Yes, thankfully.

What a drag it is - getting old!

I was looking at the save file space remaining but not the partition space. Checking, just now, the partition is full.

Duh!

Yes. After deleting a raft of emails and compacting I still get the same message.

The mail folder is /mnt/home/mail which contains two folders so should be no issue with space.

@ozsouth
@mikeslr Thank you all for your input.

To explain a bit further we will be passive viewers - no camera, microphone.

I have FossaPup (frugal install - not sure as I type this which version) so will download and install to it.

I really need to installl Zoom - MIL's funeral

I am using a frugal install of BionicPup64, specifically installed Firefox 119 and tried on numerous occasions to download your Zoom portable without success.

Simple question: What do I need to do to install Zoom successfully?

Thank you all for your input. However chasing a seemingly never ending list of libs I have given up.

I will mark this thread "Abandoned".

@Chelsea80

Thanks for the link but I already have the 32 bit versions - I am after the 64 bit that will produce a game that looks like the Freecell in amethyst's screenshot.

@mikewalsh

Looking at your animated desktop I noticed that your Google Maps earth is spinning the wrong way - parallel universe perhaps to preserve equilibrium.

Can you view a YouTube video?????

Yes. No issues.

I know this does not solve your 'internal' problem, but it could be a workaround.

You could then use VLC's video capture / stream facility.

I assume click Media>Open Network Stream...>enter the site URL>Play

If that is the case then no joy.

@ bigpup

My machine is a Dell Optiplex 9020 SFF.

Hardfinfo reports:

CPU i5-4570S, RAM 8GB and graphics, I assume is integrated.

I have renamed my hosts file and tested, turned off firewall and tested, both the former and tested - still no joy.

Hair is getting thin!

@Mercedes350se :-

Firefox-portable just updated to latest version.
Mike.

A direct link please so I can try it.

I have BionicPup64, FossaPup64 frugal installs so it is easy to do multiple tests.

I then use Chromium in these cases and it works (even with the older version 90 I have).

I would expect that the site would be Chrome optimised. I have tried everything I can think of but no joy.

@ bigpup

Thank you for your thoughts regarding 32 v 64 bit OS.

I have both types on the machine and also a Debian install. Various Firefox, Pale Moon versions. ( and a very late edit seamonkey as well)

Unfortunately no cigar.

'zilla browsers are as slow as cold molasses - palemoon seems normal.

Which version of Palemoon please? (And 32bit or 64bit?) Cheers!

Version 31.1.0 64 bit

BUT this morning it is exactly the same - slow as cold molasses.

The original publishers of web-browsers do so for the 'Major-distros'. And when they publish an up-grade, they do so with computers having the latest hardware in mind. Puppy 'Devs' have to rebuild those to work with Puppys.

Answers it all I think.

'zilla browsers are as slow as cold molasses - palemoon seems normal.

OK. seamonkey devs I gave up!

installed firefox 102.0 and no more random sluggishness, no more random freezes, no more random crashes and ..... it opens the pages i want.

Peace and harmony returns to my world.
