Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

For info: Both download links from @PipzDex above work for me (without being logged in). Yes, they work fine for me, logged-in or not. @Wiz57 :- Now I'm in a better mood (the sciatica is giving me hell this morning; makes me short-tempered, I'm afraid :lol: ), I doubt bigpup was having a go at me p...

Perhaps a less confrontational method, instead of denigrating someone's chosen service, would be to contact them directly and tell them of problems you are havng downloading something from their service, perhaps make suggestions as to sharing preferences that their service may have that are not the ...

Yep, sluggish here in OK, USA as well. At one of the other forums I moderate we have had a huge spike in automated bot spams, running into the hundreds of spam posts per hour. I and the other moderators are overwhelmed with the volume of spam as the one centralized CMS we once had was shutdown when ...

In case anyone is interested. root# ./UpdateBrave Update brave-portable to latest version... Could not find the version installed Continue installing latest version anyway? Are you sure to continue installation? (Enter=yes) (Y/n)? So the update is not working exactly as intended, but is otherwise w...

Does the forum server maintain a "robots.txt" file? If so, it could be edited to block AI bots like ChatGPT for a time period and see what the access times are with them blocked. If there was no difference, could remove the blocks...if there were a noticeable improvement, keep them and ref...

I don't know if it is even possible, but to me it seems we need to have some idea of how many new users "find" Puppy Linux on DistroWatch. I know from my own experience that DW was NOT where I went searching for something to replace the old Slax 6.1.2 I had been running on my old Acer Aspi...

Thorium is based on an older version of Chromium. In my experience older versions of Chromium are quite a bit faster (on older machines at least) than the newer ones. I use the latest Brave (Chromium based) with Fossa9.6 and Chromium version 90 (older) with Jammy. The older version is very fast. Th...

@pp4mnklinux Why did you delete your opening post. You have invited users into a discussion about a topic that could be useful for Puppy Linux and when they respond you delete your opening post. :?: Good question amethyst! It's very irritating, isn't it. I recently read something about Thorium brow...

I am still using (stuck with) S15Pup32, as well as older ScPup32 and ArchPup32. I modified my Pups via kernel and zdrv swaps for older kernels w/support for my ancient WiFi chip on this Acer Aspire netbook...also some of the later kernels utilize a different NTFS driver which on this netbook are ext...

Sylvander "Is it possible for the forums to send an email notification when someone makes a post/reply to a thread to which I'm posting [or following]?" YES!!! At the upper right side of any page you have open on this forum, you'll notice a link that says "Notifications"...click...

In this instance, it refers to Wiak's "First Rib" build script system.

mikewalsh I wouldn't even attempt to speak for Moonchild, but I get the feeling that as he is basically the sole developer, he doesn't think it's feasible to support SSE2/3 and AVX...I don't know myself, but I do know that Roytam1 still publishes SSE browsers based on older Tycho engine of Mozilla,...

This may be going out on a limb here, but it seems to me that you are encountering the same issue I did with an old Acer Aspire One netbook... specifically that the newer Linux kernels (mostly 5.X) had deprecated support for the older WiFi chip in the netbook (Atheros 5.XX), note that my Acer netboo...

IIRC, you are booting and running Puppy from a CD, correct? If when you burned that CD and "finalized" or closed it, you cannot use any unused space on the CD to save anything to, whether that be a savefile/savefolder or creating an ISO. You can only utilize a mounted partition on a separa...

I noticed this happens a lot in this forum, but please do not try to make it my fault that I found a software bug. Ok? :thumbup: Disconnecting and reconnecting a USB keyboard should not negate the software setting, which remains correctly set in the GUI. I keep my laptop on as long as possible beca...

Why are you turning off your powered USB hub? It's no wonder everything quits working, you've effectively disconnected them!
Might as well power down, then just reboot when you come back...don't turn off the USB hub until AFTER powerdown!

This may be related to https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=114094#p114094 where you lose USB after some time of inactivity. Have you checked your laptops BIOS for power saving settings? The only other thing I can think of with only one cup of coffee this morning is it could be the beginning...

Just a test post to confirm the report of settings not being applied correctly. user1234 is correct.

Further info: I just booted one of my old Puppy flash drives holding "Quirky Werewolf64" [by Barry Kauler]. Discovered I must repeatedly press/release F11 and choose the USB flash drive from the menu. I'm reminded by this 64-bit Puppy that the reason I chose to use 32-bit Puppies [NOT 64-...

Why would you want to make anything difficult to use? Because the normal Linux "full install" is not the more common method of using Puppy Linux versions. Puppy and most derivatives on the forum are designed to be "frugal installed", which means they take less room on storage, t...

I was not doing anything at all when it happened. The laptop was on and sitting unattended for a few hours. It was fine after the reboot. This has now happened twice. I assume it all works after doing a re-start of the computer? Anything specific you are doing when this happens? Seems I remember so...

It looks to me like ljlj thought he was posting in another topic. If the topic he meant to post in can be determined, the two posts can be moved to that topic. I can't imagine how @Wiz57 saw this post to reply to it. I searched for the topic "Opera Mini Downloader", but couldn't find it. ...

Not 100 percent sure, since I haven't done it myself, but seems I recall folks using NicOS Remaster Suite to create like an "adrv.sfs" of your changes and settings, then include that in your remastered iso. Match the name of the adrv.sfs to your remastered Puppy iso in the "distro-spe...

That particular member seems to have a habit of jumping in...the best I could determine was that it was intended for Amethyst, but on a different matter, something to do with Opera Mini. I replied with a link to a post offering a download of Opera Mini. They have also posted in various other topics ...

That's great that you've got your savefile working! Now, my advice for Palemoon...what I did was use peebee's "get web browser", which downloads an SFS...just click on that in Rox Filer and it should be able to be installed. OK, once you get that one, then head over to Steve Pusser's Palem...

Welcome fbagnato :welcome: , are you saving your session when you shutdown Puppy? Do you know where it is being saved to if you are? May need a small edit to your menu.lst if using grub4dos, or grub.cfg if using grub2. It might help us if you could post the contents of those files, assuming you use ...

No Linux version from the last 20 years is going to work on this machine. For general information, read this https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=5127 . About the only Linux distro you might be able to run would be something from that era, like Monkey Linux, BasicLinux, etc. And those may be...

More than useful and faster on older machines. Great for older machines. Since you haven't used it for 20 years, you are just guessing now...wrongly. Can you please tell me which 32 bit processors are fast in todays standards ? Now you're just being belligerent and obtuse...tread VERY carefully, in...
