Why build .pet and not SFS language packs? Well, it is not impossible to provide a language pack in the form of sfs packages such as adrv sfs. In fact, I used the method to create a Japanized version of Fossapup64. I am not sure whether it is appropriate to call it a language pack. It is part of an...

Many language packs (including mine) are in the form of pet packages. If Puppy doesn't have a means to handle pet packages, users will have to localize Puppy for themselves. Language packs do not only consist of fonts and translations, but also an input method, especially in the case of Asian langua...

Once you start replacing Ubuntu packages with "foreign" packages from other distros or other Ubuntu versions, your Puppy becomes less and less compatible with Ubuntu. apt works so well because of the uncompromising design decision of staying close to Ubuntu (for example, the /usr symlinks...

libxcvt 0.1.2 is out, with the fix for fullscreen Xwayland on 1366x768: https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg/2022-July/061047.html. The Ubuntu bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libxcvt/+bug/1970021) is now "confirmed", so I hope to see the fix in https://repology.org/project/lib...

I assume from this that you're one of those that absolutely MUST have the very newest of everything all the time. (Which is an awfully "unstable" place to inhabit, if you don't mind my saying so... :roll:) You can't really expect to 'push' our Puppy devs into working on stuff they may not...

It does not appear that the development of Slacko 8.x is advancing. As for Jammypup64, there isn't even a thread related to its development. I know about Jammypup64 9.7b by Grey. I think it is fairly satisfactory for a test build. I also know that Vanilla Upup is based on ubuntu jammy, and have been...

If you have space on your system drive, I would create the following 2 partitions: a SWAP partition of 4GB a partition that is used for your persistence Thanks for your advice. People may think I am stubborn, but I continue to use the save file method. You need not create a new partition and format...

I do not quite understand what tosim is trying to convey, but I am wondering why the development of a jammy64 based pup and a slackware (version 15) based pup, which are going to be official pups in the future, is not under way. If the original developers can't continue the development for some reas...

How much RAM does your PC have for the multiple OSes you run?

What I mean is that more than one pup is installed in the windows partition, and one of them is running at a time.
My PC has 4GB RAM, and the preinstalled OS is Windows 10.

After you get everything straightened out, use the Save2SFS module of nicOS-Utility-Suite, viewtopic.php?t=1694 to capture a SaveFile or SaveFolder in either a ydvr.sfs or a adrv.sfs. Thanks for your advice. I remember turning a save file manually into an adrv sfs to create a Japanized version of F...

I wonder where the 900 MB figure comes from, it's way more than what I see. Sorry. I was running Vanilla Upup in RAM only mode. It seems that the number included SFSs copied onto RAM. After creating the save file, about 360MB of the 512MB save file was consumed. The --no-install-recommends option, ...

Hello. Why not announce that a new version has been released? Unless you post a new message, this thread will not appear in "Active Topics." :) I have installed 22.04.61. To start Chrome (official package from Google), libnss3 and libnspr4 are needed. To start Firefox (official bz2 archive...

Examining the binaries used in MikeWalsh's portable Chrome & 'Chromium Clones' from ScPup64 with ListDD revealed these 'missing' libs, libatk-bridge-2.0.so.0, libatspi.so.0. But Slimjet in addition to those also found libgtk-3.so.0 and libgdk-3.so.0 'missing'. ScPup64 is different from other pu...

Hello. The following is the result of running xrandr: ~$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 16 x 16, current 1366 x 768, maximum 32767 x 32767 XWAYLAND2 connected 1360x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 310mm x 170mm 1360x768 59.80*+ 1360x768 (not 1366x768). Is this the way it should be? If no...

I tested slackel64 7.5 (based on slackware 15) and slackel64 7.4 (based on slackware 14.2). Both work fine with chrome 102.0.5005.61. I tested fatdog64-812. It works with the latest chrome. As I wrote before, fossapup64 and jammypup64 9.7b work fine with Chrome 102 or later. I wonder what change ha...

Try to reboot, the "restart the graphical server" thing doesn't truly log out. It only restarts the compositor. First I have to apologize. :oops: I tried rebooting to find that applications start in Japanese under the Japanese environment. I wrote environment variables for fcitx in /usr/b...

Have you tried to log out or reboot? LANG is set by /etc/profile, so this happens before X (or Xwayland). Of course I have. You will always be prompted to restart the graphical server after changing the locale. As far as the graphical server is concerned, the previous version seems to be better. It...

Sorry for disappointing you, but I made another test. This time I chose "de_DE.UTF-8," though I know German only a little. When I tried to start geany by clicking the icon, it started in English. When I executed "export LANG=de_DE.UTF-8" and then "geany" in the terminal...

You'll need to load the nlsx SFS, it's inside vanillaupup-22.04.55-extra.tar. The test was made with the nlsx sfs loaded. That's because the other Puppy is configured to use local time and not UTC time. I chose "Asia Tokyo" with "utc" unticked, on Vanilla Upup. So the clock shou...

Hello. I installed Vanilla Upup 22.04.55 to test it in the Japanese environment. I chose the following in quicksetup: language: ja_JP.UTF-8 time zone: Asia Tokyo (local time, not utc) keyboard: jp japanese When I run "locale" command, it returns "ja_JP.UTF-8." However, applicatio...

I tried to load Chrome 102 sfs again, and this time it was loaded successfully. I may have done something wrong last time I tried. But at the same time I suspect that the previous failure was due to the usb stick. I am booting Vanilla Upup from a usb stick. I erased the save file and started over f...

Don't take this version seriously It was made to test some features of woof-ce (although vodka was not used this time ). I think your "test" was successful to a large extent. Jammypup64 9.7b is running fine except for a few minor issues on my machine. It didn't take me much trouble to mak...

dimkr and mikeslr I tried to load Chrome 102 sfs again, and this time it was loaded successfully. I may have done something wrong last time I tried. But at the same time I suspect that the previous failure was due to the usb stick. I am booting Vanilla Upup from a usb stick. When I tried to start C...

Thanks for quick responses from you two. But I see that Chromium is not selected. SFSs selected for load at boot time are highlighted, like docx and nlsx. Click the Chromium SFS and reboot. The picture was misleading, because it was snapshot just after reboot. Before the reboot, I had selected Chrom...

Can you share a screenshot of sfs_load? After I created a save file, that is, at second boot, extra sfs(es) appeared in the list. I had not understood correctly. Sorry for the mess. So, docx and nlsx were loaded successfully at 3rd boot. But Chrome 102 (sfs) was not loaded even though I had selecte...

Just select it and reboot.

I placed docx sfs and nlsx sfs in the same directory as the main sfs, but the two sfs(es) do not appear in the window of sfs_load.

Where should an extra sfs be placed in order that it will be listed in the "queue?"

Hello.

I would like to know how to load an extra sfs.
I am new to this version of sfs_load.

mikeslr and dimkr Thanks for your comments and advice. After searching the Internet for a while, I tried writing environmental variables into /etc/environment. This enabled me to input Japanese with fcitx 4.x. How to activate input methods on Wayland is not yet well known. And there seems to be mor...

I am sorry to say that wayland is not always compatible with existing input methods. I wonder if there is anyone among the developers of Puppy, who is familiar with Asian languages. I have made a Japanese language pack for Jammypup64 9.7b. I installed Vanilla UPup and tried to Japanize it, but so fa...

There are 2 options, I can think of, that could help on this concern The Chrome Forum Join Chrome development community which gives access to Chrome code changes Could this help? Thanks for your interest. I am afraid that both Chrome and Puppy are responsible for this issue. With Chrome 101 or earl...
