Not sure what you mean with 'between boots', it's supposed to be a portable application that doesn't rely on rebooting.

my error Fred,
@Gov, do other configuration changes to brave persist between browser exits and (re)launches?

I get the same result no matter how many times I have run the LAUNCH script. It is also the same result if Brave is running or not.
Just one of those 'quirks', I guess.

Do other configuration changes to brave persist between boots?

At first bootup, assumes hw clock is local time. Subsequent bootups, reads /etc/localtime symlink in the @qv folder and copies it, as well as what it points to, into the initrd. Then, it is hoped, the date will be set correctly. But maybe the code has a problem, if you are getting a day ahead. when...

Patience ! No need to rush IMO, radky will probably respond sooner or later and you really need his approval, I'd say.

yes, it's only a nomination thus far
Has @666philb ever mentioned why he visits less frequently?

Please note that i am a layman only. I have downloaded 2 grub. gz and unzipped. However, not found cfg file inside folder, in order to add boot stanza of QV. Please elaborate. the gz was supplied as an update to https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=337 if you are updating an earlier version...

I am using void and wish to know if https://voidlinux.org/packages/?arch=x86_64&q=MarkText is possibly the same? Yes it is :thumbup2: I use it on KLV-Airedale and KLV-Spectr . but the link shows, (at least for me anyways) No results found . and I have found not all editors render the same resul...

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. you would have to ask distrowatch about that. I was entertaining the idea that the distrowatch listing could point to a pa...

Calling now for some help with the changes in the text. Proposals highly appreciated. Get your name in the history books. At the bottom of https://puppylinux-woof-ce.github.io/ following the section I need more info before deciding to try, there should be a new section titled Other community distri...

@rockedge

I realize that puppylinux.com redirects to https://puppylinux-woof-CE.github.io and woof-ce is specific to puppy................

but is there a way someone who clicks on puppylinux.com can also find out more about all the active projects in the puppy community ie, dogs klvs easys etc?

I've just tried to add my favorite book reader, FBReader to F96-CE v.4 from Puppy Package Manager. Boy, a really ugly ancient version and it crashes. Removed. I've actually only ever used the vastly better, old free Android .apk version 2.0.6 on my tablet. I really love that reader. So I'd like to ...

Sir

Is it possible to load QV from btrfs partition through our old boot loader "refind".

It should be but, have you seen this?

Hello again everyone. I am also learning the first steps in Linux. And the question is, what desktop environment or window manager does Puppy Linux use?

Hi, Manessa
which puppy are you using?

No matter what gets announced on distrowatch, puppylinux.com is the first search result for "puppy linux" and needs to be updated. I think this is way more important than representation on dw. agreed and that page also needs to feature the other kennelmates (dogs, klvs etc), rather than a...

Jeff, it sounds like your are trying to set up a UEFI type boot onto a machine that only needs a MBR boot. Are you trying to keep a Ubuntu install in another partition? More details on your disk layout would help. surely it is bigger than 2.5 G, maybe thats all the space you have available outside t...

Probably much more, but I think the question is: Who decides ? There's no authority present atm who can make some sort of "law" about what and what not. People are doing their own thing now. Btw, personally I think it's fine, lots of creativity , let's stop trying to define what is a &quo...

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, ......... (pupmodes), supports hardware old and new, uses the same core programs, installs as a frugal install, etc............. That to me is a Puppy version....

I am an atypical Linux user. This is evidenced by my reports of multiple issues or problems with the OS. If you are an atypical user, it's even more important to provide additional details. Its not about doubting your credibility, it's simply understanding what actions may have preceded your diffic...

The community does not have a distro that is dedicated to your need. easyos and qv are developed by BarryK who is a member of the community. They allow the user to elect "lockdown" mode, purposely forbidding other partitions or drives from being mounted. https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewf...

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. Why would you expect a puppy dev to keep a distrowatch poll going? Maybe more modest devs would like to h...

maybe the forum should have a poll and make the distowatch decision and edit? nominations for the poll candidates could be be in this thread only nominations accepted by the devloper would be included in the poll perhaps other kennel mates who are not already on distrowatch should be eligible for no...

Support for Debiandogs is ended or will soon end according to the website: https://itsfoss.com/debiandog/ Perhaps you mean Debian support for Buster will end soon? That article is 4 years old, BTW. fredx181 is supporting Bookworm https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=5069 If he has not shipp...

Are questions about woof-quantum-vis best posted here or in a particular spot at the github page?

Perhaps there is something at https://bkhome.org/ that outlines the basic usage of woof?

What are the nominal hardware and internet connectivity requirements to do a build?

this version removes the error returned when fin is given without an arguement. when fin is now given without an arguement, it returns the list of finished tasks. # mkdir -p ~/todo/do ~/todo/done # add this code to your .bashrc # type 'todo taskname' at the prompt to add a task # type 'fin taskname'...

Those wishing to install a later version of grub2 can use a debian installer. This procedure creates a "net" install of Debian to a partition and then installs grub-2.06 to the /boot of that partition. you can then relocate the EFI dir and then repurpose the partition for whatever your nee...

I work differently than the typical Linux user I am not sure what the typical linux user does, but I suspect many here like to tweak and tinker with their hardware, OS and installed programs. One should always duplicate the problem with the application as it is downloaded, in an unmodified version ...
