Hi trister,

Then it may be that /etc/environment has been overwritten for you somehow (additional library path is set in there).
Assuming you use porteus-boot (as I think you do):

Output for me from contents of /etc/environment (mountpoint) in main 01-filesystem.squashfs:
So it should be that also in /etc/environment (from /)

Thanks for the info.
I'll check it when I return home.

I Haven't tried this yet but I have some more squashfs files ..
As usual if you want to try them, just put them in your live folder. If you don't like them ,just delete them

3 terminals I tried :
lilyterm_0.9.9.4+git20150208.f600c0-5_amd64_deb.squashfs https://1fichier.com/?qtb28edpbx
roxterm_2.9.5-1_gtk2_v02_.squashfs https://1fichier.com/?mstl6eu2g6
lxterminal_0.3.0-2_amd64.deb_ok.squashfs https://1fichier.com/?fqya0ysguw
All 3 are nice but for now I prefer roxterm.

And another dual panel manager like Norton,Total,Double commander (Double Commander is better I think but this is a nice alternative)
mucommander_0.9.2_all.deb_v02_.squashfs (need java) https://1fichier.com/?dsoyyo2jft

Also, newest palemoon :
palemoon-27.6.2.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2_v01.squashfs https://1fichier.com/?5ptg3wtnp4

These should also run in UbuntuDogs

New version of "upgrade-kernel" (v1.0.3)
The included in Stretchdog kernel 4.9.0-3 can be upgraded now to 4.9.0-4 (previously wasn't possible).
I'm not sure what the Debian policy is, do they keep 4.9.0-4 (and only upgrade that to newer version number) or will the next upgrades be 4.9.0-5, 4.9.0-6 etc...
In case of the latter, probably upgrade-kernel needs an update again, to support that (then the script needs different aufs and squashfs kernel modules downloaded from github)

Install from Synaptic or with apt-get from terminal: Fred

Thanks again Fred for your work.

Could this kernel update be applied with just changing initrd, vmlinuz and maybe adding another file eg 02-filesystem.squashfs to the "old" StretchDog64?

Not exactly sure what you mean.
Yes, if you mean running latest upgrade-kernel in newer Stretchdog and use new created initrd, vmlinuz and 02-filesystem.squashfs made from /lib/modules/4.9.0-4-amd64/ on older Stretchdog
Indeed that should work.
But why not install and run latest upgrade-kernel in older Stretchdog ? (that works, just tested, and I'd recommend that to have the linux-image package registered by dpkg)

Yes , thats whats I mean. I want to get the files mentioned from Frugal Installation A of StretchDog64 v2017-10-10 and put them in frugal installations B,C and D of the same StretchDog64 v2017-10-10 in other PCs.

I'm not using package manager much. Most of the programs I use in debian repositories are old versions anyway.
I don't know what other advantages I would have if I run manually in all of my installations a kernel update.

OK, but still I advice for such essential package as linux-image* to have it registered by dpkg (to properly use possible future upgrades by running upgrade-kernel)

I Can't launch 3d applications.
not even glxgears
I suspect that it has something to do with AMD Polaris drivers.
The GPU is an RX-560 (reported as an RX-460 on hardinfo).

Have you installed mesa dri yet?

see http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 414#965414

This https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install- ... etch-linux seems to say that there are a few other things to install too.

Thank you very much! It works now.

I forgot to mention it seems that polaris GPUs are having font scaling issues that makes it nearly unreadable.
the Icon fonts are readable because I set it to 28 on the look and feel menu but makes the font of applications like synaptic way too big . the Openbox settings appears to have no effect.

Hi jangelelcangry, for JWM, the only way I know of (and works) is by editing ~/.jwmrc, search for <Font>
and to make 28, change e.g. to: Edit: for Synaptic (gtk3 application), edit :
/root/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini, e.g. Edit2:
@ALL, Recommended to upgrade the kernel, see here;

Well. It seems that the driver fixed all those issues.
I'm impress how smooth the webpages are now.
despite there's some noticeable screen tearing and I cant run YT @4K (DAMN YOU DRM!) It runs really nice and it can run 1080p60 fine.
Thanks dancytron fredx181 for your help and good job fredx181 with this distro.

Hello,
One of the things that I missed from JessieDog to StretchDog and DebLive stretch was the ability to mount .DAT save files (from other frugal installs) to my current loaded OS.
I used it very much when I was doing migrations or wanted to clone the browser profile folder between installations. The specific association was missing from StretchDogs.

I implemented a simple solution for me by just adding 2 files to 'root/.local/share/applications/'

If you are using another user eg puppy you could copy the files in your /home.puppy/.local/share/applications/

I've attached the created squashfs file that I use. It is compredded in gzip so you must decompress it.

Don't think so, from what I tested in the past, they conflict with each other.

Build them both as Squashfiles -- loaded on the fly?

Hi All,

Just wanted to mention that the AppImages of digikam 5.9.0 and Openshot 2.4.1 appear to function under StretchDog64.

This version of digikam appears to be a rather complete photomanagement and editing application.

This version of Openshot adds several new functions, apparently among them a fairly easy way to turn sequential photos into video rather than a slide show.

Haven't done much with them beyond opening the applications without incident.

You can find them here:

That would probably work if you didn't want either to become active automatically at boot time. Otherwise, for example, /etc/init.d/frisbee (I think is the script name) is automatically run during boot should frisbee be installed.
