All the above sounds very weird.... Sad

There were no woof-ce changes in delta 6
The Slackware Current changes shouldn't have affected Puppy booting!!
The initrd.gz should not have changed

Delta 6 works fine on both my test machines - desktop and laptop

Palemoon running under root worked fine when tested

Hmmmm - baffling!

@belham2 - are you using a savefile (format, encrypted?) or a savefolder?

Please share the output from inxi -Fxx so we can see if that gives any clues.

Here are some inxi outputs.

I have re-uploaded delta +6.....

Probably nothing to do with the above problems but:

I know not why but.... My weirdness at any rate is gone. On the same core 2 duo machine that hung consistently on updates yesterday I applied the new +6 delta, checked the md5sum as always, replaced all the files in the LxPupSc boot dir. with those from the new iso, put an untouched +5 savefile in there (doublechecked kernel version, /etc/DISTRO_SPECS etc. to be sure it was straight up+5, no cleaning or scrubbing), and rebooted to update. No hang at boot! Normal update, everything working when done. Rebooted once just to check, still ok.

I'll take it Smile

Thanks,

+6 to +7 updates on both the i5 laptop and the briefly problematic core 2 duo laptop went normally. Quick check of all functions seems fine. Posting from the core 2 duo now.
Thanks,

peebee · Posted: Sun 01 Apr 2018, 10:29 Post subject: LxPupSc-18.04T-k64

LxPupSc-18.04T-k64 is a 32-bit woof-ce 'testing' branch build with a 64-bit kernel (therefore only compatible with 64-bit capable processors)

LxPupSc-18.04T-k64.iso {devx} - (devx does not include kernel sources or headers) {kernel 4.15.15-lxpup64 sources}

iso md5 = e8edb38abf81e13d1b526392e9d8ac88

Delta from 18.03T is available

- kernel 4.15.15 64-bit built with GCC-7.3.0
(alternative 32-bit kernels 3.16.x 4.4.x & 4.9.x also available - all need firmware in the fdrv)
- Made from Slackware-Current as of Sun Apr 1 02:53:26 UTC 2018
- BUILD_FROM_WOOF='testing;63e7068d;2018-03-30 13:06:14 +0300'
- new "common32" repo used (see: /root/.packages/woof-installed-packages for details)
- 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 - slacko64 with the LxPupSc kernel and it's own devx is suggested but use the kernel sources above

Woof-CE build repository is: http://smokey01.com/peebee/slackocurrent/

Chromium, Firefox, Palemoon and Seamonkey are in the repository and installable via Internet -> Get Web Browser

The versions of the browsers as of 01-apr-2018 with their md5sums are:
chromium_65.0.3325.181+pepper_29.0.0.113 RUN-AS-SPOT :8e95b861dadcce24ea9d485f262a0e17 **NEW VERSION for LxPupSc-18.04**
firefox-52.7.3esr :6e0286a39274e6a161445bedfaf2e642
palemoon-27.8.3 :e7614b0d75698f5f3b363389f270c312
seamonkey-2.49.2 :20db44d39fe0baef6d8ad4a222f31bc7
firefox-59, iron, slimjet, vivaldi and min are also available

WARNING:

The icu update in LxPupSc-18.04 means that a tweaked version of chromium.sfs needs to be downloaded to replace the previous version.

All the other browsers seem to work OK.

+9T savefile based frugal grub4dos install on Fujitsu S661 i5 based laptop updated to 18.04 using the delta. md5sum correct, sound, video, SNS connection, overall operation seems fine. Sylpheed 2.0 ok, as is (so far as I can see) your slimjet_lxsc_spot_17.0.3.0.sfs. How would the chromium failure manifest itself?

Cheers,

All the other web browsers (firefoxESR, firefox59, palemoon, seamonkey, iron, min, netsurf, slimjet, vivaldi) work as expected - only chromium needs an updated chromium.sfs

kernel 4.16.0 is available to try:
