If you mean suspend,
pressing the power button should wake from suspend.
Just a quick normal press and release,
do not press and hold the button.

If the power button won't wake it,
try typing cat /proc/acpi/wakeup in a terminal.
Is there anything like PB disabled ?

Why open a new terminal window? Just execute it as a line in the first script. Like this: echo 'running a script ...' echo 'running a script ...' echo 'running a script ...' inxi -Fxzzrc0 | nc termbin.com 9999 > /tmp/report.txt echo 'running a script ...' echo 'running a script ...' echo 'running a ...

In my BionicPup64, /run/ is a symlink to /tmp/ and /tmp/ is a symlink to a dir in the ram tmpfs. # # ll /run lrwxrwxrwx 1 3 Feb 25 2019 /run -> tmp # ll /tmp lrwxrwxrwx 1 21 Oct 2 14:42 /tmp -> /initrd/mnt/tmpfs/tmp # In my Pup, /run/ and /tmp/ do not have persistence. Everything in /run/ and /tmp ...

amethyst In terminal I get: /etc/profile input/output error AFAIK, an input/output error is usually a hardware problem, maybe a failing hard drive. Tools like smartctl or Hard Disk Sentinel might give you more information. You could rename the file so that data block won't be used like this: cp ...

anything I press enter (in leafpad, terminal etc.) will execute librewolf There seems to be a keyboard shortcut set that executes librawolf when Enter is pressed. If there is a Librawolf clickable icon on the desktop then right click the icon and select Edit Item and reconfigure the keyboard ...

the sliders did not work correctly If the equalizer mixer is alsamixer, then the shell variables TERM and COLORTERM need to have appropriate settings. On my machine I have TERM=rxvt-unicode-256color COLORTERM=rxvt-unicode-256color In /etc/asound.conf I have for analog sound: defaults.pcm.card 1 ...

In this code: if test true then aaa else bbb fi aaa always executes bbb never executes So the code can be replaced with just aaa true and test false are also always true, so the result is the same: aaa always executes bbb never executes if false is always false, so for if false aaa never executes ...

It is not a cups password it is the root password that cups is looking for. sudo does not ask for root's password. sudo asks for spot's password. Most Pups do not have a password set for spot. To use spot's password, it must be set first. # passwd spot Changing password for spot New password: tops ...

I'm not running Bookworm, so there are differences. For my suggestion to work, du needs to be before (above) the exit line at the bottom, not after. The savefile is mounted on /initrd/pup_ro1/ The savefile is located in /mnt/home/ You can use Rox or other file browsers to look in those dirs, to see ...

A newer browser like Firefox might by default block a url that is a numeric address. Malware sites and ad servers often are referenced with a numeric address. My links text browser also isn't working with numeric web addresses. The hosts file should link urls to numeric addresses, for example, 127.0 ...

whenever there is a save to it If you are running pupmode 13 I think /usr/sbin/snapmergepuppy copies files to the save file or folder. I think putting a line at the bottom of the file /usr/sbin/snapmergepuppy might do what you want. That is, change the bottom line from this: exit $ERRSTATUS to ...

You can bypass lookup of a dns server by using the /etc/hosts file for example, in a terminal: # nslookup puppylinux.com Server: 127.0.0.1 Address: 127.0.0.1:53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: puppylinux.com Address: 162.241.244.127 So, if you edit /etc/hosts adding the line 162.241.244.127 ...

You can drag an app like pfind
( /usr/share/applications/pfind.desktop )
to the Rox Pinboard (desktop)
to create a clickable icon.

You can right click the desktop icon
to configure a keyboard shortcut.

Or you can configure a KB shortcut in JWM,
using JWMdesk.

My OS, since I installed Earlyoom, is rock solid. To be fair, it was rock solid before. I don't think earlyoom will help if the tmpfs fills up. As long as there is enough free ram, it doesn't care if the tmpfs is out of space. earlyoom can keep a logfile showing what it kills and when and why. If ...

The writable save layer is definitely the ram tmpfs. The error message is "out of space" not "read only FS" The tmpfs is using 354M, which is quite reasonable. Firefox Portable is unzipped in ram, whether it's running or not. Firefox is taking about 283M, most of what is in tmpfs. I don't know where ...

According to df / (the "root" of the file system) is a tmpfs file system mounted on /initrd/mnt/tmpfs and you seem to have a save folder in /initrd/mnt/dev_save/ so you can copy the files in your writable layer (in ram) by clicking the save icon and optionally when Puppy shuts down. So the working ...

With hard links, there is 1 file with more than 1 file name. There are no mirrors or copies, just 1 file. You can't give the file a name that would put it in a different device. for example, if you have a file in /root/, you can't make a hard link (a new file name in addition to the original file ...

I have DNS leaks, and apparently all of them are going to google. Looks like my internet provider is using google servers for DNS To be clear, your default dns name server is google. If you don't want to use google nameservers, then delete the 3 google nameserver lines in /etc/resolv.conf 1.1.1.1 ...

8.8.8.8 is a google public dns server. 1.1.1.1 is Cloudflare. the name servers in /etc/resolv.conf will try the first one at the top of the list, if it times out, it will try the next in the list. So for you, it will try 8.8.8.8 if 8.8.8.8 times out it will try 1.1.1.1 etc etc. If you run Firefox ...

Duckduckgo search for firefox dns encrypt

Firefox enables encrypted dns by default, it says.

Firefox now collects data of your web usage, I think.

I'm assuming it's a laptop problem, and not a Puppy issue. It's possible that the hardware driver modules work better with one machine than the other. Even if the two machines are identical, they may not be in the same condition. One might be slightly broken. You might see something in bootsysinit ...

'linux-bzimage' ... Yes I see it, but then "Linux-initrd" appears within a couple of seconds. On the problem one it can sit there for 45 seconds or even longer until the next line appears. The boot loader copies vmlinuz and initrd to ram memory. then passes execution to the kernel, vmlinuz. The ...

and, of course, the Rox configuration dirs

$HOME/Choices/ and in $HOME/.config/

Rox is a Rox Application Directory

Everything is in that dir.

Look inside the dir, particularly in

/usr/local/apps/ROX-Filer/ROX/MIME

Also icons (and symlinks) might be in

/root/.icons/

1) you probably should ask EasyOS questions on the EasyOS section of the forum. https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewforum.php?f=63 2) EasyOS can run things in containers, as user chromium for example, which can cause problems. And rox may be running in a slightly different environment to the shell ...

harder and might cause thrashing

Maybe a bit over stated.

The OS is constantly flushing buffers in the background, in parallel, whether the sync command is used. or not.
It probably knows what it's doing.

A drive should not unmount until all the data has been written.
Or there could be file system corruption

Usually, you want to unmount a drive, then unplug it.

You could click a sync script just before unmounting a drive.

sync would normally work like this: # first, copy file1 to file2 cp file1 file2 # then, finish writing to hardware sync sync gxmessage "file has finished copying" That is, copy the file, then sync Sync is not intended to work in parallel with a copy command. It might not work as expected. Sync in ...

We use "save on demand" but our application runs the save command on a regular basis. I ran it manually but it hasn't fixed the issue. There are references to ram being flushed to the save file. I'm not sure how the save works. The files in ram (pup_rw tmpfs) are copied or moved to the save file ...

This seems to be a different machine. The mount default for a tmpfs file system is 50% The first machine had a pup_rw (writable layer) of 501M This pup_rw is about 1G The size is just an arbitrary number. The size of the tmpfs depends on the space taken by the files. With no files, the tmpfs takes ...
