Edit Disregard this post. See following post.

Long and short bug synopsis

chroot isn't working for me.

My test script
I created a script called suEcho

Code: Select all

pwd
su -c "sh /scripts/echoHome" spot
and put it in:
/root/spot/usr/sbin/

The error I found within the strace output

running

Code: Select all

strace chroot /root/spot suEcho
I get this error:

Code: Select all

execve("/usr/sbin/suEcho", ["suEcho"], [/* 57 vars */]) = -1 ENOEXEC (Exec format error)
here is the full strace output

Code: Select all

More on what I was trying to do

Had chroot worked than suEcho would call echoHome which is this short script:

Code: Select all

cd ~
pwd
What I wanted to test is if I could create a jail in precise this way for sandboxing. I created a little discussion about sandboxing in the security forum (See thread).

#408 Post by s243a »

Please disregard my previous post because:
1. chroot can't execute script files. but it can execute sh via busybox. If I use this command instead

Code: Select all

strace chroot /root/spot sh "suEcho"
then I get no error about not being able to find sh. However, I do get lots of errors about not finding libc which bings me to:

2. A sandbox will need access to a minimal set of libraries. As a minimum libc will be needed. I'm sure more will be needed as well.

In short this was not a bug in precise but a misunderstanding by me of how chroot works.

What is this release 32bit or 64 bit

#409 Post by april »

I have Precise Puppy 5.7.1 but what I don't understand is whether it is 32 bit or 64 bit .

I don't really understand what the difference is except that info is transfered 64 bits at a time I suppose.

I downloaded an Arduino IDE program and got the 32 bit version and it ran fine up until now . Now I downloaded the 64 bit IDE and I have some sort of a mismatch going on and the IDE refuses to start and run . It starts but complains "

Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM warning: You have loaded library /opt/arduino-1.6.4/lib/libastylej.so which might have disabled stack guard. The VM will try to fix the stack guard now.
It's highly recommended that you fix the library with 'execstack -c <libfile>', or link it with '-z noexecstack'.

The program has terminated!

" and closes down

Can someone explain what is going on or maybe what to put in the command "execstack -c <libfile>', or link it with '-z noexecstack'." for <libfile> mentioned above ?

Precise Puppy 5.7.1 is 32 bit.

#411 Post by april »

OK So what Puppy releases are 64 bit and where do I get them if there are any?

When you make short sharp answers like this you usually confuse the asker , as you have done here . Could you elaborate a bit more if you know what you are talking about and help us poor lowly users ?

precise retro compatibility: pupsave + USB use

Hello,

I know, Precise Puppy 5.7.1 is no longer developed.
Nevertheless, it is the distribution that I use to create the future puplet "ASRI Edu 310" (edutainment version of Puppy).

Last year, I had created a Precise-5.7.1 version from woof-ce (v3).
Since then I have spent many hours developing/improving/updating the OS. I also created dozens of compatible packages.


Usually, I work with frugal installation on an internal hard drive.
There are two weeks, while I was ready to propose a beta/rc, I conducted tests for compatibility with bootable USB keys (fat32, pupmode=13). For this, I used the puplet ASRI Edu 310, and the original version of Precise Puppy 5.7.1.

On the four computers tested:
- With the release NOPAE (retro), I never managed to use a pupsave file. Upon reboot, the boot plant prompted systematically. However, when first starting (pupmode=5), everything works perfectly.
- With version pae, the boot is ok.

With LiveCD (pae/NOpae) use with backup on an internal hard drive (pupmode=12), I have no problem. Everything is functional, fast and efficient.


My question: with a version "retro" installed on a USB drive fat32, have you managed to use a pupsave file?

Hello to everyone, I tried to download the delta file, to upgrade precise5.7.1retro to the unofficial 5.7.2 version, as suggested by mavrothal:

Here is the, last I believe, precise-5.7.1_to_5.7.2 delta (md5sum: b6ea7b96f49848776186ad7ea7dc907d).
<Edit> ...and here is the precise-5.7.1-retro_to_5.7.2-retro delta (md5sum: 26cb64612292706504fec7ee833d6f96) </Edit>

This is mostly to test the save_to_folder function and also contains updated bash, Puppy-package-*, sfs_load, and a fix for a soft wifi block in some hardware.

