For those having trouble booting with kernel 4.9, here's alternative (32 bit only), not ofiicial Debian though.
Extract This archive: kernel-4.4.87-i386.squashfs.tar.gz in the frugal installed 'live' directory.
Contents are vmlinuz1 (should be replaced) and kernel-4.4.87.squashfs
And it should boot with with kernel 4.4.87
Taken from OscarTalks's D-pup-Stretch (thanks!).

Now there are total 3 (three) Dog Stretch threads on this forum and countless other Debian/UbuntuDog offsprings out there. This latest Dog endeavor could have easily been consolidated into an existing thread!

AbdelAziz · #6 Post by **AbdelAziz** » Thu 12 Oct 2017, 12:56

Overall, it's a nice dog

Cool Job Fred !

You make the whole crowd happy/smile once again

.
Who could ask for more ?
Thank you !

I noticed that there was a uextract package in 32 bit section

https://fredx181.github.io/StretchDog/i ... 1_i386.deb

.... but none in 64bit section

So I made my own.
Available download...

uextract_3.30_amd64.deb

Huh??

Don570, I've been installing UExtract (just the one and only latest .pet SFR releases every so often) into both 32-bit and 64-bit for a few years. I don't get it, I've never had a problem in any 32 and/or 64 bit OS, pup, ddog, or otherwise using the one & only .pet SFR releases (and updates). What would your .pet do that I am not already getting? Jeez, I am really, really confused now because SFR explained to me long ago that it didn't matter for his UExtract pet (they install both to 32 ans 64 bit equally) since UExtract is a script.

don570 · #10 Post by **don570** » Sat 14 Oct 2017, 16:32

Yes. What I meant to say is that I installed the 64bit AMD stretch dog
and expected the packages available to be listed in 64 bit section.
Other distros get around this with a 'common' section
____________________________________________________

I liked how it played back media files. No strange artifacts and very smooth.
The audio was low when first installed, but easy enough to increase.

Some more observations.
Wacom Bamboo tablet worked at start up. There was no need for
xorg.conf file.

When I tried to install a mypaint appimage that I got from
https://travis-ci.org/mypaint/mypaint

It wouldn't run. The error mentioned that the icons were missing.
This is a common error and has been written about.

https://github.com/mypaint/mypaint/wiki ... sing-icons
______________________________________________

I tried the latest stable version of Blender 3-d graphics
https://www.blender.org/download/Blende ... 4.tar.bz2/

However It wouldn't run because openGL 2.1 isn't installed
I checked the dependencies....

Code: Select all

libGLU.so.1 => not found
	libGL.so.1 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so.1 (0x00007f09d1f88000)

_______________________________________________

pfind doesn't work very well , so I looked into why it wasn't searching the right drives.

I suggest the following change....

in the file
/usr/local/pfind/pfilesearch/pfilesearch
line 654

Code: Select all

export EXCLUDE="/mnt"

should be change to

Code: Select all

export EXCLUDE=""

_____________________________________________

To get pfind to 'Show location' which is very useful...
pfind needs the right filemanager, so I made the change
in /usr/local/pfind/func_showlocation

I changed

Code: Select all

if [ $FILEMANAGER = rox ]; then

	else
		exec $FILEMANAGER "${FILE%/*}/" 2> /tmp/pfind-error$PROGPID
	fi

to simply...

Code: Select all

exec rox -s "$FILE" 2> /tmp/pfind-error$PROGPID

Thunar could be used as well but I like rox.

Yes, forgot to add to 64-bit repo.
Added your .deb now and can be installed with Synaptic or apt-get, thanks Don570 !:
https://fredx181.github.io/StretchDog/a ... _amd64.deb
Indeed, as it's just a script it could be: uextract_3.30_all.deb, to be suitable for both/all architectures, but kept it like it is now to avoid too many changes.

EDIT:

I tried the latest stable version of Blender 3-d graphics
https://www.blender.org/download/Blende ... 4.tar.bz2/

However It wouldn't run because openGL 2.1 isn't installed

Try installing package "libgl1-mesa-dri" , see also here:

Thanks for your recommendations for pfind.

