Do

pkg which /bin/dhcpd

... Pkg will tell you which package the file comes from (if any).

excellent tip sc0ttman !!

Code: Select all

#pkg which /bin/dhcpd
busybox
#pkg which /usr/sbin/dhcpcd
dhcpcd-6.6.2-april64

I did a frugal install of Bionicpup64 8.0 on an internal emmc drive.
With secure boot disabled. The uefi bios gives no option to boot from it.
With secure boot enabled. The uefi bios will see it as a bootable device, but only if there is a uefi boot loader on it.

To get a uefi boot loader installed I used the FrugalPup program.

This is what I did using FrugalPup.

hi bigpup,

the bootflash did work for me if i didn't add legacy suport at the end. but still even though the stick booted with uefi enabled it wouldn't boot if it was disabled. so i've added gyros stickpup as the default usb installer. at the moment i've hidden the frugal installer so as not to confuse new users. it can be turned on in the menu manager.

I do not think all UEFI bios are made the same.
They all seem to understand secure boot enabled or disabled the same way.
Well, maybe!

Installing to a USB was not a big issue for me.
However, to be able to even get the bios to offer the USB as a bootable device, secure boot had to be disabled or legacy boot enabled.

I wanted to install Bionicpup64 8.0 frugal to the internal drive.
Boot only using that install.
On my computer.
The internal drive is only offered as a boot device, when secure boot is enabled and legacy boot is disabled.

To get the internal drive to boot normally.
It had to have a boot loader made to work with UEFI normal setup. Secure boot enabled and legacy boot disabled.

I guess that boot loader needs to be Grub2.

The Boot loader that FrugalPup program installed for UEFI worked with no problems. I think it is Grub2.

Side note:
I did get the internal drive install of Bionicpup64 8.0 to boot using Grub4dos boot loader.
But Grub4dos boot loader was on a USB drive.
Legacy boot was enabled in the UEFI bios.
It first booted to the USB drive.
Grub4dos menu pops up.
Then menu entry for the install on the internal drive is selected.
It boots it to the desktop and runs from the internal drive.

I guess it depends on the UEFI bios in the computer.
Another computer does not have legacy boot option.
Only sees a USB device, as a bootable device, if secure boot is disabled.

Hello bigpup
A bit of elaboration...
In my bios there are two "legacy" items that affect booting:

Legacy USB support is in the normal hardware configuration pages. I think that defines whether you can access an MBR partitioned device.

CSM is in the boot options menu. I think that defines whether you can start a real mode bootloader like grub4dos

The f11 boot menu offers to boot removable media either from the MBR or from EFI in a partition, without checking that a bootable MBR or EFI is present.

An SSD connected via USB doesn't count as removable media.

I don't have a secure boot operating system, so I haven't played with that.

You are lucky.
You have a UEFI with options.

Not so here on my lenovo ideapad 510. There is really no difference between internal ssd or pendrive for booting.
I mean, it can find and execute EFI boot with or without secure boot ON from both ssd or from pendrive.
Problem with secure boot ON is, when booting from unsigned efi loaders and/or kernels it will refuse.

So I always have secure boot OFF - it will not refuse to boot from signed efi loaders and/or kernels.

- ... up till now. I will try frugalpup.

Great you add freecad 17 sfs from quickpet, but its missing mpi suite.
Quickpet should offer the app.image from freecad team .its 75mb smaller and include all libs and run from spot if needed.
find all app.image of freecad-freecadweb.org/wiki/Appimage
Get the image,change permission and you are good to go.Only drawback;you wont get it in the menu if not added manualy.

all fits nicely using the zmNinja app

I can run Skype Hexchat zoneminder zmeventnotification and firefox all at the same time and still have CPU loads under 4.0 (on a 4 core machine)

hi rockedge,

if you package this up into an sfs i'll add it to the repo

For the bug "/etc/init.d/setserial: line 177: /var/lib/setserial/autoserial.conf: No such file or directory"
you can delete /etc/init.d/setserial, it's rarely needed, it seems.

Retried FreeCAD-0.17.13541.9948ee4.glibc2.17-x86_64.AppImage and it run fine here...but ,so much modules to test!
The appimage segfaulted doing what? Not sure stable mean bug free in beefy apps like freecad.

Try to open "path" module from your sfs,its missing libmpi_cxx.so.20 .Come in libopenmpi2_2.1.1-8 which need 6 more dependencies.

After applying the bionicpup updates, the quickpet menu "OK" shows very small.

Revolverve · #736 Post by **Revolverve** » Mon 18 Mar 2019, 14:32

Switch from chromium to gg-chrome.
Update google-chrome option work but need restartx,for cache clearing or something? would adding an "in script warning" worth it ?

Firefox will not play audio in BionicPup64 8.0.
All is well in earlier versions.

Strangely enough, Fred's latest DevuanDog has the exact same issue.

bigpup · #738 Post by **bigpup** » Thu 21 Mar 2019, 03:24

What version of Firefox?
Where are you getting it to install?
Is it the Firefox offered in Quickpet?

I've attached a screenshot showing that there is no *.iso file where there should be and also a "readme.txt" file that outlines exactly what I was trying to do.

I am guessing that there is some package that creates the iso file that is missing???????
hi dancytron,

i just tried a remaster and it worked for me. is this bionicpup64-8.0? also are you using an old savefile from the betas? as there was an issue with remastering in older bionicpups.

Sorry it took so long to get back.

My bad. Apparently it didn't like how I changed the label for the CD when it asked.

If I don't change the label, it works fine.

westwest · #740 Post by **westwest** » Thu 21 Mar 2019, 04:02

So the quickpet version of Firefox has no sound issue, thanks.
Does this mean that Fred's portable version is not considered an option?
It is after all very useful.

Also, the Mouse Input problem has been fixed,
but now it seems the settings are simply not saved at all.
