LxPupBionic 18.05 +8 running the 4.17.8 64b kernel updated to 18.05 +12, keeping the 4.17.8 64b kernel (used for mitigations) on the computer below using the delta. The standard Grub4Dos frugal install to SSD.

md5sum ok, video frame rate, lxtask reported cpu use at idle (1%) and memory use at idle (209 MB) both fine. Dmesg pretty clean. Regulatory firmware loading nag fixed by installing regulatory db as in upupbb and upupcc, the pet I use is attached below. Sorry I haven't chased the backend modprobe failures at all yet or looked at the stock kernel/pristine install wrt that yet. Everything concerning disks and media seems to be working perfectly.

# dmesg | grep -i warning

#

Intel_pstate 'powersave' and acpi_cpufreq 'conservative' governors compared. Both work about equally well on this hardware with this kernel.

No CD/DVD to test, Sylpheed and Slimjet 18.0.5.0 with profiles symlinked to the EXT2 data partition as usual. Shutdown and reboot clean. Remains a very solid pup with perfect lxde/pcmanfm integration IMO.

Thanks,

Hi @Marv

regulatory.db is included in all the builds HOWEVER 3builddistro-Z deletes /lib/firmware and all its contents assuming that zdrv (or fdrv) will provide.

Needs a woof-ce change to fix - https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/w ... ssues/1248

In the meantime, I do have a kludge which will fix new versions pro-tem.

Thanks for reporting.

I so very agree - simply fantastic Puppy, peebee! Everything working OOTB just as it should, with all of your great polish/tweaks/feature integration/etc - couldn't wish for anything more.

Updated my LxPupBionic 18.05 +16 to 18.05 +21 on the Fujitsu S761 i5 based laptop. As in upupbb, I use the 4.9.134 kernel from upupcc. Brief use but dmesg, video FPS, sound, SNS connection, sylpheed & Slimmie from SFS all fine.

Marv · #982 Post by **Marv** » Wed 09 Jan 2019, 02:33

+21 surprised me. After some days use, I found a 'bug'. Evince in +21 segfaults on very large pdfs, 150Mb or more for sure. I don't know the exact breakpoint. Tax forms, image heavy segments of a service manual about 10Mb are ok, the whole manuals segfault consistently. Happens in a pristine +21 install, in an update from +16, with the stock kernel and with 4.9.134 from upupcc. Evince in the current upupbb, upupcc, and IIRC LxPupSc64 and LxPupSc doesn't. I've reverted to +16 and it's fine there. Posting from +16 now. Just opened the 174Mb electrical manual with Slimmie running and it's ok. This is on my Fujitsu S761 i5 workhorse, 4Gb ram etc.

Hmmmm - works fine for me.............

Have you:

- connected to the internet?
- rebooted and created a savefolder / savefile?

Both are essential prerequisites.

If you have - need more details of your install and what exactly you mean by "doesn't work" - what do you see?????????????

Six days or so on LxPupBionic 18.05 +28. As usual, frugal Grub4Dos install to SSD on the Fujitsu S761 i5 based laptop. First a pristine test, then running an update from +23 using the 4.9.134 kernel from upupcc. As usual, solid as bricks. Both system checks and daily use perfect.

Thanks,

Running great here, peebee...

Sound, video/Youtube on Light, WiFi - all good. An awful lot of Pup in just a ~290 Mb iso (and folks complain of Puppy bloat... sheesh!)

One small note; Running the included conky required the additional installation of libreadline5_5.2+dfsg from the PPM (complained of missing libhistory.so.5, I believe. I just guessed on the libreadline package... and it ran.

).

Thanks!

Enrique -- I don't know your particular reasons for looking for 64-bit LX Bionic, nor the machine you are using, but do you realize that there is no performance difference between 32-bit and 64-bit unless you have over 4GB RAM?

I agree with you. And from my test Xenial x86 is my preferred. But to move to the latest Ubuntu LTS I need Bionic. I am testing and learning at the moment with LxPupBionic-18.05+4 x86. And for x64 issue I am trying Bionicpup64 8.0 CE. But I get really confuse some times, I am custom to WM LXDE.

Subito Piano wrote:... unless you have over 4GB RAM?

Not really my Laptop has 8GB, but LxPupBionic-18.05+4 has a pae kernel. That should allow my x86CPU to manage the full 8GB.

Why 64 bit? Well I come from Win7. And refuse to move to Win10. I have no Idea how people get to used it. So I am at the moment trying to stop using Windows at all. Problem is I do use a few resources that requires Win7. Some are x64. I have setup Wine in LxPupBionic-18.05+4. Most of my programs from Win7 do work fine. But I have a few x64 that I can not make them work. For that I need Wine x64 that requires a x64 Linux base.

I did play with Woolf CE building Kernels a few moth ago. I had a need to hook a Satellte TV USB Tuner and used a very old Laptop that had no HDD. So Puppy Linux made the day. That is how I started with Puppy.

Now I will be happy If I get guidance with Wolf CE in orther to build an LXDE Full Puppy, Again any help is appreciated.
