I would say yes run those lines and check /etc/profile and adjust the PATH to add the location of the ActiveState python you're working with to the environment variable

@8Geee

Will be thinking of you and your mom and I'm crossing my fingers. Hang in there.

Being able to load and unload SFS packages on the fly is totally convenient. There are several methods to achieve the same goal. One would be to follow the method you have described, and create a directory that you assemble the package components in the correct directory and file structure and ...

I use a lot of PERL and these components are also in the Devx. I tend to then install cpanminus either from the PPM, Pkg or : Screenshot(19).png to add PERL modules. If using the ActiveState Python I install modules with pip instead of the PPM otherwise there ends up a spagetti of not version ...

I think the Devx supplies components for Python 2.7. I've been using ActiveState's Python 3.8 in Fossa. I just have less problems so the it's worth the slightly more overhead.

The Devx should have enough Python 2.7 to get started.

WeeDog uses Overlayfs to be able to have a broader range of kernel choices and that it is incorporated into the present Linux kernels by default. I have a puppy upupBB-18.05+8-OL that is a Puppy Bionic32 but set to use Overlayfs instead of AUFS. It comes from an upupBB-18.05+7-OL that I added the ...

yes, connect via ethernet port. Best way to manage the router.

I only have really outdated versions packaged up as a complete system with Zoneminder. I should make a newer version. I'll check whether to use Bionic or Fossa.

you need to install python-pip as well! Then it's:

Code: Select all

pip install <some_module>

and if equipped with both python 2.7 and python 3 it might be:

Code: Select all

pip3 install <some_module>

might need to sort out some symlinks as well

I've run as root since 1974. Still here. Never hacked. Never exploited. Been on the "Net" since it was ARPANET. I've put myself and my machines out there now since my ALTAIR 680B was connected to a PDP-11/70 and I "explored" a major bank's systems in 1976. Still waiting for the NSA,KGB,CIA,FBI, BKA ...

what are you dual booting with?

Hello !!

first off what are you attempting to do? Why are you installing libguestsf-tools?

Hello! the pmcputemp error means that the pmcputemp package will not start because of machines hardware lacks the sensor...most likely, but this should not interfere with Bionic32 from starting and running as expected. So let's get to the bottom of this.....how did you boot Bionic32 ? How is it set ...

We need to look into the 'plogin' error and I am thinking this is part of the autologin process.

can someone explain to me why Micro$$$$ finds the need to have continuous updates of their software that breaks completely the previous version. I would not mind a couple of updates here and there to add new features or improve performance substantially, but this is just disturbing. I have a web ...

mikewalsh Thanks for the PET! I still rely on Skype to communicate with my family spread across Europe and the United States. I am involved in some projects that distracted me from continuously updating Skype AND overcoming each update's new challenges getting Skype to start. I went to the repo ...

you can install the mysql server from the PPM, but you will need to do some steps manually to configure and start it. Or run this script: #!/bin/sh # # create the user for the mysql server adduser mysql -D # install the mysql server and intialize it pkg add mariadb mariadb-server # create run time ...

Might be the best bet to install Apache2, mariaDB (mysql) and PHP7 directly. This will be more like a setup one would encounter commercially.

here is what you're not seeing:

To run Firefox (or other) with sound as user 'spot'.

This will work:

Code: Select all

root# run-as-spot apulse firefox

So this script should as well:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
run-as-spot apulse firefox

this will work:

Code: Select all

root# run-as-spot apulse firefox

So this script should as well:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
run-as-spot apulse firefox

That sounds like an interesting project. I think the first step is to document (or link to a doc about) how void XBPS stores the metadata for the packages. This information would be helpful for others that aren't familiar with void XBPS. Of course! Here are some documents that detail XBPS https ...

Strange! I feel like a setting was changed more than the card is bricked. I've never experienced a Live OS destroying a graphics card. Although I know some settings can damage a monitor. Re-booting into OSx and the same screen problems remain. What is the usual resolution of the display? Do you have ...

Yes it is! Works fine on BIOS equipped machines. The ISO you pulled is equipped to start on UEFI machines AND also will boot normally on legacy BIOS computers.

...how to boot both uuid style for frugal install or using LABEL with your iso. Interesting is I used GParted and gave a label to the partition the WDL32 is residing on. Works well and is also the way to go for a bootable ISO, USB or CDROM/DVD. I find the best way to set up a USB stick is using ...

I do have a DELL laptop that runs Windows 10 as a dual boot option with an entire range of Puppy Linux variants to choose from, that uses MBR and Grub4Dos. Started out from the factory as a Windows 7 machine which happens to run Puppy's and Dog's really well.

@Dingo

Have you worked with the Ermine Free version? I have been doing packaging manually and now I am developing a 32 bit OS (WeeDog32-Void) and I'm looking for package construction methods and tools.

Exodus looks very interesting!

I am working on creating a Puppy Linux that uses the XBPS package manager that is used in Void Linux. It is a standalone package manager and so far I am attempting to compile xbps in a Bionic64. The final goal is to have a hybrid OS capable of using PPM, Pkg and XBPS on the same system. Making this ...

I live half in North America and half in Germany....and well aquainted with PAL and NTSC (in my biz we call it "Never The Same Color") PAL and NTSC are different how they scan the horizontal and create colors. Look at an old NTSC TV, there are all kinds of knobs to tune screen colors and on a PAL TV ...
