Updating 2 computers savefile(uefi/ntfs/lick) and savefolder(legacy) from .7 to 7.9.8 made it impossible to see(rox) mounted drives from desktop,did not investigate more.
New savefile/folder made it alright.

The problem with the drive icons not mounting drives is because the file /usr/local/bin/drive_all is missing after the upgrade. Replacing it with the one from the previous version fixes it.

Also, when compiling some applications you get errors about too many levels of symlinks. That can be fixed by copying the files inside /usr/include/sys from the devx to /usr/include/sys.

Really like this OS!

Bionicpup64 7.9.8 CE RC

Hi Phil,

Whilst looking at the System Log I noticed that scOttman´s pkg script called by the
/root/Startup/PPMUpdatedatabase script was triggering a tad too early and was taking
precedence over more vital items in the boot process such as the detection of wireless peripherals.

My first simple solution was to add a sleep 60 at the start of the script thus:

I'm experiencing hangups during boot with 7.9.8 CE RC...
Frugal install on a Dell Latitude E6400.
This started with 7.9.8 Alpha or Beta

First hangup for 2 minutes during "Loading Kernel Modules..."

Second hangup for another 2 minutes at login, just before sarting X.

X eventually starts, with CPU at ~80%.
Task manager reveals 2 udevd processes. Once those are killed, everything runs smoothly.

I've tried swapping kernels, hangups persist.

Disabling udev completely takes care of the double process after reboot (there's a similar situation with the latest FatDog).

Other pups, recent or not, and Bionic 7.9.7 boot fine.

.
I updated the kernel that I'm using:

CPU: Dual core Intel Core2 Duo E8400 (-MCP-) speed/max: 2750/3003 MHz
Graphics: Card: NVIDIA GF108 [GeForce GT 430]
Display Server: X.Org 1.19.6 driver: nvidia Resolution: 1920x1080@60.00hz
OpenGL: renderer: GeForce GT 430/PCIe/SSE2 version: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 390.87
N

Working well so far.

Bigpup to Billtoo:
How does this make any report you give for Using Bionicpup64 7.9.8 useful?

Billtoo's reply:
I'm just experimenting anyway so I won't post in this thread anymore.

I mean, WTF! We get "useful" reports in how and what kernels can work, especially with different things, and this is the kind of post we get?

Bigpup, Goddamn, take your Donald-Trump-like behavior and keep it to yourself. Billtoo has single-handedly done more for solving problems, and keeping people abreast of changes that can be made, to solve problems, than anything you (or I) have did for the past 8 years. You might think you or I have posted a lot, but in all honesty we aven't posted crap compared to Bill.

Please think next time before you write some inane comment like that, especially to a valuable resource like Bill. Damn...... Confused

Why aren't you paying attention to all the people who show up in the Puppy Project and/or Puppy Derivative sections, and start polluting things with their single posts about an OS that already has a thread. Why am I the only one who patrols this, or tries to?? But, yet, somehow you have time to go after Bill for something totally stupid. Come on, wake up...

Please, Bill, don't stop posting and ignore what Bigpup wrote. He must have got a bad patch of coffee, don't know how else to explain it.

What the heck is happening with this world?? We turn on our own now???

Yes, billtoo, please continue to post.
The information you provide is valuable. Bionicpup64 is not Ubuntu Bionic Beaver. We are not bound to rigidly follow what Ubuntu does. If, as in your case, the kernel Ubuntu uses causes a problem or even if a different kernel just works better, Puppy users and especially the Dev publishing a Puppy should know about it.

One of Puppies strength's is how easy it is that it is almost as easy to change kernels as it is to change web-browsers, or anything else. It is just as important to know, perhaps more important, that kernel X breaks a major web-browser and kernel Y doesn't, than to know that Browser version 2 works while Browser version 1 doesn't.

Boot issues resolved, by disabling Bluetooth in the BIOS.
Seems to be a common problem for older Dells with newer kernels.

This is at the RC stage of release.

What Bionicpup64 7.9.8 does, as it is released as a iso, is what is important at this point.
It is not going to be released with a different kernel than the one that is in it now.
So, that kernel needs to be used, tested, worked over, etc....

You can turn about any Puppy version into something different by changing the Linux kernel in it.

I asked a simple question.
Is there something wrong with the kernel that is in Bionicpu64 7.9.8 that you needed to change the kernel?
