IdfbAn At present, the noblepup64 iso is better than the upup-24.04 iso. I mean that the iso you first introduced to us is better. The upup-24.04 iso from ubuntu-noble64-1.zip is no good at all. I tried to switch the language to Japanese, but it did not include locales. It is not usable to other pe...

I am experimenting with NoblePup64. Connman worked without the dhcpcd package. This became possible probably because I replaced the fdrv with the one borrowed from bookwormpup64. It seems that openGL is broken, or something essential is missing. That is why mpv starts with a blue screen. So --vo=x11...

So, the only steps to get it working were to install the following packages: FFMpeg dhcpcd dhcpcd-base Frisbee (PET) Are the packages just found via Launchpad? As for dhcpcd and dhcpcd-base, yes. I borrowed the fdrv sfs from bookwormpup64, which included suitable firmware for my wi-fi adaptor. fris...

For testing during development Thanks for your reply. I think I have to be more tolerant. But it would be better if woof-CE had some "sanity check" function. Edit: I have japanised NoblePup64, and it works almost fine after some adjustments. At present, the noblepup64 iso is better than t...

You should be able to find development builds in https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/w ... oble64.yml (click a "workflow runs" row, then go to Artifacts). I tried the iso. The wi-fi network setup is OK. But mpv starts with a blue screen. The most annoying thing is that no locales are in...

@Jasper and @dimkr Thanks for your reply and advice. I think I understand what you say about the fdrv. It is strange that the fdrv generated with the default setting of ubuntu 24.04 does not include a suiable firmware for my hardware. Anyway I have found the workarounds as to my wi-fi adaptor and mp...

dimkr Thanks for your reply. But I am no computer expert, and all I can do is to report what has happened on my machine. As I posted above, there seem to be some things missing in the iso. Are they going to be introduced in the iso in the near future? And one more thing. The fdrv is too large, but ...

I have succeeded in playing a video with mpv. I installed ffmpeg. I put yt-dlp in /usr/bin and created a link to it as youtube-dl. I used the following command to play a youtube video: $ mpv --ytdl-format="(mp4)[height=720]" " URL " --vo=x11 mpv tries to play a video with openGL ...

I have succeeded in connecting to the Internet. I added the dhcpcd and dhcpcd-base packages from ubuntu noble. (gdebi does not work without the devx sfs.) I replaced the fdrv with the one borrowed from bookwormpup64. (/var/log/messages had reported that there was no suitable firmware.) Then I used f...

Hello. I installed the release-240125. glxinfo and glxgears return an error message. I installed libglx-mesa0_20.3.5-1 (bullseye) and the error disappeared. By default, libglx-mesa0_23.0.4 is installed, but isn't this a case of misconfiguration? Another thing I notice is that hardinfo reports that m...

I tried downloading bionicpup32-8.0-uefi.iso. I also have bionicpup32-8.0+30-uefi.iso downloaded from another place.
These two ISOs return the same md5sum. So bionicpup32-8.0-uefi.iso at ibiblio is bionicpup32-8.0+30-uefi.iso.

I suggest that the download link in puppylinux.com should point to the +30 iso. I confirmed that the iso located at ibiblio is that of +30. Thanks, peebee. I understand that it is the +30 iso, even though its file name does not include the string "+30." I am afraid that hardinfo and power...

I thank you for having developed bionicpup32. However, the iso published recently is very different from the first official release. 4.19 and 5.4 are no longer supported on Github Woof-CE so had to change to 5.10..... I am afraid that what is happening may be a mismatch between the kernel and the pa...

Can you try the kernel from a previous version? I tried the 5.4.239 kernel from focalpup32. This solved both the problems. The current download link of bionicpup32 leads us to sourceforge . Of cource it is optional whether we update our bionicpup32 or not, but I am afraid the current situation will...

Hello. I have installed the release 231111, and the following is what I notice. After I set up the network, the network icon in the tray disappeared. The icon in the tray which shows the battery status does not appear. To my surprise, hardinfo reports that there is no battery. Of course the battery ...

