I made a mistake and typed Xenialpup when a meant to type Bionicpup.

No.do you still get the problem if you boot without the German settings?
before i raise an issue on woofce, does it affect any other applications or just pmount?ITSMERSH wrote:No.do you still get the problem if you boot without the German settings?
Everything's fine then.
But would be cool if it would work with those German settings, as I need them in the kernel line booting into RAM only in general.
there's been a lot of changes in woofce during bionicpupos development and using old savefiles from the betas isn't recommended and is known to cause problemsRedQuine wrote:Two issues with the upgrade, although one of them is minor:
1. On first boot, I was unable to configure my trackpad with flSynclient. A dialog box popped up, but it only had an exclamation mark in it (no text), and when I clicked OK, flSynclient closed. Once I'd created a fresh pupsave and rebooted, it worked perfectly - so this one's definitely just a minor issue.
2. I decided to be sensible and boot into RAM as suggested. I then created a new pupsave and rebooted.
At this point, I would normally open my old pupsave and copy across my favourite tweaks and quirks to the new one. Unfortunately, this time, the old one appears to have been wiped; all it contains is a broken symlink to /initrd/mnt/tmpfs/pup_rw
Should I have copied everything off it before I rebooted with the new pupsave? I've never had to do that before; unless I upgraded it, the old one was left untouched. Not a disaster as I had a recent backup, but worth mentioning nonetheless.
Other than that, everything's looking great so far. Many thanks!
I appreciate the reasons for the change and I'm absolutely fine with them. However, there were icons and application settings in there which shouldn't have caused any problems with woofce, and I appear to have lost them all permanently. As I say, I have a backup so it's not a disaster. I was just wondering why the old pupsave was wiped during the upgrade.666philb wrote:there's been a lot of changes in woofce during bionicpupos development and using old savefiles from the betas isn't recommended and is known to cause problemsRedQuine wrote: At this point, I would normally open my old pupsave and copy across my favourite tweaks and quirks to the new one.

believe it or not this wasn't deliberate & i've just spent the last 40mins trying to figure this out. Htop has always been a .pet in bionic and when building with woof it looks for the .pet in allocated repos. in bionicpup it looks in this order.artsown wrote:Fresh "from scratch" frugal to hard drive of 8.0 using a core i5 and 4 gig
ram desktop. Installation of all my usual stuff was uneventful. It seems that
8.0 is noticeably faster than the 7.9.8 rc.
I noticed that 8.0 has the same old HTOP version 1.0.3 that xenialpup64
version 7.5 has. Ram useage reports are now much lower than they
are on bio 7.9.8 rc with its version 2.0.2 version HTOP. In fact, the
ram useage reports are comparable to xenialpup64. I wonder why
you chose the old and outdated version of HTOP for the 8.0 release?
Anyway, your bionicpup64 is by far the best pup for my purposes, and
I thank you again for it!

Here is the topic for pmcpucurt64CPU temperature monitor for 64-bit Pups
I see someone has uploaded pmcpucurt64.pet to the ibiblio.org site for bionicpup64 pet packages.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... -bionic64/
This pet package is missing the /root/.config/autostart/pmcpucurt.desktop
So, when the pet is installed. Nothing is put into the autostart directory to make the program load. Thus it is not running and no temp is displayed in the tray.

In PPM did a search for pmcpucurt64.
The results are it is already installed.

I was surprised at first with these automatic connections on startup but I realised is because of all these scripts in the Startup folder.
Here is the proprietary "wl" broadcom wifi driver and the Facetime broadcom 1570 PCIe webcam driver for the Bionicpup64 8.0 CE, if anyone needs them.

Why do they break stuff, that has worked very well for years?i'll re-upload as soon as the savefile issue gets fixed in woof.
