Ableton Versions Compatible with PuppyLinux 8.5/9.5:

I have been able to make it work with the one I mention at the begining of my Post, Version 10.0.6 without any Extra Efforts. BUT, We need a FIX for WINE x64 in PuppyLinux for Higher Versions as Ableton 11, Could please any of the MODs or ...

Hello, Wiak! Do not be overwhelmed by temporary misfortune. Never give up! You are doing a great and revolutionary job!

what Duprate said.

Appreciate your POW and you explain it sensibly for an outsider but it makes me a bit sad on behalf of the overall Puppy family well-being. Your work is ...

@fredx181 are my desktop pref. notes of any use to you? Would you prefer github issues instead if they are?

Hi bark-woof-fetch, yeah, sorry for not replying earlier, I'm in a rather inactive period these days.

Maybe later I'll ...

It's probably something hardware specific because of the new kernel or a component of the new installed packets (i.e. locales) behaving differently xz compressed.
Please try again with "noswap" and "nomagic" only in boot options -in case of an existing hdd problem- and booting with a x86 iso.

Slight iteration:

Firefox and https://getferdi.com/ just need a one time sync sign in, afterwards they're pulling server data into a session. No offline usage hence no need to save cache inside the squash or in savefolder/ or .dat.

Thunderbird profile data remains tricky. Will try the AppImage ...

You don't need to put it on a hard disk, suppose on a usb is the same think. Sometimes its hard for older machines to handle xz compression but i don't blame it as youre able to boot other xz compressed puppies/dogs.
Maybe it's because of the debian kernel. It's still in testing after all (next ...

This is the second report about difficulties on booting up from isolinux menu on an older machine.It was booting normally from the hd with grub.
I cant't reproduce it right here, so tell me how exactly you tried to boot (from a cd/dvd, usb, hd, mounted on emulator, pxe etc).

From USB. Exact ...

Welcome bark-woof-fetch and thanx for testing Sparkybonsai.

Only had 15 JWM minutes so far and find it exemplary polished yet neutral. Menu structure is logical. Wonder how much more overhead LXQt/LXDE needs to sort of do the same. Great work!

The JWM squash file separation: fantastic. I've ...

1. Make and save all your critical changes you want to restore in every boot (configurations, drivers, extra installed apps etc).
2. Use DebianDog's tool "Create Module from changes", save them in a file, i.e. "03-mychanges.squashfs" and copy it in /live/optional folder.
3. Check if your changes ...

bark-woof-fetch

I wouldn't trust appimages (yet), i think sfs are more stable. Anyway, it's your choice.

The drill is about how to keep the /changes/ for each sfs separated. If both firefox.squashfs and thunderbird.squashfs are loaded f.ex. and write some changes during usage those /changes/ are now inside a ...

bark-woof-fetch

as far as I understand https://docs.appimage.org/user-guide/portable-mode.html the next question is then which AppImageKit DebianDog uses and if it can create its own contained .home and .config

Using portable mode

This mode allows for bundling an application’s data next to the application’s ...

bark-woof-fetch

Compressing critical changes in squashfs to load to ram on boot-up and save the new ones on exit doesn't work?

Didn't think of that, so you convert the .dat to .sfs and boot as any other module?

And any changes are contained inside the sessions .dat or ../live/change/ folder?

I'll read up on ...

bark-woof-fetch

Sorry if I missed this one somewhere but I can't find a cheat code to copy changes.dat to RAM and the searches brings up just about every post about grub4dos ever.

Is this possible:

Just listing my user experience using your default Openbox settings for FossaDog and DebianDog.

FYI only, can edit to my own prefs of course but thought you'd might find a user report useful anyway.

bark-woof-fetch

Am looking into https://www.geany.org plugins that may work, do let me if you have found something useful elsewhere.

In particular shortcuts to create quotes, list items and inline links.

Off-topic note: https://www.dokuwiki.org/dokuwiki default settings for this is great

Mr. Pennington came up on my radar again today courtesy of https://podcast.asknoahshow.com/204?t=2610

It's been quite seamless for me to get started with you and all the other veterans and devs busy posting and answering on the forum.

Found this 6 years old talk by JT Pennington which really explains clearly how Puppy et.al. works, in particular layered, squashed filesystems.
He was a Puppy dev (as Q5sys) not sure if he's still around.

bark-woof-fetch

thanks for checking the details Fred, I'll pursue the /home/user1 link,source=config-files/user1 option first and report back. Hope to be able to use it for a multiuser setup.

If it doesn't work out each user gets their own porteus boot menu.lst entry instead with corresponding savefile paths.
