XenialDog 64-bit (Ubuntu 16.04 'Xenial Xerus' LTS, 64-bit) (Ubuntu minimal "live") XenialDog is a fork of "DebianDog" which is a community project once started by forum member saintless. See also Here for Debiandog history. DebianDog full credits: Here Thread Closed, see also here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=957625#957625 2016.06.22: Re-opened I will continue to maintain this version. There were several requests for a XenialDog64, so here it is now! ==================================== EDIT 2017-01-22: New ISO uploaded, see also here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=940485#940485 Download links below updated to 2017-01-22 version ==================================== See for planned fixes and changes on next iso release in second post. Very similar to DebianDog, but with the difference that it's Ubuntu based Full access to Ubuntu repositories by using apt-get (from terminal) or from Synaptic Package Manager (GUI) Openbox is the main window-manager, the GUI setup is very much like DebianDog64 Differences compared to DebianDog: - Different applications, some are not present and some others added. - Choices of window-manager are: Openbox and Jwm , see for specifications below. Login details: root with password root (default automatic login) puppy with password puppy Specifications: Built from an absolute minimal Ubuntu full install (using mini.iso). Kernel: 4.4.0-59-generic Choice of Boot Methods: porteus-boot and casper-boot ,see options at the XenialDog Wiki Default WM - OpenBox (and option for Jwm, see below) (with different choice of Desktop modes: tint2 icon-panel, cairo-dock or rox-pinboard icons, to choose, run 'Desktop Manager' from Menu) (replaced wbar (from previous (32-bit) version) with a minimal cairo-dock Panel: Tint2 bottom panel or cairo-dock. Default File Manager - pcmanfm with option to use rox. Default Internet Browser - Firefox. Menu provided by Obmenu-generator (perl script) Added: Quick-remaster (thanks to rufwoof for the concept) and Upgrade-kernel tools Edit: Conky display of RAM usage is according to 'free', not to Htop as it was on previous (32bit) version Option to switch to JWM (Menu > System > Start Jwm) Full LZ4 squashfs support (compression and loading modules) The Iso size became quite big mainly because: - Big size of Ubuntu kernel 4.4.0-59-generic (in /lib/modules) - Package 'linux-firmware' installed (has most firmware) - Python and Perl installed Download: Edit: updated to version 2017-01-22 Iso: XenialDog_64bit-openbox_jwm-2017-01-22-firmware-all.iso Size: 310MB Md5sum: XenialDog_64bit-openbox_jwm-2017-01-22-firmware-all.md5 DEVX: 61-DEVX-XenialDog64-2017-01-18.squashfs Locales: 99-locales-XenialDog64-2017-01-18.squashfs XenialDog custom packages repository: Here Special thanks to Toni (saintless), William (mcewanw), Terry (sunburnt), The Flying Cat and all who helped by giving feedback on the DebianDog and Mintpup threads.

*** Changes and fixes from 2017-01-22 on *** 1.) Bug fix and changed GUI in "Desktop Manager" (desktop mode switcher (Openbox) In case a pcmanfm window opened, switching to another desktop mode could lead to problems (e.g. overlapping modes), To fix, install from terminal :
Or install via Synaptic, or install this .deb https://debiandog.github.io/xenialdog/Packages64/Included/xd-desktop-manager_1.0.0_all.deb 2.) There were reports from mikeslr and zagreb999 about included wifimanager 'wifibox' not connecting (specially when WEP is used) http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=941076#941076 When having similar problems, install frisbee:
Or install from frisbee .deb here: https://debiandog.github.io/xenialdog/Packages64/Included/frisbee_1.2-20160920_amd64.deb (or install any other network-manager, e.g. 'wicd-gtk' ) 3.) Bug fix for RemasterDog (script to remaster) (copy progress bar didn't show). To fix, install remaster-scripts version 1.0.2:
4.) Bugfix for when using encrypted savefile: If XenialDog64 is frugally installed and using "porteus-boot": https://github.com/DebianDog/xenialdog/wiki/Porteus-boot Replace initrd1.xz in the "casper" folder with the one from Here and encrypted savefile should work. 5.) Added to quick-remaster option to create ISO, see more here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=954454#954454 6.) Fix for xenialdoginstall script, see backi's post here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=954687#954687 And reply here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=954700#954700 7.) Fix for conky display of external IP, see here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=955953#955953 (Attachment: xenialdog-conky-fix.tar.gz) *** Tips and Tricks *** - For those having the problem booting to a blank screen, see rufwoof's posts Here and Here (also about using TV-monitor) _________________ Dog Linux website Tinylinux blog by wiak Last edited by fredx181 on Mon 29 May 2017, 12:37; edited 12 times in total |

