#1301 Post by Sailor Enceladus »

I noticed that the latest version of file (5.34) doesn't strip as many libraries as an older version (5.11) in woof-CE, because it calls some of them "pie executable" instead of "shared object". Not sure how many puppies this affects or in what version of file this change started (I noticed this in slacko 14.0, when it was about 5MB larger uncompressed building using file-5.34).

The code where woof-CE looks for "shared object" is here: https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/w ... ro-Z#L1303

I think it looks for the string "shared object" specifically in two other places in ./3builddistro-Z too and one place looks for only for LSB executable and shared object, so those codes might be ignored sometimes using the newer version of file too.

@01micko

Is the date of the documentation file auto updated in each woof-CE build or are you preparing to do a new release? (I hope) :)

-----------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to Slacko Puppy version 6.9.9.9, released Aug 2018! : (help screen of my master branch build)
-----------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE READ: Release Notes for Slacko Puppy 6.9.9.9

Slacko Puppy help
All Slacko Puppy's local documentation is in HTML or plain text format and located in /usr/share/doc. This page is the master index.

Slacko Puppy-specific help

HOWTO get onto the Internet (dial-up your ISP)
HOWTO view and edit Microsoft documents
HOWTO write programs for Slacko Puppy
HOWTO multimedia (work with graphics, sound, video)
HOWTO regular expressions (what they are, how to use)
HOWTO fatten Slacko Puppy (add-on fonts, plugins, spellchecking)
HOWTO print with Samba and CUPS
HOWTO use the Puppy Package Manager
HOWTO Internationalization (support non-English languages)
About root (administrator), spot and fido

Note that although Slacko Puppy has Busybox, which is a very small toolkit of utility applications, in some cases they do not have the required functionality and are replaced by the full versions. These replacements include: modprobe, cat, cp, gzip, gunzip, losetup, ls, mkdir, mv, rm, sed, sort, tar, wget, date, find, grep, fgrep and egrep.

Note that Slacko Puppy applications are open source and under various GPL licences, however there are a few exceptions.

Planmaker Free Edition (spreadsheet editor) and Textmaker Free Edition (wordprocessor) are PET packages. The licence document is included in the packages. We need to be able to open and edit Excel-format spreadsheets, which Planmaker does admirably, and the Free Edition is just that, free, no embedded adverts, no usage restrictions (except for a limited maximum size that can be edited). I would like to do the right thing by the developer, Softmaker Software, though, and recommend that you consider the full edition if Planmaker is to be used for serious commercial purposes.

Some releases of Puppy have the Opera web browser, which is closed source but free.

Adobe Flash Player
Some releases of Puppy include the Macromedia Flash plugin for the web browser. This is closed source but free. The distribution licence requires that I include the logo and a link to the Macromedia site.

I, Barry Kauler, established the 'Puppy Linux Project' in January 2003, first website and product release 18-June-2003, and I have trademark claim to the name and typed drawing of 'Puppy Linux', 'PuppyOS' and 'Puppy' as it relates to "computer operating system software to facilitate computer use and operation", under Federal and International Common Law and Trademark Laws as appropriate.

I did a build using an old kernel for an older computer and installed
it to a 32GB flash drive.

Puppy specific version of ROX-Filer in testing branch

#1306 Post by woodenshoe-wi »

The testing branch of woof-CE is currently using a new fork of ROX-Filer.

See http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=114169

Among the changes are:
  • - Support for "copy/cut to clipboard" and "paste from clipboard" has been added. This means the old "Copy" menu item has been renamed to "Duplicate" and the key-binding changed from Ctrl+C to Ctrl+D. The key-binding for "Delete" has been changed from Ctrl+X to the "Delete" key.

    - When dragging .desktop files to the pinboard (desktop), the "Name" field of the .desktop file is used as the default label instead of the filename.

    - The "Move" functionality has been changed to allow merging with any existing directories with the same names.

    - "Merge" and "Ignore Older" checkboxes have been added to the "Copy" and "Move" dialogs, defaults can be changed in 'Options...'->'Action windows' if you don't want to tick the box every time.

    - When a directory is missing/deleted the window will be automatically closed immediately, but this can be changed in 'Options...'->'Filer windows' if you don't like it.

    - In list view mode (Show extra details) items can only be dragged by clicking in the icon and name columns. All other columns will start a selection box, which should make selecting files in list view mode easier.

