Here's also a "package" for the 5.3 backports kernel with aufs included (built with aufs-dkms_5.3), contains 5.3.0-0.bpo.2-amd64.squashfs, vmlinuz1, initrd1.xz, initrd.img . https://github.com/DebianDog/BusterDog/releases/download/v0.2/kernel_buster-backports_5.3.0-0.bpo.2-amd64.tar.gz Fr...

I wonder if we can still disable iPv6? You can disable IPV6 but in some cases (i.e. using VPN service which masks IPV6) it will block your connection. Check it and make your choice. 1. Open with a text editor as root the file /etc/sysctl.conf (or create a new .conf file in /etc/sysctl.d directory a...

0d:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Limited BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)

It is supported by firmware-brcm80211 (non free).
After installation reinsert the module: https://wiki.debian.org/brcm80211

Are you suggesting that all non-intel firmware is non-free? Of course not. We are talking about wifi adapter drivers but the nonfree firmware issue is greater than wifi drivers, even linux. Android is an open source project but its use is not really free because of proprietary devices firmware. Fre...

@enrique Try to install firmware-iwlwifi with free drivers and check it. If it doesn't contain your driver, then you have to buy a free driver compatible wifi adapter (suggested) or install the non-free package (non-suggested) firmware-misc-nonfee. After the installation of non-free packages your sy...

Good job Fred!
Version 5.3 is enough for me trying to compile a sparky kernel v5.3.6.

@ enrique
Thanks for the standalone aufs, i'll give it a ty.

@fred

About kernel compilation:
The last sid aufs-dkms is at v. 5.2 (https://pkgs.org/download/aufs-dkms). Have you found any newer version 5.3+ from Antix or Devuan?

HEHEHEHE I know I am getting old and paranoid. It is the true. "..dinosaurs became extinct because they couldn't adapt..." Previously I was compared to a old toaster. Yes crazy and old. That I should be happy with, as it do not required software upgrades. Funny people in this forum. Peopl...

Edit: @mauros As long as BusterDog is a puppy, I know I have many correcting me. Well we are in "murga-linux.com/puppy" forum. Now the real question is: What is the real "Puppy Linux" definition? I see MATE is a Desktop Environment. I guess I will stay with LXDE. I'm too newbie ...

@mauros Yes I am one of those win10 refuges. I meet BusterDog and so far it has met all my requirements. So I plan to stick to it. I like to keep only one Linux system so that I can master it. But so far I have test 10th if not hundred of different puppys. I am willing to look at another if it is a...

@mauros I see you love JWM. I do not. Rox, I do not like it neither. Thanks God he created colors to chose from. I am a fan of LXDE, I know I came from lame Win. I came from Irix (Silicon Graphics unix) and i actually prefer i3 desktop. Those task/panels etc are for people came from windows and we ...

JWM is an excellent choice for building a stable lightweight desktop, as it's written in c lang and uses a minimal amount of RAM. That's why it's the default WM for compact linux/BSD distros/OSes, like Puppy and DebianDog. The problem occurs with its menu construction. JWM configuration provides sta...

Thank you zagreb! A 32bit version is in plans, but not before stabilizing the current 64bit version. The next release will be multi-module. The kernel modules in a separate squashfs module, the basic system in another and the desktop in another one. This will ease BusterDog's kernel update and any u...

The login method changed from getty to slim login manager. See edited instructions on first post.

For me it has to do with the big picture of linux/foss. I use it, i improve it, i help other people. I feel sad every time i learn that a linux project became discontinued. I'm happy to see people who care about Puppy, it's a project i'm watching for years and i want it alive and kicking. Barry's ha...

Iso is updated with all bugfixes. There's another module available to download, 01-firmware-nonfree.squashfs containing the debian packets firmware-linux-nonfree and firmware-misc-nonfree. Gvfs removed and replaced by chpupsocket script. Local disk media appears normaly in pcmanfm but network mounts...

What also works (just for info what I did): Uncomment this line in /home/puppy/.startup : # chpupsocket $USER:$USER & It changes ownership of /tmp/pup_volume_monitor_socket to current user, so that pup_volume_monitor works (after restart X) Then I removed from synaptic all gvfs packages, since ...
