You should be able to use Ctrl + Alt + Backspace to exit to command prompt and from there type xorgwizard and press enter. Follow the steps to use the wizard to change resolution and other settings. Then you may need to type xwin to restart X and see if it is working. Been a while since I used Tahr ...

I'm trying to maintain this thread with up-to-date information on the "state of play", so we definitely want info on everything currently available AND functional.
Hello Mike,
It might be worth taking a fresh look if you haven't done so for a while. The devs do seem to be aware that configuration ...

OscarTalks

My suggestion for anyone who wants to do Video-Calling is to try Linphone
Go to https://linphone.org
There you can download the AppImage which works well in BookwormPup64
Easy to set up launcher scripts, add an icon and .desktop file for a menu entry (ask if you need help with this)
Versions are ...

gstreamer library, try something like "libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0" as package name

Yes Sir, from Debian repos, using the out-of-the-box Synaptic.
OK, well I have never tested the Debian build in BookwormPup64 because I compiled my own which is "Puppified" and meets my needs. You may be able to set the Debian version to run as root from within Puppy, but it may refuse to run like ...

I installed VLC......reporting "Permission denied!" error.
How did you install VLC? Is it the official Debian version or one from somewhere else? Is it running as spot?
You may wish to try the one I compiled:-

It runs as root and for me ...

Linphone is very good.
It is a program that I use every day and wouldn't want to be without.
I have taken an interest in it since my early days of using Linux. Over the years I have followed the development of it and compiled several versions of it. The developers have always worked hard to keep ...

OscarTalks

I know this thread is quite old but have you found a solution for this? i have been facing the same problem and regardless of messing with settings i am stuck as well. thanks.
I was unable to reproduce any problem so looking for a solution was not an option for me. As to why it would work for me ...

OK so here is minetest-5.8.0
Compiled from source in BookwormPup64 10.0.6 and packaged as .pet
Includes libIrrlichtMt as a shared library
Language support locales are included since they provide switching within the GUI
Installed size is around 27M
Uploaded for testing and/or academic purposes ...

OscarTalks

Has anyone managed to get minetest compiled on puppy bookworm64?
Managed to get it to compile OK
Version is 5.8.0 release tarball
They have a split-off source package of irrlicht which you have to download and compile first (must be mt13 version in this case)
That needs SDL2 so added SDL2 version ...

OscarTalks

If you still want to compile from source and all issues have been fixed except for a problem with SDL2
I would suggest compling and installing SDL2 from source beforehand
Sometimes when installing dependencies you can use package manager but sometimes it is much better to compile the dependency from ...

I just noticed that most libffmpeg.so's included with the browser are 5-6mb and this one was bigger 23.4mb.

The libffmpeg.so in your yandex disk is not stripped. That is why it is so big
Run strip --strip-unneeded /path/to/libffmpeg.so on it and the size reduces to under 3.5 mb

I presume though that in all cases you have to have the WhatsApp app installed on a smartphone and then have a connection between the phone and the Puppy computer?

As a point of principle I have always tried to avoid WhatsApp because it is Zuckerberg, Meta, Big Tech, Silicon Valley Oligarchs and ...

Audacious Audio Player
Version 4.3.1
Compiled from source in BookwormPup64

This build uses GTK2 rather than Qt5.
Most of the optional dependency plugins are included and working. A few of the "chiptunes" ones have been left out.
MIDI playback is working out of the box. A tiny and basic soundfont ...

OscarTalks

Which flavor should I choose?
Q: Tell me where to start at least.
A: Start with the latest Puppy.
My suggestion is to start with BookwormPup64
Stick with it for a while and try to resolve any issues you encounter (ask for advice here if need be)
Only if you find you are unable to get it working ...

On Bookworm64:- error while loading shared libraries: libffi.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Bookworm64 has libffi.so.8 (later version)
You may be able to use a symlink as a workaround
In /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu create a symlink to libffi.so.8 and name it as ...

I used the tarball from discord.com and extracted it to /mnt/sda3 (everything is just in the one directory named "Discord")
Then /mnt/sd3/Discord/Discord --no-sandbox
Gives me an initial screen which looks promising but I have not registered a discord account or tried to use it so difficult to dive ...

If issuing the command you might want to try including the path to the PuppyPin file
rox -p /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin
If the PuppyPin file has become corrupted or problematic in some way, as rockedge says, the original is in the main puppy.sfs
So with a frugal it would probably be a case of ...

In terminal which mtpaint will give you the location of the mtpaint executable .
For ROX-Filer file-type associations you may find it better to use the .desktop file which you would expect to find as something like:-
/usr/share/applications/mtpaint.desktop
BUT be aware that in many Puppies, mtpaint ...

If you are transferring files between Puppies, all you need is gnetcat.

Thank you for gnetcat. I have had it installed for some time and just upgraded from 1.3 to 1.7
It has always worked for me whenever I used it.

I see that there is a Linux Legacy Version which is command line rather than being a much larger GUI program:-
https://support.surfshark.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017418334-How-to-set-up-Surfshark-VPN-on-Linux-Legacy-version

running from terminal indicates a problem with this library:-
# /opt/Surfshark/surfshark --no-sandbox
libva error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so init failed

The install script seems to be wanting to download a Debian Stretch version of the VPN program (rather than Bookworm) so I ...

Hello Jasper,
Thanks for the report.
I was able to compile celluloid-0.26 in BookwormPup64 with my GTK4 package
This latest release of celluloid does now depend on libadwaita which I added using extracted .debs
There are some GTK warnings in terminal, not sure what the cause of those is, but it ...

I think the GTK4 package I compiled in BookwormPup64 is working. I have uploaded it for testing and for anyone curious here:-

Just as a bit of information, (sorry it doesn't help with Bionic or Fossa but..) I was able to compile GTK4 from the source tarball in BookwormPup64
This is version 4.8.3 which is the same as the official Debian Bookworm package. I did make a few tweaks to the meson options file such as disabling ...

OscarTalks

Either way I would like to stay with the official fossapup64 version as it its easier to trouble shoot any problems in the future.
If you want a Pup that uses Focal Fossa packages, there is FossaPup 9.6 (as opposed to 9.5) otherwise known as F96-CE (as suggested above) which is an "official ...

The original post and the other post lower down shows that the .desktop file has the line:-
NoDisplay=true
This will cause the program to not show up in the Menu
If you want a Menu entry to be there, either remove the line completely, or change it to:-
NoDisplay=false
Seems unusual for a GUI program ...

pmcputemp 0.63g (issue - small memory leak).

I believe the memory leak was fixed with some assistance from jamesbond. Check out the latest source from 01micko's github and see the latest commits (3 years ago).
The ones I compiled now show as version 0.90

Check to see if the firefox process is called something else such as firefox-esr and if so edit the script accordingly.
I'm not in F96 right now but I take it by "since ESR" you mean you have changed from regular firefox to firefox ESR ?

EDIT:- Looking in F96 now, there is firefox_esr (with ...
