Thank you, Barry. The 'no' is the default norwegian version. The 'nn' version was made by dialect fanatics, and for some reason they decided to use 'nb' for the normal langauge version, to separate it from the 'nn', instead of simply using 'no'. Yeah, I know!

Hi BarryK. I downloaded 5.2.1, but it does not have any norwegian location, or norwegian keyboard setup. I managed to open it with danish language and country, but please add the missing langages. The lists of countries and languages were very short. The network would not connect, it could not see a...

This is an old thread, I have read it earlier, but I have not found the words for a comment. I had 1760 recorded posts in murga-linux, but it felt like many more. I have 33 posts in this forum. The old forum was fun, and friendly, I think it was quite unique in the way it's members treated each othe...

Thank you, BarryK, I'll download Vivaldi deb and play. :-) In my Puppys and EasyPups, Vivaldi is installed to /opt/. I open the /opt/vivaldi/vivaldi script, and add --no-sandbox to the last line. # Note: exec -a below is a bashism. exec -a "$0" "$HERE/vivaldi-bin" --no-sandbox $@...

kinoe, I don't even know what an appimage is, and how to use it. Is there a way to make for example a .deb version usable in EasyOS?

Hi BarryK, I just booted EasyOS 5.0 from a USB stick on an old Dell E6230 laptop, and it works great, thank you. A Dell E6400 laptop did not like EasyOS at all. I have used EasyPup 2.4.91 on my main PC since it was published, and I use a Vivaldi browser. I am new to EasyOS, so I wonder how I can use...

At the moment I'm only asking this question out of curiosity, so it's all hypothetical for now, but here we go. As I have a number of machines to play around with it stands to reason they don't all need to be set up to do the same tasks. I have been in the same situation for many years, but on my d...

I have a Huawei Mate 20 Pro. The MTP connection program in tahr64 has never worked for me. Connecting with a cable from USB C on the phone to the USB port on the PC, automatically start the phone's charging process, but dragging down a menu on the phone, lets me choose an access to the photo Gallery...

I have had a related problem, mikeslr is touching the subject. My tahr64 would not show thumbnails, and the folder named /root/.thumbnails/normal was inaccessible. I could not delete it, I could not move it, everything was denied, I also tried to manipulate the save file, I asked this forum, but not...

greengeek, this is the window popping up by the Print command in the Vivaldi 4.3 menu. I use this for printing from a website, I mostly use Xpdf to read .pdf files.

Vivaldi relased a new version today, 4.3, for both PC and Android. I write this from my Vivaldi 4.3 in tahr64-6.0.6.

BTW; Vivaldi 4.3 plays html5, which my 4.2 complained about not doing in tahr64.

One of my main reasons for using multiple browsers is I often print webpages to pdf or to my printer and different browsers have different capabilities when it comes to capturing and formatting the printed output. That is why I never use the internal browser .pdf reader. I install and use good, ol'...

Hi Mike. Tahrpup's libs'n'stuff are really 'long in the tooth' by now. That is a Palemoon problem, not a Vivaldi problem. Vivaldi 4.2.2406.54 (Stable channel) stable (64-bit) Command Line /usr/bin/vivaldi-stable --no-sandbox --enable-crashpad --flag-switches-begin --flag-switches-end --save-page-as-...

I have used Palemoon for years, but I have now switched to the absolutely fabulous Vivaldi! I still have the Palemoon, but because they did nothing to improve a situation with crashes when I scroll thumbnails of ads in our local list similar to Craigslist, despite several approaches in the forum, I ...

Thank you, rockedge.

I use 2 main versions, depending on which machine I use: Puppy tahr64_6.0.6 and EasyPup 2.4.91. Both has Vivaldi as main browser, and PaleMoon, Xpdf, Imagemagick as main additions, VMware for Windows based auto workshop manuals, a VPN service is run in the background.

Hi Flash, long time no see! I had a lot of problems with EasyPup 2.4 and 2.51, so I use 2.4.91 instead. Works flawlessly! BTW, audio problems in Puppys has been debated up-and-down through the years, and now seem to migrate to EasyPup. I have never seen that in other forums, so I have a feeling that...

Vivaldi is using the old gimmick trick to attract users so it can be profitable...

Funny that is is totally free, then!

I run NordVPN and Vivaldi 4.0 on both PC and Android phone.

I use the latest Vivaldi browser. I activate both blocking of tracers and ads in the settings, it works flawlessly. My active NordVPN does not affect anything I do.

This was a theme in the old forum. I have no number for all the times my Puppys have frozen! All possible suggestions about how to restart it by entering certain key sequences etcetra, is bullsh..., because X is frozen, keyboard is frozen, mouse is frozen, there are no input devices that work, you c...

I have 4 virtual windows in Rox, and in one of them I run a Vavaldi browser, that can be tiled any way you want.

step, that article about Google FloC should be read by all PC users, it is vital information.

As Vivaldi says: FloC off!

...though in their case I find it better laid out.....these are activated from the side panel, rather than having TWO rows of tabs along the top (which I, personally, would find confusing). Mike, in Vivaldi you can choose which of those methods you prefer, panel or tabs, or, you can use both at the...

The changes to Vivaldi's speed is very recent, less that two weeks ago: https://vivaldi.com/blog/how-we-made-vivaldi-faster-independent-of-chromium/ There are some very interesting details to be found here, that explains the relation to Google: https://vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-different-from-chrome/...

bigpup, I see no reason to use other browsers than the ones that actually work. Vivaldi has features that no other browser can meet, and it's rendering engine is based on the latest open-source Chrome code. And what does Firefox have that I potentially should miss? I could download Seamonkey for it'...

I run the latest Vivaldi in tahr64_6.0.6, it is very fast - up almost 50% from previous version, and totally stable. The tab management is incredible. I installed it using the tool https://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet_packages-noarch/install-vivaldi-0.4-noarch.pet. It takes some time to convert...

Hi guys, long time no see! I run a live EasyPup 2.4.91 from a multisession DVD on my laptops and other old PCs, but I have run a frugal tahr64_6.0.6 for app. 1½ years on this old PC, as a replacement for my Lucid. It works very well. I installed screen to run NordVPN in the background. To use the la...

A method not mentioned here, is of course one of the original methods from the first Puppys, which is my preferred way of doing things. It is ideal for a PC with a R/W disc station, and you don't even need to have a harddisk in the PC! Nowadays, the latest PCs unfortunately don't have a disc bay at ...
