Volhout HO HO HO you cannot see the save file level in the statistics on screen right ? fixed in next release I use Menu>Filesystem>Gdmap to watch the root and Resize Personal Storge File, but I don't see any growth with Chromium in normal use. You will see changes when adding extensions and ...

wizard

Volhout I notice, when I open Chromium, that it opens several PID's (minimal 4) that consume easily 800Mbytes Normal, though a little high compared to my install (same as yours), but mine releases when closed, could not duplicate that. FREE UP SPACE TO CONTINUE Check your savefile size, my initial ...

Volhout So I need to make a user manual for this pup based on icons and screen dumps. And remove everything from the pup that is confusing. One of the objectives for Cloudpup is to isolate the user from the underlying OS/file system. That means no access to any file manager and avoid any app with a ...

Volhout Enjoy the time with your family and children, who will grow up all to soon. For many years my family celebrated not only in our home but in three other families homes. It was a whirlwind of celebration from which we all have fond memories. The debt here is mine, I have received the help ...

@snoring_cat

Hi cat,,

you can have my Fossa64 ISO, which is pristine

Is this just the standard or one you have stripped? What size is it?

Merry Christmas

When I run this in a script and click OK I get no echo message in the terminal. Something wrong?

Code: Select all

yad [ $? -ne 0 ] && exit
echo OK was clicked

Thanks

snoring_cat Hi cat, I think you are missing the fdrv_fossapup64_9.5.sfs file During remaster both adrv and fdrv are merged into puppy_fossapup64_9.5.sfs, Did you try adding a fdrv to see if that fixed your connect issue? A lot of the size is browser related, configuration, extensions, etc. Keep in ...

Just started using yad and read smokey01's tutorial which is great. I did not see an example of how to capture the OKCancel button clicks.

Volhout Here is a link to the first beta of Cloudpup-Fossa64. Still more to do, but want some feedback at this point. EDIT: see here for latest release https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=4816 This is old beta https://sourceforge.net/projects/cloudpup-fossa64/files/cloudpup-fossa64 ...

@dancytron
Hi dan

Running chromium64_94.0.4606.54_lx_spot.sfs. Downloaded chromium-browser.gz. There isn't a chromium-browser file in usr/bin so renamed to chromium. Also noticed that the file specs 32bit. Set everything else up, but it does not run.

Thanks

Volhout statistical data on screen may be nice More than nice, it's your first line troubleshooting tool, might reduce it some, but would advise leaving. you run the browser as spot, you cannot corrupt your system Very little chance and easy to recover if an issue does arise. tried to work with ...

Volhout Here's a look at a quick Puppy makeover of fossapup64 9.5. Chose it since I have lots of experience manipulating it and it will run the newest browser versions. As it stands now: -chromium64_94.0.4606.54_lx_spot.sfs -user has access to only those apps in the bottom tray: -chromium -shutdown ...

@Volhout

But when I started some of the apps, my identity changed, and I was teacher again. I could even change my grades... So somewhere identities where swapped.

You need to turn off save passwords in settings.

@Volhout

See my reply above, try formatting the USB with one of the referenced utilities, then use the w10 manual method to install.

wizard

wizard

Volhout You did not say if you tried installing cloudready from Windows or Linux. Also, you did not say if the install completed successfully, it takes 20 minutes, maybe more. I had problems installing from Puppy Linux, but did get installed from W10 (manual method). My install is on a 32gb Sandisk ...

wizard

The OP's hardware can run almost anything. Rather than us reinvent the wheel, I would suggest trying Neverware's CloudReady which is a Chrome OS work-a-like. Run it from a 32gb USB like this: https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-32GB-Ultra-Flash-Drive/dp/B077VXV323 about $8 US. Small profile = less likely ...

geo_c Drag it to the desktop to create a launcher and assign an icon to launch the panel from the desktop. You might want to consider making a simple .desktop file for the script, then drag and drop the .desktop file to the desktop. The advantage is the icon is then automatic and will not be broken ...

bigpup If something goes wrong with the save. If the Puppy version will still boot. Click on the backup file, this program made. It will go through the process of replacing the save, with this backup. This is the first time I've seen this described and tried it on fossa64 9.5. Get a "No run action ...

wizard

Writing some shell scripts in fossa64 9.5 I find I could use xdialog, gtkdialog or yad. Are there reasons to use one vs another?

wizard

wizard

You can multi-boot with many OS's, but it usually requires re-partitioning. Some "live" ISO's can be booted directly by grub, but the catch comes when you want persistence, the ability to save changes, documents, etc. between sessions.

Wiak knows more than I do about other distros. Puppy is unique in many ways and it's ability to "coexist" on a host operating system is one of them. Other operating systems install thousands of files to an internal drive and must have a suitable file system to support them. Puppy on the other hand ...

Sam, here are my notes so far on your article: lickgrub.cfg can be edited by notepad in Windows Although you can use lick to install to a new partition, one of Lick's primary advantages is letting it put the Puppy files in a folder on the Windows partition, no repartitioning required and no issue ...

wizard

I think the thing I need help with the most is the setup during the first shutdown. Much of that I do not understand and I think it would help anyone using a Puppy for the first time to have some help understanding what to do. Often familiarity, knowing to much, is a handicap when writing howto's ...

wizard

Hi Sam, Take a look at this topic: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=4681 if you download the ISO and run it you'll find find multiple howto documents on installing Puppy. They are illustrated and are click-by-click. Feel free to use all or any part of them. Currently they only cover the ...
