CUPS and the begi...

Now here's a thing: I upgraded the PI4 4GB firmware after reading an article in the latest MagPi Using Raspbian: sudo apt update sudo apt full-upgrade and then reboot. Then I returned to Raspup to see if there were any significant changes I only found one so far: Using wireless - PING 192.168.1.254 ...

I've not tried with an iPad but VNC and SSH work fine on Android and there are clients for ios. You may need a display while you're setting up. I've had a couple of Pi's running continuously as servers for several years now - attach an ssd and it's a really cheap way to run NAS. If you have a mix of...

Hi Micko,

When creating a save file the defaults work fine.

When the file is placed on another partition - in my case the other part of the micro SD, it is not found.

- this from a one-off situation, not exhaustively checked.

Cheerio,

Release Candidate downloaded. In general use it seems slick and stable but wireless has still got some issues. I repeated the ping tests from upthread using the new command line network setup. PI4 4GB at 1920x1080 resolution: PING 192.168.1.254 (192.168.1.254): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.1....

Please can someone with different screens available and a Pi4 confirm this: All my tests upthread were done at 1920x1080 screen resolution. Today I tried 1366x768 resolution, and while at that setting retried pinging the router. ...and got an improvement. It's still very ropy but wlan was easier to ...

Hello Micko, As is Raspup WiFi is sufficiently responsive for *just* long enough that a cursory test looks OK but longer transfers fail. Your short-burst test and the intermittent, grouped, response to my longer ones makes me wonder: Is there something else taking up resources and only releasing eve...

I replaced the Pi4 4GB with a Pi4 1GB and got essentially the same results then with a Pi3B and although the WiFi was better it was still poor. All 3 Pi's on Raspup lost over 50% packets,see typical runs below. This explains the success only with FTP which is designed to be very fault tolerant. All ...

Hello 01micko, I've narrowed the issue a little - and found another. All this is on a RPi4B with 4GB ram. I connected with ethernet to avoid the WiFi problem (below) and tried again to log into samba. Pnethood can't find any servers on a scan or refresh - when I disabled cifs (a known Pnethood probl...

Thanks 01micko, devx does enable the AppImage to run. I'll let the builder know and suggest he adds a note to help other Raspup users. Odd thing though: Under Raspbian the AppImage runs much faster, I would have expected it to be about the same speed: Complex part script on Raspbian renders in 12 mi...
