savefiles are never compressed if it is ready to use. Like any other file, savefile can be copied, moved, deleted. zipped, tarred, etc. A partition consists of bytes of data on a device like a hard drive or a usb drive.

You can make files with a mountable file system in the file for general purpose use, the file does not need to be mounted as a savefile in an aufs layered file system. The file can be on any file system, including ntfs or fat32. Any Linux OS can do this, not just Puppy. For example: # dd if=/dev/zer...

When it pops up, is there the name of a file in the delta file text box? Something like /mnt/home/xxx.delta If there is, you could try renaming or moving or deleting that .delta file. Do you see anything in /root/Startup/ that might be doing this? Does typing this in a text terminal console find any...

hoe can i permanently change that PATH cariable pls? LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set in the file /etc/profile You can add /usr/lib/apulse to LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but then ALL programs will use pulse audio. For example mpv will use pulse instead of alsa. mpv seems to work ok using apulse, but you can configure i...

GRUB is GRand Unified Bootloader. The boot loader copies vmlinuz (the kernel) and initrd.gz (the initial ram drive, which is a little Linux operating system in ram) and starts it executing. There is an older, legacy version of Grub, Grub 1, and a newer, more complicated version of Grub, Grub 2. I bo...

The grub.cfg file would usually be in the dir boot/grub on the usb drive. rufus was used to install the boot loader, which seems to be Grub 2. The recommended way to configure Grub 2 is to edit /etc/default/grub, in this case setting: GRUB_TIMEOUT=0 then running update-grub but that won't work if Gr...

restarted pc to save settings, and it hasn't worked since If typing "apulse firefox" in a text terminal worked, then it should work again, by typing "apulse firefox" again. apulse only sets temporarily (the one time you do it) the environmental variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH "apu...

It would be safest to re-start X/Xorg/Xwindows after deleting the Mesa Shader Cache.
That will replace the items in the cache dir, so there is not much point in deleting the mesa cache.
It's only about 2MB in my Pup.

glxgears seems to run properly if the cache is deleted.

williams2

There should be a file named grub.cfg on the usb flash drive, probably in a folder named boot.
Edit it and change any line with

set timeout= anything

to

set timeout=0

This will boot the default menu item without displaying a menu.

williams2

Puppy has a mouse-keyboard wizard. Maybe Fossadog has something similar, I don't know. You can edit xorg.conf and configure it to use multiple languages. Or you can use setxkbmap. For example, you can put this in a script: #!/bin/sh setxkbmap 'it,fr,us(alt-intl)' -option grp:lctrl_lshift_toggle When...

My laptop has a 1366x768 screen. I;m using a 1920x1080 monitor (TV) 40 inch screen. You can set Xft.dpi in the file /root/.Xresources. Mine is set to: Xft.dpi: 96 When Puppy boots, it automatically sets the resolution of the monitor to 1920x1080 and it sets the resolution of the laptop screen to 136...

I run XenialPup, BionicPup and FossaPup live, without a save file, pfix=ram. If I want to make changes, I reboot, make the changes, then remaster an adrv.sfs file. The adrv.sfs file contains all the changes I have made. If I don't remaster then no changes are made, and the next time I boot everythin...

Tested the script with unset in XenialPup64, Iron works and sound works. I tried deleting all the libpulse files in /usr/lib/apulse/ IronPortable still works and sound works. Iron must be using alsa. There are no files in the Iron dir named pulse Firefox does not have sound with the libpulse files d...

williams2

For me, putting the
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
line in /opt/Iron-portable/iron64/iron-pup
works, and with sound in youtube videos,

Same script works in both FossaPup and in BionicPup64.

williams2

In FossaPup, sound seems to work with
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH

I'm not sure what works and what does not work.

williams2

This time i set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/apulse
without a trailing colon.
Seems to work, sound works in a youtube kitten video

I edited /opt/Iron-portable/iron64/iron-pup, adding this line:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/apulse:
above the exec ... line
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/apulse: has a colon at the end of the line

It seems to work in FossaPup

williams2

I installed lxterminal and set it as default almost immediately after deploying fossapup. But the terminal which opened in every instance above was the built-in urxvt That would be the file /usr/local/apps/Run_In_Terminal/AppRun specifically the line: exec urxvt ... You can change urxvt to lxtemina...

unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH will conflict with /usr/lib/apulse FossaPup seems to need to be unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH= doesn't work LD_LIBRARY_PATH='' doesn't Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to anything doesn't work. apulse could be copied or linked to /opt/Iron-portable/iron64/lib If you can't add apulse to LD_LIBRA...

ok, I had a few minutes to look at this again. I edited /opt/Iron-portable/iron64/iron-pup, I added this line: unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH just before the exec ... line It seems to work in Fossapup and also Bionicpup Same script seems to work in both Pups It might be the PRELOAD library line in Fossapup t...

williams2

not sure what you have done, but I've found in fossapup,
LD_LIBRARY_PATH needs to be unset

like this:
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH ; /opt/Iron-portable/LAUNCH

or by editing the script.

williams2

Yes, curious results, which can be caused by differences in the environment. bash, sh, and ash run in slightly different environments. and applications started by rox, eg. right click run in terminal, may have a slightly different environment. Typing set will show you the environment. I tried iron-p...

Does it work if you type something like this in a text terminal (the console icon): # /opt/Iron-portable/LAUNCH bash: /opt/Iron-portable/LAUNCH: No such file or directory # using the correct path, of course. If it doesn't start, there might be helpful error messages. What happens if you try (using t...

williams2

ash should be a symlink to busybox cd /bin ln -fs busybox ash sh should be a symlink to bash cd /bin ln -fs bash sh The default shell that a urxvt terminal uses is set in /etc/profile SHELL="/bin/bash" SHELL should probably be /bin/sh but SHELL=/bin/bash executes .bashrc when bash starts. ...

On my laptop, running BionicPup64, if I set the Speakers level to 0 and mute the Speakers output level, the sound from the headphones jack has more bass and has a much fuller sound. when I open .asoundrc there is no "paste" option Your picture shows that you created a directory named .asou...

You can setup a software equalizer. Create a file /root/.asoundrc Put this in the file: ctl.equal { type equal; } pcm.plugequal { type equal; # Modify the line below if you don't # want to use sound card 0. slave.pcm "plug:dmix"; } # pcm.equal { # Or if you want the equalizer to be your # ...

Xterm ... no tabs, simple I disable urxvt tabs by editing .Xdefaults or .Xresources changing this: !urxvt.perl-ext-common: default,selection-to-clipboard,tabbed,matcher to this: !urxvt.perl-ext-common: default,selection-to-clipboard,matcher Actually, I disable most of the perl extensions except sel...

By the way, mp doesn't run well with TERM=ansi mp seems to run better if TERM=Eterm or TERM=Eterm-color like this: TERM=Eterm-color COLORTERM=Eterm-color mp readme.txt Maybe the mp config files could be tweaked. mp could be started from a script, like this: #!/bin/sh TERM=Eterm-color COLORTERM=Eterm...

Usually, an input/output error is a hardware problem. But I have seen this before, and it seemed to be a file system bug. In particular, I have seen /root/.thumbnails not working properly. Whatever rox and/or osmo is doing, it should not result in file system corruption. Hardware, like a usb drive t...

Would anyone care to expand on just exactly what a 'console editor' actually IS....and what it does? An editor is a program the edit text in a text file. A console editor will work when Xwindows (where you have windows and buttons to click, and pictures, and a mouse cursor) is not running. For exam...
