Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Edit: I posted before I read your edit to your post. I guess you need to get some help form 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 ...

run-as-spot is a special way to run a browser in a restricted way as to where it can download stuff in the Puppy file system. Only download location is /home/spot/Downloads. That cannot be changed as long as it is commanded to run-as-spot. So that is setup and working as it should. After something g...

Google Drive is requiring you to log in, before you can get access to software stored on it. If you do not do this. It will not show anything but it's log in screen. Example: Several people have posted links to software that they stored on Google Drive. If I click on the link. All I get is the Googl...

The forum is slow to respond.

Takes about 30 sec. to 1 minute to do anything, after clicking on something.

I can see info on the bottom of the browser window showing what it is trying to do.
Each step in connecting and displaying is waiting, stopping, and starting.

Give us some specific info?

What exactly are you doing to boot it?

You do what?
You see what?

If all you are going to use this SSD for is Puppy Linux frugal installs. The 2nd partition should be the rest of the drive formatted ext 3 or 4 Linux formats. If you ever want Windows OS to maybe store something on it and be able to read/write to it. Then take some of the space and make a 3rd partit...

The info statement at the top of the DistroWatch Puppy Linux post sure needs to get redone. https://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=puppy I think it goes all the way back to Puppy v1.0 Also the specific program info is not correct, for some of the listed Puppy versions. I think DistroWatch ju...

Our distros are community based, built from a variety of base systems, and don't really fit into DWs perception of a separate distribution. Yes, well said. That's the reality IMO. Now there is the truth. There is no such thing as one useful/interesting distro discussed/developed via resource of thi...

Puppy Event Manager ->Rox icons has settings that should control this.

If you make any changes, make sure to also select refresh / realign existing icons option, or the changes will not be used, until reboot or restart X server.

Why does anyone think we can only submit, only one specific Puppy version to DistrWatch. No reason 2, 3, 4, or more of the very good recent new versions could not be submitted. But for sure, the Puppy version developer is going to have to agree to support doing it. They have edit control of the Pupp...

Rockedge could you start a new topic just about puppylinux.com Tell people how to get it edited. what exactly do you need to do!!!!!!!!!! Discuss any suggestions or ideas. What to edit. What to change. What to add. etc...... Maybe puppylinux.com needs to have an administrator and a few other people ...

None of these identifiy the drive as bootable. Currently looking at workarounds for that. I setup all my drives with two or more partitions to allow booting from them. 1st small 300MB partition, formatted fat 32, flagged boot, esp Boot loader is installed on it. Most computer bios-es are looking to...

:welcome: To Puppy Linux! The info is provided here: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=5127 Needed disk space for a Puppy version install depends on the Puppy version. You can check the size of the Puppy version ISO to see how much room the install would need. Generally 300 to 800 MB is t...

Very good discussion going on about Puppy Linux! Hopefully a lot of Puppy developers are reading this topic. However, THE PROBLEM STILL NEEDS ADDRESSED BY SOMEONE!!!! Anybody that is right now offering a newer Puppy version, than the ones listed on DistroWatch. PLEASE SUBMIT IT TO DISTROWATCH, to ha...

I have to re-config the second kbd when I reboot. what keyboard is there and active when it boots? I assume this is F96-CE_4 version of Puppy? Not an earlier version of F96-CE. I assume this is a frugal install in directory SYSTEM? A strange name for the directory. Usually it is the name of the Pup...

Something to consider for next update to BookwormPup64 A new GUI look in the newest version of apt. https://news.itsfoss.com/apt-new-ui/ . . Could this be installed over the apt that is in BookwormPup64? Asking because of the apt in BookwormPup64, having restrictions on apt replacing some of the cor...

Really the reason to call it an official Puppy version, should be about: Built up as a bunch of separate SFS files, how it boots, loads complete OS into RAM, stores changes in a save file/folder, generally operates in specific ways (pupmodes), supports hardware old and new, uses the same core progra...

Any of the dev's going to comment on this?

Placement of the plant, does make this a good background for Puppy. Normal first boot is going to have all the desktop icons on upper left side of desktop. :thumbup: The desktop drive icons have needed room to display along the bottom. :thumbup: White colored lettering even show OK to read! Very Goo...

Does Puppy show desktop drive icons for the drive? If yes. Do they seem to mount and UN-mount OK? What name on the icon is given for the drive? NVME or sd something? Rox can access them OK? The latest versions of Puppy Linux has fixed the issues with accessing NVME drives. Not sure how old a Puppy v...

BookwormPup is the obvious candidate - nicely polished with some innovations however I think radky is reluctant to promote / devote energy to BookwormPup64 any further than he already has - and it is currently built by a mixture of Woof-CE builds + local remastering. It really needs to be transferr...

Sure we could vote on what the next newest version of Puppy Linux should be shown on DistroWatch.

But no one votes on adding a new topic to this forum, about a new Puppy version someone develops and releases.

If you want to stop about 80% of people from knowing about new versions of Puppy Linux. Than do not add new info to the Puppy Linux distro section of DistroWatch. If people running DistroWatch do not see some changes being made to the Puppy Linux distro section. They will just close it down or maybe...

Submit New Distribution to distroWatch (how to do it)

https://distrowatch.com/dwres.php?resource=submit

All you need to do is tell them it needs to go into the Puppy Linux distribution as a new Puppy Linux version.

Bought a 2K monitor to go with the GPU. No way to know if it works since I can't see the bios screen, must be too high a resolution for it since I only get a message, (Out of range). If you want good help give us some information. Make and model of the monitor? Connected to the PC how? Even if it d...

The drives are not mounted when Puppy is booted. Puppy does not auto-mount any drives, but the specific one it is booting from. The drive you are booting from will be mounted and have it's icon showing mounted. The drive icons on the desktop are just there to provide a quick way to be able to mount ...

That is basically how it was done recently, but none of the developers are keeping it going. The person(s) that produce the Puppy version really needs to be the one(s) to submit to DistroWatch. They are the only one(s) that have complete knowledge of what is in the Puppy version and how it works. Bu...

Will one of the developers of the newer Puppy Linux versions, please submit your Puppy version for DistroWatch!!!!!!

BookwormPup64
F96-CE
etc...........

Something newer that is not based on Slackware!

Good example of why:
