Somewhere in the listing for every single item in the vast Ubuntu repositories, you will find a tar.gz/tar.xz package. This will be the source-code for that item.
Mike. ;)

That's great this means I can just use the source code to compile it for my version of puppy linux or the 32 ...

@Mike3 Have you considered using VoidPup32 ?

VoidPup32 is a Puppy Linux built with Void Linux binaries and package manager. Void Linux has a 32 bit Audacity package. Check the Void Linux packages here -> https://voidlinux.org/packages/?arch=i686

You may be able to start by using LazY Puppy Version 5, https://oldforum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=107208 which is based on Tahrpup tahr 6.0.2, but note the long list of applications relating to music production it provides. Its creator now goes by the handle taersh. He's a professional ...

According to Wikipedia, the Linux Unified Key Setup (LUKS) is a disk encryption specification created by Clemens Fruhwirth in 2004 and was originally intended for Linux.

Thanks for the info. When was it included in puppy linux?

Who made th grafic interface for it with the upside tringle and ...

@bigpup

In general you can find 32bit apps.
Some may still offer 32 bit latest version, but a lot will no longer make 32 bit versions.
So you may have to use older versions of apps.

How do I find old versions of apps? On github? Or do I need to email the developers?

There are people on this ...

Mike3

I think it's cool that you can encrypt the whole OS in Puppy Linux.

When was this introduced and who programmed it?

Mike3

So, I'm planning on using puppy linux for websurfing and music production and I'm thinking about getting an older 32 bit computer due to the low costs of them and other factors.

I saw that there are 32 bit versions available of the main distros, but what about apps.

Are the main apps available ...

Mike3

So, I noticed some webpages manage to see info on what OS I use.

Can they also see kernel version?

When using a friends computer there was even a webpage that could see his phonenumber connected to his modem, which was a smartphone.

So I assume the webpages read this information from some file ...

Mike3

It seems that both all the palemoon and all the libreoffice files are in the pup_a folder.

@williams2

So are the original files from the iso stored in the sfs files? if not, where are they installed?

Firefox is in pup_ro2 and some icons for it is in pup_ro2.

But where are these files stored when ...

Mike3

So I deleted a buncha apps like libreoffice and palemoon from all the sfs's (the main puppy.sfs, the adrv.sfs, fdrv.sfs & zdrv.sfs) using unsquashfs and mksquashfs.

I deleted most if not all of the files with these names and that removed these apps from the meny and so on.

Everything works great ...

Mike3

So, where does new apps installed with the PPM end up?

Are they automatically put by the PPM in the adrv.sfs / zdrv.sfs and so on files?

If I create a new ydrv.sfs file with for example the new apps there, would that be automatically loaded on startup?

How do I make it so that the app is started ...

Mike3

So, I wanna include new apps into the old sfs files that were included in install like: "puppy.sfs / adrv.sfs / zdrv.sfs" and the like or in a new sfs.

How do I do this?

I know how to do the unsquashfs and mksquashfs thing but where in an existing sfs should I place the files for an app?

And if ...

Mike3

What are the YASSM and samba apps used for?

To share files and the like over local networks, ethernet and the like?

I don't want to share any files can I delete these apps and still have a functioning system? Or does one need them to lika attach files to emails and the like?

Mike3

@mikeslr: I got it working now and removed what I wanted removed with the unsquashfs & mksquashfs command.

Is there any reason to use dir2sfs if mksquashfs works fine is dir2sfs better in any way? Is the result different.

I dunno I just removed the stuff I wanna get rid of from the squashfs-root ...

Mike3

I got it working somehow, removed stuff not all at once but a bunch at a time and then tried to see if everything worked.

But now I wanna remove the pFind entry from the MENU -> FILESYSTEM, so I need to remove it from the .jwmrc file, but I can't find it due to having removed the main pFind files ...

Mike3

Mike3

So I did unsquashfs to the main puppy.sfs file then took away a bunch of files and resquashed it with the mksquashfs. And then I changed the old main puppy.sfs to this new one.

It works technically but it seems I took away some file that puppy needs to work.

It seems to start fine, loads the main ...

Mike3

Yes! Example:
dir2sfs /mnt/sdc2/BuildPuppy/ArtStudio64/adrv-edit

So is the /mnt/sdc2/BuildPuppy/ArtStudio64/adrv.edit that appears after the dir2sfs command just the pathway to the file one wants to make a sfs file? Would it in my case then be something like:

disr2sfs /mnt/sdb1/u/p/ , since ...

Mike3

What's the result, if you type into the terminal:
which dir2sfs

The result is:

/sbin/dir2sfs

But I can't see it as a right click option. Should I be able to easily hw does it show up normally when rightclicking? Can I run dir2sfs from terminal or in some other way?

It worked before no ...

Mike3

@ taersh, I couldn't see any dir2sfs option when right clicking the unsquashed file, squashfw-root. Just open with, properties and the like.

@ williams2. Actually it did load the puppy.sfs main file before it loaded the adrv.sfs, zdsv.sfs. It just didn't show on the photo I took because everything ...

Mike3

So I wanna take away some files from the sfs files.

So I do the unsquashfs to the main puppy.sfs file in the home folder of the USB, no problem but then when I do the mksquash to the squashfs-root, the usquashed folder it seems to work, but then when replacing the original puppy.sfs with it it ...

Mike3

So I wanna use unsquashfs in order to take away files permanently from the sfs files.

From what I understan, if one puts the unsquahed file in the same folder as the file one does the unsquashing to, then there is an issue that all files are doubled, duplicated which results in a larger file, so I ...

Mike3

It worked a couple of times but now I have issues finding the puppy.sfs main file when unsquashing.

I first make a new directory on my USB with:

mkdir -p /mnt/sdg1/unsquasged/puppy

This makes the new directorys unsquashed and puppy no prblem but when I do the:

The I go to the directory with:

cd ...

Mike3

So I installed a new puppy and installed the latest firefox from the PPM but there is no sound!

I get sound from playing audio files and palemoon webbrowser.

I read some threads on the forum so I installed also pulseaudio and enabled: Play DRM-controlled content.

I instalkled this version of ...

Mike3

So, I wanted to try to run puppy as user Fido, to have restricted access and added security.

But it seems a lot of things do not work when using puppy as Fido.

I could not get the firewall to start!

And also I couldn't easily switch back to root. Is there a way to easily switch between being in ...

Mike3

Hi Phoenix!

You can compile it via the standard devx sfs and invoke make. Root is also required for this application.

How do I do this? Do I need a compiler?

And in order to remove it it has to be disabled via system firmware/BIOS.

How is this done? I just disabled the Intel VT thing ...

Mike3

I saw the mei-amt-check app that checks if there is the Intel AMT. Does it check all chips on your computer or just the CPU?

Also I couldn't find it for puppy, just for PClinux & void Linux: https://pkgs.org/search/?q=mei-amt-check

Is there any way to make the app work for puppy or do I have to ...

Mike3

I looked inside the computer and the large Intel chip besides the CPU I could see was the:
NH82801GB.

When I check the PCI devices I get these chips/chipsets:
Intel Corporation 4 Series
Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7

But the 82G41/G41 and the 82801GB chips seems to be different ones:

https://ark ...

Mike3

Personally, I've never understood why folks want to go to all this trouble to prevent anyone "snooping" on their online activities? Do you have something to hide.....something of which you're embarrassed, or ashamed?

I guess it depends on what you do. If you work in technology, art or design or ...
