LxPupSc: Woof-CE, Slackware-Current, LXDE build 13-Jun-2020

[Marv]

The 5.0.2-lxpup64 kernel swapped into LxPupSc and LxPupSc64, both 19.01 +5. Nothing at all to report in either. System checks, video FPS, idle CPU, mitigations, and memory use all essentially unchanged. Normal boot, drive mounts, and other daily use also as in 5.0.1. That is to say good. Now back to continue testing a so far similarly uneventful BionicPup32, up for a day also, both pristine and updated scrubbed savefile with pcmanfm integration.

Thanks,

Delta to 19.01+6

ISO md5 = 9c2f30e30402b81739158eb50784717f LxPupSc-19.01+6-uefi-T-k64.iso
Must be applied to: 6170f756b6087d67ba2f42bd23abe7ff LxPupSc-19.01+0-uefi-T-k64.iso

Woof-CE and Slackware Current updates + have also removed some clang components which come from LLVM - don't cause any problems on my pc's but let us know if you detect any graphics oddities...

Delta is getting quite large so there will be probably be a 19.04 rebase - however there are some big repo changes happening in Woof-CE and these need to "settle down" first....

Hi , peebee . Thank you for your continous work for puppy users
I took the last LxPupSc and switched to kernel 5.0.4 . I had to add some firmware for my wireless hardware (Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 9560, REV=0x318) and now everything works on my nuc . I need the kernel headers to compile something , don't I ?
Can I get them somehow , please ? Even those for kernel 5.0.5 would be fine , if you still have them .

Hi Gobbi

Depends what you want to compile.... for most "programs" you just need the devx - you only typically need kernel sources and headers to compile drivers.....woof-ce produces these for each kernel build but I don't normally upload them for "interim kernels"....and you're right - I've deleted the 5.0.4 ones already but do have 5.0.5 (until 5.0.6 appears)....
Send me a pm if you really need them.

5.05 kernel swapped into LxPupSc and LxPupSc64, both +6. No changes to note from 5.04, either in system tests or in boot and run. I'll be running LxPupSc +6 with the 5.05 64b kernel as my daily for a bit.

Thanks,

[peebee]

LxPupSc-19.04+0-uefi-T-k64 is a 32-bit woof-ce 'testing' branch build with a 64-bit kernel (therefore only compatible with 64-bit capable processors)

LxPupSc-19.04+0-uefi-T-k64.iso {devx} - (devx does not include kernel sources or headers) {kernel 5.0.5-lxpup64 sources}

iso md5 = fb0c19473fbccaa77945a771ac10151c

Interim delta updates and newer kernels may be available.

Delta from 19.01T is available

- kernel 5.0.5 64-bit built with GCC-8.3.0
(alternative 32-bit kernels 3.16.x 4.4.x 4.9.x & 4.14.x also available - all need firmware in the fdrv)
- Made from Slackware-Current as of Sun Mar 31 18:51:16 UTC 2019
- BUILD_FROM_WOOF='testing;c1a16e15;2019-03-22 12:34:12 +0800'
- web browser in adrv is light-48.0
- firmware is in fdrv
- alternative fall-back xorg is in ydrv (no need to install unless needed)

**N.B. the 64-bit kernel means that any kernel drivers have to be built in a true 64-bit system - LxPupSc64 with it's own devx is suggested but use the kernel sources above

Savefile carefully scrubbed. Initial boot fine, pupmode correct, all the usual low level tests ok, memspeed_tester results and SFS load speeds unchanged from +6 (much better than upupbb & upupdd, a close second to LxPupSc64), Video FPS good at 79xx. No external drive mount or CD/DVD tests yet, I'm in the cellar with the woodstove yet. Light also not run here yet, I'm on Slimmie from SFS. Ran it yesterday on the new upupdd and it did what needed to be done there. Still seems a reasonable choice for a starter browser. All in all so far 19.04 seems solid.

Cheers,

Did the delta download a couple of times, applied to the 19.04 +0 with the correct md5sum as above. Both times I get a md5sum of 157e93dca99eb2cd61963c400e67719f for the +2 generated iso, not the bec0d2e17dc24b4de61e4d1fc4d089de given above. No error messages during the generation, md5sums of the 2 downloaded deltas matched.

Sorry about that...........not sure what happened.......but have now uploaded the correct delta to match the post.............

Got it, thanks. Not much time right now, planting season, but both LxPupSc and LxPupSc64 updated 19.04 +0 to +2 running the 5.10 64b kernel with no issues seen in quick checks. I am running the latest upupdd as my daily now. Rock solid for me there too but I'm not testing any multimedia apps or installing much beyond redshift portable, printers, browser from SFS etc. Current slimmie from SFS plays everything I try on all three pups so I'm ok there.
