Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Now you have found the problem with trying to use the same save on a different computer. The setup stored on the save is for the computer it was originally made on. It is storing settings for that computer. The save is not storing drivers, but is telling the OS what driver to use, and what settings ...

As someone new to Puppy Linux.

There are some good topics to read here:
viewforum.php?f=184

Puppy is setup as a single user root.

So, when you run Puppy, you are the root user, and can do anything in the file system.
Run any command.

Sudo is not needed.

If you want to run any command in a terminal.
just enter the command.
Press enter.

:welcome: To Puppy Linux! inxi is not a program that is in Puppy Linux. For what inxi can do Puppy Linux uses the program Pup-Sysinfo. menu-> System->Pup-Sysinfo Under the different sections listed at the top of the program. Any piece of information can be found. What they display you can copy and p...

What specific version of BookwormPup????????? I knew you're gonna ask this question, Biggie. The latest one indeed. But cheers for asking btw. This is the information we need. BookwormPup64 what specific version??? Or is it BookwormPup32 and what specific version???? Either one could be your defini...

hi all bookworm64 and bookworm32 have already been submitted to distrowatch it just usually takes them a while to change the page that is a done deal so we are good for 1 year I suggest you make an announcement topic about this. :thumbup: I can make one, but you did the work! It would also be a pla...

Basic updating of webpage done. I suggest we get a few of us as moderators for the puppylinux.com, to take the load off of peebee having to do all the editing. The changes he made were well overdue. The basic layout and how it is setup looks good. But someone needs to keep it updated as stuff chang...

I started this topic to get some positive action out of members of this forum and the developers of Puppy versions. Still see the usefulness to keep supporting DistroWatch. It is very, very, good to see the actions people are stepping up to do :!: Puppy Linux is alive and well :!: :thumbup: This top...

IdfbAn seems to still be making posts in this topic.

So give some time to offer an improved version.

Would help if we could get an update on what is going on with this.

What specific version of BookwormPup?????????

BookwormPup64 and BookwormPup32 have already been released for people to download and use. They have already been built. Provide a good mix of programs. Both have topics in the Distributions-> Mainline Puppy Linux Distros-> BookwormPup Have these listed on DistroWatch, links to their specific topics...

Totally disagree. These features of how Puppy is put together allow it to operate the way it does. How it can be a frugal install. Which allows installing on any drive, any partition, any format, even inside another operating system install. The different SFS's make this possible because they are a ...

As I understand, the program randomly makes up a name for the device, when you install the program on it.

Then you can change it to something you want it to be.

rockedge For F96-CE_4 install. I installed the deb package of LocalSend provided on it's download web site. Downloaded it and click on to install. Installed the libayatana-appindicator3-1_0.5.4-2 by using PPM. It put a menu entry in Utility. Click on the menu entry and it starts up. Seems to be wor...

How did you install it?

In what Puppy version?

If you have not done this suggest you read some of the topics here: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewforum.php?f=184 :welcome: To Puppy Linux. Each Puppy version is slightly different from another Puppy version. Plus no way a 300MB to 800MB complete OS could possibly support every computer ever buil...

Using a very new Linux kernel is half the needed support for very new hardware. The firmware provided to work with it needs to also be the newest firmware package. Get the latest from here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git I assume this firmware package is ...

This is the original post asking if it could work in F96-CE. https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=11372 It did not run. But after finding the dependency stuff needed and installing that. It worked. My post was in the PET & SFS Programs Compatible With Bookworm Pup64 topic , because it wo...

This is a new one that just showed on the logged in list.

Google Feedfetcher

But it does not seem to be affecting speed, so far.

I say keep it simple. When someone releases a new version of Puppy and others use it. Respond with positive posts about it. It gets any bug fixes or needed improvements. Seems ready to be the next Puppy version for DistroWatch. We need to push the issue of getting it submitted to DistroWatch. I gues...

That Baidu Spider is showing logged in and that is when the forum got slower for me, just now.

Now back to normal speed and the Baidu Spider is not showing as logged in.

Seems to me the usrmerge file system is setup to work with older programs and code. It has a bunch of older ways of using directories, symbolically linked to the newer directory locations. Isn't this just about changing the location of stuff in the Linux file system? But using directory symbolic lin...

Yes, the example links, setup for sharing, work for me too. :thumbup: It seems that this issue is controlled by sharing settings for the software being offered on Google Drive. If I understand it. If you put something on Google Drive and do whatever in settings to mark it as shareable. Then it will ...

What is the make and model of the ChromeBook? Read this topic: Chromebooks (Run and install Puppy) https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=431 One of the posts will provide help for you. Note: Sound issues are one of the most problems to solve in ChromeBooks. Several posts in that topic tell ab...

Sure, you could do that, if this would produce a 100% fully working BookwormPup64 and BookwormPup32. So far, I have never seen a Puppy produced with Woof-CE, get released, and not have some issues or bugs, that needed fixed. Radky's BookwormPup64 is at final release stage and is working good. Plus i...

Something to consider. At the bottom of the main Puppy forum page is a list of who is logged in. One is Baidu Spider. This could be some of the cause of slow display. How to Block Baidu Spider The only reason for blocking Baiduspider is if you aren’t interested in targeting the Chinese market. You w...

Edit: I posted before I read your edit to your post. I guess you need to get some help from that portable Brave topic. There is a topic about a portable package version of Brave browser here: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=6150 There are several posts about fixing downloads to work in ...

The original idea of not letting it suspend if a USB drive is plugged in and running Puppy from it, with the save on the USB. If the save is setup to write to it every few minutes automatically (option in pupmode13). Good chance the save could get corrupted or data lost. What if it goes into suspend...

Any programs that will not run if you are root user (normally who you are when using Puppy Linux) Puppy Linux does not have multiple users. Only root user. So for these programs, you can make them think someone other than root user is running them. Using run-as-spot to start them. To these programs ...
