I compiled it in F96-CE_4 , so 64 bit. The source code can be compiled as 32 or 64 bit which is dependent on the system it is built on. That's weird - I tested it on the same version of F96 but had the Glibc failure. Would you have tested it with devx still loaded? Might that have been the reason w...

greengeek

Ok, my Lx64Pup compiled wxyzv also gives glibc errors in fossa64. So I downloaded the fossa64 devx & did: ./cobfigure --prefix=/usr make and then received this error message: error: ‘min’ is not a member of ‘std’; did you mean ‘fmin’? 153 | winwidth = std::min(rotimgwidth, screen_width); | ^~~ ...

Just been ripping CDs and used PPM to download Asunder - which worked fine to create wavs but could not convert to mp3 as it was not happy with missing "lame" ("not in path") so I wondered if anyone has ripped CDs to mp3 and if so what is your method please?
Cheers!

greengeek

rockedge muggins Thanks for the help. I am somewhat hampered by the fact that I am testing with Ozsouth's Fossa 9.5 "Mid" (very stripped Puppy) and have not found the devx yet so my attempt at compiling doesn't complete successfully. Over the years I have compiled a couple of things succe...

Hi, I would like to test image viewer "wxyzv" but do not have confidence in my ability to compile. Is there anyone willing to have a go?? Please see here: https://flaterco.com/wxyzv.html Sadly I don't even know if this is 32bit or 64bit - but I am guessing 32bit due to 1999 release date. (...

Can this utilise usb webcams, or does it require IP cams?

greengeek

See if you can identify what graphics card or chipset each laptop has. (nvidia? radeon? etc)

greengeek

Or, you can put it somewhere a bit more permanent (outside the 'save', naturally!) and dive inside to run the MenuAdd script (rt-clk -> Look inside). Thanks for the tip about MenuAdd. Makes it so much easier to use. Testing this on Fossa 9.5 "Mid" (Ozsouth's pretty lean version of Fossa.....

Python3-3.9.18 is in the devx of S15Pup With devx loaded I just did a test of yt-dlp downloader which depends on python3 and it worked OK Where within the devx are you seeing it? I see /usr/include/python2.7 but not 3.x I will try with the python3 links peebee and yourself have posted and see how i...

greengeek

Hi peebee, I am trialling Spup15-64bit and struggling with utilities that require Python3

I could not find python3 in the PPM or in the devx.

Do you have any idea if the S15 64bit pup is suitable for software using Python3? cheers!

... running qtqr fails due to many missing dependencies. If anybody here is able to read qr-code images on a desktop pc, please let me know... Here is a pet and an sfs for running QtQr on Fossa96 generic. Use at own risk. (ie test first without save file) (If you have a save file or save folder ple...

greengeek

HerrBert asked questions in another thread regarding methods to create and read QR codes - so I have tested the "QtQr" utility on F95Mid generic and created a pet and an sfs for it. QtQr allows the user to do the following: - Create QR codes of various different forms (eg text, sms, url, e...

Err....."snap"! https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=9700 This of course 'creates' the things... I seem to remember using one of your portable browsers (probably either Opera or Vivaldi) to create QR codes of webpages. It was an inbuilt function of the browser but I dont recall ex...

I have been wanting to "De-Google" an android phone and it seems that the needed software is "adb" and "fastboot". ADB is "Android debug Bridge" that talks to the Android phone in a similar way to MTP software (but greater functionality) and "Fastboot&quo...

ROX calls it "List View"

Yes of course. Clever.
Thanks!

greengeek

Might be better to save minimal customisations (keyboard, timezone, etc etc) to an sfs (via nicos suite) and customise it into the iso and burning closed dvd.

Then forget about any session saving.

When I use ROX I find it annoying when windows resize and the display changes too much - so that files I have been working with jump to strange positions within the display window. I know I can force ROX to "never resize windows" - but it still causes some issues. In particular when I move...

So for banking and other sensitive personal use a better choice is to use a Linux distro that is not running as root user. There seem to be plenty of hacking examples impacting companies that already avoid using root user so being non-root user in your own computing is definitely no guarantee of sa...

You can try QuickPup64

Any link?

nicOS didn't help me I've realized that there is no fully automatic way to remaster Puppy.

True.
Which is your preference - boot from CD/DVD - or boot from hard drive or usb stick?

greengeek

I have two concerns: 1. I've tried some Puppy flavours (Void, Fossa, Jammy) and I see that none of them prompts to remove media (DVD) before shutdown/reboot. How can I fix it. I.e. when my pupils turn-off computer DVD will remain in the drive and I don't want that. I'd have to reboot each machine a...

When ya start building GUIs, there's no end of "design" considerations to take into account, too, y'know..... Actually youve just reminded me of something amazing that SFR created on the old forum. I have just posted it as a future reference to try to learn some better gui skills: https:/...

greengeek

Not sure if there is already a GTK gui programming thread somewhere - but just wanted to post here an example that I would like to use as a reference for teaching myself how to make a gtkdialog gui that is wider (Landscape mode) rather than taller (Portrait mode). This example is from SFR in the old...

greengeek

Does GTK-dialog allow dual columns to be used? Good question. I confess I don't know the answer unfortunately. I certainly like the look of your yad guis - but I just try to do what I can with the basics that "come in the tin". Especially with something like Ozsouth's Fossa Mid and Fossa ...

Here is a small pet that offers a way to use the inbuilt webcam on a laptop without loading guvcview or other weighty software. (Uses the ffmpeg code that comes as standard in "Less") It loads two files into /root: - "mirrorcam" is a RoxApp that displays the output of /dev/video0...

greengeek

Test version v12: Good compatibility. In running compatibility tests I discovered that Fossa9.5 "Less" is a bit limited with which video formats it can handle and is a bit picky about how mp4 files are formatted. (It uses Palemoon as a default media player and needs pix-fmt yuv420p as the ...

greengeek

As per my previous post - selecting mpeg4 as the codec increases the chances of the output video being compatible across a wider range of devices. However - I also want to have the option of making file size the determinant factor - so this version DEFAULTS to the previous compatibility preferences ...

greengeek

I have been experimenting to improve reliability of video compatibility across different devices and players and this version is a test version to help with that. Worth a try as it seems quite good for me so far. (Will add to first post when I am fully happy with it) It adds extra output formats (ie...
