Why does Peebee's LxXenialpup boot from the cd and install frugally to a hard drive and 666Philb's doesn't when it's based on 666Philb's Xenialpup?

Are you trying to use the Puppy Universal Installer to do the frugal install?

But it's 319MiB, so I'm reluctant to spend the time to upload it, unless someone really needs it.

Note: The original "xenialpup-7.0.8.1-uefi.iso" file is good as a source for installing, it just won't actually boot when burnt to a CD/DVD.

That will be really appreciated. Currently I am running tahrpup no pae build from a USB drive (hard drive died a few years ago) on a Pentium M machine that doesn't support UEFI. Eagerly waiting for your ISO

Hi n00b-pup,

No need to wait.

All Puppies will boot on "older" computers which don't use the UEFI boot mechanism. Those Puppies whose ISO names contain "uefi" have included the signatures that are required IF the computer has the UEFI mechanism. On computers without it, it will just be ignored.

still on explaining how to install... madre de dios.. (damned !)
I am improving understanding English speech, because written is not spoken. One tool is Reverso, but only for short sentences. Google traduction will speak longer speeches. My goal is to record, to learn many times how to pronounce.
Recording tools : here we are
Precord is simply the daily tool to use
Bacon recorder has no pause, coming soon, on development
Mwavedit is more fore editing than for recording, but it can do it.
My message is for underlining that pRecord must be included in all puppies.
I hope my puppils will learn faster English than our Puppy users learn how to install

precord is ... installed.

Thank you for the info Mikeslr, downloading the ISO right now. Can't "wait" for the download to finish

The current xenialpup-7.0.8.1-uefi.iso can't be burned to a cd because of an unresolved bug of syslinux. The iso file can only be used for a frugal install on hd or for being installed on usb.

Hi,
I ran into the same problem. Luckily I was able fix this by partitioning my USB drive.

To solve the issue create two partition on your USB drive, one for booting your iso and one for your data/puppy-save file. First partition MUST be less than 2GB, you will be booting your puppy from this partition. Now make your USB drive bootable and you will be good to go.

I used unetbootin on windows to make bootable USB drive. Rufus and UUI deleted my newly created partitions I would suggest you to use unetbootin.

After many attempts I succeeded to build a remastered iso named xenialpup-7081-uefi-w.iso which I can burn and boot on my laptop. I installed syslinux from slackware 14.1 and copied to the iso isolinux.bin and vesamenu.c32 from slacko 6.3.2. I haven't a uefi machine to test the uefi boot but bios is ok. I share it.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9iMb4 ... sp=sharing

Code: Select all

root# md5sum /mnt/sda1/xenialpup-7081-uefi-w.iso
1d58d0abfb47cdf72ae35dd383cd6b0b  /mnt/sda1/xenialpup-7081-uefi-w.iso

EDIT: file iso has been reuploaded. I beg your pardon.

If anyone would like to help with ZestyPup - please send me a PM for a link to the .iso.....

There are 3 problems I need to solve before wider exposure....

- up-arrow key being interpreted as printscreen (keypad "8" with num-lock off is up-arrow)

- PPM uninstall has to be set to "Classic step by step" otherwise doesn't work

- (less important) windows buttons not maccish on 1st boot - change correctly if theme is changed to something else and then back to Zesty

Cheers

If that's an openbox pup is because of the relevant code in /etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml Is in all LxPups.
Comment out that block or change keybinding key to other that "0x6F" (check the code that a keyboard with print screen button emits)

Uncomment line 3 of /usr/local/petget/removemodes.sh and see what to log has (check log before you OK the failed message window)

Peebee,

This is just not a problem in Xenial, but also in your LxPupSc. I posted about it (and fixed it) the other day. Keys are mapped to specifc locations, and you can do what marvothal says (which I tried and does work), or you can fix it a better way by assigning the keys (i.e. 0x6F) on the keyboard to their correct "execute" functions. Best of luck, Zesty sounds like it is going to be nice!

Sadly no - ZestyPup is a traditional JWM / Roxfiler pup so no openbox....

Look at .jwmrc and .jwmrc-personal or sven key_config if installed.

Xenialpup 7.0.8.6, Xenialpup64 7.0.8.6

Dell 1535 laptop (BCM4312 wireless chip),
Frisbee wireless setup OK,and working good.
Thanks

Tried it on an old laptop (pentium M, intel video and wireless - circa 2005) and everything looks ok. Video, sound, wifi, touchpad etc.
However, it fail to detect that is a laptop so battery monitor did not autostart. OK after manually moving it to active. Also mpcputemp did not autostart although is in the startup folder. After manually starting it the first time was fine.
It would appear that monitor backlight control is nowhere to be found although other backlight functions are there (turnoff on lid closure, adjust when on AC).
Not sure if the kernel is too new or is udev or firmwere or acpi or...

For me it's the same. CPU temperature does not show on first boot or 2nd boot (just a blank empty space in taskbar) but shows up 3rd boot and after. I think it has something to do with needing to restart X after "something" happens but didn't look at it in more detail yet. Xenialpup taught me that my Pentium M's laptop fan usually comes on louder at ~70° to send the temperature down, and when I turn it on it's at about 35° then fluctuates between 42-72° depending on what I'm doing. Very interesting to watch

The app will not run if the pmcputemprun file is not present. Is generated in first boot.
Then the xenial version will not display if the the pmcputemprc file is not present. Is generated in the second boot (or X-restart)
On 3rd boot everything is in place.

To solve the first boot needs tinkering with the ISO/pup sfs.
To solve 2nd boot issue try the attached pet that was compiled in xenial from source.

To reproduce the problem and/or test "solution", exit to prompt, remove the /root/.config/pmcputemp directory and start X
