The trick to using Rox file manager is open two Rox windows. Just click on the desktop file icon twice. In one navigate to what you want to look at. In the other one navigate to where you want to put something. Drag and drop between the two windows. Any item in the Rox window has a right click menu....

With 32bit computers. The exact make and model of the computer would help. (we can look up the specs) Exact specs if you know them. There are some 32bit Puppy versions that may be specifically better to use on this computer. There are some specially made Puppy versions for specific 32bit hardware se...

I’m attempting to install Puppy Linux 32 onto a flash drive for a Dell from 2004. I need to keep this system completely offline. Is there a Linux tool which will create an archive with all the application and dependency files required for an application like Thunar File Manager? I may not understan...

You need to read this about installing additional software: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=1819 S15Pup32 is not getting a lot of support on this forum for compiling software packages for it. It is using a version of Slackware as the source for it's core Linux files and programs. The pa...

I use Frugalpup Installer main program this way to do installs to USB drives. Actually any drives. https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=11171 I know it seems like a lot of steps. But I wanted to make sure it was fully understood what to do and when. When you setup the partitions on the drive...

Maybe the plug in needs to be located in opt/calibre

Jasper That image from Gparted is about file systems (formats) it supports and what it can do with them. So it is not exactly how a Puppy version will support the format. But it is a general info on it. A good place to see if some support software is needed for better support of the format (file sy...

Package Managers? Linux seems to never want to settle on one specific way to package software. :thumbdown: :roll: So what does Puppy do? Have a package manger that only supports pet packaging? Only one that supports deb packaging? Only the package manager that is used with the Linux OS, it is using ...

What you think I said in a post may or may not be what I think I said.

What you read and how you understand it,

May or may not be what I wanted you to understand or how to understand it.

The drive partition must first be mounted to be a selection in the destination drop down menu.

It will only list already mounted locations.

Tried to boot it but it fails and lands on the grub prompt.

Does it provide any info at all?

Try this:
Access the computers bios setup.

If it has option to disable secure boot do that.

Also look for anything about fast boot and disable that.

Welcome to Linux Software!

If you want the Linux OS you produce to be on DistroWatch.

Then you should submit it to them.

That simple.

How do you think Easy OS and Fatdog64 got posted to DistroWatch.

Do wonder why Fatdog64 is not at least in the top 100 page hit ranking

What specific version of vanilla Dpup???

Posting is going to get messy with so many questions to answer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One thing that I see is now always needed in a Puppy version is the Apt Package Manager. Synaptic Package Manager to give it a GUI optional feat...

Error: Unspecified search type".

Maybe change this:

Code: Select all

--set=root --fs-UUID=bf498d22-5de5-49a5-951e-5ac6b01e4489

To this:

Code: Select all

I have one suggestion for the folder name used for the BookwormPup64 frugal install. I have multiple Puppy versions frugally installed on a drive. Each one in it's own frugal install folder. I name the folder the same name as the Puppy version. Example: For bookwormPup64 10.0.6 The folder is named: ...

If dual booting with Windows. This does not apply.

pet and sfs are different ways to package software. A pet package is a Puppy packaging method to provide software to install into the Puppy OS. Download the pet package. Left click on it to install it. Puppy uses a save file/folder that holds anything that is installed. An SFS package of a program. ...

This indicates something is wrong with that kernel SFS.

This is an issue you need to report on the F96CE_XFCE_FUSILLI forum section.

2GB of RAM is enough to operate with. As long as you only run one program at a time. I run Puppy Linux on computers with 2GB of RAM with no issues. But when I stop using a program I completely close it. Before starting another program. Never try to have more than one program running at any time. Thi...

What specific version of EasyOS???

Welcome to Linux software :roll: Never used a Linux software program, that did not have some little bug in it. Wine operation of software has never been 100% perfect. It is more about can it actually run the program. Never indicated what version of BookwormPup64 But you need to be using BookwormPup6...

I assume you are using BookwormPup64 10.0.6 Your image looks normal to me. Not really sure what you are talking about. The desktop tray is never going to be a high end graphics display. Maybe try to install and use a Nvidia specific driver not the nouveau one. This is how to do it in bookwormPup64 1...

Puppy versions are produced by someone that wants to produce one. It is up to that specific Puppy version developer what is in it for programs, features, general operation, etc..... So there is always going to be several versions to choose from. Each one slightly different from the others. No one co...