    - It is now configurable in 'Options...'->'Filer windows'->'List View' which columns are visible in list view mode.

    - A "New" button (the blue plus) has been added to the toolbar. Left click creates a new directory, middle click creates a new blank file and right click opens the "New" menu.
If you are making any releases from the testing branch, please mention these changes in the release notes.

UPDATED: 30 sep 2018

VERY EXPERIMENTAL
USE WITH CAUTION


UPupCC-18.09Alpha1 md5=3a3fda0a7fb7a23251c94cf8cbd425c7

Delta to alpha7 - iso:md5=4269aa4aa10bb606ec793162d1e1a5a5

Based on a SNAPSHOT of Ubuntu Cosmic Cuttlefish (18.10) as of 30/sep/18.

Built to test woof-ce testing branch:
BUILD_FROM_WOOF='testing;f4e1eaea;2018-09-30 05:04:17 +0000'

32bit-pae kernel 4.9.124

New Rox with changed User Interface as posted above.

ffmpeg, mplayer and htop had to be rebuilt.

Things that likely won't work: samba-regedit, syslinux, caca(?), scanning(?)

Cosmic Cuttlefish is still under active development so use caution when installing any apps from the repos.

Installed and tested in the 'experimental' directory and spirit on:

Info: Processes: 200 Uptime: 1:24 Memory: 200.2/4881.5MB Client: Shell (bash) inxi: 2.3.40

Standard SSD based Grub4Dos frugal install, first pristine, then creating 256Mb EXT2 savefile, then playing with themes, panels, adding in my pcmanfm integration mods as in artful and bionic pups, then symlinking sylpheed and slimjet profiles to the EXT2 data drive and loading slimjet 18.05 run-as-spot from SFS.

Persistence good, video res and FPS good, sound good, SNS connection normal, Haven't set up printing or added in anything not from local pets.

Dmesg really quite clean. Pretty much the only failure or warning I haven't seen before or expect on this hardware is:

aufs au_new_inode:466:bash[11389]: Warning: Un-notified UDBA or repeatedly renamed dir, b1, ext4, Xorg.0.log, hi199, i17710.


Mitigation as expected on the i5 with a 32b kernel:

l1tf : Mitigation : PTE Inversion
meltdown : Vulnerable
spec_store_bypass : Vulnerable
spectre_v1 : Mitigation : __user pointer sanitization
spectre_v2 : Mitigation : Full generic retpoline

Using the powersave governor on the intel_pstate driver for now.

The only blowup I've had is a familiar one. Got tray2 all set up, then changed the global theme and switched it back to the stock one. Tray 2 setup reverts to the stock one with no backup.

Sylpheed fine, posting from the 18.0.5.0 run-as-spot SFS based slimjet (still!, I rolled a 20.0.1 slimjet SFS and it still awsnaps on my weather site so...)

Rox with the improvements is better but I for one still prefer muffins, oops PCManFM.

Edit: Lidsuspend ok OOTB on this hardware. Brightness buttons on the Fujitsu also work OOTB, but like bionic IIRC and possibly artful, only until the first lidsuspend. Just an oddity here as I Run this laptop at full brightness (boots at that) or use redshiftgui.

Edit1: I set puppy eventmanager save time to 0 with tickbox checked as I usually do. The usual dialog box appears at shutdown. It works, but is 'deformed', at least on this hardware.

Edit2: 64b 4.18.5 kernel swapped in. CPU idle unchanged at 1%, video frame rate unchanged, dmesg warnings unchanged -basically clean-, Mitigation as expected on the i5:

l1tf : Mitigation : PTE Inversion
meltdown : Mitigation : PTI
spec_store_bypass : Vulnerable
spectre_v1 : Mitigation : __user pointer sanitization
spectre_v2 : Mitigation : Full generic retpoline

Cheers,

Pups currently in kennel :D Older LxPupSc and X-slacko-4.4 for my users; LxPupSc, LxPupSc64 and upupEF for me. All good pups indeed, and all running savefiles for look'n'feel only. Browsers, etc. solely from SFS.

Built a slacko64 using woof testing on 9-8-18. Used kernel 4.4.154 and have encountered three problems.

