After 2 weeks adjusting and testing I switched toady from my much belovered Tahrpup to the new Xenialpup. Thanx @666philb for the developement and also thanx for all the people that helped him to make this all work.
I run Xenial from a USB stick an my 2007 Medion laptop and it runs fine just like Tahr did for some 4 years? I swiched from Claws to Sypheed because it' s in dutch. I had a pet for my mx370 Canon printer so hat went fine. I have Libre Office 6.0 as SFS.
I noticed one thing. When starting up Xenial it boots the Zdrv file too. My old tharpup didn' t. What is the difference?

Hi,
Firefox57 from the quickpet works fine. But today I didn't take care and firefox have been update to 59.0.1 and no more sound on youtube and video in general.
I install again Firefox57 in a new folder and it's ok.
How to make work the 59 one ?
The problem is with apulse.
In the terminal :
Code: Select all
root# apulse /opt/firefox2/firefox

The command apulse /opt/firefox/firefox that runs firefox57 from quickpet is ok : no errors and the sound is ok.
If somebody understand what is wrong thanks for a solution.

How was Tahrpup installed?
Full or frugal?

Firefox and sound.
What a piece of junk they have made Firefox.
Probably need to do this:
Just have the apulse 0.1.11 from here installed.
Nothing else.
Make sure to use the correct bit version.
http://smokey01.com/OscarTalks/
Reboot after you install it to make sure it is saved and loaded at the correct place.
There is some newer info here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 590#985590
Like I said, Firefox constantly changes what it needs.
You may also need this:
/root/.mozilla/firefox
Look for a directory that ends in
.default
Put the user.js file in that directory.
Use Geany to make this user.js file.
This is what needs to be in it.
watchdog's code
Code: Select all
// for using apulse with latest firefox
user_pref("security.sandbox.content.write_path_whitelist", "/dev/snd/");
user_pref("security.sandbox.content.syscall_whitelist", "/dev/snd/");
user_pref("security.sandbox.content.read_path_whitelist", "/dev/snd/");
[/quote]
Build 58 requires user_pref("security.sandbox.content.syscall_whitelist", "/dev/snd/"); to be set to "16" now instead of /dev/snd/, so am currently using
Code: Select all
// for using apulse with latest firefox
user_pref("security.sandbox.content.write_path_whitelist", "/dev/snd/");
user_pref("security.sandbox.content.syscall_whitelist", "16");
user_pref("security.sandbox.content.read_path_whitelist", "/dev/snd/");

Hi,
Thanks a lot bigpup for your answer : it works fine.
As you said i took the apulse 0.1.11 .pet. I didn't install it and just put the lib in the firefox folder as said OscarTalks.
After in about:config i change the value 3 to 0 for sandbox.
Reboot and it's ok : in youtube, in 2 french TV replay that are not simple to work and in netflix. I think if it'is ok with netfliw itwill work every where.
Thanks again bigpup and OscarTalks.
And i hope the sound problems in firefox are finish : mozilla makes really bullshit with that.

Xenialpup on one of the biggest German news pages

Just stumbled upon this. It's an article about Xenialpup to revive old PCs on one of the biggest German news sites.

I have to admit it's no where near as good as it used to be. They wrecked it by bolting too much on. The old embedded videos were far better. it didn't even download unless you clicked on it. Now we're constantly bombarded by auto-playing adverts and sound. completely inefficient and useless... except for advertisers...
TO be honest i've clicked on less than 10 adverts in my life!

Saving session state

Hi all- I am loving xenial puppy but I have had one or two major disasters with state not being preserved after a reboot- I know it must be something I am doing wrong but, the thing is, I never had this problem with tahrpup.
Has anything changed in this regard between the distros?
Thanks again for a fabulous puppy.

In all puppy distributions that I have used the state is preserved in the savefile.
What i think you are saying is the puppy boots back to the original setup so that means it is not finding your savefile for some reason or the savefile is not being saved on exit for some reason.

Yes exactly. The thing is - with tahrpup, once I had set it up, it dutifully saved the state after shutdown. without me doing anything explicitly and, as I say, I have had repeated disasters with xenial
so I just was looking for any differences in this respect between the distros.

Well I chose not to use tahpup. Didn't like it but I am very happy with xenialpup64.
so I just was looking for any differences in this respect between the distros.
I dont see why there would be and mine works fine
I'm guessing your initial setup is wrong or lacking in something . I would go back and reinstall it however you did it .
xenialpup64save.4fs is my save file and it gives me no problems . The suffix depends on your ext2 ext3 or ext4 choice .
Might I recommend ext4 as one I have had zero losses for two years since i started using it.
Your savefile can be examined by looking at your home directory and if its not loaded you can open and inspect it ,not that that will tell you much except if its not loaded then you can do a check on it for errors.
Did you do something unusual in the savefile naming choice ?

How did you install it?
Frugal or full install?
What are you using for the boot loader?
If you could post the boot loader menu entry, that would help to eliminate one possible cause of problem.
Installed on what device and formated what format?
If frugal install.
When it boots and the boot process info statements are popping up. Does it say anything about the save?
Create hotspot

Hi!
How to turn it into a wireless access point?
After Ubuntu 16.04 can work so.
I myself will not do it, anyone can help.
I watched this guide:
https://pro-gram.ru/setting-access-poin ... _nat_pppoe
But I do not have a file etc/network/interfaces.
I had the packages: iw wireless-tools.
And I installed hostapd.

I tested
this system in Xenialpup-32 and it worked.
You will need to install two packages - wlanmaker and libnl1.
1. Download them.
2. Remove the fake .gz extension from the name.
3. Click-install them.
Follow the instructions. For example:
Code: Select all
wlanmaker wlan0 sancxjo woof1234 eth0
What model WiFI adapter do you have?

Thank you.
I installed the packages.
I do not have an adapter. I want to buy exactly what it will work.
Judging from this
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/use ... tc/devices
must work adapter TL-WN722N . I think to take it.
In the team, apparently, I will have usb0, since the usb-modem.
gives an error message.

Please explain. Are you getting internet into your computer through a usb modem? Is this working?
In that case, the command should be
Code: Select all
wlanmaker wlan0 sancxjo woof1234 usb0
But I have never tried this.
Xenial already has iptables built-in.
Be aware that some Xenials are missing the drivers for Atheros devices. There are special instructions somewhere for fixing this.

Yes, I connect through the USB-modem.
I understood about iptables.
About the adapter you have to think about. The distance is very small enough for me, unnecessary exposure is not necessary.
Code: Select all
wlanmaker wlan0 sancxjo woof1234 usb0
wlan0 No such device
Naturally, there is no adapter right now.

For the TL-WN722N adapter, you may need this driver PET.

And I also found a list of adapters for Ralink rt2800usb
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/use ... sb/devices
Do you need to install the TL-WN727N adapter?
