Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I've been doing some scanning lately with xsane (also xscanimage, but I don't like it as well), so I thought I'd try peasyscan again to remind myself of the details, and to report in this discussion. It did work, but with one serious issue. Like with libertas , it gave a preview, and indicated that ...

@wognath, I'm out of my knowledge base, but have you looked at the Fatdog64 help files pertaining to kernels and kernel modules? They suggest that they are what you are looking for.

Dan

@jamesbond, Thank you, that sounds far easier.

Dan

jamesbond , all my submissions are given for the team's consideration. If it would help, I can edit the html file as well. I just got to the md first, with a limited amount of time available.

I've mentioned to someone (likely you) my wish to alter the prepackaged defaults in xfe to correspond with ...

Hello Fatdog team

I've wanted to make packages for a long time, and have been able to do so, but not successfully with the native package build system. I've looked into it several times, but it never would work for me, and I fell back to the DESTDIR= method.

I tried it again the other day, and ...

Here's another way to do the same thing, especially for those who don't have much experience with Fatdog64.

Right click on the Volume Control icon and choose Configure "Volume Control". It may not show all the options available, such as if you have connected a Bluetooth device, so in the pop-up ...

@Clarity, Menu>System>Fatdog Help>Boot Options has the info you need.

@Neo_78, Not everyone has unqualified love for Google.

A quick search for F-Droid didn't raise any trust issues. Do your research, make your decision.

How do you install an app that is listed on F-Droid without having to actually install the F-Droid-App @dr__Dan ? Are there any specific apps that you have tried? The Termux app looks useful:

https://f-droid.org/packages/com.termux/
I followed the link, and scrolled down to the version ...

Ideally without having to install F-Droid...

No expertise on the main subject, but I have used F-Droid apps over the years (without ever installing the F-Droid app itself). Never had any issue.

When I can get on top of various current demands, I hope to figure out Linux as a phone. Last I ...

@retiredt00, Hello again,

This is just a guess, but I wonder if there is a setting in the BIOS forcing it to wake up immediately. I've no experience on a Macbook. @step may see this and chime in. It runs through the process essentially the same as my laptop.

Dan

@retiredt00, what does the log show if you suspend from terminal, or using the menu buttons?

Dan

But this is a temporary connection and when then ALSA app stops the sound, the connection is lost and when you start the music again, you will have to re-do the connection (not much, only two ports need to be re-configured in the qjackctl graph, everything else stays).

In next iteration of ...

Does anyone know the exact names and locations of the scripts that are being used to install the default Chrome and Firefox browsers in Fatdog? Maybe those could be adjusted to add additional browser options for Fatdog.

There is no "default Chrome and Firefox" really. Firefox is in the ...

Greetings Fatdog team,

I happened to look at xset, remembered that Pup-X handles that, tested some aspects of it, and learned a little. I didn't know that I could type in my own settings, and since it used the word "Mouse", I supposed that it did not apply to touchpads. I have altered /usr/bin/pupx ...

Hello retiredt00 ,

Have you looked at tlp and tlpui? I haven't yet, but I wonder if it might serve your need. It seems to be new to the 900 repository.

I'll have to investigate it soon.

(Edit) I got some unexpected free time, and looked at tlpui. It's nice, but maybe not what you are after.

Dan

retiredt00 ,

I think the built-in Vattery has some ability to act on battery state to run programs to handle sleep etc., and can be set up somewhat. I don't use it, but substitute the old Fatdog Battery Applet script to handle battery warnings. The script can be edited to give different results ...

fatdoguser ,
Is that still generally possible on later machines, or is that increasingly a UEFI or nowt situation?
New to me nearly 5YO workstation laptop requires UEFI booting from internal drives, but allows BIOS booting from external drives. Does not require Secure Boot for internal drives ...

@Neo_78, you need to use Control Panel>System>SFS Manager and load the Wine 8.6 .sfs into the filesystem. Large packages with certain use cases often get done this way for Fatdog64.

Dan

Neo_78 , it isn't the same exactly, but have you used the xscreenshot utility included with Fatdog64? That plus mtpaint or gimp would match the concept as it is described for "Windows", but not do the same as in Linux. In a terminal, xscreenshot -h for the basics. The default key is PrtScr. See ...

ojwaffles Hello and welcome. The developers of Fatdog64 and the other well-informed local crowd haven't gotten to this yet, so I'll help as I can.

I don't craft webpages, so I'm not so familiar with the LAMP usage, but I looked for the packages and they are in the repository. You'll want to use ...

@Neo_78,

This might help:

Perhaps someone else will add more detail.

Greetings step,
Yes, I did install the package from the test. Previously when I had looked for them in glsapt I didn't see them, and

Has anyone running Fatdog64-814 or Fatdog64-900 any experience using imobiledevice6 to extract images from an iphone?

I just tried this on a no-savefile 901 installation. It worked with some fiddling. I'll show the parts that needed attention.

Thank you @jamesbond, I'll verify it soon. fd64.ext2 is not a name that I have intentionally used.

Ahoy Fatdog team,

I booted into Fatdog64 900 without a savefile and did a trivial activity on a website, then came here to see what is new. I soon noticed a new version release and downloaded it. As is my practice, I went to shrink the initrd, this time using fatdog-split-initrd.sh rather than ...

keniv ,
I just tried it in a no-savefile boot, changing Edit>Preferences>Browser to display homepage on browser startup, and https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite copied and pasted from your last post as the Home button destination. I also made sure "new page" and "new window" matched this behaviour ...

Just a little follow up.

You've probably already seen that you can do that from Control Panel > System > Fatdog64 Edit Default Programs. You want to change "BROWSER". I think you need to logout or reboot for changes to take effect.
For the record, it always starts to work immediately for me ...