Duprate Thanks for taking an interest in the problem and finding a solution. Unfortunately my machine still does not go into "sleep" state. There seems to be another factor, but we have proceeded in the right direction. P.S. There is no such file as /proc/acpi/sleep in S15Pup32. But other...

With devx_dpup_10.0.2.sfs loaded, after changing my locale designation to ja_JP.UTF-8, I tested momanager by selecting /usr/bin/grub-kbdcomp (ja grub.mo) in the mo drop-down list and then I clicked the Edit button. At this point, grub.po loaded successfully in Geany (L3afpad did not appear). Thanks...

Hello. I have 10.0.2 installed on a hard drive with a save file newly created on 10.0.2. Somehow MoManager doesn't work. See the attached picture. When I try to edit the file sfs_load.mo, geany and l3afpad open at the same time. Strangely, geany opens sfs_load.po, but the file is blank. L3afpad open...

The CPU Frequency Scaling Tool (wcpufreq) is a legacy Puppy application (released in 2010). It is now broken for some central processors. For example, Intel resources may no longer provide required cpu frequency data, in which case the frequency comboboxes of wcpufreq are empty. I see. One of my ma...

Hello.

I have noticed the following two things so far.

I am afraid that the script conky-gtk lacks the two lines which enable the localization/internationalization.
export TEXTDOMAIN=conky-gtk
export OUTPUT_CHARSET=UTF-8

I suggest that wcpufreq should be included like other puppies.

The priority order doesn't usually matter. It is only when two files having the same name try to locate the same location in RAM that a potential conflict exist and the priority rule is implemented. As far as I can tell, files relating to language have their own, unique, locations. I agree. I don't...

you may want to designate your 'alphabet' SFSes as ydrv rather than adrv. A senior member of the Japanese forum used to use an adrv sfs to japanize puppies. I am not sure whether the settings in the adrv sfs will conflict with settings in other alphabet SFSes, but I would like the settings related ...

Hello. I have created a Japanized iso of Jammypup64 9.8. https://sakurapup.com/forum1/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=3638 It includes kernel 5.15.70 offered by ozsouth in order that it can boot from the ntfs partition. The adrv sfs is added which contains files related to Japanese. The main sfs is compres...

Hello. I have tried S15Pup32 only recently. I notice that it does not go into the sleep state. The same machine running S15Pup64 goes into the sleep state. When I execute the "acpitool" command, it returns an error message. (see the attached picture) When I try to look in /proc, the ROX-Fi...

Is it possible to boot Puppy OS with a boot-strap configured with GRUB for DOS in a UEFI PC or must I install a UEFI bootloader? If you would like to create a usb stick ready for both a uefi PC and a legacy bios PC, grub2config by shinobar or frugalpup by gyrog will do the job. They install both bo...

Thanks for the version 40.

I opened a thread about frugalpup in the Puppy Linux Japanese Forum.
https://sakurapup.com/forum1/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=3633

frugalpup40_NLS-ja.pet, which will install the .mo file in its appropriate place, can be downloaded from there.

Hello.

I downloaded frugalpup 39, but the screens of e3stickpup and e4stickpup seem to be the same as f2stickpup.

Although to do a proper job it probably needs a human translator, to at least review/edit the result. I agree. I think many French people and German people, for example, understand English. Though learning English is compulsory to junior high school level in Japan, English can be an obstacle to Jap...

Thanks for the version 39b4.

I modified (improved) frugalpup.mo (ja).
Translations are affected by the context. I looked at various dialog screens and thought that translating a sentence word by word is not enough. Automatic translation by google, etc will be far from satisfactory.

Here's a suggestion, convert your Japanese language pack into a ".sfs" instead of a ".pet". I prefer using a pet package, because it can contain install scripts. Simply turning it into an sfs such as adrv sfs will not work. But it is not impossible to use adrv sfs as a language ...
