Regarding the 'blinking icon' question posed by joet12345 Refer to page page 3 and page 6&7 of the manual. When using a VPN it is important that you can rely on its stability ie there is nothing worse than using the system thinking that the VPN is active when it is not. The blinking icon is a vi...

Thanks as always peebee

chromium_89.0.4389.114.sfs works perfectly on my bionic64 system.

mow9902

Thanks again peebee. Works as usual on my bionic64

However, I did notice that the folders under /usr were
bin
lib
share

...in previous releases from you these were
bin
lib64
share

I just renamed the folder lib to lib64 and all ran as usual.

Thanks for this app bigpup. I decided to give it a try, but unfortunately I had some problems - likely my fault - but I'd like to understand where I went wrong, and also a suggestion. I am running bionic64 USB frugal on an old DELL latitude laptop. I use 3 partitions on my 64G USB stick: 1. the boot...

I also run bionic64 frugal on USB and had absolutely heaps of trouble trying to achieve a fully transparent conky background. It nearly drove me crazy, but I eventually came up with something which works fine for me. I have attached a screenshot of my conky display and my conky config. The config fi...

Hi - I too am using bionicpup64 for a long time and always run as root. You should be able to send files to trash as part of the builtin functionality. Right click on a file and you should see "Trash" appear as one of the options.

I run bionic64 successfully on an old DELL latitude laptop. Please check this thread where I posted on this topic a couple of weeks ago:

You have not outlined your hardware or OS details. You will need to explain which version of puppy you are using, and whether or not you have a frugal install, full install or some hybrid which you may have customized yourself. However - that aside, you do have a couple of options: Option-1: microso...

Maybe this will help. It is a static version of the latest stable 1.8.5. You will also find a test.pls which I randomly downloaded from the web. Some entries work, some don't.

loaded a minor variation today v2.23 - see first post for download link
16 Jan 2021 : v2.23 (replaced yad-splash with gtkdialog-splash for user messaging. Works better in fosspup)

mow9902

Thanks for the confirmation mike. Yes - actually - my bionic64 is almost totally functional. I'm surprised that deadbeef won't work for you. What output do you get with that? maybe I can play with it. For me, the only 1 small thing which does not work is slimjet ...which is supposed to work with spo...

mow9902

Solved at Last! Previously norgo suggested this: export QT_QUICK_BACKEND=software This fixed the error of the greyed out login screen but the integrated webcam stopped working. I have now resolved both problems by replacing "export QT_QUICK_BACKEND=software" with "export QT_XCB_FORCE...

mow9902

thanks for the interest peebee ...but this is beyond my experience. How does one do this? I'm interested to try it out.

mow9902

mikeslr I've also been using LO on my bionic64 system for quite some time (and prior to that on my bionic32 and trusty32 system). I am currently using the latest stable LO 7.0.3.1 version. I always just download using the puppy menu "Document > Get Libreoffice download and install libreoffice&q...

mow9902

Thanks Norgo - this does work for me, and does allow the sign-in screen to open and the app to launch. But - I confirm the mikewalsh experience ie the integrated webcam stops working. It works fine in other apps and previous versions of zoom - but not with this one. ..but clearly we are getting clos...

mow9902

Thanks for taking a look Mike. I don't particularly want to muck around too much with my qt5 setup - I'm worried about the potential impact on other apps, and I don't have enough knowledge personally to fix everything which might get stuffed up! However - I did try this to try to understand a little...

mow9902

Thanks peebee - unfortunately that did not make any difference.

Interestingly I also found this appimage of the current version (downloaded from here) - https://appimage.github.io/Zoom/ and it also produces the same 'greyed' out dialog boxes.

I'm stumped on this one ..but sure would like to know!

mow9902

I use bionic64 frugal install. For quite some time (many months, many versions of zoom) I have been using Zoom successfully by simply downloading the .deb file from the Zoom site and running it with the command /opt/zoom/ZoomLauncher. The downloaded package contains two folders: opt usr I simply add...

Thanks for the information mikesir

Seems like a lot of trouble to get running as an SFS, but whatever 'floats you boat'. We all have our preferences. I will be interested to see the result when you have it working.

mow9902

Thanks again peebee. As always, it works perfectly on my bionic64 system.

I have tried to fix the display of the help information by adding scroll bars. Original post attachment has been replaced with latest version 1.01

mow9902

Thanks for the feedback rufwoof.

I will look into placing scroll bars in the information window display.

For some time I had been looking for a simple VPN implementation I could use. After some searching I settled on the service offered by Windscribe, because their implementation uses OpenVPN (which can be installed from the puppy repository) and a CLI client. Inspired by OscarTalks and his VPN OnOff a...

Check this link - https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=713 I also have not been able to get pnethood or YASSM to mount my attached NAS drive. However I can do it manually and I believe it is because of the missing parameter "vers=1.0" Here's the command which works for me -...

Thanks again peebee

As always, this version works perfectly on my bionic64
