I tried to compile adbfs-rootless and it fails claiming g++ is missing. A symlink to g++-7 does the trick.

G'day peebee,

So nice to try a new 32-bit Puppy in which most things 'just work' for me, after my on-going hassles with several 64-bit Pups, mostly with scanning and printing, plus various apps which need libs in different places for different Pups.

Anyway, back on-topic......
... all my sfs-added apps look to be running and I can print and scan on my networked Epson WF-2510.
One difference to me is the testprint page which has a Pup logo Very Happy

but the colour swatches are over some text - still readable but a little messy (screenshot).

Only problem I've come across is the module to monitor my computer temperatures is not loading. I've copied the MODULESCONFIG textfile in /etc/rc.d/ that has the needed module line and the module is listed in the Boot Manager as well.

But running sensors says no modules are loaded, and Pwidgets is blank in its Temp-CPU widgets (screenshot).
This has worked in all previous Pups so I'm puzzled.

Thanks for all your work,

David S.

G'day peebee,

Thanks for your reply about my Cuttlefish's lack of CPU data.

It's not just the tray temperature that I'm missing but also the more details that come up in my CPU-Temp widget.

Screenshots show Bionic with the smsc47b397 module running (info in widgets and tray) and Cosmic with nothing even after several re-boots.

The module ( smsc47b397 ) needed in my HP Small-form desktops is listed in the /etc/rc.d/MODULESCONFIG file and is working in all my other Pups.
In most other Pups, the tray temp needs the module loaded to display a temperature or a 'doesn't work on my system' message pops up.

Could I try this module from bionic in cosmic? (if I knew where to look Embarassed

.)

Nice work again peebee,
It should be the last time i write about it,anyhow bumping in the unknown world of fresh new small annoyance...
I did wrote that upupcc resolved my initmodule create at fresh install weirdness with hid-sensor-hub,well I was wrong,it seem if a initmodule.txt existed in your first save folder it does not rewrite a new one which i was not aware of.
So it did generate that upupccinitmodule.text="kernel/drivers/hid/hid-sensor-hub.ko,kernel/drivers/hid/hid-sensor-custom.ko,kernel/drivers/hid/hid-sensor-hub.ko,kernel/drivers/hid/wacom.ko"
No big fuss,boot stop 2 time 60 sec. ,you just edit the file and next boot is ok.
Did try to find the reason why,got only suspicion... with ubuntu live log
and kernel docs:(HID Sensors Framework)
The core driver registers (hid-sensor-hub) registers as a HID driver. It parses
report descriptors and identifies all the sensors present. It adds an MFD device
with name HID-SENSOR-xxxx (where xxxx is usage id from the specification).

So,assuming it see 2 sensor...which are not "kernel compiled available" puppy generate a "dummy" second hid sensor hub .. if it could be that........
Yes only one tested machine did it,yes all "newer" puppy" behave the same,yes this tabletpc include plenty of Micro$oft love in its uefi bios +no manufacturer intention to offer android support for it , but , give ubuntu team
an applause for getting it sorted out of that not so compliant uefi/acpi bios!
oh...no,i did not tried to compiled a kernel with the missing modules for that tablet.
You too peebee deserve claps ,as all devs,
your puppys are functionnals...and fancy looking.

Could someone please explain differences between:
upupbb 18.05+16 and 18.10+2 ? I've looked all over and cannot get the differences elsewhere. Thanks for any help.

Upupcc is woof-built using the binaries from Ubuntu Cosmic Cuttlefish. The latter was released as a "beta" on or about September 28, 2018. Upupcc was published shortly thereafter, on October 19.

A beta release means that while the OS appears to be fully functional, it has not been extensively tested under the "zillions" of differing hardware combinations available. As 'feed-back' from beta users is received, modifications to software packages and even 'core' modules are made.

peebee provides interim releases which incorporate those modifications, or which provide modifications unique to upupcc based on 'feed-back' from its users and/or his own further examination and experience. 18.10+2 included the modification he considered appropriate as of the date of the release of 18.10+2. 18.05+16, published at a later date, included those modification considered appropriate as of that date.

Post script: It has occurred to me that your reference to 'upupbb' may not have been a typing error. Upupbb is woof-build using the binaries of Ubuntu Bionic Beaver. Upupcc those of Ubuntu Cosmic Cuttlefish, an entirely different animal both figuratively and literally. All their core modules are not identical; and the ubuntu repos they can access are different, perhaps holding different versions of applications employing different libraries.

While sometimes the applications built for one can be run under the other, you can't count on that.

What I consider most important about their differences is that Bionic Beaver was published by Ubuntu with the representation that it would have Long Term Support --security updates, other fixes and that its repos would be maintained -- thru April 2023. Ubuntu Cosmic Cuttlefish, however, will only be supported for 9 months.

Puppy Linux is, of course, not bound by what Ubuntu decides. Lucid Puppy was kept up to date for several years after Ubuntu Lucid Lynx had reached its End of Life. But doing so, and especially keeping up with newer software, becomes more of a burden.

First of all, thanks Peebee for the great work!

Just a minimal glitch...It seems that the "choose SFS file from official repository" button doesn't work for me...

Both work after a reboot.
However I prefer for banking to boot a pristine Puppy,
add my stored bookmarks, and usually Slimjet and off I go.
