I think that's what I'll do.
I really liked using Lupu, but hey-ho, that's how it goes I guess.
"Onward and upward!" :D
My needs/wants are simple.
214X on this older computer, Lucid Puppy 5.2.8-005 on others.
That should last the rest of my life.

On the same computer it should I agree. Sylvander got a new computer and Lucid did not work, so no help but go on to Slacko. Wishing you a long life--so I can see Lucid still used in 2050 ;-)

Regarding the working of Lupu with recently MANUFACTURED PCs.

I think we found at the very beginning of the introduction of Intel I-core generation 2 PCs (Sandy Bridge?) that Lupu does not boot with the inbuilt Intel graphics. I seem to remember at the time that I said I was OK cos my latest PC is I-core generation 1!

It would seem from what is said here that I-core V2 with a separate Nvidia graphics card is OK, so it is just the all Intel case that is a problem.

I still love Lupu and will use it as long as I can where I can. I recently trialled Slacko 5.3.3 on my more ancient Laptop and was disappointed to find that the settings for the touchpad are still not set up to be as easy to get a touchpad working as it is in Lupu. I reported the problem and solution in earlier versions - easy to solve - nothing done.

Which computers do/don't work with LuPu

Good morning, ICPUG.

Hm, I will try to find out what my newer computers use.

I think the oldest may be the Dell Latitude D610 laptop - it has some kind of on-board Intel graphics. Oh, just remembered; it has a Centrino? processor?

And also the Dell 8300 desktop may have built-in Intel graphics; not sure at the moment whether I have a separate graphics card in it.

The Acer Aspire One netbook from a few years ago has an Atom N270 processor, and Intel graphics.

Lucid Puppy 5.2.8 works all all of them.

Here's my new PC with the ASRock H61M-S mobo on which lupu-528.005 won't load.

It does indeed have a Sandybridge processor with "Integrated Intel HD Graphics".

I wonder what would happen if you tried to boot with option puppy pfix=nox.
Run Xorgwizard to use the Vesa graphics driver.

I am not 100% positive, but I think the big problem with the Intel graphics, built into the processor, is just a needed Linux driver that supports it.
Could also be an issue with the Linux kernel support.
I can say for sure, that a Intel i7 2600K Sandy Bridge, will run Lucid 528.005, if you do not use the processor on chip graphics, but use a separate graphics card.
I have not tried to do it using the on processor graphics, but it seems to be industry standard to support Vesa standards, with any graphics chip.
Seems to me, logic would say, the on processor graphics would support Vesa? What driver runs the graphics before X-server starts?

I had a similar problem trying to boot fatdog64-

Intel i5-2410m processor

Jamesbond told me to try booting with using nomodeset This worked great. Booted straight to desktop

Don't if this would help in your situation but worth a try

option puppy pfix=nomodeset

The location is where I go to do nothing.
The only problem with doing nothing is that I never know when I am finished.

To bigpup and majorfoo:

Tried both commands:
puppy pfix=nomodeset
And...
puppy pfix=nox
Both produced the identical result, which was...
The sfs file could not be found, so loading halted. :(

Thanks for trying.
This old Puppy may just not want to play with your new toys.

If you want to keep trying.
Saw a post talking about similar issue and it suggested, may be issue with support for your CD/DVD drive. It suggested boot with a USB flash drive install of Lucid.
Or do this suggested by rcrsn51:
1. Get a flash drive and copy the core Puppy files from the CD to the drive.

2. Boot off the CD with the flash drive plugged in.

3. At the short initial pause, type

Code: Select all

puppy pmedia=usbflash
May still need to use other boot options suggested.

SUCCESS! :D
...Of sorts.

1. I'm posting this from lupu-528.005 [a version with pmedia=ataflash applied in the ISO].

2. Was too slow/inattentive to apply pmedia=usbflash, and...
It booted straight into the desktop. :D
So...

3. I copied a stored lupusave.3fs file to sit beside all the others on the Flash Drive...
Then...
Rebooted.
And...

4. Got my old familiar desktop and environment. 8)

5. Odd thing though...
Only the filesystem, on the FAT32 partition, on the USB Flash Drive, shows on the desktop.
i.e. NONE of the filesystems on the internal SATA HDD, nor the CD-RW disk in the SATA DVD-RW drive.
Any idea why?
Pmount also sees/shows only the USB Flash Drive partition->filesystem.
Same with GParted.

I may be wrong but I just wonder if some of your current booting problems could have something to do with your Motherboard using UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface).
Worth reading up on and something that could cause future problems for Linux users.

Could try this, but not sure why or if it would work. Not sure why you would need to.
If you open the preferences tab in pmount
tick the box:
tick box to use mut

Did that, but it made no difference. :(
Tried saving the change, and rebooted, but still no difference.
The change was remaining in place OK.
I eventually put it back the way it had been originally.
By-the-way...
I notice that when I click "Menu->Filesystem->Pmount", a yellow dialog flashes for a fraction of a second, then the Pmount dialog appears [not added on top, but instead].

Thanks for your help, it's appreciated. :D

That yellow dialog is normal.
please wait probing hardware.
(on a slow computer you can read it)

Maybe Three headed Dog would work better. It has a newer kernel.
Still Lucid 528.

Not sure if an old save file from normal Lucid 528 would work OK with Three Headed Dog, but I think I remember someone doing it and it worked.
