PuppyLinux distribution "xenialpup64-7.5"


Hello to all of you,

my greatest problem is my very bad English!!!

My native language is GERMAN, therefore I would be very happy to get answers in German. Otherwise I will try to understand your English answers.

I use the panasonic-tablet "Toughpad" with 16 GB RAM.
My boot-medium is a micro-sd-card in the USB adapter "LINDY No.43151".

After starting the boot-medium the screen shows:

*** xenialpup64 7.5 - Linux 4.9.58 [x86_64] ***
Waiting for USB storage.... done
Loading the 'puppy_xenialpup64_7.5.sfs' main file... copying to ram done
Loading the 'zdrv_xenialpup64_7.5.sfs'zdrv file... copying to ram done
Performing a 'switch_root' to the layered filesystem... done
Making the filesystem usable... done
Updating... network-drivers-list pixbuf-loaders gtk-icon-cache done
Updating unique hostname... done
Loading kernel modules...

After few seconds the screen becomes permanent black without an error message before!!!

I repeated booting several times with the same results!!!

Who can help me or can make a contact to an expert???


Many thanks in forehand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At the grub menu, before booting, select "advanced options" or "single user mode" or "rescue mode", something like those to boot the puppy to a command prompt with no graphics. It sounds like you need to adjust graphics settings in order to boot to a desktop. If you can boot to a command prompt, try running the command below and post the output, it don't have to be everything, but knowing what type of graphics device would be of great help. Company name and model number.
Code:
lspci -v | grep "VGA" -A 12
There doesn't appear to be too much information from Panasonic on the graphics devices used on these, but if you can also post the exact model of Toughpad might also help.

scorefan, willkommen bei LQ.
die regel ist dass alles auf englisch sein muss.
viele helfen sich mit translate.google.com.

der output von dir sieht eigentlich ganz gut aus, ich bin mir sicher dass du es gebootet bekomst wenn du ein bisschen mit den anfänglichen einstellungen spielst, wie im vorherigen post beschrieben.

the output of you actually looks pretty good, I'm sure you get it booted if you play a bit with the initial settings as described in the previous post.

Many thanks for your references.

I need time to test all possibilities, but the main problem is, that I don't know how I can modify the automatic booting process. Please look my first post!

The exact Tablet Model is:
Panasonic Toughpad, FZ-Y1 MK1, 20" 4K Tablet Performance, 16GB RAM
