On my latest experiment, I successfully modified tazpkg to make it independent and stand alone. I was able to run tazpkg on puppy without tazpuppy or slitaz. It only requires busybox and awk for command line.

Doesn't load X on old VIA Chrome9 HC IGP integrated graphics. Haven't tested with any other VIA Chrome integrated graphics chips.

If you boot TazPuppy for the first time then do the following:

1. Login on commandline as root
2. Run the following commands

Code: Select all

cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log /root/
mkdir -p /root/xorg-conf-files
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/* /root/xorg-conf-files/

3. Put /home/tux/xorg-conf-files in a tarball
4. Shutdown tazpuppy and create a savefile
5. Boot other puppy
6. If savefile was a file then mount it otherwise enter to the save folder
7. Get the Xorg.0.log and the tarball you made at /home/tux/
8. Upload to this thread.

Thats what i have on TazPuppy and on SCpup (nouveau driver both)

[mistfire]

@Didit
nvidia-xconfig look for entry in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, however TazPuppy does not store Xorg settings at xorg.conf. Instead it uses individual files saved at /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d folder

Did you try to use ScPup kernel and zdrv files on TazPuppy?

[didit]

@Didit
Did you try to use ScPup kernel and zdrv files on TazPuppy?

no i did not, scpup kernel 5.4.46 i dont know if it matters too much

[mistfire]

@didit

Try to boot TazPuppy using ScPup kernel. Don't forget to rename ScPup zdrv file as zdrv_tazpup_5.0.sfs

Have been running Tazpuppy RC2 for 2 days now. Frugal install on Dell laptop Core i5-5200U 8 GB RAM. I used a save folder for previous install. I had previously installed firefox-official (76.0), which successfully updated yesterday to 78.0.1. I have added a LibreOffice SFS. All working withut issue.

Tazpuppy 5.0 RC2 is running very smoothly. Great work. Thanks mistfire.

yes i just tried this but nothing changed (but maybe i should use fdrv also idk)

Attached is a screenshot of the nvidia folder in an fdrv. It may contain firmware which will assist you.

If you run run from a termnal:

Code: Select all

dmesg | grep -i firmware

It may identify missing firmware, which may be in the fdrv.

Sorry, meant to write earlier, but was busy.

I tried with an old beta (58 I believe) and yes, it doesn't load X on that beta. With the latest RC2, it does load X, but the colors are all scrambled and it looks like the graphics timings are of... you get stripes, like on a bad TV channel (back in the analog TV days) and rainbow colors. Maybe a bad driver config .

I'll see if I can take a pic .
