Try a sort of this menu entry in grub4dos (change to adapt to your case):

Code: Select all

title Puppy bionic beaver 18.05+10 (sdb1/ubbpup)
  uuid xxxyyyyzzzz
  kernel /ubbpup/vmlinuz net.ifnames=0 psubdir=ubbpup pmedia=usbhd pfix=fsck
  initrd /ubbpup/initrd.gz
Note the boot option net.ifnames=0.

How to get your Bionicpup 32 looking like a classic puppy desktop
Follow the screen capture pics and information in the pics "Description" box.
I prefer the old style desktop arrangement, here is a quick way to get it back.

After changing the desktop you may want to do this
After changing to the "Original Pup" desktop theme there will be a "places" icon in the top-right corner of the screen. See last bottom pic posted below.
This post shows how to get rid of that "places" icon.

Hi peebee,

is it possible to have a recent kernel (kernel 4.17.0 ) like your LxPupSc64-18.06 for UPup Bionic Beaver (upupbb)

Sorry for my demand i did not really know how much work it provide to make a new kernel for puppy :roll:

Short answer is - yes.

If your hardware is 64-bit capable then use the kernel you will find in:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lxpup/ ... /interims/
which is 4.18.3 as of today....

Switching Kernels

@ jplt_bis,

And you want us to chew your food, also. :shock:

1. Download the huge-4.18.3-lxpup64.tar.bz2 from the link peebee provided.
2. Right-click it. Select one of the extraction applications such as UExtract or pArchive. Extracted you'll find two files. Right-click vmlinux-4.1.8.3-lxpup64, select rename and rename it just vmlinux. Open a 2nd file-manager window to your upup66 folder and look at the full name given to zdrv_upupbb_xxx.sfs. In the other window, right-click the extracted file kernel_modules.sfs-4.18.3-lxpup64 and rename it to be exactly that of the zdrv_upupbb_xxx.sfs.
3. Right-click an empty space in your upupbb folder. Select New>directory and give it a name, like Old_Kernel. Drag the current vmlinuz and zdrv_upupbb_xxx.sfs into that folder and select move. [The purpose of this step is to enable reversion to the old kernel should you want/have to].
4. Drag the vmlinuz and newly renamed zdrv_upupbb_xxx.sfs into your upupbb folder.
5. Reboot. You'll now be running upupbb with a new kernel and all the applications you installed.
6. The above takes less than 5 minutes and is much faster than having to start building your upupbb from scratch.

Although upupbb is a 32-bit system and the kernel you downloaded can be used in 64-bit systems, it can also be used in 32-bit systems. However, kernels built exclusively for 32-bit systems can not be used in 64-bit systems. My layman's understanding: The code at the machine level on a 64-bit system are 64 bits long. instructions consist of one 32-bit word joined to a 2nd 32-bit word. 64-bit systems read this as one word. A 32-bit system can't read the 2nd-half of that word and ignores the second half.

Afterthought: The above may not work if your computer is a "true nopae", that is its CPU doesn't just have pae turned off by default. Pae is an instruction set enabling a 32-bit system to access more than "4" Gbs of RAM (actually about 3.9 Gbs). As far back at the Pentium-Ms, some computers had the instruction set, but it was turned off by default: It works CPU a little harder and manufacturers of computers that old figured you didn't have more than 4 Gbs of RAM so why waste the resources you do have. To turn it on, add forcepae to your boot arguments: e.g.

kernel /upupbb/vmlinuz pmedia=ataflash psubdir=upupbb forcepae pfix=fsck

But if your computer is a "true nopae", it probably can't run upupbb anyway.

I'm running just that, upupbb 18.05 +11 with a fairly heavily modified savefile (pcmanfm and pup-trashcan integrated etc.) and the 4.18.3 64b kernel referenced. Takes far longer to read than to do :) Usually when I update/swap a kernel on an existing install, I also do the following in the savefile before booting into it (not in the active savefile!), either from another pup or by making a copy of the exixting savefile, renaming it to reflect the new version and or kernel and choosing it on reboot:

delete /lib/modules. delete /etc/modules. delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf. If a slackwarepup, delete /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. And finally delete /var/local/xorg_udev.

None is essential but it prevents carrying multiple kernels in the savefile and port relabeling in the slackware based pups, and forces a clean boot.

Hi jplt_bis,

You'll need some application which will enable you to switch into dwm. I've never figured out how to build one even after I've examined the 'switcher-apps' built into alternate Window manager pets like FbBox and Openbox-plus.

Maybe send an email to musher0. IIRC, he's posted several alternate Window-Managers on the Additional Software Section>Desktop.
