Updated with System Updater to latest dpup rolling release. Noticed that there is a new icon in tray. The icon is actually showing missing icon indicator. I clicked on it and noticed it is for bluetooth. I then set up a bluetooth speaker, which successfully connected, first attempt and is working ...

@perdido Nothing 64-bit about any of them as far as I know. Isn't Hirsute Hippo a 64 bit release? I realise that there may be a very simple answer/explanation, but this is where me having limited experience of Linux comes into play. Not entirely, ubuntu still have 32 bit repos for the newer ...

Yes, the comparisons with Scpup64 I mentioned were done yesterday while testing pupmtp in quickpup64. Also, when I plug the phones USB cable to the PC the probing devices message is displayed, but pupmtp fails to find the phone. Try to install libmtp and simple-mtpfs from other distro's especially ...

Hi mistfire, I know you had some issues with pupMTP, when using SCPup64. pupMTP (and also pupCamera) currently doesn't function correctly in Quickpup64. When my Samsung phone is connected it returns a message that no devices found. I don't know which actual ScPup64 -21.04 you based Quichpup64 on ...

Created a new manual frugal install on internal SSD with UEFI boot. Apart from issues you have identified in first post, all running well. I have installed libreoffice7.1.3.2.sfs and running portable vivaldi browser. Nice work mistfire. Thank you.

TerryH

Thanks for the information. Looking at the size of the BOOTX64.EFI, being similar size to a kernel, I thought that something like that was happening. I didn't notice previously, that there is no vmlinuz in this version. I also notice that the image for the init versiona also has a second kernel ...

@mikewalsh I have been in this situation often. I have never been able to recover when keyboard is also frozen, only hard stop works.

One of the benefits of not writing directly to the save file/folder, is that when shutdowns like this are required, it doesn't stuff up your saves.

This is just a request for information on how the dpupos rolling UEFI actually boots. Having used the extlinux legacy boot version of dpupos-rolling for a while, I am currently trying the UEFI version. I downloaded the UEFI image and created a USB flash drive. All went well and it boots and runs ...

Currently in Slacko64 8.2.1, so had a play with timezone. I also set my HWClock to Local time. When set to GMT +12, it does appear to be a bug in displaying -12, as the time displayed is correct for what is GMT+12. One thing to note is that when you use GMT -/+N for the timezone, the system I ...

I have a small mini pc with Z3735F Atom processor 2GB RAM, it worked fine when i had connected it to my 152CM (60") Samsung 4K TV. Thanks. Is that 3840x2160? I have a little 19in TV that I have used successfully over HDMI with a variety of low-powered machines at 1366x768. I was curious about how ...

TerryH

Here is my final question on the subject. My test Nvidia machine is a low-power Atom unit, but it has HDMI output. Can it drive a big-screen TV or do you need a separate graphics card to do that? I have a small mini pc with Z3735F Atom processor 2GB RAM, it worked fine when i had connected it to my ...

Is the price actually true?

Sheesh..... That's daylight robbery, innit?

Mike.

Looks like a bargain to me, compared to their ubuntu course which is double the price of puppy.

Amazing stuff, now that UEFI boot works, I got the empty tray issue reproduced on this Dell Vostro 14 5490 (16 GB, 10510U, MX250): This is interesting, from the first release on May 17th, my installation was done using UEFI boot. I've had no issues with panels or any issues booting. This is the ...

The big coup is blocking autoplay video. I haven't looked for an extension, but there isn't a browser content setting for it. If XYZ News Co. wants you to watch their video, it will play. Firefox for some time now has had a setting to allow/block media playing on visited sites. Unfortunately it ...

TerryH

Thanks! :thumbup: Just wondering if this has been seen before. Yes, at least something similar. Error reading file:///root/%25U: Could you please post the content of audacious's .desktop file? Could be there is the problem! Could be it's in the Exec= entry. Looks quite standard to me. It only ...

TerryH

I have been looking at dimkr's latest creation cagepup, it doesn't have any multimedia players installed. I looked in PPM and to install audacious , there were also 79 dependencies. I initially installed all to make sure it would run. I then rebooted without saving. On reboot I just downloaded all ...

So, is how is touchpad control achieved when using wayland? @TerryH Use the keyboard/mouse wizard. I added support for controlling touchpads there, and you can turn off tap-to-click, and set the sensitivity! Bear in mind that there's no such thing as "input settings on Wayland" because every ...

TerryH

A manual frugal installl to the internal SSD in my Dell laptop. The only issue I am having is how to alter the sensitivity of the touchpad and turn off tapping on the touchpad. The sensitivity and tapping issue is only a minor issue, for testing purposes it is still quite usable. This project should ...

It's very simple to boot form a USB drive and boot to the USB drive, or the internal drive/s. I have attached a partial copy of the menu.lst from a USB drive. It is booting a variety of puppys, debiandogs and weedogs both on the USB and also the internal SSD. This is booting using legacy grub (not ...

TerryH

It's similar to when ntfs was introduced, limited or no access. Look in PPM to see what exfat components are available for the pppy you are using. I'm not sure if all are required, exfat-fuse, exfat-utils, exfatprogs.

Just updated from dpupos 40 to 43. The installation is on a USB flash drive. Following the update I deleted the save folder to start fresh. I reload the firefox config from a backup. Some minor issues: After the initial setup and several reboots, the Pupmode is 66, so can't alter setting from Event ...

TerryH

New frugal install on internal ssd on laptop. Really nice. Everything looked at so far is working well. Thanks for the continued development of Puppy slacko. Just an observation, which I've noticed on several newer puppys. The Raise / Lower Volume keys don't work when trying to adjust by dB's by 1 ...

TerryH

What are the broken links to /home/runner/work/Woof-CE/.... in current kernel kit produced kernels? I downloaded the latest 5.10 kernel-kit version from github as mentioned above. I swapped out the kernel in slacko8.0pre, which is an update from 5.10.25 to 5.10.34. I noticed that there are 2 broken ...

Fred, was hoping that a sid build script might eventuate. Thank you.

Using Slacko 8.0 this morning, so gave the V2 a run to check the changes. So for me the hold doesn't work, window is still closing too quick to read. I booted into Slacko 7.0 to check it also. The hold does work in Slacko 7.0. Strange, they are the same version of rxvt from 2016, so no idea why it's ...

TerryH

You need to provide more information on how you Intend to create the USB Flash drive. Creating it like burning a CD using image writing software will create Read Only media, so you can't edit it. If you use software like frugalpup installer, it creates a writable USB flash that you can change the ...

Hi @TerryH I am using this, "SanDisk Ultra USB 3.0", but the overall performance is horrible, at best, on the PC it is attached. My past findings is not good with few of my past USB-HDDs vastly outperforming my flash. So, I have limited my writing and use them mostly for reads; thus they exist ...

TerryH

Yes, I've been quite surprised at just how fast some of these modern drives are. I've got a wee, 'nano'-sized, USB 3Gen2 SanDisk Ultra fit 32GB drive. Much older drives, reads aren't much better than 12-15 MB/s; this wee SanDisk, anywhere from 95-125 MB/s.....though even THAT seems to vary ...
