Is there any way to upgrade from previous xenialpup? Or just need to download the iso and install it again.

xenialpup64-7.0.8.1-uefi.iso boots in qemu with UEFI option. A small issue: while the system is early loading, qemu displays a black screen with just this message "system hasn't inizialized video (yet)". Then after about 20 seconds, the normal boot console log starts showing until the system is fully booted to graphics.

it's probably missing firmware.
you could try grabbing the firmware.sfs from here http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=97276, renaming it to adrv_xenialpup_7.0.8.1.sfs and putting in the same place the main puppy.sfs & zdrv.sfs are.

have a look through /var/log/messages to see what happened during the boot process.

Xenialpup64 7.0.8.1 frugal on USB flash.
The screen seems to go black about the time it is switching to using the nouveau driver.
I am posting this from Tahrpup 6.0.6 running on the same computer.
It boots with no problem.
Note:
That added firmware did help on Tahrpup 6.0.6 to get the wifi working on it.
Needed the rtl8821ae driver.
Got Xenialpup64 7.0.8.1 to boot using the Vesa driver.

Tried with just the boot option

Tried using both.
Only thing that works is booting with added boot option:
Code: Select all
nouveau.modeset=0
Is Xenialpup using a different Nouveau driver?
Maybe could be that
Or different Xorg
Maybe a setting in the Kernel
Are we having fun yet?

Also wondering why this is happening.
Changed the refresh rate in menu->Setup->Xorg Video Wizard->Screen Resolution (Xorg.conf) and it says it changed.
However I get this output in Pup-Sysinfo

Tried the 4.9.15 kernel in Xenialpup64 7.0.8.1
No help.
Still had to use nouveau.modeset=0 to get it to boot to desktop.
Pup_Sysinfo
I am having fun are you?▶—— Linux Kernel ——◀
Kernel Release: 4.9.15
Build Date: Fri Mar 17 15:54:36 GMT 2017
OS Support: GNU/Linux
Architecture: x86_64
SMP Enabled: Yes
This had no affect on the resolution settings.
Still shows the same Pup-Sysinfo.
This could be the monitor telling something it can not use the 1366X768 resolution, but it is suppose to be able to.
Well, the native resolution is 1360x768.
It may be detecting that, so it will not let 1366x768 work.
Graphics hardware, resolution settings, seems to have turned into a black art.
What should work seems to never work.

Booting from a external hard drive. I get a black screen then X failed. Enter in text mode, the advice from the terminal was execute the Xorgwizard.
After executed it and trying to execute the X server, still fail.
The xorg log says:

Sorry for my english
any advice?
Edit
The X server work now, just executing xorgwizard and select the 2nd option "modesetting" I think. Then just execute in terminal Xwin and the dekstop appear.
After executed it and trying to execute the X server, still fail.
