Very clear fonts used. Touchscreen tracking is perfect. Wonderful Major use issues I think this is an oversight. Where is SAMBA? Please fix. I cannot share files to my TV and others on the LAN. Installation via PPM is unsuccessful. JWM config for Virtual Desks does NOT work (Menu>Desktop>JWM>Tray .....

I think there is an oversight...If this is a WoofCE generated ISO, Where is SAMBA? Touchscreen tracking is perfect. Able to adjust virtual desktops via Menu>Desktop>Desktop settings>tray without issues. If this is a WoofCE PUP, please include its SAMBA. Also the best Chrome browser "installer&q...

There is a bug in the ability to upgrade FD810 when an older version of Chrome is present in the system. Upgrade via Menu>Setup>Control Panel>Updates>Chrome Though it works without errrors, will leave you with a non-functional Chrome browser. Circumvention Remove Chrome from the system: Menu>Setup>C...

All of the WoofCE PUPs generated this year are fabulous. I am extremely happy with what I see those developers doing to make PUP generation easy. Their efforts are incredible! FATDOG is an outlier; not only does it boot on secure-boot disabled PCs, it boots equally on secure-boot enabled PCs. ALL ot...

ALL modern PUPs come with SAMBA, if you have things you want others on your LAN to see. Menu>Network>Simple Sharing Every other computer on your LAN, Linux, Windows, Macs, Chromebooks, Phones, etc can access what you share. NO installation or use of any additional software on ANY of your LAN PCs is ...

Puppy Linux, of course is one. Before that, SAMBA is another.
Here's another of their technical achievements

Be Proud!

I find this chart an excellent reference for the USB "bus".

Please understand that this is the bus behavior. It is NOT how the devices on the bus will behave. It is well known that USB stick's performance is all over the speed map(s).

Thanks

Thanks smokey01 for your help. I will switch and test your FATDOG changes. I will report progress on the FATDOG thread if I can find your instructions for use of the latest. For the slowness you experience, although I am sure you know, check your BIOS-UEFI for the VM support being turned on. On my ...

The current PPM version of QEMU delivers with a very unwanted feature: It "DEMANDS" VNC. That is suppose to be an option, not an OOTB use of QEMU. In the version someone put on PPM, it has been modified to "force" VNC. I, personally, believe that it was an erroreous PET that some...

Curious...Why dont we just prepay the account? Send money, they apply to the account, the site remains active as the ISP has the system set up to do the renewals when money in the account exceeds what is needed for renewal(s).

Dont know if the avenue is apparent or available.

If there is any chance (yeah I know the time available ... "none") but could anyone contribute the latest QEMU PET to this effort. With today's horsepower and RAM installed on the system AND considering the actual footprint in RAM, it appears I can run 4 PUPs simultaneously on a single PUP...

Thanks for considering the addition.

Looks like the forum is going to gravitate to being focused on it Prime directive: Namely PUPPY-DOG Linux projects, derivatives, apps that run in Linux, and surrounding technologies important to use of what is done here to accomplish useful efforts in life. I am ever hopeful it maintains a strong el...

Looking forward to Zoneminder for FossaPUP64. Thanks for this.

Per your request
Processor : AMD A8-7410 APU with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics

Should "Projects" be PUPs/DOGs generated by a distro wizard such as WoofCE or something, WHILE "Derivatives" are mere remasters of some Project PUP/DOG? Derivatives could also include some Linuxes crafted to look like a PUP where it was cobbled together using some non-traditional...

hi @Clarity i wasn't sure about adding that link as we still have python2 in the repo but probably will add it .... thanks If you feel it would help, maybe include youtube-dl in the base system. But please use the youtube-dl website's published installation path so that its update feature, "yo...

@1jss , have you tried to do a WoofCE build of your PUP?

Earlier I have reported on problem of using FossaPUP Chrome/Chromium utility to add these browsers to current release. Once utility adds them, there are problems in sign-in & use. But, today, I am happy to report that I have found an installer for this PUP that works. It is from a PUP member ETP...

Where are those instruction you are using?

Curious. Should this forum have an annual fund raiser to get monies to support this site as well as BarryK's site? As this BB continues to improve, we could set an annual anniversary date to fund site renewal costs so that no member is burdened with the cost to support this world-wide effort of peop...

The community has come to the rescue and continues to outshine. I like this community and efforts I have seen from it. In review, the old forum does has some useful information for the old PUPPY linux distros of the past. And from all accounts here, the OLD forum is just that: Ancient software used ...

Just found this from a Puppy forum member. Some may gleen a feel for successful use with PUPPY ISOs.

I understand the efforts to getting this PUP to a level of stability and currency. I applaud all the work going into this by everyone. On the language issue, an important one, does the current WOOFCE builds have a formal method published? OR does the current PUPs use the same strategy for language t...

Yes! Correct! ALL puppy Linux from PeeBee in 2020 boot from their ISOs without issues. FossaPUP64 & Fatdog & couple others PUP ISOs boot without issues. These new PUPs are built with modern PCs in mind; namely Since 2007, over a decade ago, PCs have a variety of changes in hardware and firm...

Yeh! When it installs, it installs with the ability to use the Microphone. Now, instead of typing, I can click the mic to launch! THANKS for this implementation. Also, when I have a document open in Google Drive, I can now "talk" a document versus a need to type it. Thanks AGAIN for this o...
