Hi peebee... wow, you are right on the trigger for new stuff!!!

Quick question about UPupEE-19.10-PR1... What kernel will it be using? I'm getting a kernel panic with this first download so I'm thinking it might be to new for my old hp dual-core and thus probably lots of other older boxes ?

both as a pristine grub4dos install to the experimental directory on my fat32 boot partition on the SSD, and using a very scrubbed upupdd savefile in that partition.

Both boot and run cleanly with 1% CPU use and 98MB memory use at idle (lxtask numbers). Nothing new seen in Dmesg failures or warnings and video FPS is exceptional.

Early loading of microcode fails with the stock kernel (32b 4.14.141) and mitigation on the 2nd gen i5 is:

Code: Select all

l1tf:Mitigation: PTE Inversion
mds:Vulnerable: Clear CPU buffers attempted, no microcode; SMT vulnerable
meltdown:Vulnerable
spec_store_bypass:Vulnerable
swapgs barriers and __user pointer sanitization
spectre_v2:Mitigation: Full generic retpoline, STIBP: disabled, RSB filling

Memory and SDD throughput is good on this i5 based laptop, matching upupcc, upupdd and LxPupSc and LxPupSc64. Roughly double that in the BB series pups.

Running Sylpheed and SlimJet 23.0.11.0 RUN-AS-SPOT well under the scrubbed and 'updated' upupdd savefile. As usual, all profiles symlinked to my EXT2 data partition. That savefile also has my pcmanfm and trash integration as I have run in upupaa,bb,cc, and dd. Working well so far in this pup also.

So far, no reason not to run it as daily here. If the 32b non-mitigation bothers me I'll toss the current 64b kernel (5.2.14) at it.

Nothing multimedia tried yet other than a simple soundcheck...

Ohya, just did a mid-post lidsuspend. Flawless!

Thanks

G'day peebee,

A manual frugal of the pre-release Eoan Ermine Pup has no problems with printing & scanning, networking, graphics (Gimp), and other applications running from an sfs of links back to a boot-mounted data partition that holds the full programs.

I guess you'll start a new thread for this Ermine-based Pup once Ermine is released.

Thanks again,

David S.

Mplayer from disco dingo works in prerelease of eoan ermine with the symlink libvpx.so.5 to libvpx.so.6. The built-in mplayer does not work for me.

[peebee]

The built-in mplayer does not work for me.

That's odd - works fine for me - what are you trying to play? Are there any errors if you run in a terminal??

MPlayer interrupted by signal 4 in module: open_stream
- MPlayer crashed by an 'Illegal Instruction'.
  It usually happens when you run it on a CPU different than the one it was
  compiled/optimized for.
  Verify this!
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
  Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
  disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
  It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
  gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
  DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
  won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.

[OscarTalks]

As discussed in the thread which watchdog linked, I would recommend compiling MPlayer with --enable-runtime-cpudetection as this makes it more likely to work in a wider range of hardware.

If there is a petbuild recipe involved and someone is in a position to amend it I would suggest that it would be beneficial to do so.

[peebee]

@watchdog @OscarTalks

MPlayer - my bad - sorry - wrong local petbuild used - now fixed in PR1->PR6 delta.

@sszindian - kernel - 4.14 in pre-release - could use 4.9 as per upupdd for release.....

The video plays but there is a warning about libvdpau_va_gl. Installing it and its dependency breaks mplayer. Using mplayer from disco dingo compiled on my machine and libvdpau_va_gl there are not warnings and the video plays flawlessly. My odd hardware does not like much mplayer

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 4.9.+ kernel would be great peebee unless it messes things up for others, I wouldn't want that to happen. (Came to puppy awhile back because it supported my old computer... Will stay with puppy as long as it continues to do so.)

I just got the PR6 delta, generated new iso, put essential files in directory, booted without save directory.

Got same results as darry19662018

----------

Oh, rebooted into dingo with pfix=ram.

Again got the messages like he did.


Thank you,

What are you trying to achieve by running that component of PPM stand-alone??

If you want to check the system for missing dependencies run:

Code: Select all

checkdeps -system

Does PPM work as expected?

Thanks

peebee, sorry if I said something unclear: I was not trying to achieve.

I'm just a casual user.

I saw the post by darry19662018, and wanted to see what happened on my system.

So far, I did the

Code: Select all

checkdeps -system

.

Looks like it worked OK.

I'll try PPM soon.

Thanks,

Feature works in busterpup - I have always clicked deps in a package and I see it is now in pupcontrol panel - Just expected it would it work.
