A "Thumbs Up" for all of you! I have downloaded the file step made and I will study that. Once I fixed the microphone incompatibility and discovered that the mhWaveEdit "Record was under the Play menu :oops: (Thanks to step for the F12) I have been using that. I had a voicemail that w...

Hello there Rockedge, and thanks! I have read that ".pets" will not work in FatDog64, but I tried to convert the package format to that needed by FD64 anyway. Although the converted package did report installing correctly and I did get to look around at it a bit (The "configuration&qu...

Hi Mike! Recently I discovered your "Ungoogled_Chromium-portable64" and it works very well in FD64-901. So, I have followed your link and downloaded the "SimpleAudioRecorder-portable". The GUI does come up but all that you described does not appear for me. Also, some buttons do n...

Thank you Step! :thumbup: I did not know about arecord but I do now. In general, I will use the GUI unless I already know I get a better result using a terminal (rsync for example). I tried "Simple" at first of course but I only got static. Then I noticed that arecord returned a bit of tex...

I have looked through v901, ibiblio, gslapt, sfs manager and searched the forum with no success. A more complex program that could be configured would be fine if I could figure out how to do it. I apologize if there is an obvious solution that I have missed. My notebook is an elderly ThinkPad and it...

I have searched the forum. I read the recent thread about the Chromebook but I have minmal technical skills and also I am looking for a tablet I can give to a middle school student who uses FD64 at home on an Intel based machine. So, a tablet that is light and sized to slip into a school backpack so...

Here's the news... I am writing from FD64-813 via WiFi link. These two are the only changes in config. Happily, despite the Seamonkey admonition that "update" from Seamonkey v2.49.5 is not supported an update attempt succeeded and Seamonkey is now at v2.53.14! Again, the only changes from ...

williwaw perhaps the problem is on the seamonkey side and your error message is inaccurate? some of the blog posts here indicate a few different issues with updating Indeed, I followed your link, which is a blog of public notices regarding Seamonkey problems and the very top entry was this: So upda...

@tatemono It seems that you failed to tether Android phone to your PC. Thank you for your interest, but perhaps my initial post was not clear. There is no general failure to connect. All works well, as expected until an attempt is made to "Update" Seamonkey. I did go to examine your link a...

Thanks to BarryK for suggesting Firefox. It looked and ran nicely until I tried the "Update" and it failed in exactly the same manner. I don't know if this points to the root problem, but the usual indication of the network tool that is in the system tray when an online connection is activ...

Greetings! Presently, my only web access is via USB tether to a phone. It has worked well for me until now. The "Fatdog64 Control Menu/Updates/Update Seamonkey" fails with "No connection to internet. Leaving now". Seamonkey v. 2.49.5 is refused by business sites and even Google ...

@Gychang: Hello Gychang, thanks for the file. I did download it but it was a ".pet" and those do not work for FD64. There is a script to convert to a usable form but when I ran it the result would not install. I appreciate your interest. @All: Of the other posts I thought that the "un...

Some financial sites do not work with Seamonkey and I dislike using Chrome (which will work). I read elsewhere that Brave Browser is recommended for better security and privacy. I searched the Forum and the post by rufwoof "Fatdog unshare xephyr capsh container" is all that I turned up. Th...

My thanks to all the respondents. Although there was a difference in "first languages" the "Tell me what you see on your screen now" method got it done. Online school starts again in just a few weeks and it is a "go". Those who mentioned that Teams requires an account t...

Greetings! I support a young high school student in a 3rd world country that upon the arrival of the COVID19 virus converted completely to school over the internet. Nevermind that many students did not have internet access at all much less the hardware necessary. The student has a very capable syste...

rufwoof About your conjecture regarding sufficient RAM vs Swap, I would mention that I bought a (now) old Thinkpad X230 with 16GB RAM. That may appear extravagant but I recall in the distant past paying $25MB for RAM. So I happily loaded RAM to the max. I removed the original HD upon arrival and ha...

As for suspend, I never suspend when using RAM layer, so I can't comment on that. As for USB flash drive longevity, nowadays, I think unless you're using the super duper cheap flash drive, you'd probably outgrow it before it gets damaged. Hello James, and a big "Thanks" to you and the tea...
