I prefer my Daedalus 6.6.5 to have the looks according to an old-fashioned Puppylinux style.

I do not have the patience, and I also feel that I lack some skills, so I do not usually build my own versions of programs. Only the occational tiny one. But, I have never let any program be automatically updated, I have never understood why people would allow that.

BTW, re. security; the latest ...

Dell Latitude E6400 laptop updated from Daedalus 6.6.3 to 6.6.5 with a delta file.
Thank you, Barry!

Take care, Barry.

Hi scsijon. Haha, I have a feeling that BarryK may utter some harsh remarks when he read this thread! You won't even find a link to download an EasyPup anymore! :lol:
I have EasyPup 2.5.1 installed next to my EasyOS Daedalus in my old Dell laptop that I use now, but until my over 20 year old HDD ...

Hi Barry. Updated to 6.5.7. After that, my Vivaldi only posted an unknown balck'n white image, but worked after installing the latest version. All other applications seem to function, with a couple of exceptions. Bluetooth is stiill not working, I get the same message as previously reported: 'No ...

BarryK, 6.5.5 is now up and running. I try to transfer some music files from my PC to my Android phone, which I later connect by Bluetooth to my car stereo.
But, Bluetooth and EasyShare are still not working in Daedalus. BT is still reporting: 'No default controller available'.
Sure, I can use ...

Thank you, bugnaw333. I checked my /devuan/daedalus dir, and it is 2687MB in size. That makes for a new question; What can safely be deleted? I started to install additional packages in 6.5, 6.5.1.1, 6.5.3, and also in 6.5.4.2. Are those lost if I update with a delta file, and delete the old sfs's ...

tallboy

Additinal question: I also tried to make a Snapshot of the working session, but the program quit abruptly without making a Snapshot. Is that also related to the problem with lack of space? I have never had a 20 gig working directory before, but that is obviously too small now.

bugnaw333, yes, I'll ...

I don't know if it is relevant, but one of my old PC's refuses to accept my 64Gb USB3.0 flash stick, even if it should be back compatible with older USB verions. All my 32Gb sticks works OK.

BarryK, thank you for the updated 6.5.5. I tried to install the delta file, but got a message about lack of space, please see my post 'The installed EasyOS's are extremely large!'

Hi BarryK,
I updated to Daedalus 6.5.4.2.

Eeeh, have you forgotten to fix the problem of Bluetooth and EasyShare not working?

BarryK, thank you! I don't know what kind of magic wand you swung from a place on the other side of the world, but now LO Writer open and run as it should. I have no idea why it did no start after several attempts earlier, I have done nothing. Maybe test running the rest of LO functions triggered ...

I have to correct my last post; LibreOffice Writer has collapsed after update to Daedalus 6.5.3, the other LibreOffice sections seem to work. Writer opens an empty window, no menus, no nothing. Is there a Writer config file somewhere? I have difficulties finding one.

I have lots of old .abw files ...

Updated Daedalus 6.5 to 6.5.3
Updated Scarthgap 6.5 to 6.5.3
No issues with any of them.

BarryK, I really enjoy the Daedalus, it gives me the same feeling as the classic Puppys did/do. I am not yet very comfortable with the use of ...

Hi Barry, and Merry X-mas to you and all others!

Can you please take a look at Bluetooth in the next Daedalus? I still run 6.5, and neither Bluetooth - nor EasyShare - work on my Dell E6400 laptop. Network and wifi connctions are OK. Bluetooth works in EasyPup on the same laptop.

Re. missing gftprc
thinkpadfreak and others, as I wrote earlier, the gftprc file is misplaced.

Running gftp in a terminal gives this message:

gFTP Error: Cannot find master config file /usr/share/gftp/gftprc

gtftprc is stored here: /etc/gftp/gftprc, so I made a symlink to /usr/share ...

Federico, thank you for your suggestions, but I doubt the hardware is a problem. The laptop with 5 different EasyOS and Puppys, is running by wifi from my router, I can send a file using BlueTooth from the earlier version of BluePup (5.50 if I remember correct) in EasyPup. The command lspci only ...

Re: Bluetooth
Is that failure for both Scarthgap and Daedalus?
Yes, I retested a few minutes ago, and both Scarthgap and Daedalus report 'no default controller available'.
I checked my laptop's bios to confirm BT activation, and I also sent an image to my phone by BT, from the same laptop, using ...

I reported that Scartgap 6.5 and Daedalus 6.5 works, but I forgot to test Bluetooth. It does not work, My Huawei Mate 20 Pro Android phone reports Bluez found, but fail to pair, my Dell 6400 laptop reports no available default controller.

Running gftp in a terminal gives this message:

Code: Select all

# ./gftp
gFTP Error: Cannot find master config file /usr/share/gftp/gftprc

gtftprc is stored here: /etc/gftp/gftprc, so I made a symlink to /usr/share/gftp/gftprc, and gftp now works as intended.

Hi Barry.
I installed a selection of Easy and Puppy to my old Dell Latitude 6400 laptop. I don't know it's age, but the A27 bios is from 2010. I installed Easy Deadalus 6.5, Easy Scarthgap 6.5, BookwormPup64 10.0.8, an old EasyPup 2.5.1, and an even older remastered TahrPup64 6.0.6. They were ...

I can see that in BookwormPup, the Xpad is in the menu.

BTW; gFTP does not work:

I run Daedalus 6.4.4 from a USB stick. I prefer it over the Scarthgap, because of the great selection of Devuan program packages.
I have used the package Xpad for ages, since it was first available in a Puppy. It is a yellow pad for quick notes. It can be used from the menu, but is commonly set to ...

My favorite is the Vivaldi built-in capture function, but I also use good old TAS. What the Vivaldi capture can do, is take a full window shot, not only the visible part on the screen, but all. I made an example of a shot of this entire thread with all posts, but it is unfortunately too large to ...

Hi Barry
I have now downloaded easy-6.4.1-amd64.img and easy-6.4.2-amd64.img. The problem is that the 6.4.1 version is Daedalus, and the 6.4.2 version is Scarthgap. To avoid confusion, can you please rename the Daedalus img before it's next upgrade?

I asked for help on the installation of Vmware, but I see that Vmware now have changed their setup.
I found a working Vmware (jeez, Windoze 7...) in an old Linuxbox with tahr64-6.0.6 installed frugal, so I'll use that whenever I need access to the car manuals. So, help not needed!
