Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Yes again slow today and I would say worse than yesterday. Again I'm just reporting this. I've read the explanation of the problem so will wait and report when things improve.

Ken.

Yep, same here. Just FYI, it's still usable just annoying.

Ken.

Well while I've read the stuff about why modern pups have to be produced using a particular recipe following specific rules but I'm not sure how important this is when recommending one to DistrosWatch. If this is going to be the first puppy that new users try surely it should be easy to install, use...

Yes noticed it was very slow to open then slow moving from one topic to another but again seems back to normal today. I thought that it must have been at my end but as others have noticed this then perhaps not.

rockedge In KLV the default is no save. Should we change that in F96-CE_4 as well? I don't use KLV but I do use both F96-CE_4 and Bookworm 10.0.6. I would prefer to leave the default in these as is. I probably save about 50% of the time. It is simple to select which you want to do. I think making t...

ozsouth Thanks for your reply and the advice. I would use the ucode modern pups provide as a preference. Yeah, Bookworm 10.0.6 is the latest version of this OS and the version of ucode with it seems to work so I think I will stick with it for the moment as I'm reasonably confident that it's working...

ozsouth I have only just seen this and I don't pretend to understand it. I have ucode.cpio that came with BookwormPup 10.0.6 which is contained in a separate ext4 partition on an hdd. I also have Linux Mint 21.3 installed on this hdd. BookwormPup is booted from the version of grub that came with Li...

Hello one Thanks for your reply. I've just tried adding the missing 1006BookwormPup64 's and it now appears that ucode.cpio is loaded at boot up using the version of 10.0.6 I have on the hdd. Below is the output of running dmesg | grep microcode # dmesg | grep microcode [ 0.000000] microcode: microc...

I have two versions of 10.0.6, one on a USB drive made with Menu>Setup>Frugal Pup Installers>e4StickPup and the other is a manual frugal install on an ext4 partition on an hdd on a Toshiba L750 laptop. This hdd also contains Mint linux v21.3 on a separate partition. The version of grub in mint linux...

oliverjames Can I ask if you are actually seeing your "menuentry" appear on the screen when you boot up. The reason I ask is that I tried some time ago to boot a frugal puppy together with Mint Linux 21.1 using the version of grub in Mint Linux. I was fairly sure that the boot stanza I en...

dancytron I think our posts must have crossed when I made my edit. Search for "realtek" in synaptic and see what is installed I did this but only the one at the top of the list seemed to be installed if I'm reading synaptic correctly. Please see attached. The lower panel shows a long list...

dancytron Double check you have firmware-realtek installed. Install it if you don't. Below is the output from pFind. I presume the ones that are important are those starting /lib/modules/ and /usr/lib/modules/ . I don't see any that seem to refer to a card reader. I've had a look at your link. Much...

I've been given a Toshiba Satellite L750 running Win 10 very slowly. Haven't use windows in a long while but for the moment I've left it in place. I've made an install of Bookworm64 10.0.4 to a USB drive using FrugalPup Installers>e4StickPup. In the passed I've done this manually but the "autom...

Jasper and bigpup I've also just used this but with the .text ending. Thanks for a good tip. Chelsea80 Is there a way to stop this happening as it might be handy to keep a 'running date log' of previous saves - It's OK, I have worked it out - Put a different number in front of the new file save nam...

OscarTalks As I still have v10.0.3 installed I thought I would see if it had the same problem and it did. I decided to install your .pet. I also found another two DVDs of the "free with a newspaper" type for testing. After installing the .pet all four DVDs played in mpv after clicking the...

OscarTalks and wizard I've just tried playing two different "film" DVDs but got different results. Both of these were the type that come free in this case both with news papers. The first one I tried, "The 39 Steps", brought up the sr0 icon on the desktop. Clicking on this broug...

Jasper If you want to add them to UExtract you need to place them in it's Resources directory I followed your instructions to do the above in both FossaPup64 9.5 and in Bookworm64 10.0.4 and I'm pleased to say that I can now extract FewPlaylists.7z using UExtract in both of these OSs as well as F96...

wizard In my clean install of 10.0.04, the default terminal on the desktop is LXTerminal in which the up/down arrows show the history. Thanks for that piece of information because it pointed me towards a mistake that I must have made. I checked my clean install of 10.0.4. The desktop terminal icon ...

I finally managed to extract this by trying in yet another pup i.e. F96 CE_4 which was successful. I cannot remember the last time or indeed if ever I had to extra a file of this type. I seem to remember seeing them when I used windows but I'm not even sure of that as it was a long time ago. Interes...

I've recently updated to v10.0.4. I have usually updated before by using the save file (yes I still use them) from the previous version then building a new clean save file for the new update i.e. I tried to use the save file from v10.0.3 in v10.0.4. However, I found that the 10.0.3 save file was nam...

Sofiya First of all, what distribution do you use? I tried this in both FossaPup64 9.5 with Uextract v3.32 and BookwormPup64 10.0.4 with Uextract v4.11. I don't remember ever having trouble extracting files with Uextract before. and on the screen I see that you are not installed ( 7z , zip , 7zip )...

amethyst Right-click > Uextract works for me Unfortunately not for me. I have now used a different pup and browser (which I am not running as spot unlike previously) to download a fresh copy of the file to a different place. I now have two downloads of this file. The forum shows the file as145.4kB....

amethyst I've tried unzipping FewPlaylists.7z using both pExtract and uExtract without success. I've also tried removing the .7z thinking it was a "fake" then opening with a text editor again without success. I think I must be missing something. Can you tell me how to open this file? Rega...

Sofiya check if you have installed apt-get install youtube-dl apt-get install yt-dlp I have both installed. yt-dlp is dated 30.12.2023 so I guess it's up to date. yt-dl is also installed but is dated 6.6.2021. I attempted to update it via a terminal but failed. Output is shown below. root# youtube-...

I've searched the playlist.m3u8 file using the "search" box of the text editor for stations that are normally available in UK Freeview. I've listed some of those I found below but none worked. #EXTINF:-1 tvg-name="CBS reality UK Ⓢ" tvg-logo="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wiki...

Sofiya it should be like this Thanks for the Play-list-UK.m3u8 file. I've installed it in IPTVnator as a second playlist (please see image below). It works fine though I still get a bit of spooling that I don't get when running directly in mpv. Perhaps my machine is not well enough specified. It's ...

Jasper Browse to https://iptv-org.github.io/ and go down to the UK icon and expand the contents. On the right hand side of the screen it will tell you if a "Stream" is available. Thanks for the link. I've done the above and selected a number of "UK" streams which I've checked wo...

Jasper are you using a UK based DNS server? yes but I'm not using a VPN. If in doubt drag & drop the URL into mpv or vlc to see if it is functioning correctly. I've opened the playlist.m3u8 file and tried the above with mpv. So far I have not managed to get a single url to work. After the drag ...

I have installed this from Jasper .pet. I've tried it on both the "full" fossapup 9.5 and fossapup 9.5 mid2 with similar results. I've mainly tried the UK section of the menu and I get mixed results. Some work well others don't work and cause continuous spooling and others give an error me...

@ponchale
I've just updated to v11.2 and the "sponsored shortcuts" checkbox issue has been resolved. The default now seems to be that this box is unticked. Thanks for this.

Regards,

Ken.
