Hi backi, that's strange, suspend works OK for me on Stretch, any error message ? when you type in terminal:

Code: Select all

pm-suspend

Hi All,

Here's what I've been working on for a Stretch 32 and 64 bit version:
This a fork of DebianDog.
- The 32-bit version is build from scratch from a full install using netinstall ISO
- The 64-bit version is almost identical to what dancytron shared here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 812#958812

Surprised no-one has started a separate Debian Dog Stretch thread yet. Thought you might find some useful info here, or use this to build an alternative Openbox-based Debian Stretch:

https://github.com/matthewhartman/debian-setup

On the same guys github you can find a good web-development system.

I'm using Arch with Openbox as my preferred main system, since I'm not so familiar with Debian and I find Arch a bit lighter (though maybe cos I don't know my way around Debian configuration). I have though recently tried out DD Xenialdog, and I like it.

Hi Dancytron,

Don't know if you still plan to make a chrome-stretch64 version.
But anyway some info and tips:
- I upgraded some packages in the Stretchdog64 custom repository, e.g. gsu, quick-remaster (the GUI has checkbox now for to create ISO and there's Menu > System > 'Make ISO from frugal install') and added a few packages e.g. txt2svg (by vovchik), ng-firewall (by 01micko?), peasyfwmon (by rcrsn51) and some more (to sync a little with 32-bit Stretchdog repo).
- To keep the size of the ISO smaller you can remove the contents of /usr/share/locale/ (I can make separate locale squashfs later).

I will probably open a new thread for Stretchdog later, at the moment I'm working on a Stretch version with the Trinity Desktop (will open new thread for that probably very soon).

I do still plan on making Chrome remaster, but it will be a couple of weeks until I get around to it.

I did see the upgrades come through and saw the new option in the quick remaster (although I didn't try it).

I've had Chrome freeze a few times, but I think it is a bad website/Chrome problem as far as I can tell.

ooooh, you tease!!!

Was there ever a devx posted for DD-Stretch?

Hi rcrsn51,

I'm happy that you've taken an interest in "The Debian Dogs". I'm sure they will benefit from the experience and technical expertise you brought and applied to Puppies.

But I suspect that as mere 'passengers', such as myself, have a learning curve figuring out how to best make use of the tools included in 'the Dogs', there may be some adjustments for those who can create applications.

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, 'the Dogs' don't have devxs. Rather, I think, using either apt or synaptic, you'd have to install the same applications that you would install if you were trying to create under a "Full Install" Ubuntu or debian; or use the Apt2SFS tool to create an SFS of those applications rather than install them.

Actually the dogs do have devxs - just like in Puppy - for compiling and so on.

So where are they?

I think they are on first page of this topic

Maybe Fred hasn't yet provided the devx for Stretch since it's so new. For other dogs the devx are usually linked to in first posts of their threads.

[rcrsn51]

Thanks for sharing, but:

You seem to be 'a touch' pompous, but never mind. EDIT: Come to think of it, your choice of using a pompous-looking bust of Shakespeare tends to suggest your own image of yourself (not only the Stratford connection). I imagine you look nothing like that of course but: Good luck.

There was some discussion (I'm not finding it to link to) of not having the devx anymore because if you have one, then you've got to keep it up to date. So, instead of having a devx, just use apt2sfs to create one or just install the stuff that you need.

Maybe Fred will chime in with a list of the programs that he would have put in a devx if he would have created one and everyone can just create their own?

Not for the DD-Stretch version posted earlier in this thread.
Not 100% sure, but the devx posted for Trinitydog-Stretch should work, since it's also Stretch based..
https://github.com/DebianDog/trinitydog ... 8.squashfs

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, 'the Dogs' don't have devxs.

That's not right, the past years always a devx was posted along with any Debiandog or Xenialdog ISO.

EDIT: @rcrsn51
From your isobooter example in the Trintydog thread I see "DebianDog-Stretch-openbox_xfce-jwm-2016-11-14.iso".
It's from here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 862#931862
And there's also a link for DEVX.
But I wouldn't recommend that ISO, it's preview for testing and at that time not yet from the 'Stable' branch yet.

Latest Stretch ISO i shared here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 770#959770

Thanks. I was looking for it because I wanted the kernel headers, like in the TD-Stretch devx.

In Debian you need this for compiling: https://packages.debian.org/stretch/build-essential not devx.

As for the kernel headers, have a look here: https://packages.debian.org/stretch/kernel/ and choose whatever is needed for the job, like this package, for example: https://packages.debian.org/stretch/ker ... .9.0-3-686
