@lizardidi :- The usual way to deal with this is to install the " Spot2Root " permissions changer. I cobbled this together a long while ago - around 2017/8 - when we first had to start running Chrome as user 'spot'. I originally built it into the Chrome SFS package I was offering at the t...

Tried this portable chrome yesterday... Facing one minor issue: When using Whatsapp web, unable to attach any documents or file.. When try to do so, it says "the file you uploaded has 0 content" and hence attach failed. First i thought its because of the spot limitation, but no matter wher...

I recently acquired a netbook with intel atom N2600 processor, 2 gb of RAM, 320gb HDD, and intel GMA3600 integrated graphic. I tried a lot of more modern puppies, all booted to a blank black screen. However, the old pup (Precise) can boot to a working desktop. Bookwormdog64 (frugal installed) can bo...

@lizardidi First, I had a look at the wps-office .deb, and I think you would be better off installing it (right-click > Install .deb) because of possibly required missing dependencies (for me these are libglu1-mesa and libopengl0). Also the .deb has postinst and preinst scripts that may take care o...

I use Uextract and Packit. Unpack with Uextract, repack as sfs with Packit. Note that uextract normally creates an extracted folder. You need to open this folder, select all items inside, right click any item and run Packit. Tried the method you suggested.. Unfortunately Packit only can pack 1 file...

Hi wiak , thanks for the input. I have to agree Apt2sfs is a great tool, aside from the PADS tool in puppy that i frequently use. It helped me create numerous .squash apps that i needed with a few key stroke. However, apt2sfs have its limitations. Yes (thanks @wiak ) apt2sfs is a way, entering packa...

Hi. May i ask what is the steps to create .squash form a .deb file?

In puppies, there will be various methods and tools for this, but i can't find one in debiandog.

Currently using DD bookworm 64 bit version.

Thanks all.

Thanks Ddog Team! I tried the script, the BookwormDog (JWM minimal, without firefox-esr) is very slick and responsive on my ancient core 2 duo desktop with 2g ram (copy to ram).

Hi stevie pup , I experienced the same issue with conky reporting ram usage as much as 1.2G at desktop startup. My BookwormPup64 is frugally installed with frugalpup in a 32Gb pendrive. Using the default fresh installed packages without applying fix with the older procps as suggested by fredx181 , m...

Thanks guys, successfully booted Fossadog and posting from it now.

The "from=/Fossadog/casper" will not boot, instead use "from=/Fossadog" and it booted beautifully.

Now i have multiple pups and dog in same pendrive.

Thank you all, for helping me out.

lizardidi

Thanks mate! I just realised my mistakes in the first post. However, after updating both. Same error still occur. What do you mean by change directory, is that a new technique? I found the topic here: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=3843 After some more messing around, my grub.cfg looks...

Hi, as per the title says, I have a pendrive created with frugalpup that contains tahrpup64, dpup-stretch32, and fossapup64. This pendrive is able to boot in both mbr and UEFI mode. I created 3 partitions, ie a FAT32 (300mb in size, for boot), FAT32 (~20Gb in size, for storage of personal/misc files...

lizardidi

Thanks all for helping me and also all the valuable inputs. My problem is solved for now so i will mark this topic as solved. . At least i am able to search applications in the archived repo. I also agree that if things get too complicated, its better to use a newer and modern puppy that is suitable...

lizardidi

After reading and tried to understand all the inputs here, my question is: 1. After a puppy is "end of life", how do i install an application? For example, i wanna find a rss feeder, which i not yet created a sfs in my collections. What can i do, apart from trying to search in puppy forum ...

Thanks mikeslr for the time and very detailed sharing. Also thanks to dancytron and amethyst . I rarely use PPM.. I obtained/made most of my needed applications into sfs some years back.. Also compiled some simple applications.. and been since using them without even update my puppy save file except...

So here it goes... Days after days... months after months.. years after years passed.. My last PPM update was like.. last year??

Have you try Seamonkey or Slimjet?

Seamonkey is based on Firefox while Slimjet is based on Chrome.

Both run considerably well on my 2006 laptop.

downloaded libreoffice7.1 32 bit version on Dpup stretch.

unable to launch due to missing gcc libraries.

lizardidi

in fossapup, pkg is already built in.

you can automate the installation of all downloaded .deb packages of an app by using pkg in fossapup64:

cd /path/to/downloaded/debs

pkg install *.deb

thats it, wait untill all installations complete, and launch your app.

Hi, redandwhitestripes I can understand your frustrations. I faced the same struggle when my company bought a new batch of Windoze 10 machines. Soon, i realised those new PCs will automatically update and shutdown themself, broke hardware drivers, and bloated with unwanted junks. Instead of letting ...

Not too many of us using these Raspberry Pi computers. what does a Google search come up with about overclocking them?

Currently, the only raspberry pi i have is the $5 raspberry pi zero running on cpu governor 'performance'. It feels much snappier compared to the default 'powersave' governor.

I think you pushing it to hard in terms of ram and (mainly) cpu.After all is a ~200mA (max)device. indeed, but it is a lot of fun trying to figure out the limits of this tiny board. *update: using a freshly installed raspup on pi zero, i loaded chromium.sfs, created chromium profile, set to no scri...
