Running this now, my first experience with EasyOS. It's very interesting (which I would expect from a Barry K project). Don't want to hijack the thread, but hello to anybody from back in the old days. I was Nathan F on the old Murga forum. I still remember booting Puppy for the first time as versio...

Cheers for your Inkscape 1.1 appimage @mikewalsh - downloaded just now and working a treat in Fossapup64!
(OTT hmm why can't I "mention" - perhaps this latest autoupdate of Chrome, and its net-nanny-state limitations (grr downloading into spot, etc) is to blame? rant over)

Hi to all devs/contributors to 666philb's Fossapup64 do-ocracy - just a couple of hiccups regarding the official Quickpet portal and repository: 1) A&V > inkscape. inkscape-1.1-fossapup-x86_64.sfs downloads and loads without warnings in SFS-load, but will not run. 2) Browsers > dissenter. That b...

Hi andreyn - in your review, your link to downloadable puppy versions at "https://puppylinux.com/download.html" goes nowhere

Thanks Phoenix and mikeslr for your comments - relieved to see that it isn't just me, I had those appimage successes with the non-Kdenlive editors too. Cheers Phoenix I tried (??) to run any app from terminal to see the dependency/incompatibility errors but I couldn't seem to work out how to have Fo...

Hiyer Mr mikewalsh, I have a desktop unit running FossaPup64 (9.5) set up for a video editing project, and installed Kdenlive19.12.3 via the fossa quickpet. Nice, but a bit behind the latest version 21.12.2 - which is available as an AppImage for Linux - and prolly geared up for Ubuntu as it seems t...

Spasibo, Grey :) apologies for the delayed reply and test of your SummVM2.5.1 (with your Fluidsynth pet pre-loaded, as per your original announcement). The machine I had dedicated for a classic DOS game repository and DBGL/ScummVM ran into acute problems and I have been resurrecting the setup with n...

Hi Grey - in belayed response to this contribution: The ScummVM game engine multiport program is 20 years old . On which we sincerely congratulate them! All this time, ScummVM has been helping adventure lovers (and today not only them) to get acquainted with the classics of the genre in a convenient...

Good luck geo_c ! Zotero loves to make a copy of every file into its own file structure system - one folder per pdf usually which can get unwieldy outside of the Zotero confines (eg searching in a file manager), so I recommend you use the emboldened tip for folders you might already have previously ...

Puppyt

Look at my "desert island" choice of software - Zotero https://www.zotero.org Sure, it's primarily aimed at bibliography construction and research functions, but I also use it to take snapshots of webpages for various projects - all the info is searchable at whatever later stage (when it w...

Thanks so much OscarTalks ! I will check out your *.pet structure for educational purposes - see if I can replicate it for other debs I might come across in future, needing a little finesse in Puppy/menu arrangement. Thanks too for spotting the in-built JRE -I didn't clock that at all. Cheers for ev...

Hi fellow Puppians, a new writing tool has appeared that may be of some interest as it is declared open source (on github): https://quollwriter.com/index.html . Officially currently supporting only its Windows version, a beta deb is available here: https://quollwriter.com/v3beta.html# . The main cav...

...and thanks Grey for the pointer on that massive repository - dizzying number of games indeed! I first took interest in serious collecting after catching the image "list of 100 worthwhile DOS games.jpg". After collecting most of those (not interested in first-person shooters and Carmagge...

Sorry that I missed this earlier, have been distracted with real-world issues: hi Puppyt, from your live boot look in the bad savefile by clicking on it and delete these files if they are there .... /etc/pam.d/login /bin/login /usr/sbin/nologin and see if that fixes it Thanks 666philb - all 3 files ...

Hi, currently running in a crippled manner after receiving the message reported in the subject line: login: PAM Failure, aborting:Critical Error -immediate abort ...Flashing hdd light, keyboard unresponsive - only a hard reboot works.

@ mikewalsh , hey thanks for your contributions, mike - and in strange co-incidence I followed your adventures in AppImages and mirrored them with PortableApps in my Win10 environs. I haven't been back to Puppy on a committed basis for well over a year, so dipping my toes I've missed seeing your Por...

Hi bigpup, thanks for your reply. Currently I'm typing from Vivaldi 3.6 which I installed via DEB https://vivaldi.com/download/ in DevuanPup64. There was a condition to set in the config file to enable running from root without sandboxing which I outline here https://puppylinux.rockedge.org/viewtopi...

Puppyt

@ Clarity, sorry I missed your reply earlier - RL issues have been quite pressing lately: Questions: Are you using nVidia driver? AND, is your monitor VGA/DVI/HDMI? And, is your display device a monitor or a TV? These are becoming increasingly important questions-answers for BOTH video and audio com...

Hi josejp2424, thank you very much for your distro - which aligns with my personal philosophy/understanding of systemd, etc. etc. I am using your distro for a hobby project, a database of working DOS games - mostly "abandonware" - using DOSBox Game Launcher (DBGL https://www.squadrablu.nl/...

Hi Puppians -
my request regards updating official Puppy QuickPet and repositories with the Vivaldi browser https://vivaldi.com. Failing that, a nice tutorial on how to prepare/convert DEB packages etc to enable start menu inclusion, desktop icons and so forth would be handy I think. Cheers

Hiyer - ferreting around for a solution to another problem I have been trying out recent Puppy versions after a long absence. I know that java is still a perennial bugbear, and I don't know where exactly to post notification about requests to update Bionic64 Quickpet, but I noted the issue attached ...

Gnumeric is certainly a "diamond in the rough" when it comes to FOSS spreadsheet software, IMHO. I have *never* had a problem with it and files from across different, sometimes proprietary formats are opened without drama. Seamlessly opens older XLS formats that have required hunting down ...

Hi wanderer and like-minded forum readers, responding to your suggestion to welpe's concern (previous link) that forum organization might descend into the chaos sometimes featured on the Murga forum. Although I will happily support the contention that "Chaos is a form of order", my biggest...

I found out 5 minutes ago of John Murga's passing, and I want to voice my gratitude to his hospitality and foresight in offering his resources to the Puppy Linux Community. My thoughts and well-wishes to the Murga family in this dreadful time. As I have been away intermittently, I assumed the outage...
