My installation of FreeTube Portable on Fossa 9.5 has suddenly gone haywire. It opens up ok, I type something in the search box, click on a video, then it just flashes hysterically and the video doesn't start playing.

Ever since I first installed it ages ago it's always been ok, never seen this ...

I see icons for Connman in /usr/share/connman_ui_gtk/icons

Maybe the icon on your system is the same color as the main system tray and therefore not visible?

where in the menu exactly could I resize save file?

In Puppy I use, this feature is located in:
Menu -> Utility -> Resize personal storage

Hi,

on the bottom left corner, where the mounted storage media icons are shown, they are too close to each other

How can we put bit more space among them?

Thank you!

Run a browser as spot with profile & cache not in ram but rather on static media.

You are usually root on puppy systems. It is therefore not necessary to confirm everything with a password.

When you start, for example, the browser as spot, you limit its permissions only to the /home/spot folder ...

A fully functional youtube without ads is a paid service, I think.

For ad-free playback, it is possible to use the Freetube app, for example.

However if it is a large compressed file gz, iso .img it doesn't show individual files and appears to freeze while the operation is going on in the background.

I always assumed this was normal behavior. An .iso file or similar is copied as just one single item. These files (like .iso) tend to be ...

I thought this method, and I tried it, but the problem is that I use portable versions, so I must start the launch file.... buuuuuahhh.. complex and difficult for me.

Sorry, I don't currently use portable browsers. But I tried some portable browser from Mike Walsh earlier.

If I remember ...

Hello every body:

I'm working with VanilladPup and I want to add links to the bottom tray.

How can I do this?

It will be marvellous if you can explain me how to open them with a specific browser (my default one is SLIMJET, but I wanna open this links with OPERA)

I tried doing this with Chrome ...

So recently i trying to install steam with vanilladpup 10 x86_64. Thats because steam isnt supporting win 7. But does anyone get steam running with this puppylinux? How?.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Just my opinion.

Palemoon has always seemed more cumbersome to me than e.g. Firefox (in Bionicpup64, Fossapup64 and sometimes in Fatdog), including playing videos on YT.
So I think what dimkr says explains some things.
Back then I used Palemoon more for lighter things like reading the forum ...

Just a quick question: can I update my current install with apt upgrade or do I have to...y'know...download the iso and use FrugalPup to install anything new?

With apt update && apt upgrade you will only update the packages you installed with apt. Nothing more.

Updating the instalation itself ...

And while I'm at it... how do I turn on num lock automatically at startup?

You need to install "numlockx" program. Use apt via terminal or install via synaptic installer.

To start automatically at startup, create a new .desktop file (for numlockx) in the ~/.config/autostart folder. With ...

If I run Grub4Dos it does not recognizes bootable partition (not sure if expected since using gpt partition).

I'm not an expert on these things. But as far as I know, Grub4dos doesn't support UEFI boot.

Can AppImage applications also be inserted into the Applet Panel?

I think you first need to create a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications for that AppImage.

You can use the .desktop file from another similar application (duplicate and rename to name_of_the_AppImage.desktop).
Then open it ...

I cannot understand the last four lines of this output. Why have four packages been held back?

apt functionality built into the latest puppies (via woof-ce) had to be adapted to puppy.

apt update && apt upgrade will only update programs installed by the user using apt. So not the whole system ...

Thanks to everyone who voted in this poll.

I created it partly out of curiosity to see what percentage of users prefer pupmode 12 and how security (malware) compares to pupmode 13 and 5.

In the long run I prefer convenience, ie pupmode 13 without periodic saving.
But I will admit that I believed ...

Feek

Bump. So far there have only been 29 votes . Your vote matters.

Maybe there is someone who would like to participate in this poll but doesn't know what pupmode is or how to find it.

Each booted Puppy runs in a specific pupmode. No need to know the details.

You can simply go to Menu -> System ...

If you use multiple modes, try to select the one you use the most.
You can add why you prefer that mode.

BW64-10 on USBhd fails to load save file/folder on reboot

Just a few thoughts:

It seems that the save on your sdb2 was not created properly. I would look inside this save if there is what was expected to be there.

On reboot there are 2 offers of save:
1. sdb2 sdb2 -> looks weird (it doesn´t ...

If you mean putting the executable on the system tray (on the right), this script from musher0 works for me (I'm using debian puppies):

I'll modify it as needed and place it in the /root/startup folder ...

What's this software?

This app is called conky.
As you can see, it monitors the system and provides its output (configurable) on the desktop.
Of course you can disable it if you don't like it.

Latest Fatdog64 (v. 813).
Its .iso has slightly over 500 Mb.
I didn't try specifically with a CD but it works for me with DVD+RW, including multisession support (on win7 laptop).

wiak, thanks for the very useful information.

bigpup, if anyone wants to know in a real situation what zram swap is and how it works, just run vanilladpup on a system with less ram (e.g 4gb).
Zram swap is preset.
Then just run more heavy applications (multi-window browser, play youtube, ..) and ...

However I would like to backup my system first.
Is it sufficient to just backup the save file or is it wise to backup all the .sfs file (adrv_fossapup64_9.5 etc)?

No need to backup adrv or other sfs's. They are read-only and can be copied from the ISO at any time if needed. The ISO can be ...

@Feek In this particular case, start with a fresh save if you want to do things safely (mentioned in changelog, make sure you read it before the next time you update)

Thank you for your answer.
I read the channel log regularly, but in this case I couldn't imagine exactly what this change would ...
