This second post will have current issues that people have reported
This is a useful memory aid for me and also allows people to see current issues without reading the whole thread.

Issues
installing sfs from spot can break system .... Revolverve page 32
palemoon seems to have issues with some intel drivers ... see http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=1016897
Acer R11 Chromebook keyboard doesn't work ... vtpup page 53
Acer R11 Chromebook eMMC drive not visible to boot process ... jd7654 page 55
xorg memory leak .. possibly to do with particular hardware
rox-filer memory leak possibly contributing to the xorg leak

First attempt to save in savedir at first shutdown after installing some softwares: I read at screen:

Code: Select all

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at xxxyyyzzz
A trace of the bug follows. But after hard poweroff and reboot all seems ok and I have a savedir. I have modesetting (intel graphics). Thanks for the new pup.

hi watchdog,

i've had this on one of my computers as well. the kernel has zswap enabled which compresses items in memory that would normally be written to swap, and i think that may have something to do with it.

i'll recompile the kernel for the next release

666philb,

Good to see you posting a new Puppy. :!: :!:
I was wondering when you would offer something new!!

Testing begins :!: :D

Edited to correct my error of attribution :)

Installed my usual stuff. All running without a hitch.

Was really glad to see this 64 bit bionic. I'm confident that 666philb
will fine tune this creation into another solid piece of work! Looking
forward to testing and using bpup64.

Thanks,

Art

Grub4dos just got an update.
Now V1.9.4
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=51697

Looking at the release notes.
It is probably the same as the V1.9.3 in Bionicpup.

Hi 666philb, for completeness, the attached two icons should be placed in /usr/share/doc/findnrun/ (without the fake ".gz" extension). Equivalent symlinks are OK.

Changed kernel, installed proprietary Nvidia driver,updated PPM and installed applications.

Can't add video or audio addon repostories but will play local mp4 videos.
Very useable on this under powered atom processor (taking a screenshot caused the processor useage to spike)

Thanks.

Forgot to mention: connected to a 32" TV via hdmi, audio also via hdmi

I've just started exploring Bionicpup64. Converted the 32-bit Compatibility SFS to a pet and installed it. I assumed ldconfig via console had to be run so did. I always run Wine. Wine-portable 3.3 (available on Virtualization thread of Additional Software Forum) installed, run and applications under it ran. Installed radky's FbBox 5. Held my breath as it took a while to setup. But seems to be functioning well. Configured PPM and installed xdotool; then ITSMERSH's PaDS 1.14. Posting from builtin Palemoon.

Psync wasn't working properly. It did its report without actually fetching
and correcting time. Tried the one from ppm but it did the same thing.
Both were version 2.1

I quickly found a Psync-2.6.pet on ibiblio which is working ok.

Hello 666philb

Thank you for this, I should be able to retire my highly updated remaster of Xenialpup64 7.0.7.

With BionicPup, on my Braswell N3150 box, I have changed to the intel driver which also required a change of kernel.
I have removed compton from startup because it was causing tearing with media playback
I have installed Gnome-mpv 14 and libmpv 27. That combination is working well.

Now I need to install tvheadend which is always hard to get configured to start with.

Thanks again.

This is general information to everyone posting.

This is in beta release and testing is very much needed.
The testing needs to be on what is actually in this release iso.

Statements about changed kernel, added this program, disabled this program, etc....., is no real help.
If you do not specifically and in detail, give reasons why you did this.
There is no way in knowing what is wrong with this release of the Bionicpup64 iso.

Testing really needs to be on what is in the Bionicpup64 and nothing else. What does not work is what we need to know.
Any specific details on what you found to fix it, if you did fix it.

If you need to change the kernel, for some good reason.
Why?
Details about what is wrong with the kernel already in Bionicpup64.
Example:
I have changed to the intel driver which also required a change of kernel.

This is not enough info.
Why did the Intel driver not work with the kernel in Bionicpup64?
What kernel did you change to?
Your hardware specs is always helpful!

Also, how Bionicpup64 is installed and on what device, is a clue to possible issues.

Thanks for all the help you can provide in giving this Puppy version a good testing and bug fixing!!!

Nice job on this 666philb, thanks you.

I did a manual frugal install on 32GB Sandisk USB Flash, for my Dell Latitude 3350 Core i3-5005U with 8GB RAM using UEFI.

I initially had no sound, I ran Sound Wizard to get the sound to default to the Laptop's speakers rather than HDMI. After some reboot/save cycles during setup, I now have no sound. Running Sound Wizard again, I no longer get any test sound playing when using Sound Wizard. I have no sound from local stored mp3's or via web browser.


I have posted the output from the report.

I did a manual frugal install to hard drive with save folder for Bionicpup64 on my Dell Optiplex 745 USFF desktop.

I am using a save file. Package Manager has been updated. Palemoon is working with the Intel video drivers. So far so good. Thank you for this.

Hi All,

Computer specific and adaptions here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 17#1005017

Usually, applications created/built to function under an OS will have advantages over other versions of the same app. But, IMHO. obtaining those advantages has less priority than having a suite of functional applications which will, at least, enable you to accomplish any task. So, basically, I'm just trying to find out to what extent significant work will have to be done to have Bionicpup64 as functional as Xenialpup64: Which existing applications work, which don't.

Perhaps related to having installed FbBox, reboot presents a slight problem. FbBox has a "Save2Flash" icon on the desktop which functions well. But I've also set the Automatic PupSaveInterval to "Never, Ask at shutdown". At shutdown/reboot, the GUI appears with the two choices "Save" "No Save" with "Save" being highlighted. If I do nothing, it will shutdown/reboot without Saving in 60 seconds. Ordinarily, pressing the "N/n" key will do the same. That doesn't work.. I can, however, Tab to "No Save" and press the Return/Enter Key to relatively shutdown.

What worked:

Via PPM installed a functional LxTerminal. Fredx181's Firefox Quantum Portable Worked. LibreOffice's 6.0.1.SFS worked. The 64-bit Gimp&MyPaint.sfs available here, http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... es-tahr64/ functions.

What didn't work:
Avidemux-xp-portable did not start under Wine-portable. Perhaps a different version, or the Linux Version.
Neither Openshot 2.4.1 nor 2.4.2 AppImages ran. Neither did the KDEnlive AppImage -- May have to build an Openshot SFS or install/try flatpak. So far, no easy road to video editing applications.

Mike Walsh's Google-Chrome looked like it was starting, then crashed. For many, the absence of a Chrome/or Clones is a major turn-off.

More, later. And perhaps some details regarding whys and workarounds.

Your hardware specs is always helpful!

Also, how Bionicpup64 is installed and on what device, is a clue to possible issues.
Thanks a lot, bigpup, for the guidance.

I'm not much of a tester, being essentially an old newbie (who sometimes wonders in what ways a big new distro might benefit me).

Downloaded it, did frugal install to sda1 (128GB SSD) on this Dell E5410.

Posting from the included PaleMoon.

Have not yet saved or rebooted.

That's all at the moment.

Is there a list somewhere of what to test?
Dell E6410: BusterPup, BionicPup64, Xenial, etc
Intel DQ35JOE, Dell Vostro 430
Dell Inspiron, Acer Aspire One, EeePC 1018P
