It is probably .tcz and not .tzc.
Uextract supports extracting almost anything, included .tcz files.

pkg has dir2repo. That may be able to add a local repo.

It's really just a simple operation of automated installing cli instead of ppm because the packages are already downloaded. File manager gui works fine but is painfully manual.

That's exactly the reason (or one of the main reasons) @sc0ttman created pkg.

In the "Puppy Setup" application you could set your main language. You can do it also on the "Quick setup" that runs the first time you run a fresh install of Puppy. It should say that a language pack is needed. The lanuage pack should be a .pet file. It should be for Puppy specifically, because ...

foxpup

Could pkg from @sc0ttman help you out?
It is command line and 'integrated' with PPM.
It comes with Fossapup and with builds from @josejp2424 and maybe some others.
You could probably install it on other Puppys if they are not too old.

Now I have about 8 Fossapups and 2 Xenials on the Lick menu. Only one of each boots. Can I edit some of those out ? Also, just asking, not complaining. Lick and Puppy are are the best. I do not know the particulars of Lick, however ... From a Puppy you should find a efi/boot fat32 partition ...

2011 is not so old. I wonder what problem(s) you have or see. Besides the error with glxinfo. Maybe check whether radeon driver is chosen by LH. You can set the driver in xorgwizard. To run xorgwizard you have to exit to the prompt (exit X). (xwin to start X again.) If you are new to Puppy, you may ...

hello mikewalsh D'you happen to remember the exact name you found it under? 'Cos I can't find it in Fossa's PPM at all. "cool-retro-term_1.1.1" it is. If that's the only app you run in Fossa that needs Qt5, it wouldn't make any difference. But this is built around an older version than Fossa's PPM ...

foxpup

Lighthouse is more of an older Puppy. I'm not sure where to look, but I'll see what I can add. Maybe: is this a new or an old machine? The kernel may be too old (or too recent) or you need newer or older drivers. Specify cpu type and version and gpu type and version. Is there a "pup-sysinfo" under ...

foxpup

Wow, what a wonderful thing is this!
Great work @Aristos !

foxpup

Don't mean to spoil the fun but ...
on Fossapup I am using CRT for a while now and it just installed fine from the PPM.
A lot of qt5 stuff installed with it of course.

I think it is in ubuntu's repo since focal (FF).
@mikewalsh Nice to have it for older Puppys as well. Thanks.

foxpup

mikewalsh I've looked at chrome from ozsouth as well at some time. I am not sure why I decided yours - I think they are as good - maybe just because yours is portable, although that is not needed by me. Since Quantum I prefer Firefox for a big browser, but you are right, mozilla is not steady and ...

foxpup

.....and here's yet another update. Puppy-portable version - v91.0.4472.114 I don't know WHAT they're playing at this week; it's just been update after update after.......well. I am sure it would be allright if you skipped one or two from time to time. You are incredibly diligent, Mike. I do/can ...

Yeah, I think we should move the Puppy IRC channel to libera.chat too. Let me know when it happens. :thumbup2: It's been done. There is now #puppylinux at irc.libera.chat/6697 01micko (?) The move should be anounced on the blog or something. To help people looking for the new place, and to make it ...

Have you tried zoom portable from @mikewalsh ?
It is in the forum.
Works nice for me on fossapup.

foxpup

I am a noob, never done that, but I wonder:
Is devx not there somewhere in a directory uncompressed?

I am surprised that Windows, in doing a self-check, doesn't throw a tizzy-fit seeing it's BOOTMGFW.EFI replaced.

May happen when windows updates.

@bigpup
You surprised me putting Puppy next to Gentoo and Arch, but you are probably right.

Nice decision tree, asking the important questions indeed.

Welcome to the kennels @TomaszQ !

Im seeking solution to have "own" system on usb drive and "borrow" only machine

Frugal installs of Puppys are your solution for this.

foxpup

I read that you have troubles with unicode support in urxvt in fossapup?

Have you tried changing

Code: Select all

TERM=xterm

in /etc/profile to

Code: Select all

TERM=rxvt-unicode-256color

maybe

Code: Select all

TERM=rxvt-unicode

?
It helped me to get MC working properly with 256color skins in urxvt.

Wait for the new Slackware
Try TLC
Try BSD
Install Debian
Use EasyOS

edit: omg, I forgot Arch

So, if change vmlinuz, then would have to open up easy.sfs and put in the required modules/firmware. But they will only be accessed after switch_root. hello BarryK So I could make the zdrv in Easy, to use for Puppy. Would it be enough to include everything that is in /bin/modules? Or would I miss ...

@bigpup
@mikeslr
Thanks for the advice and comments, guys.

I was just wondering.
And I had the same considerations.
I am hoping someone just knows the answer before experimenting.
@BarryK will know right away I bet.
It may be usefull in future.

I use xlunch for the menu with DWM That looks nice. It is like a desktop? That reminds me: I forgot to mention that Rox' pinboard with wallpaper and desktops icons and Rox' panels are still there. But with tiling wm the Rox' pinboard is often behind the windows with apps that fill the whole screen ...

I have temporarely a laptop with similar, very new cpu, but i5 and Puppy nor Easy see the hd. I cannot try this fix tho because the laptop is totally locked by windows and by the owner. I need an admin password to set off hibernate, but I do not have it and will not get it. But I can run Puppy and ...

I would be interested in how dwm works out... Hello gychang dwm works out fine actually. I am in it for a while now. I've just done 2 patches: systray and center. I changed the config.h to my likings, it is smaller now (!), but no major changes. Since I've been changing wm a few times, I have ...

Welcome to the kennels balasahu ! I think you have to set it in /etc/inputrc By the way, F3 is "\e[13~" on my laptop. --- If you want to set general keys (not for bash specifically), you should look at ~/.jwm/jwmrc-personal That is the config for the window manager jwm.

This from shinobar may give you some more ideas: Keep your savefile slim and healthy You do not have the restriction with the size if you use a pupsave directory. The size of a directory is not fixed and is only limited by the space there is on the partition. You can use a directory if you have the ...

foxpup

Never had a problem either.
Running as root.

I have had lots of issues on windows at the time.
But I cannot say whether running as a user there had something to do with it.
If it had something to do with it, then bettter not run as user.
