The BIOS-UEFI for virtualization is enabled, but there is a problem: FossaPUP reports its presence virtualization is seen.jpg but it is NOT found and cannot be enabled. root# echo "Check system to see if VM is loaded" Check system to see if VM is loaded root# lsmod| egrep --color=always kv...

That's MY POST!

But, you are right, it should be on a separate thread.

I will move it.

SAMBA problem moved to a separate thread

Hope no one thought I was knocking anyone here as it may have been noted that I showed happy when grepnoke posted before the prior post by MikeWalsh. You are quite the chap here, Mike. But your timing is ill and whatever identity you are illuding is also ill. So please understand my first sentence i...

Preference is Multi-Session for "many" reasons and until recent 2020 PUP ISOs, I have and still do for some older desktops, use my DVDs and CDs. My experiences with most every PUP distro until 2020, was to download the ISO and create media. I'd boot the media to desktop. Firstly, immediate...

Replying quietly via PM does NOT help any PUP members should there be some additions found or a newer method/approach used for success or failures. Please continue posting as this experiences may be useful information to others. There are many cloning/backup/restore methods in Puppy Linux everywhere...

and which PUP distro?

Google "using opera vpn" for your answer.
Enjoy

Edited: Mentioning FD811 feature was incorrect.

Members: There are many, many VPN clients. But a recent entry in Puppyland is this one by a recent member Also, some browsers like Opera, have all that is needed for a FREE VPN without any need to install anything to your PUP other than the browser with the VPN client to server support built-in. Hop...

Hi @sanjayjain

I see you have also posted requests on the Chrome developers forum. Nice.

For Stemsee and any of us who are Google users: Should you have things to share with forum users it is easy to click "Share" for the folder or file; and allow Everyone OR "Everyone with a link" to access what you share. I am sure you will see other useful share options there, too...

Will Groovy become a 64bit PUP?

I offer 2 answers to the OP's request: There is a PUP distribution of bygone years that is specifically "ChromePUP" in the old forum There is a youtube video that has been around for 2 years and updated this year showing how to repurpose a PC with ChromeOS. ChromeOS may be the best way to ...

Using SuperGRUB2 I was able to boot the latest FossaPUP64 without any issues. Also, I used FATDOG v811's to create a BTRFS partition where I placed FossaPUP64 v905 in a /BOOTISOS folder. It was found and booted, too. FD811 has added BTRFS and other filesystems for user use, seemlessly. I will take y...

... if it gets corrupted then I need to find Windows to fix it... TRUE! Further, I have found another disturbing issue, that occurred recently. Using Linux to format a NTFS "with compression feature (-C)" will, from an observers viewpoint, work without a hitch. But, when trying to manipul...

BTRFS is a "part" of the FD811 complement! Those developers should be rewarded for advancing this for us. BTRFS in Fatdog.jpg Over my decades, I have constantly used compressed NTFS for my data storage needs. It has been very useful with little CPU demand as data flows thru the Windows/Lin...

NO, NO, NO! I believe! I dont want to overlook something potentially damaging that may be missed. I believe each of you! Thanks to everyone for your assistance and the understanding that has surfaced. BTW: True! You probably don't see this elsewhere in Puppy... Not seen in others. Thanks, again to e...

Has anyone considered "suggesting" to use a PUP from 2005-2008? Why continue to try steering new PUPs toward old hardware? ... even new 32bit PUPs??? The objective for all of us technologist is to get things operational...not to try to make old hardware new. There are about 100 old PUPs (a...

If I interpret those 2, it seems the mirrors "may" be injecting file attributes.

@jamesbond, maybe this yields clues I may have missed. I dont remember which of the various ways I download files, as they vary depending...
And here's the FD811 added few days ago.

Excellent offers!

Like what is happening to "MODERNIZE" PUPPY's use for all of us, today.

Has this been automatically detected (corrected) in FD 811?

So, those flags indicate the compression attribute?

If so, is the flag there to tell the I/O subsystem that decompression is required for proper use?

Hummm??? I just tried this on a pristine FD 811. It works as expected. Will have to chase down what happened with the minimal (3) Slapd programs that are added that causes this Fatdog utility to go into a non-terminating loop when its updatedb attempted.

Serious problem.

This post, by me, has NOTHING to do with the originator's opening of this thread. BUT, the various responses shows EXACTLY what PUPPY's problem is. Varied ideas of why it came to be and what it is now. Reasons: Technology has changed...even in olden times...and will continue. People(s) dont seem to ...

We ALL know this improves search results. But, I see a problem on my system. It is booted as a Multi system (3rd boot option) with the multi save on sda2. It is the FD v811 ISO. There is ONLY 1 session saved from yesterday. And it has been rebooted to that session. Anyone else having this problem? ...

BusterDOG can now be booted via its ISO file with NO MODIFICATION! Merely download the ISO to a root folder on your system "/BOOTISOS" (in fact, ALL of your 2020 WoofCE PUPs can be here too) and boot. No USB...No CD...No DVD...No SD. Just download and boot from BusterDOG ISO. It is explain...

FossaDOG, and now other recent DOGs, can now be booted via their ISO file with NO MODIFICATION! Works with or without Secure Boot enabled. No more expanding to USB/DVD/etc. Just place your downloaded ISOs Merely download the ISO to a root folder on your system "/BOOTISOS" (in fact, ALL of ...

Thanks eversomuch! That'll cause me to pay attentions as I use various sources to download files, including wget & curl & browsers.

Thanks for making that understandable.

+1 I keep ALL of my ISOs in a central folder "/BOOTISOS". So, For each ISO, I edit a GRUB2 entry into the main grub.cfg file. Following are 3 ISOs examples added to a GRUB2 menuentry "Ubuntu 20.04 Desktop ISO" { set isopath="/BOOTISOS/ubuntu-20.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso" ...
