I've swapped in the kernel from the latest Stretchpup, also from LxPupSc64.
Strange beeps persist upon waking from sleepmode...

Can I decompress .iso at the command prompt from the blue screen menu?

@westwest, what is the brand name and model of your computer?
@kuman extract iso on a working linux distro. Can you please show your bootloader settings to examine?

It's a Dell Latitude E6400.

mistfire,
have u changed s/t in the power settings? now my screen goes off in less than 10 mins and I've set it at 180 min.
not sure what's for the Intel backlight slide as well.

@kuman you mean intel_backlight? That was your backlight settings for you laptop. Power option GUI was overhauled

westwest · #948 Post by **westwest** » Thu 24 Jan 2019, 23:21

No led lights can be seen blinking upon wakeup.

I don't have backlight on mine.
The power app in XSlacko 4.4r24 doesn't seem to work properly. The screen's set to go off in 1 hr though it can only last for less than 10 min ...

@kuman11 I will check that. Also try to swap other kernel version of other pups

@westwest can you please try to swap older kernels such as 3.x and 4.17.x below

I have vmlinuz for Tahr Puppy, can I try it as an option?

mistfire · #952 Post by **mistfire** » Mon 28 Jan 2019, 01:52

@kuman11 yes. but dont forget to rename the zdrv file of tahrpup to zdrv_xslacko_4.4.sfs

kuman11 · #953 Post by **kuman11** » Mon 28 Jan 2019, 05:58

Do l also need the fdrv file?

mistfire · #954 Post by **mistfire** » Mon 28 Jan 2019, 05:59

@kuman11 yes it is.

mistfire,

how can I get to XSlacko's boot menu, with the option to RAM? now it sends me to the save right away.

westwest · #956 Post by **westwest** » Sun 10 Feb 2019, 21:37

Same behaviour, high-pitched beeps on wakeup, with various other kernels swapped in (both 3.xx and 4.xx),

mistfire · #957 Post by **mistfire** » Mon 25 Feb 2019, 00:00

@kuman11

Sorry for late reply
use this boot parameter in your bootloader to boot puppy without loading savefiles

Code: Select all

pfix=ram

@westwest
If you have spare time, could you please download boot X-Slacko made by @rg66 in your dell laptop then try to sleep and wakeup

New iteration of X-Slacko Slim released

Changes:
* Improved package manager
* Improved sfs loading
* Uses xorg fallback driver as default driver on first boot. (fbdev for UEFI system or with framebuffer device, vesa for BIOS or without framebuffer device)
* With autoconfiguration. X-Slacko Slim resets xorg configuration to default if there is a change of videocards or monitors
* Improved startup and shutdown.
* Ability to rebuild missing cache file
* A bug where cannot find and mount swap partition upon booting in UEFI is fixed

mistfire,
Are the Power options improved in the new one?

@misfire, I am a new user to X-Slacko but I will not whine to you unless it is necessary.
Just forewarning you. I know that not all software will work on all hardware. My hat is still off to you for your obvious hard work.

Sincerely,

Fishman
