Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hello bigpup Well, it seems I put a false proposal - that my kbd settings were lost. I just re-booted and fonts have been preserved . So NOW my complaint is false. This is what happened. And I owe you a very big apology for wasting your time. For many months (probably years) Puppy switched reliably ...

G'day all and woof ! On my desktop I configured 'alternate (Russian) kbd' on my desktop. I do this - as you expect - with menu -> setup -> Puppy setup -> keyboard mouse (etc). At the end I have an Australian kdb and a Russian kbd available. I swap between these two using Left Alt and Left Shift keys...

bigpup Is this what you want: Operating System: Distro Name fossapup64 9.6 (x86_64) Woof-CE Build testing;cd5dcd04f;2023-01-21 15:35:41 I got this using :: menu -> system -> PupSysInfo -> File -> System Reports -> Summary <click> Then copy & paste. Cobaka

Hello Jasper , mikewalsh & mikeslr Mike - you had a 'go' at running this - but seem to have fallen away in the last week or so. I notice you re-located discussion to other topics too. I'm keen to re-activate this topic; I would like (very much) to introduce speech-to-text on Fossa 96CE (and othe...

Hello Jasper and mikewalsh The state of the game at the moment. I thought I had the software installed correctly. I found a microphone and using gWaveEdit (from the menu) saw the VU meter move to center scale when I spoke etc. The mic is connecting to Puppy in some fundamental way. At this point I f...

Jasper A summary of this posting : The software is in place, but I haven't plugged in/used a microphone. The rest of this thread describes getting/installing the software. Very routine. I'll write about using the microphone in a new message. o-o-o Following on from previous posting. I needed to get...

Hello Jasper My puppy seems to lack "pip" This is what 'bash/terminal' told me: pip install cffi bash: pip: command not found python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip /usr/bin/python3: No module named pip python3 -m pip install /usr/bin/python3: No module named pip find / -iname "pip"...

Continuing from the previous post (Tue, Mar 5th at 8:58) I'm trying to install/run speech to text - following Jas[er's success. I'm still at the beginning of the process - but I'm confident I will get "there". I have discovered I don't have "pip" or "pip3" on my PC. I r...

Hi mikeslr & Jasper I found the DevX file (and - embarrassment, embarrassment - when I went to save it discovered it was already on my HDD. Yes, in a folder /mnt/sda2/software/Puppy_Linux_masters/Fossa64/ What an unusual place to keep the DevX file. Strange but true! Loaded DevX. Confirmed by me...

Hello sparky1234 & woof My eeePC A friend gave me an eeePC. I installed 'Friendly' Pup on it. I run WiFi to the internet via a modem in the house. Speaking generally, the "eee" is in my workshop - a metal structure not conducive to the reception of a weak UHF radio signal from the mode...

Hello all I'm at the beginning of the process to get/run Jasper's speech-to-text application. Jasper wrote: You will need to load up the DevX.SFS first (tested only in FP95) as you will need to use Python and Git. I'm using FossaPup 96. I don't know a lot about DevX (of DevX.sfs). At first Jasper sa...

Request for help with FossaPup 96-CE and internet connection . I'm using a standard modem to connect (via copper) to the internet. Ethernet cable between my desktop and the modem. Copper to the exchange. Until recently I used uPupBB32 and 64. The connection wizard was simplicity itself. To set up t...

@emanbel21

(1) What version of LibreOffice are you using?
(2) How did you install this copy of LibreOffice?

Thanks,
cobaka

bigpup Thank you for your observations. I got sound (with FF) in a different way. But first: - thanks to everyone who offered a solution! amethyst , mikeslr and many others. I knew Fossa-96-CE had FF installed, but I chose to install Fossa 95. That's where my problem began. Knowing FF was in 96-CE ...

This is a new thread, continuing from a previous thread, " No sound from FF in Fossa 9v5. (abandoned) " My solution : Install Fossa 9-6. Get Firefox, with sound 'for free'. In short - I abandoned the original idea of re-using a version of Firefox I found in my system directory. Worked befo...

A second thought: I think I'm chasing a possum up the wrong tree. I think I should forget the firefox I have and just use menu > setup > puppy packet manager > firefox (-install-) What do you say Jasper to this wild-eyed idea? I believe I am running a version of FF at the moment without proper conne...

Jasper The journey so far: Jasper suggested: Get apulse from Oscar Talks. Action: Did that. Bash told me I installed apulse: Me: Which aPulse? bash: -> /usr/bin/apulse I conclude: apulse is installed. Then: root# apulse /mnt/home/FireFox/firefox/firefox < cr > ATTENTION: default value of option mes...

Additional observation from FF web.
I asked for the latest version - answer was v122 BUT looking more closely v124 appears to be the latest.
Don't understand this, but I don't think my problem stems from FF version.

ABANDONED. Now trying a new approach in a new thread. In short I downloaded firefox: menu -> setup -> default applications chooser. The result: FF loads, runs but without sound. I will start a new thread, as I am now using firefox from a diff't directory on my PC. - - everything below is history - ...

The question was 'update' or 'leave-as-is'? I got answers from both views - and thanks to all for comments. amethyst - I got the 'real' answer to my "Q" when I tried to down-load Chromium from the link you supplied. uPupBB32 'spat the dummy' - wouldn't allow me to get Chromium. Thanks also...

Hi amethyst Thank you for your reply. About my hardware: All my PCs (especially laptops) are old. The oldest: a Dell 8600 from 2005. It runs a Pentium "M" at 1.6GHz with uPupBB-32. I find it meets my needs - except more and more web-sites want a recent browser . When I use an older FireFox...

Hello all and "woof" I am running uPupBB-64 - but I will shortly move to FossaPup. also - on a different desktop uPup - 'friendly'. For 'friendly 32' my browser is 'as supplied' in the distro. - as Firefox. I think (I'm not sure) the Firefox browser for uPup is mike Walsh's portable. <- mi...

Hello Jasper Below The output redirection ' > ' operator writes to a disk file rather than the terminal [file]. Using a double ' >> ' operator you can append to a file, rather than overwriting the previously written info in the file . And the other 'stuff' puts the file into a different directory - ...

Installing to HDD or Thumb drive? Good "Q". I do both, but I generally install to an internal HDD, not a thumb drive. I abandoned Windows a long time ago; that means I can (and do) re-format the HDD to install a Puppy. Generally I use MikeSLR's "manual installation using ROX file mana...

Hello Wall_axe mikeslr instructions are detailed and work well. After you have done this two or three times you will easily install Puppy to any drive without referring to Mike's notes. It's blindingly easy to use. Trust me! I used his method to install various versions of Puppy (including multiple ...

Hello all - and woof!

In the application "sound recorder" what does the message "unable to set the pipeline to the recording state" mean?

What should I do to make "sound recorder" work.

Thank you all

This posting is about the 'diff' command (from the terminal). I 'diff'd two files that should have been identical. Following observations from MochiMoppel , bigpup , Trapster and Keef I created two new files. (I erased the original files). Again, I used 'duplicate' from ROX. This time I retained the...

Hello all For conclusion - see my second posting I began with the file S15Pup32-22.12-230901.iso and used the command "duplicate" in ROX to create a new file. I called this "file_S15X". I duplicated S15X (using ROX) to create a second file called "file_S15Y". I ran diff...

OscarTalks Following your suggestion to use mhWaveEdit - I found this file in the menu: Menu -> Multimedia -> mhWaveEdit -> < click >! ОК - Found the record button - was able to record "hash". My guess: The microphone I have (USB connector) is not connected to the recording device. I pres...
