Every time I've had this happen - you'd be amazed at the number of distros that seem to use this setup for flash-drive installs - the only solution is to wipe the entire drive with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdX bs=1M Hi Mike. This method is probably easiest, but for the last five or so years I've had...

Really why other services (they are not X server dependent) from /etc/init.d are will not start if 'nox' specified? They should be started. In older pups anyway, /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit tells the system to start the scripts in etc/init.d. by this time, /etc/profile should have run. The init script sto...

Yes. It is built into webkitgtk+ which also needs gtk3. Altogether about 30M.
A few other small deps like bubblewrap and gstreamer/gst-plugins.

This would seem to distress new users: at first boot-up my wired ethernet device is not found, even though it was working before I booted up EasyOS the first time after installation to the USB flash drive. There was no network icon in the tray. (This is not new misbehaviour.) I had similar issues w...

Not a very good way to run, when using the internet

Evidence please.

icon for firewallstate is red.

Ditto what rockedge said. Built into lighthouse. I think Mike's comment about "any puppy" is not premature.

thanks for this,

Hi Peebee. What I did was... mkdir /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/OpenWith/.application_x-zstd-compressed-tar and symlink Xarchiver.desktop there and also /usr/local/bin/ExtractWithXarchiver. ExtractWithXarchiver: #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/xarchiver -e "$@" You can make pet or pkg (from pkgtoo...

Hybernation works, at least in lighthouse. To recover, use boot kernel parameter <resume=/dev/sdx> where sdx is the name of your swap partition/drive. The kernel (I presume) relabels the partition from "linux swap", so you'll be without a swap drive. Not sure the merge is complete after sw...

Many pups still have "do not suspend if usb media mounted" on or about line 29 of /etc/acpi/actions/suspend.sh (or /etc/acpi/suspend.sh ); comment out that block and usb installation should suspend fine. Also at end of script, make sure <rm -f "$LOCKFILE> has a quote to end the comman...

Since Peebee is the only one developing with Slackware Current other than myself, I've been keen on following his work. Current is by definition unstable. Peebee's done wonders with it. I've even taken to use his kernels in lighthouse. There's no repo really fit for PPM. That should be used as last ...

Hi Nic. How did you do this (in init script I presume)? Very interesting. I'd have thought it couldn't be done!

Aufs 5.4 is up and running. Latest nubuild.sh zipped through the k5.4.6. Posting from it now.

On download link, file size is reported (35.02 MB). first try was 403 and then " Uh, Oh! This file does not exist."

@ozsouth That was it!!! a missing firmware. required blacklist=rtl8xxxu kernel parameter. rtl8192eu is built in to my kernel. Will try peebee's next. can't thank you enough. Thought I'd exhausted the web search concerning this and had finally given up. Should probably call this thread solved. df

Hi Oz.
That's easy enough...Only properly identified in usb3. Current kernel is 5.3.11 (x86_64 - my compilation) but I've also been using PeeBee's version 5.4.5-lxpup64 which is pretty good.
(By the by, the win driver is netrtwlanu/rtwlanu)

Other difference is my inet is here eth1 instead of the expected eth0 for dhcp. Same with both stock and k4.4.6. Put your kernel, firmware & modules in my JL64 running slackware-current and the same behaviour occurs, so it's the kernel which is the issue. Yeah, the kernel assigns eth0 and eth1 ...

Hi Barry. Installed with EasyDD from lighthouse on Acer pc to kingston 8g usb stick. Smooth! Everything started right up, including proper sound card detection. In fact it's the first time any distro didnt run my line-out preamp and internal pc (mono) speaker simoultaneously (with all those snaps an...

Hi Mike. There's still one trick to try. Install pup to usb. boot/login to windows. Plug in usb. Under M$ system settings, choose rebuild from usb (or the equivalent). Ok or yes and M$ will properly/safely hybernate itself and restart. This should bring up the pup (or whatever) bootmenu and you'll b...

Interesting because KDE partnered with google a few years back and then kde took over development of qupzilla (qt5) browser development to come up with falkon.
