..sure, I realize this is a bit 'crude' - but what I have also done is create a very small script called pcsleep.sh containing (amongst other things I want to do) these lines: # sleep the pc echo mem > /sys/power/state I then just attached that to a desktop file called PCSleep.desktop and created a ...

I don't use BookwormPup64 ..but it might be similar to other puppies. I use Fossapup64 and on this system - and all the previous puppies I've used - there has been a file called 00000080 in the directory /etc/acpi/LID On previous puppies it has been this file which controls what happens when the LID...

As a bog standard user I would say Absolutely worth another upgrade! I know, easy for me to say, since I don't have to do the work - but frankly, F96-CE4 is far and away the best version ever on my ancient DELL laptop.

mow9902

Yep - you got it.

I am using Fossapup64 F96 on a Dell Latitude. All is working perfectly including sound with pulseaudio. In the pulseaudio volume control window it lists 3 output options: Speakers Headphones Line Out Context: I often use an external audio conference speaker which plugs into the Headphone jack. If I ...

In many puppies there is a small utility named "Font Manager" listed under Desktop group. Not sure if this exists for Vanillapup ...but it is has the option to set a font size globally.
The default is usually 96 or 100, but I have mine set to 102.

I often end up with my taskbar full of minimised windows and I cant read the window titles or drive label because they are truncated. @rockedge had a recent post which prompted the idea of tiling all open windows - which I cannot do - but here is an alternative. This "windowsteps" utility...

..programming style is quite personal. I think you might also have an unclosed "if" statement. Anyway - here's my preferred style - which I find more readable. #gtkdialog3 --program=mpcpl --center I=$IFS; IFS="" for STATEMENTS in $(gtkdialog3 --program=mpcpl --center); do eval $S...

Have you tried setting the "minimum" font size? This works for me ie any message I compose, or any message I read will show text at this minimum size.

I've had the problem under multiple computers and multiple kernels. I would have assumed the problem was a conflict with some other program. But as noted in my OP, it still showed up on an almost 'virgin' Fossapup64. One of the reasons for the above qualification is that I've imported records creat...

I also run fossapup64 9.6 and am a constant user of osmo. I do not experience any problems with Osmo either adding, deleting or editing tasks. Could it be something else besides the F96 build? Kernel version? ...or something else?

I'm using fossapup64 9.6 (not vanilladpup) - but browsers in Fossapup also run as 'spot' (if selected to run that way). My easy solution is to: create a folder named named 'my-downloads' in any location you choose symlink that folder into 'spot' symlink the 'spot' link into root ..and then in the br...

mow9902

Not sure exactly what you mean. I've been using TB for quite some time, and am using the current 115 version. The text still looks normal on my fossapup64 9.6 Perhaps it is some something on your platform - display settings, or font or compositor or something? Any more details you can provide for th...

That's great to hear @petihar .

Could you update/edit the Subject and include (SOLVED) eg. Change it to 'Problem with wbar (SOLVED)'

mow9902

Ah ..yes rockedge - your comment 'twigged' my memory. I also had the same problem when I first moved to fossapup96. I used to typically load wbar on startup, but if I placed the conky and wbar executables into the startup folder (which I had done in the past) I could not get a nice transparent backg...

mow9902

I use fossapup9.6 - but maybe wbar works the same in bookworm. The background 'bar' is just an icon you can select in the preferences. You can try different options to get what you prefer. I have used a semi transparent icon named dock.png which you should find in /usr/share/pixmaps/wbar. I have att...

I just checked these two sites:
https://www.cvs.com/
https://www.tollsbymailny.com/en/home/index.shtml

Both of them work using iron browser and Watefox - BUT ONLY if the IP address is in the US (which I tested using my VPN service)

mow9902

@dogle

I would also offer Waterfox (originally based on firefox code). 64bit only, but well maintained. Works well on my (very old) DELL laptop.

Thanks again for keeping these updated peebee. Works fine on my F96-4

@soniabu

Easiest way to do this is with the JWMDesk application

I find these two services (via browser) work fine for me using chromium based browsers on F96 on a very old Dell laptop.
Jitsi - https://jitsi.org/

Freeconference.com
https://hello.freeconference.com/

mow9902

Why not just use an AV service from the web? There are plenty to choose from including jitsi
https://jitsi.org/ which works well for me using any chromium browser.

mow9902

yes, that would probally work. I will look up the --test-type "$@" option and see what it's all about.

This option just removes the annoying message "you are using an unsupported command line flag --no-sandbox. Stability and security will suffer"

mow9902

This generic command works for me: exec <path to your program>/ chrome --user-data-dir=<path to your data directory> --disk-cache-dir=<path to your cache store> --disk-cache-size=10000000 --media-cache-size=10000000 --allow-outdated-plugins --no-sandbox --test-type "$@" Looking at your ex...

Thanks for updating the link Peebee. I've been using your chromium builds for ages without any issues ..until now. I am running a frugal install of fossapup64-CE. All of your chromium versions up to and including 114.0.5735.90 have worked flawlessly for me. However - this latest version 115.0.5790.1...

To use the libreoffice appimage you simply need to (1) download the required appimage and then (2) change the attributes to make it executable. You may then move the appimage to a directory of your choosing. Click to run. To make it more convenient for yourself you can (if you wish) create a short s...

mow9902

I've been using the appimage version successfully for some time now. Might be the easiest solution for you.