Wow, you are getting to be a 'master' of these debian dogs. Will download tonight and get it set up tomorrow.......I must admit I'm kind of hesitant, though. I do not want to like it more than my DD32  Thanks, Fred! Everyone should try these DDs of yours, both 32 & 64..
[Correction: just your comment below, Fred, then re-read the description closely..It's Ubuntu-mini, and here I was thinking it was DD64. Sorry about that. Will still give it a try] Last edited by belham2 on Wed 18 Jan 2017, 18:24; edited 1 time in total |

No idea what you mean with 'WolfQ', but no, sorry. multisession to DVD is not supported. This is not a puppy, (not woof built, if you mean that) it's pure (mini) Ubuntu in fact, with some stuff added. Fred _________________ Dog Linux website Tinylinux blog by wiak |

Thanks Belham and you're welcome! It's very different from DD32, no xfce desktop, very similar to the earlier 32-bit Xenialdog (Openbox, tint2 and choice to use cairo-dock) Fred _________________ Dog Linux website Tinylinux blog by wiak |

Are you kidding?! I stayed up (it's nearing 1:00am) just to play with this, have been setting things up inside it for the past hour, and now you're telling me there's no way to save all my work/settings on exit (I booted Porteus Save)? Fred, Fred, FRED..FREDDDDIE MERCURY!!!!!!!!! 
Lol, oh well, serves me right for staying up so late. I should have just went to bed. Below is the pic I took. It booted well (I did porteus save on exit). Of the few things I did get to try, when I took this pic, I must note that in right-clicking to "Open With..." and choose 'mtpaint', the dialog box brought back after clicking "Open With..." was blank, and said that no programs at all are installed in the OS. What?? Thus I couldn't choose anything and had to open mtpaint by its own icon, then head to the pic in ~root. Anyway, will kiss this setup that I worked soooooooooo hard on, just kiss it all goodbye and try again tomorrow evening with the new ISO download. No worries, Fred, we all make mistakes.....but forgetting the doggone SAVEFILE utility...lol.....you're killing me here

P.S. Fred, it (the porteus boot save on exit) sure acted like it saved to the external USB hard drive? Did it? It looked like 20MB got saved, which is about right. Too bleary-eyed right now, will fire it all back up tomorrow and check. Am hoping that since I used porteus boot save on exit that it is separate from the savefile utility

My apologies , the only (yes, very, very weak ) excuse I have is that I never use save file (always folder or remaster).
Re-uploaded ISO, see edit in my previous post. Have fun! Edit:
Maybe you used save to folder, no save-file creation utility is required for that to work well.
Yes I noticed that (nothing to choose from applications) , don't know yet how to solve that, you can type a command though to open with (and set as default) from the tab 'Custom command line' Edit2: Ah, well the fix is very simple, move lxde-applications.menu to /etc/xdg/menus (for some experiment I took it out and placed in /etc/xdg), so from terminal:
So another mistake of mine can be added to the list, hope it doesn't grow more 
I added 'Beta' to the first post subject, because I think there should be done some more testing. Fred _________________ Dog Linux website Tinylinux blog by wiak |

And that includes me, Fred! (I'm just popping in cos saw your long-awaited XenialDog 64bit release announcement. I like Ubuntu-system because I find that many apps my family use are more readily immediately available in binaries for Ubuntu systems than for other Linux's. Some AV apps prefer expect pulse-audio, so I prefer to include that (and I tend to find apulse solutions problematic/unstable). So would be good if you could add a quick note to remind me the best way to add pulseaudio so it is there on boot. Glad you are keeping up the good work and have a number of new users keeping an active interest in the project(s). Belated Happy New Year by the way! William _________________ github mcewanw |

Hey William, good to see you! XenialDog64 probably needs some more polishing, feedback appreciated!
As zagreb wrote, "pulseaudio --start" is the way to go, you can add simple shell script in ~/Startup (but to install kde-baseapps seems useless to me, it will install a lot of packages not related to pulseaudio ) Another way (autostart for all users): Install also obsession (it will make *.desktop files work in /etc/xdg/autostart):
(you might want to take a look at the 'suggested packages' e.g. install pavucontrol or more) Then edit /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop and change the 'Exec=...' line to:
Alsamixer using pulse:
To make pulseaudio start at boot using a systemd service didn't work for me (tried several possible solutions from the web) Happy New Year to you also! Fred _________________ Dog Linux website Tinylinux blog by wiak Last edited by fredx181 on Thu 19 Jan 2017, 09:35; edited 1 time in total |
