Raspberry Pi Buster Raspup

- Lobster,

When you do get access better point out this is for Pi2 or later, Pi 0 & 1 need the other .img and -swap must be inserted in the filename.

Cheerio,

Being blocked from the puppy wiki wikka by some ninja tool (again)

tried to post this on the Puppi page based on Duds script ...

Maybe someone else can add it? ... or maybe me later ...

**How do I install Raspup onto a SD/micro SD card?**
Run this script on the downloaded .img
%%(language-ref)
#!/bin/bash
dd if=/mnt/home/RaspberryPiInstalls/raspup-8.2.0-831a3e7cc-4gb-ext4nj.img of=/dev/sdc bs=1M
sync
%%
replace my /mnt/home/RaspberryPiInstalls with the path to your own .img file and /dev/sdc with the path to your SD card

I am blocked out from the wiki by the ninja-guy too...

I use fatdog64 802 and I wonder if the version of the utility 'dd'
recognizes the option '1m' which I copied from the official Buster Raspup site

http://raspup.eezy.xyz/notes.php

Terminal output shows a strange error
dd: invalid number: ‘1m’

I wonder if capital 'M' is needed.

Code: Select all

# dd bs=1m if=/root/raspup-8.2.0-831a3e7cc-4gb-ext4nj.img.zip.extracted/raspup-8.2.0-831a3e7cc-4gb-ext4nj.img of=/dev/sdc
dd: invalid number: ‘1m’
# dd bs=1M if=/root/raspup-8.2.0-831a3e7cc-4gb-ext4nj.img.zip.extracted/raspup-8.2.0-831a3e7cc-4gb-ext4nj.img of=/dev/sdc

4000+0 records out
4194304000 bytes (4.2 GB, 3.9 GiB) copied, 652.708 s, 6.4 MB/s
# sync
# 

Here is the official instructions...

If you have extracted the image zip file then you can use dd to transfer the image to the card.

Follow steps 1. and 2. above
Establish the drive as above
Run as root or prefix the command with sudo:
dd bs=1m if=path/to/raspup-(version).img of=/dev/MYDRIVE
sync

Hi,
I've just found out the hard way that my Firefox download was put into temp. Why?
How do you find it? Where do you put it?

Also, can someone spell out how to run this puppy in a USB stick.

(Apart from that Mrs Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?)

Regards, and thanks for all the hard work. Tony.

- yes, upper case M

If you have plenty of memory for large buffers you could try 2M or 4M for a quicker copy.


tony
The file should have been moved out of temp once download was finished - either you had not yet given the DL process a valid destination or the process failed at some point - check the file is complete before you use it.

USB boots:

Raspberry Pi 3's and late 2's can boot from USB, search for the one-time-use command:
program_usb_boot_mode=1
and you will find plenty of assistance
- Caveat: I have not tried this with Puppy but it should work.

Pi4's cannot yet boot from USB; we are told this ability, along with booting over a network, WILL be added in a future firmware upgrade. When the firmware is available the process I described upthread will add the ability to your existing Pi4.

What you can do now is to put a minimal boot on an microSD card and symlink almost everything else to whatever devices you have mounted, That way you get nearly all the speed advantages for only a little extra complexity.

Cheerio,

Raspberry pi 3b+
Review:

I had the same problems installing the image
as I always do when I start with a SD card
that is already partitioned into two partitions with different
file systems. gparted never seems to work properly.

The best solution I have found is to go to a windows computer and
format the card as fat32. Then I can go to a linux computer and use gparted to create two partitions .

I dragged the files to the 650MB partition following the instructions on
http://raspup.eezy.xyz/notes.php

GUI
Grab a sdcard or micro-sdcard (whatever fits your pi) and make 2 partitions, the first FAT32 of size 650MB, The second fills the rest of the card. Format that to ext2, ext3, ext4, f2fs, whichever with Gparted Partition Manager.
Make a new directory where you downloaded the zip file and extract the files in there. Copy all the files with drag'n'drop to MOUNTED FIRST partition of the sdcard, being sure NOT to copy the zip file as well
Unmount the card, remove from your card reader and poke it in the pi, power up and enjoy.

Thanks Don... I haven't gotten back around to experimenting with the 3b+ that I picked up.

