Do you have any suggestion for your browser preference(s) when using this particular computer? cheers!

greengeek

Alternatively, do you have a recommendation for an external mic (USB-port preferred) reasonably adequate for recording voice? I don't have a specific answer with regard to microphone - but I have tried quite a number of audio devices that plug in to usb ports and in 80% of cases commonly available ...

I have a "Browser" icon on my toolbar, just to the right of the "desktop" icon. How can I determine what is actually launching when I click on it? How can I remove the icon? How can I remove the associated app? Can I re-associate the "Browser" icon to a browser I choose myself instead of a default ...

There have been some new developments in this voice to text. I wait patiently for it to be GUI developed to make it usable by us old PC mechanics. https://petewarden.com/2024/10/21/introducing-moonshine-the-new-state-of-the-art-for-speech-to-text/ Do you know what it means by an "edge" device?

Sometimes I like to play my entire music directory in the background without having to manually select tracks or change CDs etc. Here is a utility that plays all wavs and mp3 files from the directory you choose. picoplay.jpg . Fossa64Small already includes aplay (for wavs) and madplay (for mp3's) so ...

I have made a mullvad browser pet here for my own use on a cutdown Fossa64 (9.5).
I have not tested it elsewhere so please use caution if you try it.

greengeek

Have been using this Fossa64Small for a while now as my daily driver and it is very capable. Even handles printing and scanning on my Brother MFC. Tonight I have been trialling MullvadBrowser as mentioned here It may be a bit of a controversial browser but supposedly it reduces browser ...

and weird users like me who have no issues with the officially provided LibreWolf.x86_64.AppImage may get new ideas from your script without downloading stuff they already have. Can I ask which link you use to access the Librewolf appimage? (Is it this one: https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects ...

At least one of the early Android devs was trying to emulate some of Puppy's features - so maybe they have finally come full circle ...

Evening, gang.

Well, here it is. The new-to-me Dell Latitude E6430.....running radky's utterly brilliant Bookworm Pup 64

Hi Mike - what's the preferred Office that you are running? Always the same one or do you chop and change?
Cheers!

I'm only recommending pfix=fsckp instead of pfix=fsck , which won't help OP unless the corruption is within a save file and not a partition. Thank you for this critical information - all these years I have been using fsck when I had no save file. Doh!! Very pleased that fsckp sorted out my damaged ...

Just as Climate Change has been accelerated by mankind, If you are suggesting that man's technological progress has accelerated climate change - I strongly disagree. The climate has always changed far more than we currently see - and our technology can help us survive natural extremes. OK FINALLY ...

What happens if you put the appimage and/or portable into /spot before running it? Will it download files into /spot/downloads then? Not a solution, but just as a test.

greengeek

Correction: LibreWolf portable (now) works in fossapup64_9.5, but no downloads or uploads.. In Bookworm. It will not start by using the Launch script, only by clicking on the executable, and there is no saved profile. I just downloaded the Librewolf portable into Fossa64 9.5 and see exactly what ...

greengeek

Now then, gang. After much head-scratching, here is the new 'portable' version of 64-bit LibreWolf. Initially, I thought this was going to be a "no-go". The last few LibreWolf AppImages that I've tried have, without fail, told me that they can't mount.....because Puppy's version of fusermount is ...

I seem unable to download the file listed in first post.
Is the file still available or do I maybe have a problem accessing Mega?

Note to self:
In the morning try installing plotutils from PPM and use plot --help

I took the advantage of Cairo and made a custom calendar widget. Compiles with: gcc -o calendar `pkg-config --cflags gtk+-3.0` calendar.c `pkg-config --libs gtk+-3.0` -Wall @rockedge will you do the honor to test it first in KLV? Is it possible to make a C utility available? Or is it necessary for ...

Very interesting.

emojione-android.ttf is a font installed in Fossapup64 9.5.

Where should one find this in F64-9.5? I looked in /usr/share/fonts but cannot see it.
Cheers!

EDIT: Ahhh - never mind - found it in the adrv.

I am running a "cutdown" puppy that does not have gnumeric installed (I can install it but choose not to at present...) I am measuring data from a battery charging experiment and would like to visualise a "line" of time versus voltage. ie: I would like to visualise a graph of my data. Has anyone ...

I think there are a number of precedents for the behaviour of "starting over". It sometimes suits the specific agendas of the "powerful" - for ordinary citizens to have the past erased - ready to allow "re-programming" with a new reality. I think we saw a similar thing with 911. A single event ...

Try booting a version of Puppy from some other drive, so this problem drive is not mounted. Do e2fsck on this drives partitions. See what that shows. Have now run e2fsck and my drive looks pretty sick: root# e2fsck /dev/sda2 e2fsck 1.45.5 (07-Jan-2020) PupData contains a file system with errors ...

I have a couple of HP laptops that show similar behaviour with the "wifi" button (it is a touch sensitive softbutton/indicator that controls the "hardblock" status. It is not a "Fn" button - it sits above that Fn row) Sometimes I cannot log on to wifi and I can see that wifi button is glowing orange ...

greengeek

When it was setup the way you have it now. Did you make a new partition table, partitions, and format them? Yes, this was a Windows laptop that I picked up from Trademe and I had no desire to keep the original software so used Gparted to write the partition table and reformat. It has been solid and ...

I am a bit worried about the state of my hard drive (Hitachi sata mechanical drive) in my Toshiba S500 laptop. During booting I see strange messages about "buddy" error on an EXT4 partition. Here is the error message seen in dmesg: [ 422.931634] EXT4-fs (sda2): error count since last fsck: 116 [ 422 ...

Lovely work NilsonMorales !
Can't think of an image that better illustrates the history of Puppylinux and the range of work done on this forum.
Fantastic.

It is ironic that "certificates" and "hardware clock" are used as excuses for webpages to not load. Strange world. Seems to me that these are artificial methods to ensure that specific people (Gates) or organisations (Google) can easily fit nose-rings into we mere mortals. Keen for a web that allows ...
