I started with Linux as a whole on Tahr 6.0.5 .:. GIven the drop of MBR support I tried to boot using VirtualBox. I actually jinxed it once into booting successfully but most of the time I get this kernel panic while decompressing..

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:

Noble Puppy 32b ISO downloaded from SourceForge via 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.

Can I use different puppy saves with different versions?

As the noscript implies I want to use my current puppy save with a different version. I am unable to play (totally legally obtained) games with .sh extension because it either doesn't run or says no file directory, so I am assuming for now that smth is wrong with the version I am using (bookworm).
Thanks for any replies, I know I am lwk a dumbahh

In BookwormPup32, Firefox/Chromium's "save as" window fails to appear

The "open file" window works from the browser menu but fails if triggered by an in-page choose-file button! (which is very frustrating since I can't upload any files/images to websites!)

xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-gtk zenity are already installed. Light's window works fine (so it's not a JWM bug, right?)

Problem with booting without USB

So I followed this tutorial and used the same puppy version:
https://youtu.be/bi5UxoEVX_E?si=m2J7coI638PDc6Zb
And did everything correctly, but after taking out the USB stick and turning the computer on it doesn't boot. It starts normally when USB is pluged in. I tried using Grub4dos installer but it didn't changed anything. What can I do?