Hi Dud,

thanks for your help. My small first partition was full. I resized it using Gparted in raspbian.

Another question! As Raspup runs in ram, is there any advantage in moving the system onto a usb3 stick?

Regards. Tony.

[don570]

is there any advantage in moving the system onto a usb3 stick

When apps are stored in RAM rather than on a disk the speed improvement
is very noticeable.

The problem with the raspberry pi 3b is that it is limited to one gig of RAM
so only modest operating systems can use this feature i.e. some versions
of puppy linux.

If you're short of memory, yes, but it'll be slower.

'though only Pi4's have usb3 - iIrc.

@ 01micko

Hi 01micko,

are the firmware updates, provided by raspberry.org in order to prevent cpu overheating, already integrated into Raspberry Pi Buster Raspup?

kind regards

[don570]

firmware updates, provided by raspberry.org in order to prevent cpu overheating

There was a good article about thermal improvements in issue 88...

@ don570

Hi don570,

thanks for the hint. I know the mentioned article, and I start from the assumption, that the updates which are provided by the Raspberry foundation are part of the Raspbian package refreshments.
However, I so far did not find a way to control the cpu-temperature while running the Raspberry Pi 4B (CLI command; GUI?)

My question relates to Raspberry Pi Buster Raspup. Does 01micko's OS pay attention to the firmware updates of the raspberry developers?

kind regards

Hi,

we need a Bug page. I downloaded Solarium and tried to cut the fat.

However there were too many files on the drop down screen and so no buttons to click.

Apart from that all's going well.

Regards Tony.

Hi!

Will a raspberry pi 3B+/4 boot into x with a 5:4 monitor ratio (1280x1024@60) using a DVI-D to HDMI cable?

[spotted]

@ linux28
Debian-Pi-Aarch64 puppy?
Is there a 64-bit puppy?

There's not going to be a 64 arm from rasbian for a while, there's a 64 kernel floating around in the Pi wiki, but the apps still work in 32 bit 'userland', that's where we are now.
If Micko could show us how to stuff the 64 kernel into Raspup we might be able to use firefox and vlc.
BECAUSE firefox 64 don't crash like 32 firefox when I try to load an add on like adblock. I dusted off my crappy odroid 64 and updated firefox to 70 blah blah, and it don't crash. Firefox must support 64 better than 32 bit.

Any one knows how to get 'you2pup' working, I only see a black box flash by, cant see where to put what video format to select in the app.

@FeodorF
Turn your cable around 180 and have the sparks flowing hdmi to dvi and put this in config.txt
Pull the cable out if the TV starts smoking.
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=35

DVI-D and HDMI are similar standards so it should work.


Try putting in config.txt file....

Code: Select all

hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=4

This worked on my insignia tv

I was able to get omxplayer to (mostly) work. The font doesn't work
and the keyboard commands to quit can't be used. I'll try to find the fault.

Therefore only use with short video clips.

command alt F1
command alt F3

will stop the playback with force
Note that this is same version that I installed in my version of fatdogarm and the font worked.

Instructions: install the pet file then a right click menu will show on
the movie file.

(See next post)

I'm posting this just to encourage mick or somebody else to compile
omxplayer properly.

Note that when I use the terminal to launch the app I get a font error...
but it does show the video without stuttering.

I have taken everything VLC out of Raspbian and used steps code to run it as spot in spot and it wants to kick in. 'owner spot. 'group spot' BUT

# ./vlc-wrapper
Cannot determine unprivileged user for VLC!
# ./vlc
VLC is not supposed to be run as root. Sorry.
If you need to use real-time priorities and/or privileged TCP ports
you can use ./vlc-wrapper (make sure it is Set-UID root and
cannot be run by non-trusted users first).
#

End of experiment.
If micko cant get vlc running, how the hell would I get it to run.

[Brown Mouse]

Still running this on a daily basis,minimum 12 hours a day on my RPI 3b without any issues.

I have been using a swap partition up til now but decided to do a comparison up against a swapfile.
The pupswap tool in Puppy Setup wont allow me to select a destination to create a swapfile?
I used an alternative Swapfilemanager 4.6.pet in the mean time.
