that particular piece of firmware was missed out of the build accidently. it was then added back in through a quickpet update.

i should of asked if you clicked on bionicpup updates in quickpet first

Interesting... I also tried busterdog and like bionic is missing that firmware as well.

what is the main difference between bionicpup and busterdog? (besides the obvious )

bionicpup is built from woofce and bionicdog is built using a debian build system and fredx181 has made it very similar to puppy

You and others like you all are much of what makes puppylinux awesome!

sincere salutations~

I have uploaded 'bionicupdate'.
This is a replacement for '/usr/local/quickpet/bionicupdate'.
To use simply copy this script to '/usr/local/quickpet'.
This script removes any FrugalPup files from 'bionic64fix.zip' before it is applied, if a FrugalPup sfs file is mounted.
To save itself from being overwritten it always removes '/usr/local/quickpet/bionicupdate' from 'bionic64fix.zip'.

I have uploaded 'bionicupdate_prod'.
This is what the script could look like if it were included in 'bionic64fix.zip'. i.e. there would be no need to remove '/usr/local/quickpet/bionicupdate' from 'bionic64fix.zip'.

I have uploaded 'clear-save_3.sfs'.
This is a slightly improved version of the 'clear-save' utility that can remove all FrugalPup files from the save-layer.
While the new 'bionicupdae' script stops the clobbering of a FrugalPup installed as an extra sfs file, 'clear-save' is still needed to remove any FrugalPup files already in the save-layer.

The process for using FrugalPup v20, would now become.
1. Download 'frugalpup_20.sfs' and load it as an extra sfs file.
2. Download 'clear-save_3.sfs' and load it as an extra sfs file.
3. In a console, run the commands:
clear-save -mic
fixmenus
jwm -reload
4. Download 'bionicupdate' and copy it to '/usr/local/quickpet/'.

You should now have a working FrugalPup v20, and it should continue to work after "Puppy Updates" is run.

Just for interest:
I've also worked on an update solution that produces a 'ydrv_bionicpup64_8.0.sfs' instead of updating the save-layer.
I have a working script, but it has difficulties when used with overlayfs instead of aufs.

The interesting part is that I now have some code that can replace an existing system sfs in-situ, in an aufs stack.
Using the same technique, I should be able to directly update the 'puppy_bionicpup64_8.0.sfs' file, in-situ.
I might play with that, sometime.

There is an updated version of Deadbeef posted in this topic:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=118611
Fixes a bug involving resizing of DeaDBeeF 0.7.2 in BionicPup64.

Deadbeef v1.8.2 pet package

@gyro - interesting - I do that manually - make desired changes, save as save file, open it & trim unnecessary files, save as adrv_x.sfs (because it loads last). Edit that .sfs for minor tweaks. Used the same adrv for ScPup64 19.04, 19.09, 20.01. It's why I've been playing with extra drv.sfs files.

working here ... possibly something else you've installed doesn't agree with it
in fact the bionicpup64 video was done with that sfs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qibxDA_Kxdk

Hi

So many thanks to Fabrice_035 I now have network shares running but I cannot start VLC from the main menu.

If I run VLC in a terminal, it says it was not meant to be run as root.

I have tried the Puppy pet which installs an SFS of VLC and KDenlive but this does not work either. I have tried the SFS someone has uploaded here and no joy either.

So I am bit confused about how to get it working?

this is the fix that is usually applied when installing vlc so that it runs as root. you can either type it into a terminal or create a new script, paste it in and run it.

Hi.

Just to mention.

Since the beginning I'm using pgprs connect to connect to the web using a 3G modem. In the early days I wrongly thought I would have a gprs modem, but no, it's a 3G modem. Still using pgprs connect.

Any other internet connection programs didn't work for me and the 3G modem.
