I use Fossapup64 + LXDE, so I dont have the option of using the JWM technique, also with BW64 + LxDE. I use super-key + t to get lxterminal opened on the desktop, as alt + t is already taken: # Edit /root/.config/openbox/rc.xml Edit - insert after line ~ 261 <keybind key="W-t"> # windows/s...

I often run Virtual machines under QEMU with a similar setup to yours and have had few problems. But, even with non-virtual puppy OSs I sometimes need to clear the memory caches (especially running WINE) , so this may be helpful in any case. I have adapted what others have written and linked it to a...

HI @nilsonmorales :-

This script works well. Now, how would I store the image from the webcam into a .jpg ???

Geek3579

I download filezilla portable (from portableapps.com ) for the client (windows) end, It works well with pure-ftp in the host.

I have had troubles with some GUIs under wine, and found that running the program in a virtual desktop helped. Its one of the options in wine config, under graphics, I think You can set to size of the desktop to suit, too.

This is a different approach again, and requires a running version of Puppy Linux, eg Fossapup64, Bionicpup64. (I use this basic method to make a disk image in a virtual machine which I then burn to the USB, especially if I am making multiple copies of the USB). I'm sorry but not every step is fully...

I attempted to run nerd-dictation in BW64 and got the same error as mentioned earlier. No success with FP95 which had pulseaudio. Similar in a Debian Dog Virtual machine using QEMU. However, I setup a Jammypup64 virtual machine using QEMU, and it worked first time. The audio passthrough (using switc...

I prefer to copy whole partitions using GPARTED, but it must be run as a standalone OS, which in my case I have on a USB. The LIVE ISO can be downloaded from: https://gparted.org/download.php. Once set up, it can be used repeatedly to quickly clone selected partitions. Nevertheless, one should begin...

Geek3579

On a slightly divergent note, QEMU can also be used to boot standalone HDDs, SSDs, and USBs by a slight change to the code. Much easier than in VirtualBox. In the script example below ( for a legacy installation ), the bootable media is on drive /dev/sdc modprobe kvm-intel # start KVM qemu-system-x8...

Should QEMU be built-in/included in each WoofCE PUP's DEVX?

You understand its benefit there.

Well I'm not sure what the benefit is, as its quite easy to install using APT. You just have to know how.

BTW, Bookwormpup64 is a great platform on which to run QEMU due to its low resource usage.

@dimkr as was suggested, the repo version of QEMU is broken.

If you're talking about the Debian Bookworm package of QEMU - I use it all the time with zero issues.

Yes, and it is the package version 7.2

Geek3579

What QEMU packages need to be installed on BookwormPup64 to make it work? I've tried several I thought might work, but had no success. I've done this with some standard packages for other Linux which didn't help here. Thanks I had the same problem, and solved it by using a QEMU appimage. This was q...

I presume you want to copy files back and forth from the guest to the host...

I use PureFTP in the host and gFTP / Filezilla in the guest. Easy to copy back and forth, from the guest side.

Geek3579

I would suggest changing the pmedia=atahd to pmedia=usbflash or similar.
See viewtopic.php?t=2170

Also try a longer delay, eg nousbwait=10 in the vmlinuz line

Geek3579

I am not familiar with Virt-Manager, just AQEMU, which has an option to display the qemu script. Maybe virt-manager has this facility also. worth checking.

Geek3579

Can you PLS post your QEMU script.

Also, are you using a touchpad or mouse ??

I have Windows 10 on almost all my desktops and laptops. I keep it there just in case....Never needed it in 6+ years of using Puppy Linux exclusively as my daily driver. Maybe one day... The issue for me is the boot location. Having the EFI boot from a separate USB, SDD, HDD or even a SD card keeps ...

I like to use AQEMU. It can handle simple and more complex setups of virtual machines. Though it was possible to VMs in live mode a explained above, all tried installations as VM failed for me with Aqemu (wattOS, LXLE, Bodhi, Robo..). The Aqemu window just terminated, before the installation comple...

If I was still trying out mainstream distros on a regular basis, I'd repartition/reformat the SSD to GPT, go with UEFI full-time, and use Grub2Config instead..... I do GPT partition tables and UEFI, but disable Microsoft's "secure boot" b.s. I really don't know if GPT and UEFI is better. ...

Geek3579

Having an already installed Linux distro with grub2 does make this type of installation easy as you suggest. I did this for a few years with MX-Linux as the base install. I would also suggest that the added GRUB script(s) be placed in the /boot/grub directory in a custom.cfg text file. That way you ...

I tried the vs 8 Appimage in both BookwormPup64 and Fossapup64. In both cases I got this error message: You cannot access with root privileges.

Its a very reliable distro, and has been number 1 on the Distro Watch list for ages, and for good reasons. The devs are very helpful. The package manager is excellent. Its very fast and the whisker menu is enjoyable to use. But its nowhere as good as Puppy Linux for flexibility. I would recommend in...

Tried the compiled version on Fossapup64. Error message - needed GLIBC_2_34.

Not in PPM. No idea what to do next....

A fully functional LXDE/PCManFM SFS (with drives-on-desktop) might pry me off Fossapup. I run both BW64 10.0.3 and @ozsouths' Fossa64 - Less v1 currently but none of my 'users' are ROX/JWM ready yet. The LXDE/PCManFM combo is a much easier transition from (excuse me) windows-land for themgress. I h...
