I want to transfer the casper folder with changes to to another laptop which has grub2. Are there any instructions on what one have to put into Grub2 to boot bionicdog without installing grub4dos?
The following is just an example extract from grub.cfg of what I use for booting using grub2 from the second partition of my harddrive (/dev/sda2). For this example I have casper directory installed inside /bionicdog64 directory of that /dev/sda2 partition:

Code: Select all

menuentry 'BionicDog64 on /dev/sda2' {
    set root='hd0,msdos2'
    linux /bionicdog64/casper/vmlinuz from=/bionicdog64/ noauto changes=EXIT:/bionicdog64/casper
    initrd /bionicdog64/casper/initrd1.xz
}

Thanks wiak for answering, btw, I could never understand what means the "msdos2" at the "set root=..."
Anyway, this should work also with grub2 for sda2 (similar as grub4dos, but with the difference that for grub4dos it should be (hd0,1) for the second partition (sda2), confusing.... :roll: )

Code: Select all

 set root=(hd0,2)

hi Fred

Can you help. I cannot get right click working in BionicDog. It's frustrating.

On fatdog the workaround is to use the wacom driver instead of udev, this detects two touch events, with custom rules. But it doesn't work for me.

cheers

edit: this works after installing mousetweaks

Code: Select all

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.mouse secondary-click-enabled "true"

I'm using the cinnamon version by ETP, I have no problems using Wifi-TrayNet, the builtin Gnome-Network-Manager is very good regardless.

Cinnamon is a bit buggy for touchscreen use sometimes, crashes and logsout of X. Sometimes requires forced shutdown, but overall it's really useable.

Blueman cannot connect to phone or headset. I will replace bluez5 with bluez4.

https://getpublii.com/
Create beautiful websites

Perfect HTML CMS for blogs, portfolios and company websites. Publii allows to you build, modify and manage an unlimited number of sites from the same app with instant switching; no databases or other credentials to remember. No coding or HTML required.
So, very excited to try this...I downloaded deb package of static site generator Publii (an electron app) onto my BionicDog64 system and it seemed to install fine. I ran it by:

Code: Select all

cd /opt/Publii
./Publii --no-sandbox
It started up without issue. I clicked top right X to close it and restarted it; all fine. Then I did a save2flash and rebooted and tried starting it again but wouldn't start (big error message). I did an apt purge publii, and re-installed it and all fine again (until save2flash and reboot, which causes it not to work again...). Very sad. It's a very interesting static site creator, but I can't find out why it stops working on save2flash followed by reboot...

Help! Any ideas???

I've since found that Publii works if download Publii.AppImage instead of the deb. If root user, need to run it with --no-sandbox option. Still don't know the issue with deb version and save2flash; maybe some Bionic library gets overwritten???

Yes, would be interesting to know what causes the issue, but no hurry, the Appimage version works fine, and personally I'm now using Hugo instead since really nice and has lots of docs/tutorial. Actually, it's my partner that needs the functionality, which is why I looked at Publii since more GUI drag and drop type of app, and Jekyll too technical, but Hugo learning curve isn't so steep for basic use anyway.

Hi wiak, I found the cause.
Indeed has to do with save2flash, well, actually with the snapmergepuppy script (called by save2flash) which skips copying the contents of any "trash" folder.
/opt/Publii contains a trash subfolder which is needed for Publii to run and cannot find it after reboot with save2flash.
I added upgraded package "porteusbootscript" (0.0.6) to repo, which contains fixed snapmergepuppy, installing that + re-installing Publii and it should be ok.

unable to upgrade kernel

#845 Post by chesterpeng »

Hi there,
I am running BionicDog64_2018-06-04-firmware_all, frugal installed to sda1.
Recently, I am trying to upgrade the kernel through Menu->system->upgrade-kernel, the script seems to run successfully. see attached screen shot.
After rebooting, I find the system is still running old kernel.

Code: Select all

root@bionicdog64:~# uname -a
Linux bionicdog64 4.15.0-22-generic #24-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 16 12:15:17 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
root@bionicdog64:~# 
and the two .bak files which are supposed to be created by the script do not exist under /casper.
I guess something must be messed up in my system, anyone knows how to clean it up?
Thanks.
