Bionicpup64 8.0 CE

[escucha]

Yess!

Thanks watchdog and williams2.

Have now a suitable and decent VLC running (many complaint errors if run from command line), but enough for playing and what I want.

Sound OK setting alsa preference well, and found the mistery of 'file:///root/%24%40' editing the vlc.desktop item in usr/share/applications where line 144 reads: Exec=/usr/bin/vlc --started-from-file "$@"
cut the --started option, that's all.

And... a new step forward: How about VLC 3.0.7.1 ?

To be continued.

i dont think udevd is initialised properly in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit

there are no /dev/disk/by-id/ symlinks , despite the fact that there is a rule /lib/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules to create it, i also checked by putting my own .rules file in /etc/udev/rules.d and it fail to do anything for some reason on boot , you can fix this by doing a

Code: Select all

udevadm trigger

, after doing this all the missing symlnks and nodes in /dev/ appear ,
this leads me to believe that the udevd deamon is not initialised properly in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit?

[escucha]

Hi,
udevd deamon is properly initialised in my machine; /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, no need /dev/disk/by-id/ symlinks.
U can access via command line but udev is not implemented and udevadm is.
You need previously copy this commands as new to /bin folder and don't care about missing links. So udev is active as can see in Task Manager.

May be is not clean init but it works.

I need help with ffmeg. I want to stream to facebook but with the new changes in facebook live a ssl enabled ffmpeg is needed. Who could be in a position to compile one for me. I use bionicpup64 and lxbionic32. Reference - https://www.iiwnz.com/compile-ffmpeg-wi ... 9854577403

Just a heads up that wvdial has problems in Bionicpup64 8.0 CE. Neither the puppy connection wizard, nor wvdial directly can tether to my 3G cell phone. I get this:

root# wvdial
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.61
--> Initializing modem.
--> Sending: ATZ
ATZ
OK
--> Sending: ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2
ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2
OK
--> Sending: AT+CFUN=1;+CGDCONT=1,"IP","RESELLER"
AT+CFUN=1;+CGDCONT=1,"IP","RESELLER"
OK
--> Modem initialized.
--> Idle Seconds = 3000, disabling automatic reconnect.
wvdial: utils/wvtask.cc:499: static void WvTaskMan::do_task(): Assertion `task' failed.
Aborted
root#

I got online by setting up chatscripts file in /etc so I could use pon and poff. But I know I would prefer the connection wizard, suspect others would also.

Take a Shot has new version.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=84528

Version 1.15:
- added 'Discard' button to the preview dialog (thanks to MochiMoppel)
- increased the size of the preview image (1/5 -> 1/3)

-- EDIT: nevermind, I downloaded the kernel sources and compiled the l2tp module, works flawlessly.

-- EDIT2: I got also the .deb wireguard packages for ubuntu bionic fromthe official repository. In can confirm they work as expected, after compiling the module (the source will be in /usr/src after installing the .DEB).

I am trying to use a l2tp_eth "pseudo-wire" tunnel for my homelan, from Alpine Linux to a Puppy Bionicpup64 box.

I can't find the l2tp_eth module anywhere in bionicpup64:

root# modprobe l2tp_eth
modprobe: FATAL: Module l2tp_eth not found in directory /lib/modules/4.19.23

root# uname -a
Linux ImmClient 4.19.23 #1 SMP Tue Feb 19 15:07:58 GMT 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_6

Do I have to recompile ALL the kernel just to get this little module ? I also checked various .sfs with modules for this kernel 4.19.23, but no luck.

Since those modules are really tiny (few KB) , I wonder why they are not included by default. They are useful for a lot of situations.

Tried also the ubuntu modules, but I get the "wrong executable" error when modprobing them.

Also, any idea where I can find the wireguard module/package/binary ?

Thanks a million.

i've built a static build of ffmpeg with openssl enabled for you to try http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... x86_64.pet

hi mouldy

try installing the ubuntu version of wvdial from the PPM (type into find box)
if that fails you could try slackos here http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... 4_s700.pet

Same result. So maybe something wvdial depends on rather than wvdial itself? I guess nobody else uses wvdial for tethering or dialup for that matter, so I can live with PPP and pon/poff. That works fairly well and I created shortcut script for pon and link for poff on desktop so only have to click pon and wait until I get the little cell phone down in the tray.

hi mouldy,

maybe it's wvstreams that also needs changing ... try both wvdial & wvstreams from the ppm (make sure to get the ubuntu versions).

bionicpups wvdial & streams are old .pets, possibly from tahrpup

if still no luck, have a go with slackos ones again http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... cko6414.2/

I tried using System Info to get the system specs but it just hangs. In Task Manager lsusb is driving CPU usage to 16% and I couldn't even kill it.
System specs: Intel Ci5 8250U,Nvidia MX150 8GB RAM
Only the USB drive used to boot Puppy is connected besides a mouse.
Bionicpup64 8.0. I used Rufus to create the bootable USB.
Restart or Shutdown doesn't work either. I have to press down the power button to switch off.
Save file creation gets stuck always no matter the size.
Slacko Puppy 6.3.2 got stuck in video adaptor issue.

Brightness and Volume controls not working

If this is a laptop computer and you are talking about the buttons/keys on the laptop.
That is kind of normal, the option keys not working on laptops.
Bionicpup has programs for controlling those things.

I assume some operating system will boot and run OK on this computer.

This is the kind of issues you get if the install to the USB drive is just a bad install.
I would try it over fresh.

A clean new download of the Bionicpup64 8.0 iso

A fresh new format of the USB drive partition.
Rufus may do this for you.
If not, use a program that can format a partition.
Probably needs to be formatted fat 32 for Rufus to use it.

Using newly fresh Bionicpup iso, freshly formatted USB drive, and Rufus.
Install Bionicpup to the USB drive.

Any help?

Yes its a laptop specifically Acer Nitro 5. I totally forgot to mention it. Yes I use Rufus and Etcher. I have tried several times. Rufus reports everytime that there's no issue. I don't think its a bad download as in VMWare/Virtualbox it works well. Plus the MD5 checksums match.
Bionicpup32 while having the same issues with brightness and volume controls is a tad better as I can restart/shutdown reliably. Save files aren't an issue either. I would happily use it if it weren't for the 64-bit requirement for Chrome. I have attached a copy of the System Info from it.
Windows 10 is the main OS. I have tested Ubuntu 17.04,Lubuntu 19.04 and Bodhi Linux latest all of which work well.
TouchPad doesn't work in both x32/x64 flavors. The fn combo buttons don't work. UEFI with Secure Boot disabled.
My ancient Core 2 Duo laptop didn't have any problem with myriad Puppy versions. Of course I didn't get to test it with Bionicpup...

.
Are you saying that Bionicpup64 8.0, used in this way, on the exact same laptop, works with no problem?
Only if you boot from a install on a USB drive it has issues?

Yes. In a VM the same iso works well. But if I boot from USB using the same iso all sorts of problems occur. Even more surprisingly Bionicpup32 has fewer issues.

That seems to say something is wrong with the USB drive.

Have you tried to completely reformat the USB drive and do a fresh new install of Bionicpup?
Reformatting is the import part.
That should make sure fragmented file system is not causing this problem.

Just to try other possible causes.
Try plugging the USB drive into a different USB port.
Never know, check both the USB drive plug and the computers USB port for dirty or bent contacts.

Other Linux ISOs work just fine. Rufus anyways formats the drive everytime. I will try with a fresh download with a different USB drive. Thanks for your inputs.
