I don't run a server. But do run Bookworm64 [it goes without saying "as a frugal install"]. The only things worth noting are (a) if you've never run a frugal install, deploy it to a Linux Formatteed partitition so that you have the Save to Folder option at first shutdown; and (b) Bookworm64's SFS ...

Sky Aisling "I changed the default changer to "Libreoffice --writer". I should have thought of that.
"Do you see any pitfalls in this?
Is there even a better way to do this?"

No, except that as I wrote Libreoffice--writer's default save location is the last location you saved to. So, until you use ...

Might be easier to just install UExtract, now at uextract-4.14, viewtopic.php?p=3263#p3263. AFAICT, jakeSFR last updated it in July 2024, but remains active discuss any questions or issues.

Re-Read my last post. I edited it. Not sure if that was before or after your last reply.
Update: The Save function defaults to the last location saved-to. Just opened an .odt file located in /mnt/home/my-notes. Closed it and created a new 'junk' file. Save still defaulted to ..,/my-stuff/Downloads.

mikeslr

About the location LibreOffice saves files to: My best guess is that it defaults to offering to save to the last location used and since you hadn't used it yet, it defaulted to it's home=portable's folder. I just tried the following: Saved a new 'junk' file I named steed to my download folder on ...

Sky Aisling . The pfind listings you've noted with red-dots are likely from an earlier install. LibreOffice portable didn't write them. AFAIK, it also won't use them. And while they won't do any harm, you can easily delete them. Again run pfind. One-at-time, Right-Click the files you want to delete ...

Haven't tried your "10", but your 9.2 version still available from the OP link runs fine. I was even able to open InfoCentral an early XP application.
I'm not sure what default Windows version it configures for, and forgot if I set it. Don't think so. But there doesn't seem to be a way to change ...

If you're want to run a Windows programs under Wine, than before you drive yourself nuts you should first check whether anyone has reported successfully doing so. Open a web browser to https://www.winehq.org/
and type the name of that program in the Search box at the Top-Right. A Window will open ...

bigphil "When you stated Mike's Wine-portable is 'multi-arch' were you referring to Mike Walsh as the portable I'm using is the one created by you." I take it you mean me, i.e. mikeslr the publiisher of wine-portable-3.3, https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=279#p279 , which is an upgrade ...

Thanks, Mike. Seems to work fine once I figured out how to both record and listen to sound on my system. Annoying systerm. My microphone is connected via USB and for some reason my system thinks that it's the default for recording and listening :roll: . Decided to record a Youtube of Blood, Sweat ...

There is over 250GB on my site, some of which may not be public.

Even after the site is gone you will likely be able to view and download via the Wayback machine.

Hostgator want $587.88 per year for the Pro 250 plan. This is more than I'm willing to pay.

In the past it was unlimited space and ...

Don't know how complicated it would be to 'transfer' smokey01 to namescheap AND change the links on the Forum. But namescheap offers a shared plan @ $37.88 for 2 years, renewing @ $91.88 for the next two years. 20 Gbs storage may be sufficient to contain smokey01. Considering that 'time is money ...

Ditto bigpup's question: What kind of device is it?

However, as far as I know, the path to all USB-devices are only dynamically established on boot-up. So the information I posted here, https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=144958#p144958 is applicable to all USB-devices.

I'd add, that if ...

mikeslr

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know of adverse information about namescheap? They offer shared hosting for $1.98 per month, https://www.namecheap.com/hosting/shared/ and, currently, you could obtain a domain named like smokey02 .store for $.99 per year. They also offer a shared, stellar-plus ...

I found the link to mediafire. It opens here, https://www.mediafire.com/folder/un7het7sjhhjh/LibreOffice. DO NOT click the download arrow at the top. Rather, Right-Click the line which reads 'LiberOffice-portable64.tar.gz' and select download.

Mikewalsh's portable may not be working because you ...

Well, actually the "Job well done" should go to smokey. He was there when we needed him most. :thumbup:

The problem with applications and programs located on a USB-Key is that the path to that key is not created until it is plugged in and mounted.
Maybe attack this problem from a different direction. Right-Click the programs executable and make sure that Select 'set run action' uses the command wine ...

In order to run a 'program' under wine, you have to call the wine executable. Take a look (open in Text-editor/viewer) one of the the desktop file you'll find in the DATA folder of the portable. My wine-file-manager.desktop under portable 5.11 reads:

Cloning smokey01.com and adding the cost of maintaining such repo might be easier.

"...and taxes are theft! -.-". No, taxes are the substitute for being conscripted to do the work required by a political entity. Of course, what is required is a political question; as is the 'Goldilock's' question, what is the proper level of taxation for each type and level of income? But ...

Aw shucks, wizard's remaster2clone script produced a livebuild folder that I renamed noblepup2 and booted from a grub mod. Looked good for a while, then threw a sync failure kernel panic full stop. The install it was working on had a nicOS Utility save2SFS ydrv.sfs on it, so I suspect a conflict ...

No Right-Click Trash option when running PupMode5.

See my post here, viewtopic.php?p=144741#p144741. NoblePup has the same issue.

I like using Rox, but since is has no "Trash or undelete", I will have to find an alternative. A few have been suggested.

Although I set up Bookworm64 10.0.10, F-96 is at the top of my boot-menu so I usually boot into it. But the Governor's comment caught my eye. So I booted into ...

mikeslr

I could be wrong. [Pre-1st cup of coffee and I've mostly only deployed Debians & Ubuntus]. But IIRC, other distros don't actually have a delete function so don't need an undelete function. What they call 'delete' is actually what Puppys call 'Move to trash' with 'Undelete' actually being 'Restore ...

Just a link to dragonpup's solution, viewtopic.php?p=144516#p144516 before it gets lost in the crowd. Thanks dragonpup.

Way above my paygrade . But I figured someone else may need this knowledge, someday.

The following is a petty annoyance but correcting it requires knowledge of scripting I do not have.

What architecture/version of ProgeCAD are you trying to run? I've been assuming --and you know what they say about that-- it was a 64bit. But this, https://www.progesoft.com/faq reveals that thru 2021 there were a 32-bit versions. If it's a 32-bit version there are other Wine possibilities, to wit ...

jp734's attached wine-debug.txt.zip indicated that libvulkan.so.1 was missing. pkgs.org suggested that libvulkan.so.1 would be found in debian's build of the Chromium web-browser. It can be found in Mikewalsh's Google-Chrome-portable, and likely any other 'Chromium-clone' you may already have. Also ...
