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.bigpup wrote:If this is a laptop computer and you are talking about the buttons/keys on the laptop.Brightness and Volume controls not working
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?
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...
