Many years ago, I read that FORTH is not a programming language; it is a religion.

WoodLark

Thanks, bigpup. Rebooting had no effect so started checking the .jwmrc-tray and .jwmrc files line by line. Apparently, when I edited the template file,in /etc/xdg/templates, an extraneous "#" got typed into the file. Once I removed the "#", ran fixmenus and restarted the window m...

This is embarrassing! I am setting up a new install of Fossapup64. From the responses to a previous post of mine, I leaned about JWM Desktop overwriting changes to .jwmrc-tray. To circumvent this, I created a new file .jwmrc-tray-2 and included it in the template file for .jwmrc in place of the orig...

This worked for me: by MochiMoppel » Thu Oct 01, 2020 11:20 pm I think the cleanest solution is to change /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc Adapt <Include>/root/.jwmrc-tray</Include> so that it includes your customized and renamed file (e.g. jwmrc-grey :) ). Then run fixmenus and jwm -restart. The JWM...

It seems that we already went through this in this post:

You are correct. I had missed that thread (which got off topic and kind of ugly). The last couple post look like a solution though.

I edited .jwmrc-tray to add a tray at the top of the desktop. When I had gotten it looking like I wanted, I restarted JWM then I opened JWM Desk Manager to change the icon layout. I selected "Bare-No Desktop Icons" thinking this would remove all of the icons but leave the two trays. It did...

I totally fail to understand how simply showing system information on the screen can possibly scare anybody...!! :lol: :lol: Mike. ;) I can understand; they probably find all those statistics "too techie" and are afraid that puppy will be over their heads. Personally, I have never seen th...

Does anyone know of a way to import logins/passwords from Firefox or Vivaldi into Iron?

WoodLark

I was able to fix it by rebooting then re-installing wayland and its libraries. This probably is not the "best" way to fix the issue, but it does appear to have worked.

WoodLark

I accidentally removed "wayland" using the "Remove Builtin Packages" app in BionicPup64 (frugal install on hard drive) is there any way to gracefully recover from this stupidity?

WoodLark

My interest in trying librewolf is less from a security viewpoint than my annoyance with Mozilla. It seems tha Firefox constantly nags me to update to the latest version (if I do update, it only takes a short while before they issue another version and start nagging again). I used to be able to stop...

check that your conkyrc has these lines in bionicpup own_window yes own_window_transparent yes own_window_type override own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager own_window_type was set to "desktop". I changed it to "override", but still no change. Thanks...

Changing the wallpaper didn't help, but at least I now know the cause. Thanks for the explanation!

WoodLark

I downloaded the appimage, and copied my firefox profile to ~/.librewolf. So far everything appears to work.

I have a host computer (Dell Optiplex 7020, 32GB ram, BionicPup64) running Fossapup64 in a virtualbox. Both the host and guest have the same version of conky and the identical conkyrc files. Both also run compton. The resulting conky display is the same on both OS's EXCEPT the background is transpar...

the fact that Manjaro is on top perhaps also speeks to some linux community backlush against some of the bloat that distros like ubuntu are known for. I used Manjaro regularly a few years ago and really liked it. However, like many others, they have gone the systemd route which I refuse to follow. ...

Thanks, puddlemoon. Restarting the window manager did seem to solve the pinboard problem (at least for now). Do you know of anywhere I can read up more on how to use ydrv, etc?

WoodLark

There is a 64 bit version for linux on the Softmaker download page. Just download the .tgz package, unpack it to any location you like, then run their install script.

WoodLark

I have been using Puppy for a long time (I think I started with Puppy 3.xx, but really got into it with 4.2.1). I obviously am not as knowledgeable about how it works as I should be. Two things in particular: 1. Pinboard - Until recently I had not encountered any "pinboard" issues. A few d...

I tried to change the XFCE terminal colors using "Edit->Preferences". The changes get recorded somewhere because they show up in preferences if I close and re-open the terminal, but the terminal window itself never changes.

WoodLark

Thank you to whoever added solved to the title. I should have done that.

WoodLark

You are correct. I thought conky had started automatically at startup, but somewhere along the line, I must have restarted it manually without realizing it. Thank you for pointing out the error of my ways!

WoodLark

Editing conkrc appears to have no effect.

How is Bionicpup64 8.0 installed? Full or frugal? On what storage device? You reinstalled Cups? Exactly how did you do that? Did you try to re-setup the printers in Cups? Puppy is installed frugal on a 1TB hard drive. I used the "Remove Builtin Packages" option from the menu then re-insta...

Is the printer on the same IP address? Can you put the IP address into a browser for the printers web page? Thank you for trying to help, but that one printer is not the main problem. The problem is that my other printers disappeared, the remaining printer does not print, and, I can't access any of...

I am running BionicPup64 with cups version 2.2.7, and have been for a couple months with no printing problems. I have made no recent changes to my printer setup. I had several printers installed. Last evening, I tried to print a PDf, and only two printer showed up "Cups-PDF and HL-5470DW (serve...

Right-click on "Menu" then clicking "Preferences" does nothing.

WoodLark

Thank you for all the insight about LFS. Sounds like it is worth the effort. Like you, I have strong feelings about systemd. I wouldn't mind if it stuck to being an init system, but it is taking over way too much of the OS.

WoodLark

Dpup is a GREAT pup. Not only Dpupbuster64 is my main system I'm also following a LFS course in Virtualbox running Dpupbuster64 (and everything runs so perfectly it's almost a bit suspicious LOL )

How do you like LFS so far? I've thought about giving it a try.
