Thanks Mike! What I'm after is for my music player to play a random track from a specified folder. I would happily attach the script to a keyboard shortcut that I launch at the same time I launch Retropie. In my mind, the trigger for fade out would be when Retroarch process start. If it helps, I saw...

Hi everyone, I'm after a particular script to run in both Puppy and Linux Mint. Quick bit of explanation: Emulation Station is software that runs inside Retropie. It launches video game emulators from separate software called Retroarch. What I am after is a service to play music from a particular di...

Hello, is there any way to make the jwm dock and tray semi-transparent with Picom? I tried the lines opacity-rule = ["93:class_g = '_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DOCK'"]; and opacity-rule = ["93:class_g = 'jwm'"]; But no joy. I realize this is probably the wrong line but I don't know how ...

Have you tried ublockorigin? It works even on Palemoon Wouldn't install on my 32-bit Palemoon version. Are you using the Palemoon version? It used to work for me on my old 32 bit laptop. You have to select add ons from the tool section of the menu to go to the PM specific add on section, it's under...

Thanks for the responses from everyone. I'm starting to think I'll just have to live with it since there seems to be no way around it. AFAICT the the drive is still assigned the name eth0 at each boot. That said, one long-shot solution I'm looking in to is assigning a different, cloned MAC address t...

So I couldn't simply disconnect from the network as right-clicking on the network icon doesn't work for me (I've had this problem with Puppy before on other system so I'm sure this is just bad luck). Therefore I opened ICW and Frisbee, without actually changing or selecting anything, causing Puppy t...

Do you have a specific boot loader that gives you a list of what OS to choose to boot? I boot multiple Puppy versions installed on a hard drive. I have a boot loader with entries to boot each one. If I am running a specific Puppy version. Choose reboot. This Puppy version does a complete normal shu...

Hi fellow Puppy peeps, I'm running Fossa Puppy on a frugal install alongside Windows 10 and Linux Mint on a 64 bit desktop PC. I also often boot Batocera Linux or a puppy variant from USB. Safe boot is disabled on my machine and legacy boot is enabled. TLDR: Any live Linux booting into another Linux...

Well, found one that gives me *something*, at least. I'm now getting sound from Discord, but not from Pale Moon or Firefox. And the sound is quiet and I can't adjust it. Sound still shows at 65295%. So, minor improvement so far. Edit/update: I'm also getting sound from the one game I downloaded to ...

Thanks again Phil. I didn't do the quickpup install of the nvidia driver earlier as the two options didn't seem to match my Geforce GTX 1050ti series, they seemed to be for two different series, but after you suggested it I tried and it works perfectly. Is there a chance other users would be under t...

hi @redandwhitestripes i run fossapup on a 4k monitor and there's a few things to do to make things more readable. 1. menu>>desktop>>jwmdesk>>screen font ...... mine is set to 144 2. also in jwmdesk on the menu tab set to 32 3. jwmdesk again on the window tab set titlebar to 45 4. and jwmdesk tray ...

I don't know if it will work for you but every time I boot a new Puppy, the SCW wizard gives me several HDMI sound options. I play around with each one, select each one and always check every box in the configuration list that automatically pops up, then play a test sound. Eventually one of the opti...

redandwhitestripes

Thanks for the replies. I'm using an Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050ti card. My TV has settings but the 4k resolution was simply too small, apps like rox just aren't designed to deal with it, as far as I can tell. In the end I did indeed open the first run wizard again and played with resolutions until I se...

Hi guys, I'm embarrassed posting this in the beginners section after using Puppy for about ten years but I deserve the shame. I'm running Fossapup 64, frugal install from a USB at boot, with my desktop connected to an LCD 4K TV I just purchased. The problem, as you may have guessed from the title, i...

redandwhitestripes

So I may have discovered the root of the problem, after experiencing the same issue with Linux Mint. It seems that when dual booting with Windows and Linux, Windows can alter settings on the ethernet driver that Linux cannot reset. This happens when rebooting into Linux rather than starting from a f...

redandwhitestripes

Excellent information, many thanks.

redandwhitestripes

Got retropie working but the presentation is so much better when it's inside emulation station. That app seems to have a lot of dependencies and whatnot so I'll just stick to Batocera. Clarity is there any way to know ahead of time which isos are likely to boot from the script? I've tested Bionicpup...

redandwhitestripes

This is great, thanks to all not only for the help but also for educating me.

MAME is built in to retroarch so now I have a project to work on: get Retropie working inside puppy.

redandwhitestripes

EDIT: After wasting two hours on USB sticks that I should have remembered also failed me when trying to install Puppy, I finally had the sense to use a more reliable flash drive and voila! All is working well! I have extended the partition and dropped Batocera Linux in to the right folder but for wh...

redandwhitestripes

Interesting. I have Windows 10 and Linux Mint on my HD, I am going to try and drop Fossapup and Batocera ISOs onto the stick and see what happens. I will also need to figure out how to point Batocera to my game roms as I don't want to copy all of them onto the stick. Will report back.

redandwhitestripes

Clarity and thinkpadfreak, thank you for the replies and I will try both approaches. I've also just discovered the incredible batocera linux, so I have a lot to explore

redandwhitestripes

I'm somewhere in this ballpark but I don't quite understand what I'm doing. I was unable to install Fossa to Grub from inside Fossa itself as it said the drive was ntfs and could not be used. I can't format the drive as it's running Windows 10 which I need for work. However I managed to install Linu...

redandwhitestripes

You may think, asking if that info is from Fossapup, is a dumb question. But you talk about other Puppy versions, that work, and you do not specifically say the info is from what. How do we know it is not from one that works? I have had issues like this, where the info provided by the bad OS, is li...

redandwhitestripes

please post vendor and device ID of your network interface chip Windows 10 says "Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller #4" Here is the output from SNS Is this info being provided by Fossapup64 9.5 or from one of the other Puppy versions that is working? From Fossa :-( @redandwhitestripes - I...

Hi there, running from a USB stick on a desktop PC.I have an ethernet connection that is working fine on windows 10 and on Bionicpup also running from a USB stick boot. None of the network wizards work. Running the advanced wizard with auto DHCP shows a successful connection but no page will load. T...

redandwhitestripes

Thank you to everyone who took the time to reply. After much trial and error, I have discovered that BOTH of the new USB sticks I purchased (both Kingston, 8gb) were to blame. Swapping in an older USB stick got things up and running. Thanks to the comments here I learned a lot about BIOS and how to ...

redandwhitestripes

SOLVED)Hi all, loving the new forums, I have acquired a pre-owned machine with an ASUS BIOS and Windows 10 pro. Unfortunately it appears to be the first machine that has defeated EVERY attempt to getting puppy running. I have tried both the fosapup64 and Bionicpup64_UEFI isos, installed via the Rufu...
