Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I forgot to mention this issue when i first use raspup. I unable to launch vivaldi.sfs made using the sfs downloader. I tried to launch vivaldi-stable as root, but what i got was 'segmentation fault' error. I recalled tried to download vivaldi.sfs as 'spot' too, but still failed to launch vivaldi. C...

There are so many dialogs and confirmations "And note, I said primal, not primitive!" - professor Hartridge in the game Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers. If we completely go into icons and pictures - without dialogues and confirmations - we simply degrade, pick up a stone ax (or club) ...

Hi samedog , i am very impressed by your works too. I use raspup on raspberry pi zero every day as a low power computer, mainly for lite browsing and writing. The raspberry pi zero's ram limitation is a big problem. After we loaded raspup (with save file) into ram, the usable memory becoming quite l...

Original article here: https://9to5linux.com/hands-on-with-raspup-on-raspberry-pi-4-puppy-linux-for-tinkerers Most things work, like Wi-Fi, all the utilities, spreadsheet and word processors, image and documents viewers and editors, email, chat, etc. I can even install new packages from the reposito...

thanks!!!

If you are running from USB flash nothing is written to the save file if save interval is zero and you didn't save manually. Though, after a reboot you would need to install the program again. If you are running from hard disk everything is saved immediately - always. There's some tricks to let har...

Can you post the link from where you downloaded the Portable Firefox?

Which puppy are you using?

Most companies do not allow this, but I guess yours does. Using Puppy like this. You have total control of the computer and are not a restricted user. Like most users of Windows on company computers. Usually they only allow the company computer tech department have total control. Thats right bigpup...

foxpup : Thanks. As i am just a ordinary puppy user without much understanding in linux installation/boot process, looking at the menu entry of frugalpup, and their helppage.... and the old forum thread... Still trying hard to understand. Jafadmin : Thanks for the instructions! In the process of ex...

I am a 'full-time' puppy linux user. ;p My job required me to switch pcs often, and as I do not like to use the default Windoze OS, I usually just plug in my puppy pendrive, and boot puppy, then start working. However, as my company start to 'modernise' the PCs, more and more UEFI PCs are replacing ...

Hi @911 Check this post i made a usb using grub4dos... Please feel free to coment if has any bug https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=7067#p7067 Cheers,!! Thanks! By using the above "manual" method, i am able to create a bootable fossapup64 usb with the same .iso. Hence, it is con...

Glad i found this post before i create a new one. I am able to reproduce (or bump into) the same issue/screen when tried to boot Fossapup64. I changed Fossapup64-9.5.iso to Fossapup64-9.5.img, then use EasyDD to write the .img to a 8gb usb pendrive with FAT32 partition. All this is done with my trus...

wow, glad to know that!!!

maybe you can try vivaldi?

thanks @smokey01 for the tips!
Will follow the tutorials in the newsletter tonight after work.

Just tried pkg-cli on frugal installed dpup stretch. So far everything went smooth. However, there is a build command under pkg-cli which i think will compile packages from source in an easy way.
Can anyone teach me how to use it to compile packages?

When use no-sandbox argument, did u manage to launch chromium??

Try the vivaldi sfs from the link. It is chrome-based too.

try in terminal:

chromium --no-sandbox


then see whether chromium can launch..

other method: install .sfs browsers then launch it

hope can help you

DD and puppy are not the same, but they hv many similarities. Many .sfs packages for puppies will work under DD too. You can always try to install DD and experiment. If the install broken, a reboot without save with make your puppy or DD 'fresh' again.

I wonder if the info is in the title bar and not the prompt. ?

not title bar, click the original post, and you will see. Really good looking.

As in this picture posted by sc0ttman, his terminal displays info such as power, wifi, user info etc on every input.



Not sure thou, whether it is urxvt specific. I personally prefer lxterminal.

Why i use puppy as my main os (around 3 years currently): 1. I can boot my personal puppy os on any desktop/laptop in my office whenever i need to. 2. All my files/work always with me (in the pendrive ya know) 3. Very forgiving (i can test all sort of packages, tweaks, just reboot and my puppy is br...

Hi, i fell in love with the terminal looks as on the first post on this thread: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=112927 But, after few days of google search, i cant figure out how these effects were implemented. Can anyone show me what it is, or which packages to install in order to get ...

+1 on reinstall. Create 2 partition, eg sda1 and sda2. Install puppy to sda1. Choose to save on shutdown. Only choose to save when needed or important changes are made. Move and save your stuffs, downloads to sda2. This way, the savefile will be slim. And your puppy will always in "Fresh" ...

dpup-stretch is good candidate for these older hardware. u can try it. Running stable and modern. It fixed lots of bug from older puppies. I use this single puppy on my old laptop, and new i7 machines.

Any idea, out of pure curiosity, exactly what CPU/system-on-a-chip you're running in there? Hi mike, i just running the raspberry pi zero as a travel-to-go ultra portable pc together with a powerbank, a phone, and a wireless keyboard. Sometimes i hooked up a tv monitor for bigger display. (too lazy...

The pet made by Oscar is very easy to use. Just follow the instruction and update vpnbook's password every few weeks will do.

Hope can help you. =)

thanks williams2 for the tip. This issue probably due to the bug in raspup wcpufreq or problem with my savefile. i chose the governor 'performance' via echo performance > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor then, i put this script in the startup folder so it run every boot. since p...

For Clamav, you need to type in terminal "freshclam" during first run. (and dont forget to comment out the config file!) =D
If it need you to specify a user, just type "freshclam -u root" and clamav should starting to download the antivirus database.
