@oliverjames :- I just had a look at TeamViewer again, after nearly 2 years since last visiting the site. It appears to be all change there now; the app is re-designed yet again, and they appear to have moved to a paid-only model. This needs clarification; any one who actually initiates a ...

@oliverjames Unfortunately the installation of nomachine and the application itself will not work on puppylinux Distros out of the box. There are a lot of reasons like Installer doesn't detect the Distro system is not a multi-user-system (but a user and group nx are mandatory) needed commands (e.g ...

This is why. https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=89143#p89143 You can manually override the hold on each package but if you do there is a chance you may break something. Thank you for your explanation. I'll leave well alone. Maintenance of my "conventional" Linux installations led me to ...

When I try to update the software packages with Synaptic 35 packages are listed as upgradable but are then held back. Similarly with nala, 35 packages listed as upgradable but then when nala upgrade is invoked the message received is that all packages are up to date. Could someone explain what the ...

What kind of an MX install did you start with?

It was a standard install to my boot ssd. MX 23.1, gpt, root, swap and home partitions.

@ozboomer :- As t'other Mike says, it's a "portable" build. It's designed in such a way that you can run it from literally anywhere. All its config files'n'stuff are self-contained, and remain within the one directory. You can even run it from a suitably-formatted flash drive, should you wish. I ...

I'm running BookwormPup64, and downloaded nomachine_8.11.3_4_amd64 from the Nomachine site. Whether I run dpkg -i nomachine_8.11.3_4_amd64.deb or install with gdebi the system returns this message: Setting up nomachine (8.11.3-4) ... Usage: nxserver ACTION Actions: --install {SYSTEM} Run the ...

... So can I use the Custom 40, update-grub, solution from within MX-linux, adding the script: menuentry "BookwormPup64 10.0.5" { search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root faf4b8d1-1ceb-4b69-8655-c2e40f9862f1 linux /Frugalpup/vmlinuz pmedia=cd pfix=fsck if [ -e /ucode.cpio ]; then initrd /ucode.cpio ...

A quick additional post to say thank you for your replies. Running this Bookwormpup64 installation and indeed, exploring the possibilities of the Linux OS in all it's formats is clearly the way to learn.

@oliverjames Can I ask if you are actually seeing your "menuentry" appear on the screen when you boot up. The reason I ask is that I tried some time ago to boot a frugal puppy together with Mint Linux 21.1 using the version of grub in Mint Linux. I was fairly sure that the boot stanza I entered ...

oliverjames

Thank you all for your replies, I realise that what I should have asked is, "How do I get the Puppy boot instruction, placed in the EFI directory when I did a frugal install, to be registered on the boot menu that was last created in MX-Linux"? If anyone can point me to an explanation of how the ...

Post MX's GRUB2 /boot/grub/grub.cfg Here it is: # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ]; then set have_grubenv=true load_env fi ...

Hello, I'm very impressed with this new (for me) Puppy. I did a frugal install and selected to add its boot instruction to ubuntu (actually Mint). On my machine I boot from an ssd "sdc" which is gpt and boots MX or Mint from Grub that located in MX. Could someone please help me by explaining how to ...

Puppy Package Manager(PPM)->Uninstall I would keep apulse installed by the apulse pet package. When you get Firefox uninstalled. Reboot to make sure the change is saved. Note: PPM is good for getting programs, but it is easy to select the wrong thing. It will lists parts of programs, along with the ...

I did a frugal install of both and each time was presented with a recommended Grub (legacy) text. What was giving you this wrong information? I cannot say that the information was wrong. This is the text that the OS displayed after the Fossapup frugal install (Bionicpup message similar): If you ...

You can remove that "root" comment line. menuentry 'Puppy Linux - Fossapup64 9.5 frugal' { search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 27d9131c-fb41-4b71-9203-a345b7be26c2 linux /fossapup649.5/vmlinuz pmedia=atahd psubdir=/fossapup649.5 initrd /fossapup649.5/initrd.gz } Of course one can remove it ...

I'm enjoying the new Fossapup as well as the Bionicpup. I did a frugal install of both and each time was presented with a recommended Grub (legacy) text. title Puppy Linux - fossapup64 9.5 frugal in sda5 dir fossapup649.5frugal #root (hd0,0) <-- GRUB legacy, find --set-root uuid () 27d9131c-fb41 ...

I've been searching here and on the Web but to date have not found a guide for installing Fossapup64. I've frugal installations of Bionicpup64 and Zenialpup64 in folders with their respective save files on sda6. The Fossapup save utility gives options for frugal install uefi and no uefi but I've not ...
