Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

norgo and Clarity thanks for the link on SLK64. I think I am going to switch to that once I am done exploring the python3.9 package under Slacko64-7.0 I hope that the SLK64 Puppy will last a long time. I don't like to jump around too much. I like stability. Up to this point, I have used FossalPup64 ...

@michel804 you got exactly what you asked for :-) Slacko 7.0 = 32 bit ( i486, i586, i686 ) Slacko64 7.0 = 64 bit ( x86_64 ) here the 64 bit version python3-3.9.5-x86_64 Slacko64 7.0 is rather old, you should change to a newer distro. What do you do with your computer? audio, video, internet, office ...

... how can I install Python3.8 or higher. IN the PPM, the only version is 3.5... python3-3.9.5-slk7-i686.pet I just tested the package but it looks like it doesn't work on a 64 bit system. I am using slacko64-7.0 After installing the pet package, I got a successful message but I am not able to run ...

Hello Slacko users! I am testing Slacko 7.0 for the first time. I want to know if it still maintained and how can I install Python3.8 or higher. Thanks Michel The developer of Slacko 7.0 is no longer active and also it is based on an old version of Slackware (14.2) so you would be advised to use a ...

Hello Slacko users!
I am testing Slacko 7.0 for the first time.
I want to know if it still maintained and how can I install Python3.8 or higher.
IN the PPM, the only version is 3.5.
I have the devx installed but there is no Python 3
Thanks

youtube-dl in PPM is too old - as expected. youtube-dl is better to install from their website - easy installation! http://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html Hello zigbert, I am testing Slacko 7.0 for the first time and I followed your advice here to get youtube-dl. I followed the ...

i downloaded from the ibiblio link, it failed. Can you confirm which link you used please? The link to use is in post #1: http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/puppy-upups/puppy-upupbb/bionicpup32.htm That is the link I used. You can check it yourself. The content of the md5 text has this line ...

I want to try BionicPup32 on my IBM Lenovo ThinkPad T60 but when I tried to verify the iso file i downloaded from the ibiblio link, it failed. in the message it was complaining about Not finding the bionicpup32-8.0+30-uefi.iso ; in fact, the content of the md5 text file shows the iso, bionicpup32-8 ...

I tried to install OpenJDK 8 from PPM and got a Successful message that it was installed. However I could not run Java from the command line. The command was not recognized So where can I find the list of applications that have been installed through the PPM? I want to verify that it was actually ...

Cheers congratulations on a new year. I want to learn to write coding in Java language if you offer me suggestions of where to find the "jdk" for puppy bionic 64 and where to find tutorial to install it .. also where you could find tutorials to write the scripts,with simple examples to get the idea ...

If you didn't start yourself i have quick tutorial for you: 1) Download and load: jre-8u201-x64_xz.sfs 2) Download and load: jdk-8u201-x64_xz.sfs puppy_apprentice I tried to download the files but I think the link is bad, I see the number '404' in big and the website is not in english. I would like ...

Hello! Thank you for this distro.
I downloaded the iso file but I did not see a Devx file. Is there one or is it already included in the iso?
I am getting ready to test it in the coming week.
Thanks

Michel

Does it mean that you need a UEFI machine to run SuperGrub2? NO! Look at the site provided above. If you choose to download the ISO, its only 15MB. And if you create it on a CD/DVD, it boots in 6 seconds on a old BIOS PC. If you have a folder on your system, preferably on the root of a drive that ...

Hi @michel804 ... Which bootloader are you using? What is the boot entry? e.g. menu.lst for grub4dos. The browsers are compatible with 20.06 but not 19.09. Hi peebee , thanks for your response. I am using the Live CD and not an installed setup. The save file is on the HD in a separate partition in ...

Well, now.... SuperGRUB2 appears to work fine.....so long as you're running a mainstream derivative from recent years. ... It all appears to centre around the need for something called the "loopback.cfg" file; if this is not present, you're on a hiding to nothing. So despite Clarity's claims to the ...

Hello @mikeslr how do you get the menu.lst file at the start of a partition since Legacy Grub doesn't work with UEFI machine? I tried installing Puppy using the Universal Installer but it refused since I have an UEFI machine.
Thanks for your help

I am new to LxPupSc / ScPup but not to Puppy Linux, I have used slacko and Lighthouse puppy in the past. I am testing LxPupSc64 19.09 because it has the uefi capability. My goal is to do a frugal install and use it regularly: Email, web browsing and programming in Python3 as well as compiling other ...