1. After using ptheme the drive icons at the bottom of the screeen are gone. Bringing up puppy event manager caused the CD burner to spin up and it sounded like it was being continually probed until I clicked the ok button. Checking the refresh/realign existing icons button brought the icons back, but using ptheme again would cause them to disappear.

2. Did a full install to the hard drive, selecting no intitrd. After installing grub4dos and looking in menu.lst, /boot/sda1 is commented out and the initrd is not. Rebooting was successful and everything appears to be working.

3. During the install of devx, after typing

Code: Select all

cp -a -f --remove-destination * /
the command line displayed

Code: Select all

cp:  cannot overwrite non-directory '/usr/lib64/modules' with directory 'usr/lib64/modules'
Devx appeared to install and gcc is present, but I have not tried to compile anything yet.

indeed sometimes they are gone sometimes they come back.
Solution: after change of theme please restart X-server.

Both the pristine and the update went smoothly on this middle-aged i5. SNS connect, video performance, sound all good. CPU % and mem use at idle reported by LxTask unchanged at 1% and 116Mb, excellent. The intel_pstate/powersave governor used and working well. Dmesg is cleaner with only "Process '/sbin/pup_event_backend_modprobe' failed with exit code 1" still present. USB drive recognition on insert is working correctly. Mitigation continues as expected for the 32b kernel:

l1tf : Mitigation : PTE Inversion
meltdown : Vulnerable
spec_store_bypass : Vulnerable
spectre_v1 : Mitigation : __user pointer sanitization
spectre_v2 : Mitigation : Full generic retpoline

The problem with the improperly displayed save dialog box on shutdown seen in upupcc alpha1 (eventmanager set to 0 and ask at shutdown) is resolved.

Running the update now (my pcmanfm & trash integration) with Sylpheed and Slimjet-as-spot profiles on the EXT2 data drive now. No CD or DVD tests as yet.

Thanks,

Edit: Also perfectly happy on a core 2 duo Fujitsu S6520 laptop. The only thing I am doing differently from the i5 install is to add intel_pstate=disable in the Grub4Dos menu.lst item and use the acpi_cpufreq driver and the conservative governor. Both work but on this older hardware the conservative governor seems to do a better job of fan control. Slimjet 20.0.4.0 run-as-spot is fine here also. Surprisingly smooth and functional overall.

Pups currently in kennel :D Older LxPupSc and X-slacko-4.4 for my users; LxPupSc, LxPupSc64 and upupEF for me. All good pups indeed, and all running savefiles for look'n'feel only. Browsers, etc. solely from SFS.

To woofever could be interested..
please acknowledge the neophyte to woof or kernel compiling i am and,sorry,will probably stay...
havin fun testing distros ,lots of the newer puppys on a nice motion r12,but very badly reassembled tablet(fixed bended tiny 0.2mm pitch pins on fpc connector ..+ lots unconnected )
It got me to a long time no tried live bloated ubuntu ,1.8+gb /beaver ,
interesting,i did get a lots of devices ootb working,some that even m$-win7 wont get to after hours of devices/drivers search...
- like all 3d gyro sensor auto display rotation and auto light sensor ..lots of "hid_sensor_name it_its there" modules

Which lead me to a problem a got with newer puppys first run suggesting modules to boot early,thus creating that pup version..initmodules txt file in which I encountered that:
kernel/drivers/hid/hid-sensor-custom.ko,kernel/drivers/hid/hid-sensor-hub.ko,kernel/drivers/hid/hid-sensor-hub.ko,kernel/drivers/hid/wacom.ko
that was with bionicpup64,saw it on upupbb ,xenial too.
on reboot it mess things...(picture..cause it does not log a sh!t anywhere those...or did not find it..)
among it mess usb and xorg ...poor newcomers... could be repelling...but easily fix, it boot , after 3 min.
** ***note:trying upuccbeta look like it got it right,no repeat.
Was there something fix in woof? if it was the thing..

If curious about ubuntu live boot lsmod for that tablet ..attachment
yes it takes a lots of them to get display rotation and als on this ...
and there is workaround to those gadgets
without data hungry modules.

Hi Billtoo

FF needs GTK+3, apulse (or pulseaudio) and preference tweaks these days.

There's an .sfs you could try here
ImageLxPup = Puppy + LXDE
Main version used daily: LxPupSc; Assembler of UPups, ScPup & ScPup64, LxPup, LxPupSc & LxPupSc64
