Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Last night I came to the forum and got a message that it was down due to resources being used up. Should I stop posting pics and gifs ? Id hate to be causing problems here.

I ended up reformatting the HD and irenstalling Windows 10, then installed Lick and puppies.

Thanks. I opened CUPS in Firefox. Cups saw the printer. It is asking for a PPD file. Do I download this from Brother ?? Its been 4 or 5 years since Perdido helped me do this on the old Puppy forum and I just do not remember the details. I do know I had to do some stuff in the terminal.

I tried woofwoof. I tried hooking the printer with a USB before booting Fatdog. Its a Brother MFC-L2680W.

No Chrome. I have Firefox but CUPS opens Seamonkey.

Fossapup is my go to OS on a 10 year old Dell laptop. Also have xenial and Windows 10 partitions. I boot and install my pups with Lick. Its crazy fast and easy to use. The Dell is old but over speced for the job. 250 gig solid state hard drive and 8 gigs of RAM.

Well, a few days after posting this thread, I reinstalled my puppies and firefox. I have not updated firefox since. I have had maybe 4 freezes since June. No more updates for me.

Sonny, I only use Windows for a couple things that just will not work with linux. maybe once per week. And I use it for installing Puppies.

Already tried that. Just tried again. no luck. Since I did a fresh install of Fossapup, Firefox is working well so this is not that important. I am willing to keep trying though.

I can just stop the updates in thee control panel. Just have to redo it every 35 days.

This is what I saved. Still not working.
Exec=run-as-spot /usr/bin/brave-browser-stable --incognito

Here you go. =/usr/bin/brave-browser-stable --incognito
I opened that last night. Totally found it a different way. Did not scroll down far enough . It is the last entry on the page.

I do not know where to find that, I have searched but not found.

I tried this on Fossapup and Xenial with no success. Even did a new install of Fossapup. Probably doing someting wrong. I will wait a while and try again in the future.

Could not get it done. Will get back to it tomorrow. THANKS for your help;

It installed and shows up inthe menu but it does not open. Even set it as default app and it does not work. Am I missing something ?

I downloaded it but how do I install it ?

Just download this one instead and double click to install ...

https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/ ... _amd64.deb

Thank you. I will take Brave for a test drive.

I downloaded it but how do I install it ?

Brave is a new web browser I just found. There are some downloads for linux but I did not see one for Puppy. Anyone try it yet ?

Yes Youtube was the worst offender. Just did this a couple days ago. and it stopped freezing. Until just now. Yahoo mail just froze. I thought I found something but I guess not. Maybe I need to do a fresh Fosapup install.

cute huh!

This is what my Fosapup had when I installed it. For some reason I really like it. My other laptops and partitions I have pics of my cars.
