I had always been under the impression that Puppy was for average users, but I guess with the complexities introduced by all the packaging problems it's an expert's distro now. Well there is no one Puppy distro any more, and some require more technical knowhow than others. Back in the early Puppies ...

one final note for tomorrow. If a properly burned StickPup thumbdrive doesn't start your mini up, try F2StickPup. They burn different types of boot methods, and some computers like one better than the other. Both of those are available in F96-CE rev4 under Menu>Setup. I think it all would work best ...

And in stickpup, choose iso, NOT zip as the source of the puppy.

vtpup

This is the exact address of the F96-CE ISO file:

There is no ZIP file. (.zip)

As I said, the easiest thing (and probably most familiar) is to make a DVD, first. Not a USB stick. I'm guessing that the way you originally installed Bionic on your desktop was via a DVD of Bionic. I'm just suggesting that you make a similar DVD of F96 - CE, and then reboot with that in the DVD ...

vtpup

You can Use Puppy's Pburn in Bionic in your HP Desk to make a DVD of F96-CE, then reboot.

Easiest way: For USB stick installation, see if your desktop will run whatever flavor pup/dog you want temporarily, then write the stick for that OS from Menu>Setup>StickPup (or F2SticPpup). Looks like you have a dvd drive on the HP 600, so just burn the new OS to a DVD, and then reboot and run from ...

tigerflag I think you mean portables not .pets? .pets were always installed by the Puppy Package Manager. Mike Walsh's portables are found here : https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=5104 Moving back to your problem testing a puppy flavor on a newer computer -- I had that problem, which was ...

vtpup

Reading these last couple of posts I had to cringe a little, but mainly in sympathy. I knew the word .pet would cause confusion. Nobody who isn't already familiar with puppy linux's past would know that a .pet is the extension for a traditional program file in Puppys. (Well there were before that ...

Thanks Mike, I'll download the Mediafire one. The Catch 22 of course was that in order to comply with Google's idiocy about downloading only with a "Google Approved" browser, Firefox portable was also hosted there. Double block. Btw Mike, why not host your portable Puppy stuff on Ibiblio.com -- it's ...

Real world tests after configuring seemed to favor streaming video for some reason, compared to poor performance just browser surfing, and particularly poor performance for email. The opposite of what I would have expected. wouldn't connection speed be more to do with comunication between the ...

Received the Mango VPN Router and spent a lot of time trying to configure it. Eventually did get it going for both OpenVPN and Wireguard. Wireguard was the fastest connection through it at about 13 Mbps OpneVPN was about 6 Mbps. My cable modem is rated 50 Mbps, and actually measure 60, so these VPN ...

The Mango is kind of cute, too. Looks like a block of cheese.

Could be a drawback this time of year though.

Interesting review of the Mango VPN router:

williwaw and wizard Thanks, and very interesting both. I'd try both of those, except it would mean setting up all devices for everybody in the house, including my own shameful number of new and not so new computers, with a variety of puppy types. Plus the TV isn't compatible at all. Since they all ...

vtpup

@bigpup thanks, that worked on Firefox. Unfortunately I mainly use Seamonkey, and not available for that. Also Surfshark doesn't work with Roku TV. And it doesn't work with my Xfinity router. I guess the only solution is to get another router and use bridge mode. Looking into that, or possibly ...

vtpup

The usual: Decide to try VPN. Research available vendors. Choose Surfshark. "Works with any Linux". Pay for subscription. Requires simple download of app. Multiple linux download flavors available. Okay, Choose Ubuntu....... uh oh, it's a snap pack. Been warned against those in Puppys.... Okay then ...

mikewalsh Thanks for confirmation, Mike. BTW when you tried 9.19 WINE staging and it did work, were you on BWP64 ver 10.8? Or were you on 10.6? I couldn't even get the 8.0 WINE sfs working on 10.8 version of BWP64. Total agreement about no problem using older versions of WINE, for me. I'm just ...

vtpup

Wine 8.0 Stable (32-bit & 64-bit) SFS does not appear to work with Bookwormpup64 10.0.8 I believe GLIBC_2.40 is now used # winecfg ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/libexec/connman/libadjtime.so' from /etc/ld.so.preload cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64): ignored. /usr/lib/wine/wine: /lib ...

vtpup

Heh, Mike, a new Catch 22.. I wanted to try installing Firefox on my wife's laptop, because I tried to download your LibreOffice portable on her Tahr64 system, and Google blocked Seamonkey (yes, latest) from accessing the site. Google obviously owns MegaNZ and seems to be using alternative browser ...

vtpup

Background: I've been using the Fossapup64 9.5 32 bit compatibility sfs with F96-CE rev4, but it did not work with my 32 bit printer driver. The problem was that the i386 libraries while present, weren't found by the OS. Rockedge provided a manual solution in the form of a config file. I have ...

vtpup

I use Cura.

Appimage works on F96-CE r4 , and I believe I also had run it on BionicPup64 in the past.

vtpup

I just made a 32bit-compatibility-F96CE-r4.sfs that I tested. It adds the i386 compat libraries and configures F96CE for them. Don't know where to post it, in case anybody else wants it. Usage: You can load it via Puppy Boot Manager for use next after boot, or load it on the fly, but in that case ...

vtpup

Further interesting info: There is included in F96 CE rev 4 already a file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/zz_i386-biarch-compat.conf whose contents are # Legacy biarch compatibility support /lib32 /usr/lib32 but this doesn't provide complete 32 bit compatibility. It needs both the F95 32 bit compat sfs, and then ...

vtpup

Solution to the 32 bit compatibility problem was posted here:

vtpup

@Jasper, sorry, no haven't tried compiling things -- looked at it but, beyond my ability to understand, or do. @rockedge That Worked! :thumbup: My /etc/ld.so.conf.d/32bit_compat.conf file reads: # Multiarch support /lib32 /lib/i386-linux-gnu /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu Then I did a ldconfig And voila ...

vtpup

Thanks d-pupp I'll try that but I have my doubts -- This is an old printer, and the wifi connection is through a separate print server, also old tech. Thanks mow9902 I'm not sure /root/my-applications/lib is in the path. I believe only /root/my-applications/bin is -- at least that's what /etc ...

vtpup

I've taken apart and examined the components of the necessary driver for my printer and I think the problem is that the filters are 32 bit. F-96CE can apparently load the Fossapup64 32 bit compat, BUT it doesn't find the path to the i386 libs. See here: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p ...

vtpup

Okay so I've finally wandered here after forum searches from my attempts to get my older Dell Color Laser printer working in F96-CE rev4. I've narrowed the problem down to the fact that the necessary CUPS printer filters are 32 bit, hence I need 32 bit compatibility in F96-CE. It is not possible to ...
