beeps

I've swapped in the kernel from the latest Stretchpup, also from LxPupSc64.
Strange beeps persist upon waking from sleepmode...

@westwest, what is the brand name and model of your computer?
@kuman extract iso on a working linux distro. Can you please show your bootloader settings to examine?

I don't have backlight on mine.
The power app in XSlacko 4.4r24 doesn't seem to work properly. The screen's set to go off in 1 hr though it can only last for less than 10 min ...

Same behaviour, high-pitched beeps on wakeup, with various other kernels swapped in (both 3.xx and 4.xx),

@kuman11

Sorry for late reply
use this boot parameter in your bootloader to boot puppy without loading savefiles

Code: Select all

pfix=ram
@westwest
If you have spare time, could you please download boot X-Slacko made by @rg66 in your dell laptop then try to sleep and wakeup

New iteration of X-Slacko Slim released

Changes:
* Improved package manager
* Improved sfs loading
* Uses xorg fallback driver as default driver on first boot. (fbdev for UEFI system or with framebuffer device, vesa for BIOS or without framebuffer device)
* With autoconfiguration. X-Slacko Slim resets xorg configuration to default if there is a change of videocards or monitors
* Improved startup and shutdown.
* Ability to rebuild missing cache file
* A bug where cannot find and mount swap partition upon booting in UEFI is fixed

Trying it out

@misfire, I am a new user to X-Slacko but I will not whine to you unless it is necessary.
Just forewarning you. I know that not all software will work on all hardware. My hat is still off to you for your obvious hard work.

Sincerely,

Fishman
