Always a good tip is to copy and paste your post somewhere before attempting to submit it. Especially true if you have spent a long time composing it, which of course makes it all the more annoying if your work gets lost. If you have made a copy you can log in again and paste and then send it after ...

In my dpup builds, I intentionally don't provide devx, so users can specifically install the package they want, without having to download a 100 MB+ SFS. For every use case of devx, a subset of the packages in devx is enough, and this subset is smaller to download and easier to install through the ...

Problem: So me pets while successfully installing do not work. BleachBit and Audacious specifically. Both install without missing libraries or messages. However when clicking on menu item for each, nothing happens. Don't know why the pets do not work. Any ideas? This version of Audacious was compil...

When you select settings, a window opens that appears to have no close button. If you then click on the main window, the settings window closes, but simple-scan freezes and can only be ended with kill. The other settings windows have a close button and work as expected. I believe this is a "kn...

I have been experimenting with compiling VLC-3.0.20 from source in BookwormPup64 Generally all seems to build OK and work well. Some optional dependencies are included, a few are left out. In the case of many of these dependencies, the shared library is built-in to the Pup, but the corresponding DEV...

BookwormPup64-10.0.4 I see that multimedia playlist files with the suffix .m3u and also .m3u8 show up in ROX as plain text files when really they should usually be set to be opened by a media player (although you should be able to right-click and open as text if you want to). There may be a better w...

Compiled from source with --disable-tdb these small libcanberra .pet packages should prevent creation and accumulation of /root/.cache/event-sound-cache.tdb cache files.
A bit more information in the 64bit discussion thread here:-

OscarTalks

As with other Debian/Ubuntu pups, if you look in hidden directory /root/.cache you may see that event-sound-cache.tdb* files are created and these accumulate over time. Not the end of the world, but they don't serve any useful purpose. As I understand it, event sounds are not working in Puppy becaus...

OscarTalks

The way I would approach it is to compare the files in the original Puppy with the new files in the corresponding positions (hopefully) in the directory tree of the package. If that all looks OK the next step for me if I were testing would be to extract or copy out the main puppy .sfs as a directory...

OscarTalks

sonny, I think you need to check all your configure options first of all to make sure everything is as we would want it. Some of those paths look wrong to me, there should be a lot of those files and directories under --prefix=/usr and not directly under "/". Also the executable and librar...

OscarTalks

The error's gone, but is it the right solution? I think the right solution is to avoid installing incompatible or mismatched files or packages in the first place. Are there any files installed in /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu ? if so I believe they will be user-installed Removing that line will (...

OscarTalks

sonny, Probably you have installed a version of this executable which was compiled against the later glibc (libc6) version. When installing libraries and executable binaries you do always have to be aware of compaibility issues. I sometimes see people installing packages from other distros thinking ...

Posting the libdvdcss library with conventional split-off DEV package which is only needed if you are going to be compiling anything which depends on it. I presume Woof-CE people will decide how best to approach this, does a petbuild need to be set up or should a manually built package be uploaded t...

Many DVD's will not play because there is no libdvdcss in BookwormPup32 at the time of posting. Attaching the library below, compiled from source (downloaded from Videolan, the VLC developers). Split-off DEV package is only needed if you will be compiling anything which depends on this library. I pr...

Hello Sky, I take it you are using F96-CE? If so I have tried a couple of audio CD's and they do play for me here. Clicking the "Play" button opens Deadbeef as I would expect and the tracks load and play. I think the error messages in the Deadbeef log are there because it is using the GTK2...

OscarTalks

Hello Ken, Thanks for the report. In further testing I found that without the library installed, some DVD's would play but many would not. With the library installed, they all play (though I only have a small number of them here) and I think things are working as they should be, bearing in mind that...

Hello wizard, Thanks for the response. I wonder if you are doing something different or maybe your DVD is different from the ones I tried. Earlier I was installing BookwormPup64 in a machine for somebody else. Now back home and if I put a (film) DVD in the drive I get sr0 as the icon for it. Clickin...

Is anyone able to play DVD's in BookwormPup64 10.0.4 ? Just did a frugal in an oldish desktop computer and DVD's would not play at all by clicking on the drive or by opening from within SMPlayer. Messages in the error log mentioned "no css available" and normally I would expect to see libd...

i successfully installed Puppy (FossaPup64 9.5) on a 2GB RAM, 2GB SSD ThinClient, runs very good. Other distros claiming to require very litte hard disk space failed to install; they all need more than 2 GB. However, I noticed the kernel version 5.4. was too old to include Wireguard. Which Puppy sh...

Hello, Yes, I am testing in BookwormPup64 with openvpn-2.6.8 which uses data-ciphers, supposedly in place of cipher, but sometimes it still complains with a "Note" if cipher is not set so I find that all is OK if I use AES-256-GCM as the setting for both. I know that openvpn-2.4.12 which I...

I compiled the dco kernel module for kernel 6.1.67 for my compiled-from-source openvpn-2.6.8 The feature (Data Channel Offload) is now recognised and shown in openvpn --version so hopefully it does improve performance. I think you can use cipher AES-256-GCM and also data-ciphers AES-256-GCM in the ....

I'm glad it worked, if any of you reading this know about VPNs and OPENVPN, and how to improve the configuration file, let me know to include the changes.

Any ideas? Hello mikeslr, I was just wondering if any progress has been made with this issue? In my own tests I did not get any crashes in F-96 when adding and editing. I was under the impression that this pup already had a version that was patched to fix the original crash problem that was reporte...

I think the "Markup application" in this case is libgtkhtml The problem was, I believe, found to be that for libxml2 version 2.9.5 or later, libgtkhtml needed to be patched. This has been done by user wdlkmpx on his github, there are patched versions of both libgtkhtml and osmo itself. I t...

Klaus1, In the picture you posted, you will need to tick the option to "Show desktop icons for each DRIVE" in order to show one icon for each drive, otherwise you just get one icon for all the drives. Click OK and then maybe restart X to see the change. If you are seeing more drives than y...
