It appears he is not on the forum member list anymore.

I downloaded his latest iso audio distro, but I was looking for the topic again and can't find it now.

Anyone have info on locating it/him?

It appears you have the name wrong, it's lowercase L.

Barry,
Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Thankfully it was a BCC and not a more serious cancer. Such incredible complexity required to complete the removal.

TerryH

Then I made a sript:

#!/bin/bash
Pupmtp

Saved to /bin/pupmtp

Made a link to desktop

This is all duplication, pupmtp is a script in /usr/sbin which has an existing desktop file pupmtp.desktop in /usr/share/applications . You don't need to create an additional script, just place a link to ...

TerryH

Fantastic now. @rockedge this has been an epic effort to keep the forum accessible. Thank you.

TerryH

The installer did not install the ucode.cpio file that is also needed in the install.

Most newer, newest versions of Puppy now have this ucode.cpio file in the ISO.

It is used in the boot process, to update the kernel, with latest changes in support for the CPU being used.

some of the boot ...

TerryH

Just installed this kernel in BookwormPup64 on my Asus laptop. Running without issue.

Thank you for your ongoing commitment to progressing Puppy Linux

Twice today when running an Easy Daedalus 6.5.1.1 container within Easy Scarthgap 6.6.3, I've been unable to flip out of the container. I have the flip icon in the tray. I clicked the flip icon and nothing happened. To check I navigated to the /usr/local/easy_containers directory, opened a terminal ...

Seems to have slowed again for me, over 30 seconds for reply window to come up.

I use RAM2 in my PFI without issue, but my usage these days is generally very light.

TerryH

Seems OK for me now also.

TerryH

I re-downloaded the updated BookwormPup64_10.0.10.iso. The previous version booted and ran OK. This latest version won't boot on my Asus laptop Ryzen 5800H. The boot now won't start X, either booting with my save folder, or utilizing pfix=ram. I deleted the original version, so can't go back to that ...

TerryH

I'd just downloaded/updated prior to fr-ke reporting the issue. Just now seeing that a reload was necessary. In between I've been out moving another foot (30 cm) of snow. All seemd good. Oh well, just need to download and replace the puppy_*.sfs.

TerryH

I've been running Chromium with "--disable-file-system" for a couple of days, with no ill effects.
The content of that "File System" folder has stayed at 28KB.

I've just been doing the usual things; forum, bank account, gmail, youtube, it all works as before.

Note, in my case "File System ...

TerryH

Since I did the cleanup, i didn't disable File System. I am just monitoring the space used. Currently it is only taking up 56 K, it hasn't filled up again. The file 00000000 hasn't returned and doesn't appear to have been replaced with something else.

TerryH

I recommend method 2, as you do not need to run the host Linux OS to update GRUB.

Agreed. I should have been clearer on that. There is no need to run the update grub command.

Also just saw I made an error in option 2. I wrote boot.cfg instead of grub.cfg. Thanks also for the added details ...

TerryH

@TerryH
I don't use chromium very often, but my first thought is this is probably some sort of "cache", related possibly to prefetch etc . that is supposed to speed up loading of frequently visited sites. You may be able to control how much space is used by checking in the settings of chromium ...

TerryH

Other linux systems, I believe don't identify Puppy frugal installs when updating grub2. If you have a functional grub2 associated with another linux (mageia 9???) installation, there are 2 methods to add boot stanzas for Puppy installations.

1- In the working linux add a menuentry boot stanza for ...

TerryH

Following the update to Easy 6.6.2, I noticed that the rw-6.6.2.sfs created was quite large (1335 MB). I cleared the cache and created a new snapshot but it was a similar size. I tracked it down to chromium .config file. The file /home/.config/chromium/Default/File System/010/p/00/00000000 is 919 M ...

TerryH

Dear dimkr
I gave it another try and is still find it very cumbersome if you want to do anything "linuxy", other than browse the web or see a movie listen to music etc.
Anyway is there a way to change the pkexec password that you need to type all the time to do anything else?
I did setup and ...

TerryH

It makes maintenance of backups more critical, as if you do something that corrupts, your whole system is gone.

Thats a good point Terry. I guess learning how to make sfs's to load when needed would be more useful.

I'd hate to be doing it on any slower drives.

was your save extremely ...

TerryH

I could definitely see myself using this method, because one of the first things I do with a KL is build a new appication

In the other discussion concerning the use of alternative savefolders (vs backups) you mention methods of using pupsaves to "build up" a working system.
Does this puedo ...

TerryH

Then is will resume and shutdown.

Just wondering, when the shutdown dialogue window appears, are you able to cancel the Shutdown dialogue prior to shutting down?

Unfortunately no. When I press the power button it starts the shutdown process. There is no chance to cancel.

I am able to ...

Laast night I decided to do a little experiment.

As Kennel Linux releases have various ways of accessing the root file system in a running an installation. One of the methods being Pseudo Full Install. In this type of installation the rootfs is copied the the upper changes layer, not requiring to ...

TerryH

Just updated 6.6 to 6.6.1. All went well and working nicely. I have fairly good internet, with 180 Mb download speed, so updates go fairly quickly. It just struck me how fast this update went. Unfortunately I didn't time it, but was well under 2 minutes from clicking the update icon to being ...

Hi @TerryH

Sorry if you feel it was directed at you. My last sentence in that post should have alerted you it was NOT.

But 'sense' you feel I WAS directing something (which I wasn't) let me put it a different way. You seem to be a US citizen pushing Western prop toward diminishing another ...

TerryH

There is enormous adversity toward a country which is constantly accused of bad-acting while NEVER showing evidence of bad acting. Why do so many of us listen to politicians and why would WE, technical people who rely on evidence, believe any who WONT produce evidence.

Some of us are told what to ...

Article from 'The Age' an Australian newspaper. You won't see the full video, but the attached gif image, basically says it all.

When at the compress Y/N dialog, does anyone else think it odd that even if you right click the icon in the taskbar and choose "kill" the window, it has no effect on the procedure? Kill usually means kill, right?

It's not odd at all. How can you kill something after it has completed. The ...
