StretchDog
Users of StretchDog and its variants might want/need a kernel upgrade from the stock k4.9.0. Here is an easy way:
1. Go here and get a DevuanDog ISO.
2. Extract it and locate the four files initrd1.xz, initrd.img, vmlinuz1, k-4.19.0-5-amd64.squashfs.
3. Drop them into the "live" folder of your Stretch install. The first three will overwrite the current versions.
4. Reboot.
---------------
There have been reports of Puppy users trying to install various Puppies onto emmc drives. The boot fails with an "SFS file not found" error. I can confirm this with some (but not all) emmc setups.
FWIW, Fred's Dog builds have always been able to boot from an emmc drive for me.

Nice to see you back.
Here are some tips for working with cheap Windows "cloudbooks".
1. Some of them have bleeding-edge wifi devices that need a change to PeasyWiFi's config. Set DRIVER=nl80211.
2. Most on-board speakers are dreadful. Get a little Bluetooth speaker with an Aux input and plug it into the headphone jack. Even with mono output, this will give better sound.

Hi Fred,
I found some ffmpeg commands online and modified them to suit my needs. I can happily record my desktop using the ffmpeg script attached but with some warnings. Could you refine it?

Kernel 11
@fredx-181
Is there a kernel 4.9.0-11-amd64 update available for StretchDog?

Hi sszindian, here's a tar.gz archive containing k-4.9.0-11-amd64.squashfs, initrd1.xz, initrd.img, vmlinuz1.
https://github.com/fredx181/StretchDog/ ... d64.tar.gz
Extract in 'live' folder (replacing initrd1.xz, initrd.img, vmlinuz1, better make backup of the original files first) and reboot.
If it works out ok you may want to uninstall the older kernel from synaptic.

Wlanmaker
Hi people,
I'm trying to setup a wifi access point using Wlanmaker on stretchdog 32. The wifi adapter am using is Intel PRO/Wireless 4965. How do I enable master mode? The article here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/MasterMode says it can be done.
"For ipw2100/ipw2200, unfortunately there is no way to use them as AP, but this can be done for ipw3945 and ipw4965, maybe ipw2915 too, which are pretty good cards anyway, using fully open-source iwlwifi drivers, but it can't be done with old Intel drivers with closed microcode."

That's a separate issue from wlanmaker. Possibly try
Do you have the WiFi card working in "regular" mode?
Code: Select all
rfkill unblock wlan

Hi rcrsn51
Sorry for taking long to post a reply. I was busy checking some threads on the Ubuntu forum and from what I gathered the ipw4965 can't be used as an access point in linux distros. I guess I just have to look for a AP capable wifi adapter.

Virtualbox in Stretchdog
I've just installed virtualbox in my stretchdog machine but when I try to run it I get the error in the attached screenshot.

Hi gabtech,
I don't know how you installed vitualbox, anyway, first uninstall it, then this should work:
Add virtualbox.list to /etc/apt/sources.list.d :
Add Oracle VirtualBox public key:
Install gcc make perl linux-headers virtualbox-5.2 :
Taken from WIKI: https://wiki.debian.org/VirtualBox#Debi ... Stretch.22
(the way to install from stretch-backports didn't work for me, btw)
EDIT: Just found that above won't work if you boot with kernel version lower than 4.9.11 because "linux-headers-$(uname -r)" is not found then (not anymore in Debian repository)
I'll make a "package" for 32-bit 4.9.11 kernel later.

Here's a tar.gz archive containing k-4.9.0-11-i386.squashfs, initrd1.xz, initrd.img, vmlinuz1. (for 32-bit)
https://github.com/fredx181/StretchDog/ ... 386.tar.gz
Extract in 'live' folder (replacing initrd1.xz, initrd.img, vmlinuz1, better make backup of the original files first) and reboot.
See above post, for installing virtualbox it's required to boot with the 4.9.0-11 kernel, when booted with older kernel, it doesn't work.
EDIT: when booted with kernel 4.9.0-3 (as is on latest Stretchdog ISO) you can also load the devx: https://github.com/fredx181/StretchDog/ ... 6.squashfs
Then as last step in previous post (install only virtualbox-5.2) :

Synaptic
Getting the below when trying to preform a system update from synaptc package manager... is something wrong or are they out of business for our StretchDog ?
