Puppy Linux users — how far have you pushed it?

I’ve been playing around with Puppy Linux and it’s wild how light it is. I’m curious how far other people have pushed it. What’s the craziest thing you’ve managed to run on it or fix when it broke? Any weird tricks, optimizations, or custom setups that made it run like a full system? I want to know what Puppy can really do if you push it to the limit.

Slow mirrors

Anybody recently tried to download bookwormpup64 for ibliblio or its mirrors? I understand if it's slow like 200-500kbps, but 16kbps? And in all mirrors, too.

Has anybody else have this problem or just me?

Old laptop not booting with Linux


Specs:
- SAMSUNG RV415 E300 1.3GHZ
- 4GB RAM
- Desired OS: PUPPY LINUX (VOID PUPPY 64)
- It was before WINDOWS 7

When I boot it, goes directly into BIOS, without pressing F2. It does appear the HD in the info in BIOS, so I guess it does recognize it.

When selected HD to override boot, it displays the following message: "REBOOT AND SELECT PROPER BOOT DEVICE OR INSERT BOOT MEDIA IN SELECTED BOOT DEVICE AND PRESS A KEY"

I passed on the Void Puppy 64 installation phase (32-bit) and it keeps displaying it (I thought before it was a Linux Mint problem with the hardware, turns out it is not).

Still alive?

I have this usb drive with puppylinux installed on it, like 5 years ago. Do today decided to boot with it. Works still fine on a modern pc too. Then the moment I managed to connect to the internet (wifi usb dongle with no driver needed), using the default browser managed to connect online. I was totally invisible as everything was running in the ram. Then while trying to download package, a simple ddrescue. My hack did not last longer as suddenly, the entire USB ports was disconnected or it seems disabled ( a command from the web?). Keyboard, mouse, everything.... But still the screen is on and I can see all my files but with no input now... Lol.

a problem with sudo nvidia - settings - libEGL warning

so now when i do this - sudo nvidia- settings i get this

libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate

libEGL warning: MESA-LOADER: failed to open swrast: /usr/local/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (search paths /usr/local/lib/dri, suffix _dri)

(nvidia-settings:7249): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 18:46:52.949: g_object_unref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

libEGL warning: MESA-LOADER: failed to open swrast: /usr/local/lib/dri/swrast_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (search paths /usr/local/lib/dri, suffix _dri)

i saw someone resolving with some code.. for eg - here

I was able to solve this. In case anyone else runs into this same issue, it was because I did not have the tegra-egl libraries loaded in my container. All that was needed was to add echo "/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/tegra-egl" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/nvidia-tegra-egl.conf && ldconfig to my Dockerfile and I was all set.

and here --

was able to resolve 90% of the driver issues by moving the /usr/lib folder to /usr/local/lib as many Xorg 3d dependencies overlap these nvidia files.

The coreplayer2 driver used /usr/lib (which is default in the installer) and it manually deleted the files created by Xorg 3d via tce.installed, however there are many files, not just 1 file (1 file, 2 symlinks of the same file ) as he used it.

So I found that it would be much easier to move to /usr/local/lib and I had no problems, quite the contrary, many problems were solved.
One of them was DRI2 (DRI2: failed to authenticate (caused on mpv, nvidia-settings and others)) which gave priority to libEGL from /usr/local/lib created by the libEGL.tcz package.

please kindly excuse me for a long post.. and i am in tinycore linux , asking here because very less help from there..thanks .

Can not boot Noble Puppy 32b from live bootable.







Noble Puppy live bootable does not boot.



My PC hardware:

MB : G45T AM2 V:1.0

CPU: Intel Core2 Quad and cooling fan

RAM: DDR2 800 SDRAM 4G (2x2)

PSU: UFO AB450 (450W)



My USB stick:

Generic 8gb USB2.

Puppy Linux:

Created by:

Live bootable was created with USB Image Writer in Cinnamon 22.1.

The issue:

The live bootable did not boot and a message saying:

(Minimal BASH-like line aditing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible completions of a device/filename. ESC at any time exits.)

grub>_ (the _ is a live prompter)



Seems that it demands grub. Do not know what to do. Help, please?



Thanks.
