ArtfulPup (& Upup-Bionic-Beaver-RC)

[hamoudoudou]

with so many puppies, i would be strange to not find the one which fits your needs..
To make a fat Puppy with everything, or many Slim Puppies, that is the question.. But you can easily find slim or fat, by taking a glance in the forum.. I Thin PeeBee was in the thin option.
... puppies only have to not freeze after ten minutes. Arfulpup has been running for hours this morning with heavy tasks as ckecking scanned archives for old births, burials and wedding. Processors work hard. Light 49 never failed.
Csipesz likes to make huge Puppies, all included. Try them.. that will make him happy..

Hi Peebee

Just trying artfulpup out. First impressions are great.

My touchscreen works with pinch to zoom, and two fingers for right click on desktop calling up menu. The cursor and digitizer are correctly aligned, without any further calibration, just as with DebianDog, FatDog and LightHouse64. I have not used a 32bit pup for a couple of years and this was the main reason! Now there is no reason not too. I wonder which 32bit pup first had this capability ... it wasn't slacko32/64, or studio1337 (based on slacko) or quirky. Maybe this is the first one Is it using libinput?

Cheers!

I've just found an issue with the "/etc/init.d/udev" script.
An error about "ps" failing is reported in "/tmp/bootsysinit.log".
I've found that this line of code in "udev" fails:

Code: Select all

if ! ps --no-headers --format args ax | egrep -q '^\['; then

The 'ps' fails because in puppy it's a script that contains this line:

Code: Select all

[ "`which ps-FULL`" != "" ] && exec ps-FULL $@

Which fails because "which" is not in the PATH as defined in the "udev" script.
This could be fixed by changing the PATH definition in "udev", but I suspect that this script is borrowed from elsewhere, so best not to have a local patch.
Suggested fix is to change the offending line in "/bin/ps" to:

Code: Select all

[ "`/usr/bin/which ps-FULL`" != "" ] && exec ps-FULL $@

or

Code: Select all

[ -x /bin/ps-FULL ] && exec /bin/ps-FULL $@

Either of these removes the requirement for "which" to be in the PATH.
The patched "ps" should still work the same as before.

gyro

what about

Code: Select all

busybox which ps-FULL

which in fatdog returns

Code: Select all

ps-FULL not found in `echo $PATH`

more or less; whereas `busybox which` when nothing found returns nothing. Both return one line when finding the exe. Seems to me to aid portability.

Ever think of doing something different to get updates for Artfulpup?

Xenialpup and Tahrpup uses an update feature in Quickpet.
When something needs to be added or fixed.
An update zip file is made containing the changes.

Go to Quickpet>Info>Updates button
Click on updates.
It downloads and installs the update.
You now have a updated version with all the updates in it.

You could ask 666philb how he does it.

The repository is here to see what is in it.

I'm happy with deltas thanks.....

[sszindian]

Artfulpup 17.11 + delta's

Open a drive file (HDD,SR0-CD,etc) on desktop - after closing, click on the little green box, it doesn't unmount, only opens the file again... have to right/click on drive and unmount from drop-down list.

>>>---Indian------>

On bigpup's post... I agree with him on the update thing,,, reason- I don't frugal or full install, I run every puppy I have from the CD/DVD with savefile on the HDD... Every delta requires me to burn a new .iso to keep updated... just lots of extra work on my part to use Artfulpup.

Just my 2-cents!!!

My savefile doesn't get found at boot up! There is not entry in DISTRO_SPECS in the initrd.

Weird - unmount via green 'mark' on drive on desktop works just fine for me - is this a pristine install or with a savefolder?

Again - no such problems here - more details of your configuration? Did it work with a previous delta?

[Marv]

I run a modified artfulpup with pcmanfm and its trashcan integrated into the structure so I booted both a pristine +12 and a +12 updated from my +11 to check the savefile finding and the closing of mounted drives from the desktop icon button. Both are ok for me both on the pristine boot and on the update. I do run the 4.14.14 kernel from LxPupSc as it has the kpti patches in FWIW. My Grub4Dos entry for the Frugal install to a 2nd gen i5 laptop (Fujitsu S761) is below and my savefile name is artfulpupsave-fresh.2fs in this case. It is an unencrypted EXT2, usually 256Mb:

Code: Select all

title ArtfulPup 17.11.10 with 4.14.14 kernel
  uuid 2598-C220
  kernel /ArtfulPup/vmlinuz pmedia=ataflash intel_pstate=disable pdev1=sda1 psubdir=ArtfulPup pfix=copy,fsck ipv6.disable=1
  initrd /ArtfulPup/initrd.gz

The deltas are a bit more work but I like them as they force/allow me to scrub my savefile before updating. It greatly prolongs its life I find and also gives me a fallback in case of troubles with the update.
Edit: Yes the menuentry title lags the actual pup. I try to keep the description current but it happens.

I use a savefolder (in fact on every pup now)

should be available from PPM after a database update

peebee, I am caught in a catch-22 situation: I can't download the pet from PPM without a connection for which I need ndiswrapper.

Would you please provide a link to it or post the pet in this thread.
TIA
[UPDATE]
Found a way to get the pet via smokey:http://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linux_Artfulpup/

@peebee
I can't get a working connection with ndiswrapper.
lsusb recognizes the Netgear WNA3100

Code: Select all

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0846:9020 NetGear, Inc. WNA3100(v1) Wireless-N 300 [Broadcom BCM43231]

Using Network Wizard, I get screeny-1
Using SNS, I get screeny-2
I am using the same XP driver I use successfully with tahrpup-6.0.2, 6.0.5 & 6.0.6
After getting these results in artfulpup, I boot up tahrpup-6.0.6 ... connected for this post.

Any advice/suggestions?
TIA
