I have a copy of xenialpup64-7084, which has the bug (7085 is fixed).

So I used PeasyDisc to remaster the ISO. I replaced all the isolinux-related stuff with the files from an older Puppy ISO.

It worked, but you don't get the original boot menu.

Since there aren't any settings I need to keep, I'll just replace the isolinux files in a virgin ISO instead of remastering.

Although I haven't experienced the "Failed to load ldlinux.c32" error, I'm reading all the threads in the hope that one of them will trigger a worthwhile thought. Thanks for pur help.

I managed to produce a "xenialpup-7.0.8.1-uefi-g.iso" that does boot in either uefi or non-uefi modes.
But it's 319MiB, so I'm reluctant to spend the time to upload it, unless someone really needs it.

Note: The original "xenialpup-7.0.8.1-uefi.iso" file is good as a source for installing, it just won't actually boot when burnt to a CD/DVD.

I run Precise Puppies , waiting for a final (and working) Xenial version).

XenialDog works well, but without drivers to allow you to work outside with your laptops. At home, its perfect but i can link with ethernet, no need of wireless (no children or wife using Linux)

And if our devs would not wish final release, only alpha or beta for training purpose...

Xenial offers few improvements compared with Precise, but miss all libs MPEG needed for most of pets created for multimedia..
All pets from PPM are now Debian. So i understand that devs make efforts towards Debian, however Debian never was a leader in innovation.

Just an opinion. Please keep acting for Xenialpup. I sincerely wait for a working version.

Hi,

I really enjoy XenialPup. But when I boot the cd without efi, I get "Failed to load ldlinux.c32 Boot failed: press a key to retry"

How can I make cd booting work the usual way?

Thanks

Hi Chili Dog
You find something here:

Another idea, along the same line: can you not set your bios to legacy boot from CD?
And a question: is it not easier to install frugally on your hdd? why a CD?

Chili Dog · #447 Post by **Chili Dog** » Thu 24 Aug 2017, 01:08

I went back and read a few pages worth of posts, and after seeing others having the same problem, I followed someone's suggestion and replaced isolinux.bin on the cd with the one from the latest Slacko (6.9.9.9-uefi).

That gave me a different error, so I replaced the vesamenu.c32 file with the Slacko one. And it works.

Well done and thanks for the info, Chili Dog.

It would be a courtesy of you to share your iso if 666philb delays the final release. I have wasted three virgin cd's in the effort to produce your achievement.

The main problem with xenialpup, once booted is that soon or later, it stops working.. I suppose that is due to kernels. So waiting for a final release, i use XenialDog. Light and fast. Some new apps running without having to compile anything.
Most of your new kernels will not connect Wireless (2017), making computer look as old Grand-papa telephones

For final release, don't wait for the best, we wait for posting comments, perhaps users don't care about some details as splash at boot. But kernel freezing sure they won't pass through

Why does Peebee's LxXenialpup boot from the cd and install frugally to a hard drive and 666Philb's doesn't when it's based on 666Philb's Xenialpup?

bigpup · #452 Post by **bigpup** » Sun 17 Sep 2017, 04:55

Are you trying to use the Puppy Universal Installer to do the frugal install?

That will be really appreciated. Currently I am running tahrpup no pae build from a USB drive (hard drive died a few years ago) on a Pentium M machine that doesn't support UEFI. Eagerly waiting for your ISO

Hi n00b-pup,

No need to wait.

All Puppies will boot on "older" computers which don't use the UEFI boot mechanism. Those Puppies whose ISO names contain "uefi" have included the signatures that are required IF the computer has the UEFI mechanism. On computers without it, it will just be ignored.

still on explaining how to install... madre de dios.. (damned !)
I am improving understanding English speech, because written is not spoken. One tool is Reverso, but only for short sentences. Google traduction will speak longer speeches. My goal is to record, to learn many times how to pronounce.
Recording tools : here we are
Precord is simply the daily tool to use
Bacon recorder has no pause, coming soon, on development
Mwavedit is more fore editing than for recording, but it can do it.
My message is for underlining that pRecord must be included in all puppies.
I hope my puppils will learn faster English than our Puppy users learn how to install

precord is ... installed.

Thank you for the info Mikeslr, downloading the ISO right now. Can't "wait" for the download to finish

The current xenialpup-7.0.8.1-uefi.iso can't be burned to a cd because of an unresolved bug of syslinux. The iso file can only be used for a frugal install on hd or for being installed on usb.

Hi,
I ran into the same problem. Luckily I was able fix this by partitioning my USB drive.

To solve the issue create two partition on your USB drive, one for booting your iso and one for your data/puppy-save file. First partition MUST be less than 2GB, you will be booting your puppy from this partition. Now make your USB drive bootable and you will be good to go.

I used unetbootin on windows to make bootable USB drive. Rufus and UUI deleted my newly created partitions I would suggest you to use unetbootin.

After many attempts I succeeded to build a remastered iso named xenialpup-7081-uefi-w.iso which I can burn and boot on my laptop. I installed syslinux from slackware 14.1 and copied to the iso isolinux.bin and vesamenu.c32 from slacko 6.3.2. I haven't a uefi machine to test the uefi boot but bios is ok. I share it.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9iMb4 ... sp=sharing

Code: Select all

root# md5sum /mnt/sda1/xenialpup-7081-uefi-w.iso
1d58d0abfb47cdf72ae35dd383cd6b0b  /mnt/sda1/xenialpup-7081-uefi-w.iso

EDIT: file iso has been reuploaded. I beg your pardon.

peebee · #460 Post by **peebee** » Tue 03 Oct 2017, 15:19

If anyone would like to help with ZestyPup - please send me a PM for a link to the .iso.....

There are 3 problems I need to solve before wider exposure....

- up-arrow key being interpreted as printscreen (keypad "8" with num-lock off is up-arrow)

- PPM uninstall has to be set to "Classic step by step" otherwise doesn't work

- (less important) windows buttons not maccish on 1st boot - change correctly if theme is changed to something else and then back to Zesty

Cheers
