tahrpup64 6.0.5 CE

I probably overwrites some file
You might want to uninstall one dependency at a time and check passwd to see which one is the culprit. (kpat takes painfully long to install )
Alternatively load devx, run "strace passwd" and see if it is clear where the problem is (or post the strace output here)

Installing kpat and the rest of the kdegames breaks the passwd command, it's be like this over several versions both 32 and 64 bit.

root# passwd root
passwd: pam_start() failed, error 26
root#

It works okay before installing kpat.

it's probably systemd so uninstall any systemd stuff....... then open /root/.packages/PKGS_MANAGEMENT and edit line 93 to

Code: Select all

  PKG_NAME_IGNORE="libudev1 udev xkb-data systemd* ${PKG_NAME_IGNORE}"

this should stop it installing

I changed line 93 and then deleted all the systemd stuff that I found in PPM along with some dependencies.
The passwd command works again now:

root# passwd root
Changing password for root
New password:

did ctrl c to abort it.

@mavrothal
When I run strace now there don't seem to be any errors, nothing obvious to me at least

Thanks.

Will an edited line 93 in the next build solve it forever?

[666philb]

it should do.., it'll also stop some other systemd shenanigans

I use tahrpup64 6.0.5 and have been trying 6.0.6 recently.

I noticed that flsynclient fails to load its setting at reboot.
This annoys me and I wrote a script like "flsynclient -s" and put it in the Startup folder.

Another thing I noticed was that something was wrong with puppyinstaller (script). See the attached image. "internal adaptor" is strange. This may be due to some kind of mistake in the script.

I would appreciate it if these would be improved.

As thinkpadfreak notes, this problem has been here since 6.05. i reported it some time ago.

When I run xorgwizard I have 2 options:-

Intel -needs KMS
modesetting

I currently have to use modesetting or my desktop gets corrupted- but how do I know the status of KMS on my system? I would like to utilise my graphics card.

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks.

[bigpup]

modesetting should be using your graphics card.

Menu->System->Pup-Sysinfo->Devices->Display->Video info.
This should tell you what is being used.

[Johnnyboy]

Thanks bigpup.

I've noticed after several hours of testing that random SD cards and USB storage devices are not recognised in Tahr 6.0.6. 64 bit version.

Please see this thread.

Fresh frugal of TAHR32-6.0.6 and all is well. I had found that QPDFVIEW (used
on TAHR64) is much better than Evince for filling out tax forms. Installing
from the repo was uneventful.

I have the subjective impression that the 32 bit TAHRPUP is just as fast as
the 64 bit. I used a javascript "number cruncher" program of mine to try
to get some kind of objective experience. The number cruncher (at least)
runs nearly as fast on 32 as 64 bit TAHRPUPS.

A really sweet pup

Edit: Whoops. Meant for the 32 bit thread.

Are they picked up by dmesg?

Code: Select all

dmesg > /root/606-64_dmesg.txt
gzip /root/606-64_dmesg.txt

I am trying to make a Japanese translation of the uefi-usb-installer which is included in tahrpup64 6.0.6.

At first, uefi-usb-installer did not appear in the list of MoManager. I looked into the uefi-usb-installer script, and wondered if it lacked some lines needed.

I added the 2 lines:
export TEXTDOMAIN=uefi-usb-installer
export OUTPUT_CHARSET=UTF-8

And uefi-usb-installer appeard in the list and .po file was created, though I am not sure whether I am right in adding those lines.

Regards:
With "tahrpup64-6.0.6"
The "cpu temp" icon did not appear in the bar even though it was activated in "startup".
I made a symlink of: /root/.config/pmcputemp/temp.png to: /usr /share /pixmaps
The icon appears and works.
Health.

Nluug download link in first post is broken.

Bonjour,

At any rate, I decided to increase the size of my SaveFile. Resize Personal Storage file didn't start via the Menu. From the terminal, resizepfile.sh shows:

sh-4.3# resizepfile.sh
/usr/sbin/resizepfile.sh: line 61: ((1024-617
0)*200/1024): missing `)' (error token is "0)*200/1024)")
Any idea how to fix it.

May be this issue was fixed but I do not have the courage to read all the pages, especially as I found a solution to solve the problem.
I noticed that, in some cases (for me while running Puppy from an usb key self made frugal installation) resizepfile is not working because the value of the variable:

Code: Select all

SIZEFREE=`df -m | grep "$PERSISTMNTPT" | tr -s " " | cut -f 4 -d " "` #free space in ${DISTRO_FILE_PREFIX}save.3fs

gives, for example, something like:

1598 0 0 0

instead of:

Code: Select all

1598

which makes the script crash.
I solved this by adding a line like this:

Code: Select all

SIZEFREE_=`df -m | grep "$PERSISTMNTPT" | tr -s " " | cut -f 4 -d " "` #free space in ${DISTRO_FILE_PREFIX}save.3fs
SIZEFREE=$(echo $SIZEFREE_ | cut -f 1 -d " ")

It is problably "rough" coding but it works!

Cordialement.

Hi, I recently installed tahrpup 6.0.6 UEFI (32 bits) in my old Core2Duo and it works fast like a thunder, but now I wanna try the tahrpup64 6.0.6 UEFI, But this version would work on my pc with a normal BIOS without UEFI?.

[artsown]

@ Quickgold

Welcome aboard! I use both the 64 and 32 bit versions on my core2duo
and also my even older dual core desktop PCs.

Don't be surprised though if the 32 bit pup seems just as fast as the
64 bit.

Hi all,

Don't know if anyone is using the latest Tahr 6.0.6 (or if we've all migrated to Xenial-builds of 7.0.8), but I find myself using the woof-CE build I did some weeks ago of Tahr64-6.0.6 every now & then. Since its (woof-CE's version) openssl seemed a bit out-of-date (2014, gulp ), at least on mine it was, here is the latest 'openssl-version' (1.0.2k) I compiled in the Tahrpup64-6.0.6. Hope it helps anybody that needs it.

Google Drive link for "openssl-1.0.2k-tahr-x86_64.pet":

P.S. Most already know this, but for those who don't (or forgot), just open a terminal and type: openssl version If you get back anything other than openssl-1.0.2k, then it's out-of-date & needs to be updated for many security (i.e. browser, email, etc) reasons. And if you need 32-bit versions, search for Watchdog's threads, as he compiles 32-bit openssl versions for most all 32-bit pups

[Sailor Enceladus]

Since its (woof-CE's version) openssl seemed a bit out-of-date (2014, gulp ), at least on mine it was,

According to our Ubuntu-pup-lord 666philb, Ubuntu does something silly and "patches" old openssl versions rather than just using the newest so who knows what version it really is or if it really is a "version" at all and not a "openssl fork from aliens"