No, they don't install equally and both DDog's and don570's uextract debs are flawed as they don't comply with the Debian package building guidelines

Debian Binary Package Building HOWTO wrote:4.1. control

Let's start with the control file. The version number must have a dash with an additional Debian package version number, e.g. '1.1-1'. If your program consists e.g. only of portable shell scripts, use 'all' as its 'Architecture'.

don570 · #14 Post by **don570** » Sat 14 Oct 2017, 18:08

Yes. Poorly named.
Also I found out that official pet packages need to be carefully named.
For instance BarryK wants underscore in front of NLS like
mtpaint_NLS-3.40-1-w5c.pet

ethplorer · #15 Post by **ethplorer** » Mon 16 Oct 2017, 06:30

what should be my parameter when doing frugal install to this stretchdog?

Code: Select all

title StretchDog
root (hd0,0) <-- GRUB legacy, ex: hd1,0
uuid ed652e03-dfdg35647eswe32467348161af0
kernel /stretch/live/vmlinuz 
initrd /stretch/live/initrd.img

tried this but not working.

jss83 · #16 Post by **jss83** » Mon 16 Oct 2017, 08:15

Using stretchdog right now and it is just wonderful! I think I can safely make a shift with this. Thank you so much.

err.. spoken too soon.. ran into some trouble.

Downloaded ISO and frugally installed/booted (Porteus style, save on exit)

I tried removing user puppy from both disk and wheel groups (using deluser puppy disk; deluser puppy wheel) ... logged out and in again and it isn't a member of either of those groups ... but it can still mount partitions by clicking on the desktop drive icons.

More preferably by default user "puppy" shouldn't be able to mount partitions, so if you're running a browser as puppy and a hacker breaks out of that then any unmounted partitions are inaccessible.

How can user puppy be prevented from mounting partitions (force having to Ctrl-Alt-Fn ... login as root and mount a drive, or run sudo to mount a drive)?

EDIT : Further investigation indicates that puppy cannot mount from the cli when it isn't a member of the disk group (mounting is only possible by clicking on the desktop drive icons).

rufwoof · #18 Post by **rufwoof** » Mon 16 Oct 2017, 18:39

editing /etc/slim.conf to autlogin as puppy instead of root ... and it still defaults to logging in as root

Code: Select all

# default user, leave blank or remove this line
# for avoid pre-loading the username.
default_user        puppy

# Focus the password field on start when default_user is set
# Set to "yes" to enable this feature
#focus_password      no

# Automatically login the default user (without entering
# the password. Set to "yes" to enable this feature
auto_login          yes

Hi rufwoof

How can user puppy be prevented from mounting partitions (force having to Ctrl-Alt-Fn ... login as root and mount a drive, or run sudo to mount a drive)?

Uncomment "chpupsocket $USER:$USER &" in /home/puppy/.config/openbox/autostart

Code: Select all

# chpupsocket $USER:$USER &

(reboot required)

Btw, FYI, puppy can mount (by clicking drive icons) but has no write permissions

editing /etc/slim.conf to autlogin as puppy instead of root ... and it still defaults to logging in as root

Slim is not enabled by default, first enable from "Start Slim" button on Whisker menu or from System > Start/Stop Slim display-manager
(enabling slim will set /etc/inittab to no-auto login, and no auto startx)
Then changing /etc/slim.conf will apply after reboot

Very good job Fred

Very nice Desktop.

The first thing I noticed at start is that I need to run "reconnect" from peasyWifi to get an IP from my router the first time I enter the system. This doesn't seem as much of a problem but since it is a live CD it might matter.

rufwoof wrote:editing /etc/slim.conf to autlogin as puppy instead of root ... and it still defaults to logging in as root

For the previous release of StretchDog64 (in case Fred fix won't do it):
Maybe you have the same problem as me
While slim was running and asking me my username, in the background
/etc/profile executed startx as root (so I had the problem that while I was typing the desktp appeared ).
If this is the case you could try to comment out the "startx" entry in your /etc/profile file.

@ethplorer:

my menu.lst entry is like this :

Code: Select all

title PorteusStretchDog EXIT: changes32
find --set-root --ignore-floppies /puppy_StretchDog64/live/initrd1.xz
kernel /puppy_StretchDog64/live/vmlinuz1 from=/puppy_StretchDog64 changes=EXIT:/puppy_StretchDog64/changes32.dat 
initrd /puppy_StretchDog64/live/initrd1.xz

Btw, If anyone wants to try KODI without installing it :

kodi_libs_addon_v001d_.squashfs https://1fichier.com/?gcn37ed4h6
