Actually I am not using the appimage.....but extracted the tarball and put that stuff into ~/my-applications and launched it from there by clicking on the binary. rockedge Erik: This is elegant and the easiest solution. The binary only works after installing the libayatana-appindicator3-1_0.5.4-2 f...

Localsend is a free, open-source, cross-platform file sharing gui that works well in linux (?puppy). I use it to transfer files/folders between my cell phone photos and 2 PCs at home. It has replaced gftp in linuxmint PCs at home. I have tried tar, deb, Appimage( with chmod +x) but can't get any of ...

Looking at what this needs for dependency software, Bionicpup64 is not going to have some of it, if any. Could try running the appimage from a terminal and see if any errors are given. Try using the Linux portable tar package you can get from here. https://www.shotcut.org/download/ The web page giv...

I have shotcut.AppImage that work in Fossapup64 but can't get it to run in BP64, even after chmod +x... Anyone able to run AppImage in BP64?

gychang

@gychang Looks like there's a small mistake in the deb2xbps script (message about "return"), but it could well be that it succeeded despite that (looks like IMO). Did you try xbps-install -R binpkgs rofi-1.5.4_1 ? (as suggested in the output) fredx181 Yes, I did. After installing and rebo...

@gychang ar comes in the binutils package. When using xbps directly on the command line: xbps-install -Sy binutils rockedge got it, thanks.

I am trying to install an older version of rofi (rofi_1.5.4-1_amd64.deb). Latest rofi from vpm i rofi command fails to show double columns. Older rofi works well in other puppy iso.

Hi @gychang

I made a pet that works perfectly for this version (ThumblerFP64),

@PipzDex where can I download the pet?

in all the pups I have tried gthumb does not properly display video thumbnail despite having the ffthumbnailer installed from the PPM. I can however play the video by sending it to celluloid. In Pix (linuxmint, gthumb variant) view and play the video natively. Any way gthumb can display video thumbn...

I have attempted to pair the device with two mobile phones. They do pair however they drop out all the time so playback is interrupted. Having chosen a less powerful amp the sound is low. Turning up the volume, Bass & Treble does make the playback stutter. I guess I should have stuck with the m...

gychang

@gychang Thank you for your suggestions, I did look on Amazon UK and I can see that they do stock Fosi Audio components :thumbup2: If you have some spare time, can you recommend a model that would work with the specifications of my speakers. @Grey I think speakers must be at least 20 years old .......

gychang

@Jasper Micca A250 is tiny 5.63 x 3.23 x 1.26" and powerful. Don't need banana plugs, bare wire worked fine (even to your speaker). I considered Fosi for $10 more, with significantly more power.

quick overview of my attempt at dual monitor with F96-CE4.

gychang

I hooked up an old monitor I wasn't using in FP65-CE4 setup. With xrandr and arandr I am able to view the new monitor as an extension of a single workspace (WS). I usually work with 6 virtualscreen/workspaces. Is it possible to display even WS in new monitor (2,4,6) and odd WS in the old monitor?

gychang

I also am looking at the scripts to possibly solve the missing tray icon in F96-CE_4 . I am breaking things wildly but have instance1 - instance10 of F96's to jump around. (jump jump, jump around........) I tried cortile in F96 in /usr/local/bin for minute then moved it, but will also move it there...

gychang

Hello - Thanks for this OS, very nice to use - I have two questions - Is there a way to line up the desk-top icons and make them evenly spaced apart ?. The only way I can try to get them 'tidy' is using the cursor to drag them and my hand is not steady enough to achieve this - Chelsea80 Chelsea80 R...

gychang

I am running bspwm tiling WM with F96-CE4 and works well. I see awesomewm is available with PPM but I can't seem to boot into it after install. After install I edited /etc/windowmanager to just awesome but just log into a prompt.

any ideas?

@MochiMoppel How is this done?

Puppy identifies my HD is sda, so in order to shut it down I use hdparm -Y /dev/sda

thanks!.

I boot all my desk/laptops from a USB stick because, apart from other advantages already mentioned, it allows me to shut off the internal "rust hard drive". I do this immediately after boot.

@MochiMoppel How is this done?

gychang

to mount a partition on boot, is even easier in puppy. Launch pmount and and click where the red pencil arrow is pointing to and u should get a drop-down menu click on the mount on boot. From now on will automount on boot, no need to fool with fstab.

I am running F96-CE4, frugal install to internal NVME drive. Got 16G of RAM and hopefully I am loaded to RAM as much as possible on boot. It is fast.

@MochiMoppel very useful, thanks.

Insert this into ~/.jwm/jwmrc-personal: <Key mask="CS" key="m">move</Key> then can use Ctrl-Shift+m key, then arrow keys to move a window.
