Also very slow here down in KiwiLand today.
Damn Ruskies.

Using the 64bit Seamonkey I am unable to get onto Facebook. Is this a common issue or just me?

But what if the person does not know exactly which iso was used to create their installation? Then an extra bit of detective work may be necessary. I just tried this one liner: ls -lt /initrd/mnt/tmpfs > /root/pupfiles.txt It lists details of my puppy files - including modification date - to a text ...

Second to that. I'm in the midst of a 'divorce' from fossapup64-9.5. I've been 'flirting' with BookwormPup64 in the past few days. I guess tech ain't like wine, which ages gracefully over time. Interested to know why you are divorcing from Fossa9.5 ? Is it because you have recent hardware or for so...

I wonder if it would be possible to write a bash script that collected a bunch of info (including distro_specs) and other stuff that would remove doubt about the puppy under test. Maybe including info such as creation date/time and size of main puppy sfs? Would be handy to ask newbies to click on th...

"It requires modification of some files - then a remaster (or similar) to lock it in permanently." 1. I certainly would have been unable to have done that. 2. By "lock it in permanently" do you mean into the iso file used to install the Puppy? So it would be a permanent feature ...

So what do I do now to get the shutdown/reboot->SAVE/NOSAVE feature? That was a specific modification to the shutdown procedure. Somewhere in the old forum. Don't think I have seen it in this new forum. It requires modification of some files - then a remaster (or similar) to lock it in permanently....

There is various software available for many puppies to allow display of a UVC compliant webcam - but here is another possible way using your browser. Navigate to this webpage: https://apps.ipevo.com/pwa/visualizer.app/ It may allow you to display a realtime feed of your webcam image. (Click on the ...

I am trialling a piece of software that drives a UVC compliant webcam (called a "visualizer" for documents) and it is based on Java. So i think I need a "JRE" to suit F95.

Anyone have any idea what I should load in order to enable running a .jar utility?

Cheers!

it pfix=ram precedes the pfix=fsck,fsckp command switch then it is ineffective
if pfix=ram follows the pfix=fsck,fsckp command switch then it is effective

Would it be valid to write it this way :
pfix=fsck,fsckp,ram

Sylvander has already got nearly 3 pages of posts about this in the main F96-CE topic. Not much point posting here now..!

Ooops. Sorry - was just responding to his previous comment. Will check the other thread.

a) The advantage of the existing desktop is that it has the "FossaPup64 CE" title displayed, and none of the others have that. Is it possible to add that? b) How do I get the image files downloaded, and where to? Hi Sylvander - from your answer I think you want a desktop that resembles th...

1. I'm now posting this from within "FossaPup64 CE->Firefox ESR" [up-to-date 115.9.1 1esr (64-bit)]. 2. The booting of this 64-bit FossaPup64 from the CD-RW is TOO SLOW for my liking. Is that because it's booting from CD? Boot speed is a function of: a) Speed of the source media. (CD is s...

Grub2config-2.0.2 Download: http://smokey01.com/radky/Apps/grub2config-2.0.2.pet This release by the Puppy community is a minor update of Shinobar's original v2.0.1. Sorry for the dumb question - but is this utility suitable for 32bit pups? (currently trialling a version of Dpup Stretch 7.5)

greengeek

But it has been so long since I installed a Puppy, I've forgotten how to do it. I found lots of CD-R's and CD-RW's, which is best to use? My Slacko is on a CD-RW. Given that you actually have good hardware - i feel you have a huge variety of choices. - If you really wish to stick with Slacko 5.7 as...

greengeek

So is my motherboard 64-bit? Yes, 64 bit with approx 8GB of RAM. Perfect for trialling pretty much any pup you wish to try. (You appear to have no swap set up though - so I would suggest setting up a swap partition at some point once you have decided which pup or pups you will use into the future...)

Oooh, you have lots of Puppy options with that mobo...
Fossa 9.6 (F96-CE4) would be a great option to try from CD just as a 64bit taster...

I'm 77 years old, haven't been here at the Puppy forums for many years. Welcome back! Your long absence proves just how good those old Slacko's were! I've uploaded an up-to-date FF32-portable to MediaFire.....this is v124.0. You're welcome to download it and try it - You can find FF32-portable here...

I started this project because my son lives on a rural farm block that has no mains power and needed an alternative way to reliably power his Compaq Presario CQ60 laptop. He loves Puppy Linux and his main focus is using Librecad so I have tailored several Puppies to have Librecad built in - as well ...

Hope questions are still ok despite the closed status - I have a question about the Abiword within Fossa Mid (probably applies to Abiword elsewhere too but F95 Mid is still working great for me...) Abiword shows the option of Times New Roman font but I have been unable to work out where it gets this...

If dpup-Stretch does not already have frugalpup you can download it from here, https://www.forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=50416#p50416 . In fact, I'd recommend that you install the latest (improved) pet if dpup-stretch has a builtin; or download and sfs-load the latest sfs if you didn't insta...

..The settings for the placement of the icons on the desktop. These settings are stored in the eventmanager file in /etc Thanks bigpup . I have now tried experimenting with this eventmanager file and it is definitely the key to getting the drive icons where I want them - however I can't find a way ...

Not a solution - but an interesting xrandr function is able to scale the desktop. (Unfortunately still leaves the video origin (0,0) at top left of the screen but may have some uses...) Increase the screen size by 20% (zoom-out): xrandr --output <screen-name> --scale 1.2x1.2 eg xrandr --output LVDS-...

Don't know why I could not see it.
Obviously it is at: /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin just where it should be.

The Stretch repos still exist, but frozen. They've just been moved to archive, but changing them in old versions of Puppy isn't trivial iirc. Here they are. (edit better link) http://archive.debian.org/debian/README http://archive.debian.org/debian/ I don't understand the content at that link - I e...

IF DPup 'Stretch' will run peebee's 64-bit_compat SFS directly (I'm thinking it should), you ought to be able to run 64-bit browsers right there in DPup 'Stretch'.....without need to resort to the chrooted Puppy. I haven't tried it - I mainly do this with a special build of Xenialpup 7.5 I set-up s...

greengeek

In this case, Ian, it mostly boils down to how much RAM & storage you have available! Don't forget; to achieve this effect - running 64-bit browsers inside a 32-bit Chroot, then accessing those browsers from your 32-bit Puppy - you're essentially running two Pups at the same time. Yes, this may...

greengeek

It's pretty sad that a useful Puppy becomes EOL just because the Debian repos go offline. I am having to use Dpup Stretch because it is one of the few modern puppies that correctly support the wifi interface in a Compaq CQ60 laptop - so I will need to find as much software for that distro as I can. ...

greengeek

Thanks for this Mike! I am still in the position of having to keep some 32bit puppies running so this is great news. I've been experimenting with Dpup Stretch 7.5 as a Slacko 5.6 replacement (purely to get newer browser accessibility....) but it's not an easy fit. The idea of being able to port mode...

greengeek

Does anyone know where the PuppyPin has gone in Dpup Stretch 7.5 (32bit) ?

I need to move the trash icon somewhere away from top left.

And I want to add the Home icon to top left instead of the current Trash icon.

Thanks for any tips!
