Installation of a browser .deb package or through apt should trigger auto-setup-spot, which should auto-configure it to run as spot without you having to do anyhing. Maybe it's disabled or broken in BookwormPup64? EDIT: yep, apt update && apt install chromium in a clean 10.0.7 installation installs ...

@Governor The Puppy you're using probably doesn't include man pages, maybe only this horrible tldr thing that gives only very basic information and only for some things

dimkr

@fredx181 True, and this output won't include files from .pet packages, the adrv SFS, etc'. It's not great but it's pretty much the only tampering detection tool available.

dimkr

d-pupp By default - no. This is a good place to hide malware: for example, an executable with the same name as your browser. IMO users that want to place executables in their home directory rather than /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, etc' should configure things themselves. I prefer not to risk users that don ...

I ran dpkg -V . It tells me I have 30,149 items , most of which are "missing". I know that many of those missing are additional languages which I never use. Some appear to be copyright notices and changelogs. There are some odd entries. I have no idea what the "c" means, nor the question marks, or ...

I don't see a ~/.local/bin in $PATH or Spacefm?

It doesn't exist by default, you can create

Updating package versions beyond those in Ubuntu 24.04 might be a bad idea, for 3 reasons. First, Ubuntu 24.04 packages that depend on Python expect the version shipped in 24.04 and updating it can break them. Second, Canonical backports security updates to old package versions (the update is ...

@dimkr I have a request. A /root/bin folder. I think it would be handy for a lot of people to keep their scripts organized. What do you think?

Why add a new directory instead of using the standard ~/.local/bin?

I was told that Puppy was considered safe, even though the user has root privileges by default. Considered safe by who - by the person who told you it's safe? Safety is not boolean, it's a scale between 0 (guaranteed dangerous event) and 1 (complete safety). Some people consider 20% chance of their ...

Go with a 64 bit Puppy because it will give you more variety of software you can install, less issues and better performance at the cost of slightly increased RAM consumption and a bit of extra disk space. The savings from using a 32 bit Puppy held together with duct tape are simply not worth it ...

Building 11.0.173 right now. If the build succeeds and you update to this version - watch out for boot failures, especially if you haven't set pupsfs= and psave= . (I think I'll add boot time warnings if they're unset, because this activates search on all partitions and slows down boot. I don't see ...

dimkr

@Duprate Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Fixed.

Maybe the difference can be also explained by sparse files. Sometimes, a big file with big regions full of 0 will become a sparse file, it depends on how the file was created, enlarged or copied. Some file managers show the "apparent size" (i.e. 4 GB if it's a 4 GB file full of 0 bytes) while some ...

Bootflash in my 11.0.x builds is currently artificially limited and only shows a list of removable drives. It's a development build, and that allows testing using a flash drive installation without the risk of accidentally wiping an internal drive. To force installation on an internal drive and skip ...

@d-pupp Thanks, should be fixed in the next build

@d-pupp Can you add loglevel=7, then save /tmp/bootinit.log to some partition once boot fails and share this file? I've been unable to reproduce the issue you're seeing.

dimkr

@d-pupp

1. Do you have vanilladpup/vanilladpupsave on sda1?
2. Do you have vanilladpup/puppy_vanilladpup_11.0.*.sfs on sda1?
3. pdrv= is unsupported, use pupsfs= (+ read the docs)

dimkr

@d-pupp Without any details like blkid output, the kernel command line and logs I can't help much.

I really doubt X is about to vanish any time soon. Same here, but it's a question of cost and making smart investments. Any new X or JWM specific code you write now will die together with X.Org, or become useless when people who still use X.Org stop using it (for various reasons, including DEs or ...

rockedge I think I'm familiar with this one but the main problem when trying to use this in Puppy is maintaining backward compatibility with Puppy's non-standard menu categories. Every time I had a problem with Puppy's old menu generator written in C, I chose to patch and fix it. I'm no longer ...

dimkr

Most Puppy variants contain packages built manually on somebody's computer, making it impossible to confirm that the package was built from the original source code, without any malicious changes. You can sign the kernel and an enroll a MOK and there you have your Secure Boot capable Puppy, but that ...

@d-pupp I don't fully understand what you're trying to do and how exactly, but altf1 is a very simple tool that injects an alt+f1 key press event. Nothing more.

dimkr

AFAIK Fossapup64 has a heavily modified PPM that's very different than the one used in other Puppy releases. See https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/w ... ssues/2186 and https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/w ... ssues/2590, nobody bothered to fix this since 2021.

@d-pupp I'm sure this waybar crash will get fixed easily and quickly if you submit a detailed bug report with instructions how to reproduce it.

dimkr

Do you know off hand if labwc support multiple menus See man labwc-menu and search man labwc-actions for ShowMenu. Regarding stability of waybar - I haven't experienced any issues. It only refuses to run if the configuration files are invalid, so maybe try to run it from a terminal - it will spit ...

Could it be that Ventoy is causing the problem? What could I use in Linux to run an iso on a computer instead of Ventoy to see how it reacts? Considering the complexity of Ventoy (many dependencies, old and patched), I'd say any attempt to isolate the problem must begin with eliminating Ventoy. ISO ...

dimkr

AFAIK Ventoy applies some patched to components like GRUB, so identical or different GRUB versions may lead to wrong explanations for this problem.

dimkr

d-pupp If you only want to add more items, you have enough examples in ~/.config/waybar/config.jsonc and can achieve this using copy-paste and some common sense. If you need help, man waybar-custom should work, and you can find examples in https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/wiki/Configuration ...

11.0.170 will:
1. Bump the kernel to 6.10.x
2. Add a save/no save prompt to pupsave, when creating a save under PUPMODE 5: it will save the current system state (you'll need to reboot to start using the created save; no save/no save prompt at shutdown)

So if you specify psubdir you can not have the savefolder anywhere else, as it can be done with Bookwoem, 10.x etc?

Right now - if you use psubdir, everything (SFSs and saves) must be under psubdir (not necessarily in the same partition).
