The first error message says it needs to have the kernel driver nbd (Network Block Device) You can enable it by running in a terminal: modprobe nbd Or you can do modprobe nbd before the app starts, for example from a script in /root/Startup/ or you can configure it in /etc/modules The second message ...

There are many clock apps.

@williams2 - I didn't understand what I can do I don't think you can do much. The point of running as spot, is to limit the damage that spot can do. If you run as root, you can save files anywhere, any time. I boot without a save file (pfix=ram) Usually, i want to save to the hard drive. So i mount ...

You can mount an ntfs file system so that it is readable and writable by a user like spot. The whole point of spot, is that it is unprivileged so it can not damage the file systems. But you have your save file on that ntfs file system. Many file systems like ext3 allow it to be remounted with ...

Seems OK at Wed Nov 09, 2022 2:15 am I think the denial of service attack causes the max_connections_per_hour value to exceed the maximum limit which automatically sets max_connections_per_hour to a value of 1 which is very slow Other things like SEF (Search Engine Friendly) rewrites URLs which ...

when the destop boots, I get a rox panel with two directories in it If you create a new rox panel (panel as opposed to pinboard) You can create as many panels as you like, but each panel should have a different name. And You can create as many pinboards as you like, each pinboard should have a ...

lLaptop screens are usually LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) Most of the power used by the screen is the backlight. A bright screen uses less power than a dark screen. For each pixel the lcd display can let more or less light of the backlight. through the pixel. Making a pixel dark might use less power ...

You could read https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Clover Someone tested it in 2018 on TotalVirus.com. 25 of 65 virus scan engines flagged it as malicious. https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/a5ff188770ca7e0b5178a0f2b369cc524ba4f7f54a1e1acab5017f768850282e/details I have a gut feeling about this that I ...

The John Murga forum also seems slow.

It says there are 59 users on the Murga forum.

Does it look normal? It doesn't have the big bar at the top, and it has a sort of grey theme.

I have no idea what PTT is, PTT is Platform Trust Technology. It's the software and hardware that work together to make PuppyLinux hard to boot. PTT is for Intel cpus. fTPM is for AMD cpus. What Is a TPM? A TPM can calculate random numbers, RSA keys, decrypt short data, and store hashes taken when ...

an woof-ce build the capability to view a man page? I think the dev sfs file has tools to work with man pages. I'm not sure whether you can read man pages with the dev sfs file loaded. The software to read man files can be installed, like any other software, so yes, I think woof could be configured ...

By the way, I see that the Bing and Google bots are scanning the forum.

I don't think that would make the forum slow.

I just got the User 'puppylin_admin' has exceeded the 'max_connections_per_hour' resource (current value: 1) [1226] message. Is this an attempt to get the the administrator's password by brute force ? which, like a DDoS attack would slow things down. Or do they have the admin's password and are ...

When you start the app in a terminal, what happens if you set the locale to C like this (assuming the executable is named wsjtx): LANG=C LC_ALL=C wsjtx C is a simple locale, basically Englixh ascii. or something like (use your locale) LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" wsjtx Do you have ...

To me, it seems like it might be a denial of service attack. If the forum is using Cloudflare's protection from denial of service attacks most of the malicious attempts to connect would be blocked, but not all, so the effect would be a noticeable slow down of the forum, but not so slow that it makes ...

In a file system like ISO9660. each file is contiguous and not fragmented and each file is concatinated one after the other. To delete or add or modify a file somewhere in the middle of the file system would require half of the file system to be moved to properly fit the modified file in the file ...

AFAIK busybox's install will create a symlink for each applet but it will not overwrite a symlink or a file with the same name that is already there. mkdir /tmp/aa/ cd /tmp/aa/ cp /bin/busybox . ./busybox --install -s ./ ls -l lrwxrwxrwx 1 32 Nov 3 15:32 acpid -> /initrd/mnt/tmpfs/tmp/aa/busybox ...

A PET file is basically a tar.gz file, which is compressed using gzip or xz or lzma etc etc. So upx would not make much difference to the size of a PET file. Installing a PET uncompresses all the files in the PET file. So upx-ed executables will take a little less space in a save file. If a upx-ed ...

I am running BionicPup64. pfix=ram with the aufs layered file system. So, the puppy sfs files are in /initrd/pup_ro2/ already mounted. This lists the directories with jwm in the name: find /initrd/pup_ro2/ -type d | grep --color -i jwm This lists the files with jwmrc in the path/name: find /initrd ...

Yes I think I understand. There are windows that you probably don't want to resize. A window has properties like default size, whether it should be resizable or not etc which are set by the programmer. Whether a window manager respects the programmer's settings or not is another matter. Linux draws ...

sk for a change to allow the screen to be dragged to a resize by any use? Most window managers allow windows to be dragged by holding the alt key and dragging the window with the mouse. Dragging with the right mouse button might be configures to do something else. And dragging with the middle mouse ...

A 32 bit OS will see 4G of ram unless PAE is enabled. How much total ram does free -h tell you that you have? What does running this in a terminal say (copy/paste) dmesg | grep -i pae What does this tail /var/log/Xorg.0.log show? It should tell you what Xorg is using as a video driver. Do you have a ...

I think newbies really don't need a lot of extraneous background information. It's just that the save file/folder is not compressed, so saying that it is compressed could be confusing. Making minimal changes to the text changing the text another compressed file to another uncompressed file or maybe ...

My initial thought was to save some memory, but that does not appear so

If you want to save the 500MB or so that the sfs files take in ram,
you can use the pfix=nocopy kernel option.

it's not really a kernel option the kernel passes it to Puppy's init(rd)

In IMPORTANT Information Before Installing Puppy Linux is written: User Data Storage: When you create new documents or make changes, download files, add programs, etc. these changes are not saved to the read-only base OS, but saved into another compressed file (or folder, as an option), called a ...

a diagonal tear appears If you are using Xorg, you could try enabling the Tearfree option in /etc/X11/xorg.conf That is change this: #Option "TearFree" "true" to this: Option "TearFree" "true" I seem to remember that it works with the Intel video driver, Also do you have dri enabled? (in xorg.conf)

the font was noticeably fuzzy and degraded when black

Complaints of fuzzy fonts are usually about antialiasing.

Turn off antialiasing and also cleartype or equivalent.

It would be added as a service most likely. If you are referring to iptables-restore it's not a daemon, it just runs for a few milliseconds and exits. Puppy has /etc/init.d/ and /etc/rc0.d and /etc/rc1.d and /etc/rc2.d etc etc for scripts to start services. If KLV uses systemd that would be more ...