It also contains a savefile2dir script that it can be used to transform your savefile to savedirectory. To use it boot with pfix=ram, backup your savefile, and then in the terminal type

Code: Select all

savefile2dir /full/path/to/savefile.2fs
replacing '/full/path/to/savefile.2fs' with the actual path and name of your savefile.
but OpenDNS blocked me with the following warning: "This domain is blocked due to a phishing threat." :?
I bypassed the obstacle and upgraded precise to the unofficial 5.7.2 version but I encountered the following issues:
when I start firefox, in the terminal, I have the following warning "the D-BUS daemon did not start because /dev/null is not a file or directory".
Using PShutdown to shut down the computer instead of turning it off they restarts. :(
Someone else has encountered the same problems.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks. :)

Hi all, sorry for my lack experience. :oops: I've found the cause of my shutdown problem at the following post:

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 880#850880

in which radky explains the issue. The /dev/null problem, I think, is due to the use of Savefile2dir 1.5.
Regards.

I can no longer change users to spot. I get the error:

Code: Select all

#su spot
su: can't execute '/bin/sh': Premission densied
I think the error was caused when I tried to install chrome. I clicked on the deb selected instal. When I tried running it it got the error:

Code: Select all

[14118:14118:0714:0714/225924:ERROR:nacl_fork_delegate_linux.cc(314)] Bad NaCL helper startup ack
The only other think that I tried doing was upgrading flash. I realize though that adobe is no longer supporting flash and that's why I was trying to install chrome.

Perhaps it is time for me to try one of the newer versions of precise.

To install flash, you can use getflash-1.5-6.pet http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 869#835869

Firefox is blocking flash now because of security vulnerabilities. Adobe hasn't updated the linux version of flash for quite some time. I believe that that in the future puppy should use one of the open source versions of flash or come with either chrome or chromium.

When you make short sharp answers like this you usually confuse the asker , as you have done here . Could you elaborate a bit more if you know what you are talking about and help us poor lowly users ?

No official 64 bit puppies, but I would expect puppy to skip x86_64 and use the newer x32 (same speed and instruction capability, but uses 32 bit pointers ) But you can try fatdog64 for now.

GetFlash Install Flashplayer Utility Inoperative New Install

#423 Post by duckguy »

I have set up and have a working online connection, but the installer has no connection with it.

I successfully installed Adobe flash from the Adobe website into the Opera browser after many attempts. I am not having any luck with the Firefox browser, and I am now trying to get it working with the Seamonkey browser.

In any case, I am certain that you want to know that the Flash utility installer is not operating.

Hope this helped. The system works great though, and I really appreciate having the benefit of your hard work. Thanks so very much!

Here is a view of the pink/red warning box that appears when attempting to run the 'GetFlash' utility.

Which version of GetFlash are you using? Adobe's changed their server setups for downloading Flash a few times.

The latest versions of GetFlash can be found in this topic, 1.5.6 at the beginning, and a 1.5.7 version at the end. I couldn't say which would work better for you, though, as I'm on an older version of Puppy. :)
[ Puppy 4.3.1 JP, Frugal install ] * [ XenialPup 7.5, Frugal install ] * [XenialPup 64 7.5, Frugal install] * [ 4GB RAM | 512MB swap ]

I had an older version. I followed the link to the other part of this forum that you posted, I was able to download the updated 'pet' file, but I couldn't run it.

Instead I went to the PPM (Puppy Package Manager) and went through the update process with it, which only took a few minutes. Then I rebooted, loaded the updated PPM, and searched the PPM database for the GetFlash utility. The PPM told me I had an older version installed than its database did. So, it was easy from there to install the update, which worked right away.

I ran the updated GetFlash successfully. I still have to work with my browsers to see if the updated Flashplayer has completely integrated properly. Since, I first used the Adobe website to update my system, and it didn't integrate into every application.

Thanks for your help!

EDIT: I am now getting online warnings that my Flashplayer is outdated, although there is still some functionality. Also I just got a pop-up from an Adobe logoed script that the Flashplayer has been "deactivated." Look at the screen shots.
