Re: Quiet

I think fatdoguser meant that nobody seems to post anything in the Fatdog forum for a while. The quietness can be interpreted in many ways, but the positive way to look at it is that everything is working as intended, so nothing to report / ask :) We do have package updates from to time but we don't...

Re: Midori Browser with Gecko

The issue seems to be that the newer midori fails to download the needed DRM plugins. If you've previously used the older midori, those plugins have already been downloaded and they would continue to work with the newer midori. So I agree with fredx181 , I think using a copy of a "backup" ...

I usually no longer indulge in this kind of thread, but let's just hope that this thread doesn't get deleted at the end.

Re: DistroWatch needs a newer Puppy version listed for Puppy Linux!!!!!

following specific rules IIRC, the only rule is that it has to be built using Woof-CE. There is nothing saying it can't be modified / customised afterwards.

In Fatdog64, you can just double-click the qv.img file with ROX and you can view the contents. Two additional drive icons will be shown on the desktop (dm-0 and dm-1), and you can mount them by clicking on the drive icon as usual. The main btrfs partition would be in dm-1.

Re: Tips for using Pipewire and Wine

Or you can route all ALSA output (including wine's) through pipewire without having to change anything on the pipewire's side.

Code: Select all

ctl.!default {
	type pipewire
}
pcm.!default {
	type plug
	slave.pcm.type pipewire
}

There are pros and cons whichever method you choose to use.
