...and I am library-less. It says I need version 244 but we have 243: udevadm --version. It requires "pcscd" and the main app needs libnotify.so.4. Needs libu2f-udev, lsusb tells me this is: Yubico.com Yubikey 4/5 OTP+U2F+CCID Would anyone be able to give me a clue how to move forward with...

Thank-you for this. "rox /usr/share/applications/fatdog-service-manager.desktop" opens the manager albeit with a long pause, and the file itself is identical. I am comparing each file with another machine running the same now. I accidentally booted into a savefile on public open wifi then ...

is now in Control Panel INSTEAD of "Manage Servers and Services". It does not click. It also appears in the desktop right click to Control Menu=> #8 System (as the same unclickable choice). I searched these forums for these terms and they don't come up and didn't Google. To my knowledge no...

I know the name and password of the network, and WPA_GUI does it in a snap due to the checkbox "hidden". I can't do it in Network Tool (Control Panel). Problem: I cannot get WPA_GUI to manage my second, powerful USB card because I have to use USB_Modeswitch running at boot for it to get re...

But one of reviews on Amazon said it didnt have sound with linux though it ran faster with linux. They didnt mention which linux they used. Just curious if you had sound with Fatdog. Or it is like linux on some former Chromebooks and you have lot hoop jumping to make it work? Here is what I can tel...

I priced a Panda USB dongle I bought three years ago for $5.99USD. It now costs $40-70 (my wireless got corrupted by Android Studio again). I thought I'd share this cheerful albeit dull bit of fortune with you rocket scientists in these expensive times: I found a HYUNDAI 14 Inch Hybook 4GB RAM, 128G...

you could try installing androidx86 or chromeos in qemu, as a virtual computer! It might work. I was trying to run VooV, but it wouldn't run, also didn't run on wine. Is your app available as a chrome extension? Thanks...I guess I will have to experiment with this and report back. I installed Chrom...

I have need to run a specific phone app (Camscanner---I know I am happy using our many other pdf tools, too: this one is being mandated on me). Has anyone in our Fatdog community used any android emulators happily (I searched to little avail)? I managed to help a family member use Android Studio las...

8. Click an icon WITHOUT releasing the mouse button; drag the icon just a bit - you will NOT drop it anywhere - just drag it a bit as to initiate a dragging action, then release your mouse button. This action is equivalent to the drag-drop steps you described in your message. Dragging is enough to ...

chiefengineer

@chiefengineer, yes! very good understanding, and your realization that the two clipboards aren't synced automatically, and that one needs to run a suitable app with that specific feature, if that's what one needs. On a final note, the two clipboards exist before and outside the applications, clipm...

"Urxvt can't use the C-v / C-c clipboard - only the "other one". There's lxterminal in Fatdog's repository but I don't know if lxterminal provides C-v / C-c support." As a footnote to this conclusion it dawned on me this is precisely what I have been doing that "half fails&q...

chiefengineer

Thanks...that was pretty comprehensive. I can see the issue is I have one foot in each world and trying to make things unified without discerning. I don't know what Wayland is, but when I use Clipman the interface often asks me if I want to "paste selection" vs. "paste clipboard"...

chiefengineer

I use command line about 80% of my computer life. I don't suspect things are corrupted...seems like I have had these issues for about a decade. My complete embarrassment is asking, but I have grown old and feel no shame anymore. Does any one have these issues BUT me: 1)About 30% of the time I cntrl-...

chiefengineer

Updated: got another new disk as a replacement and issue resolved.
Moral: even when there is no scratch one shouldn't assume there isn't.

chiefengineer

Thanks for the direction: 1.4.3 is out so I found an ancient half-dead Acer laptop that drives the stereo around my pool to set region on...same problem in same place. Sought out actual standalone DVD player in the neighborhood and found disc sputters and chokes at about the same place (pretty much ...

chiefengineer

I have never set the region on any of my dvd drives, and now am attempting to play a dvd on VLC which fails a third of the way through a 3.5 hr movie. The sr0 drive says "7.6Gb udf". I threw an mplayer command line at it and one of the VOBs a third of the way through says libdvdread chokes...

Greetings!

Bravo!

chiefengineer

Thank-you. Enjoyed that. Using another machine right now where it starts from the menu...says it is 107.0.5304.87 (Official Build) (64-bit). Will try again with hopefully a full download and the command line. I was getting a download of 536-bytes--archive with empty folders and one script. Thought i...

chiefengineer

Tried three times today. Says "installed" and nothing...no folders/files in /.config or spot and seemingly a very small txz coming down into root. Gslapt said "installed" with a scant few folders (after I went thru both control panel and the menu). Perhaps this will resolve itsel...

chiefengineer

FYI, I subsequently was able to compile Python 3.9.13 with devx and no save file. It threw a lot of errors but installed and ran. So if anyone wants to run a dirty system I have that to report...I tested it with a number of scripts and from what I could tell nothing critically bad happened...looked ...

chiefengineer

Had no idea this existed, thank-you. Will give it a shot. Hopefully we will
not run afoul of the single instance rule...my kiddies are kind of out of
control Python-ites...hope it is not per IP but we have VPN's anyway.
Thanks.

chiefengineer

Just an inquiry about my favorite distro: has anyone easily gone beyond our current Python3 version? Should I just attempt to compile one? Has anyone done this easily or am I going to be "stuck"? We use a command line utility here every day religiously that we can no longer upgrade to work...

chiefengineer

I have this 19 yr. old Emachine laptop that has great peripherals (especially the Ath9K wireless card): 2650e Athon and 2GB RAM (it says 1738Mb avaliable to Linux...wonder why). It runs 812 with the humongous initrd and Seamonkey with UBlock legacy and screams. It also has a busted screen and keyboa...

chiefengineer

Thanks, I am on it...and yes, I had installed this to the USB key using the small initrd for legacy bios.

chiefengineer

Yes, the MD5 checks out and it is on a USB key that boots other machines just fine. It also fails on a second USB key and slot. It seems (and I am purely guessing) that the initrd loads, then vmlinuz on top of it exceeds some memory capacity. Other than that, this machine has a Broadcomm wireless ca...

chiefengineer

So I took some actual photos (unfortunately the flash comes on) of the screens. One shows vmlinuz loading then trying to load initrd...the second shows the near-immediate result: a long list of attempts to write and populate followed by kernel panic. acpi=off resulted in the same This machine is an ...

chiefengineer

Yes, the problem is booting at all. Kernel panic then a black screen real fast.
Will try to capture it but very difficult. Purpose of upgrade is to run driver
not contained in kernel version of 8XX<12 that boots perfectly. Thanks for replies;
I will continue to work on this.

chiefengineer

I run create_ap on 810 with a slightly older Dell Vostro. It supports quite a network very well. I got this new, cool MT76 (powerful Mediatek USB dongle) fully supported by 812. Thus, I tested 812 intending to up my bandwidth. Alas, kernel panic. Every iteration of every option (small initrd, UEFI, ...
