I did a frugal install on a USB-stick which had 2 partitions .I created a folder named dpupbuster64, and copyed initrd.gz vmlinuz puppy_dpupbuster64_8.0.0.sfs zdrv_dpupbuster64_8.0.0.sfs into it. Then I installed grub4dos on partition 1 with the following scripts:

Code: Select all

title DpupBuster64 (sdd1)
  find --set-root /dpupbuster64/vmlinuz 
  kernel /dpupbuster64/vmlinuz pfix=fsck pmedia=usbflash  PSUBDIR=dpupbuster64 
  initrd /dpupbuster64/initrd.gz
it worked, the system boot well, audio graphic network are good .I can do anything . when i run shutdown or reboot , system asked me to create a savefile , i created a savefile (dpupbuster64save-0731.2fs) on partition 2 . Here is the problem: when I reboot the system, it couldn't find my savefile which just created. All the things I changed before reboot are gone.

What's the problem? Can anybody help me?

By the way, please forgive my pore English.
I assume sdd1 is your boot partition (FAT or ext4) and sdd2 is the partition (ext4) where your save file is located.

Replace "PSUBDIR=dpupbuster64" by "psave=sdd2". During bootup the system while search dpupbuster64 at sdd2.
Thanks for your answer. I tried replace "PSUBDIR=dpupbuster64" by "psave=sdd2" as your said. But I got this error, it couldn't find puppy_dpupbuster64_8.0.0.sfs. the system couldn't boot up.

There is an another puppy in my usb-stick, it is bionicpup64 8.0, and the menu.lst can be seen below.

Code: Select all

title Puppy bionicpup64 8.0 (sdd1)
  kernel /bionicpup8/vmlinuz   pmedia=usbflash pfix=fsck
  initrd /bionicpup8/initrd.gz
It works well, all the things are good. And the save file is in the sdd2/dpupbuster64.

But this pup can't , I don't know why.

The menu.list is fine.
but are you sure you saved the dpupbuster64save-0731.2fs in the sdd1 partition?
Thanks for your answer. I saved the savefile in the sdd2, because there is not enough space on sdd1. so I chosed sdd2. I try to change to sdd1, but when the save program run, it never give the chance to change to another partition, it just let me change the folder.

I have installed Dpupbuster64 on a usb (uefi mode)
Partition one : sdb1 (FAT32) : all boot files including UEFI directory
Partion two : sdb2 (ext4) is containing the savefile in /

See below my grub.cfg file

menuentry "Shutdown" {

}

menuentry "Reboot" {

In my case Dpupbuster64 operates perfectly on usb stick. During boot-up the savefile on sdb2 is loaded.

I do not know what went wrong in your case. But it should work.

Testing: - dpupbuster64-8.0.0-uefi-beta3 issued 28/07/2019

#36 Post by ETP »

Hi josejp2424,

Thanks for this beta. I did encounter some minor issues including the need to deviate
from my normal boot codes using syslinux. Other members also seem to have had problems
with different boot loaders and I wonder whether there have been recent WoofCE changes to
Puppy's standard boot codes such as psavemark= ?????

I will report in detail on the other minor issues in a separate post but wanted first to test
PulseAudio with SSR which I installed via PPM.
A link to a video held on Google Photos follows and SSR was a joy to use with PA.
The video may optionally be downloaded (142 MB)

Hi josejp2424,

I agree that woof-CE has made great advances but sometimes fundamental changes are not communicated to our users.
The problem seems to be a lack of a readily viewable mechanism where new or changed behaviour can be detailed.
The obvious place for such announcements is the blog at puppylinux.com.
Forum member peebee I think, took it upon himself to post on 28/08/18 about important
changes to ROX-Filer in the testing branch of woof-CE.
http://blog.puppylinux.com/puppy-specif ... ing-branch

Install was a manual frugal from the ISO to the 3rd f2fs partition (sdb3) on a 16GB USB2 stick.
Boot was provided by a vesamenu entry on the fat32 boot partition (sdb1) using syslinux 4.04.
The working entry was as follows:

Code: Select all

LABEL dpupbuster64
MENU LABEL Dpup Buster64 Beta3  11/08/19
KERNEL /dpupbuster64/vmlinuz intel_pstate=disable
APPEND initrd=/dpupbuster64/initrd.gz pmedia=usbflash pupsfs=sdb3:/puppy_dpupbuster64_8.0.0.sfs pdev1=sdb3
My initial attempt with

Code: Select all

APPEND initrd=/dpupbuster64/initrd.gz pmedia=usbflash psavemark=3
booted but failed to find the save folder which had been created and populated.
Strange, as that has been working earlier this year when testing a variety of Pups

Items installed:

Notes:

In the above opera was a manual install of the official deb with a custom desktop file and suitable libffmpeg.so file in a
created directory - /usr/lib/x86_64-linix-gnu/opera/lib_extra

The cursor themes pack was installed over the top of the existing pack as I was unable to select any cursor. That did the trick.

A list of minor issues revealed by a ListDD system scan & examination of various logs is attached.

The bottom line is that IMHO, this is a great Pup with the potential to become an "official" Pup.
It is a pleasure to use with many novel features. :D

hi ETP .

Thanks for the tests, and the details offered. .
and hopefully in the next iso, the errors will be fixed.

dependency check in Dbuserpup64

#41 Post by blgs »

Please include a program to verify the dependecies of the installed programs.
Some .deb programs can be installed but won't work e.g. megasync.

By checking the dependency of a program, the missing files can be installed afterwards.

I think josejp2424 has installed pkg from sc0ttman. You can use that.
You can use it from the terminal!

if it's true,
ListDD should be installed
