@fredx181 That's a really cool observation....very useful

It took me a good while though to remember that I have to type b: , c: , d: etc.... to change drive. [ sure brings back memories :lol: ] I read the post earlier and it didn't dawn on me to mention that you'll need to use DOS commands to navigate too and start the update installer .exe Sorry about t...

@mouldy It is possible to fork a branch to your own repo on GitHub while this link is available.

@HerrAbisZ, I don't know much about Ventoy, but it sounds like you have it almost started.

What happens when the machine is rebooted and Ventoy restarted?

@Clarity knows a lot about booting Puppy Linux ISO's on Ventoy on USB drive. He will see this and help us.

@rockedge do you think it's possible to FirstRib tinycore? I do think so. Will have to look back but I think wiak might have tried out "Weedogging" Tinycore or mentioned something about it. This information might be possible to find in the oldforum or the old FIrstRib Forum Will need to l...

This has a syntax error,

Code: Select all

rox -p=Default

it should be:

Code: Select all

rox -p default &

I have also done this before, wiping out the pinboard. The original is always in the root file system SFS.

What were you doing when or before it happened?

The save folder directory is mounted and added as the top layer of the file system stack. It is treated like a read-write drive. Appimages are executed programs that are self contained. They are packaged along with all the needed components needed to run. From Wiki: AppImage (formerly known as klik ...

@treestump my eyes are not as sharp as they used to be either....laptop screens especially challenging in certain light

But I don't see much difference using the script

My cousin Felix comes from Niedersachsen and lives and works in Vienna (computer engineer) and my good friend Helmut aus Aachen also now lives in Vienna! Both like it very much. I worked in Film/TV in Deutschland (Hamburg) and had a chance to while making a German TV series (Mensch! Pia) to work for...

every puppy linux distro being hacked on my personal computer.

This I would like to know more about. Hacked how? Were SFS files altered or a root kit installed?

Ich konnen mit sie in Deutsch unterhalten, oder besser, screibe in Deutsch und wir antworten in Engish !

what is the pattern of the LED on the CAPS Lock key? I read that some have had this problem and removed the laptop battery, wait 10+ minutes, plug in the AC and turn on the laptop, which then started. Other reports were checking the RAM modules were seated correctly worked. Search engine results do ...

If you want to write a new 'fdrv trimmer' that's better than kernel-kit's one, I recommend testing on a >= Skylake laptop, especially with an AMD or NVIDIA GPU. The missing firmware is often SOF (audio) firmware that's required since Skylake AFAIK, WiFi firmware (>=802.11ac) or GPU firmware. Unfort...

@fbagnato You will need to load the kernel sources SFS for the kernel 5.15.148 you are running in S15Pup64!

This SFS supplies the kernel source that the driver will be compiled against.

I was able to run an experiment using the woof-CE build script called /woof-out_x86_64_x86_64_ubuntu_focal64/kernel-kit/firmware_picker.sh that has an optional extension script /woof-out_x86_64_x86_64_ubuntu_focal64/kernel-kit/firmware_extra.sh . Using the ../kernel-kit/build.conf file I designated ...

I have one of those called Asoka 9650 PlugLink. Two for around $20. Works well and convenient. One thing to consider is how the house is wired and if all the power outlets are on one loop or like in my house the breaker box breaks the loop into smaller ones. I use X10 devices on the same principle. ...

rolandradio I looked at the palemoon 64 bit version you mentioned. The menu entry the SFS brings when loaded is looking to start "palemoon" so the system will look at the $PATH directories to find it to execute it. So this should work: rm /usr/bin/palemoon ln -s /opt/palemoon/palemoon /us...

dimkr I did an experimental filtering of the Void Linux firmware packages using the kernel-kit firmware_picker.sh which reduced the overall size of 846 M as SFS to a 136 M fdrv SFS. I simply put the pieces that firmware_picker.sh is looking for in the correct locations but using the Void Linux firm...

While looking around I ran across a firmware package for a Linux kernel for drivers for automobile devices......

Goes to show what OS is running in the car's computers.

I am looking to integrate the Void Linux's kernels firmware collection into the kernels made for Kennel Linux variants and ultimatley be able to produce a fdrv SFS for use with usrmerge and non-usrmerge Puppy Linux systems. The different firmware groups (Intel, AMD for example) have separate package...

bigphil A simple example is one machine acts as FTP (pure-ftpd) server and the other the client (gftp) Start in Fossapup64 machine A the pure-ftpd server. If there is no pure-ftpd installed it is available here . If it is present already, look in Menu->Network or Menu->Internet for a menu entry to ...

Basic updating of webpage done.

Looks really good! Thanks @peebee for pushing the changes.

Available now is a Void Linux kernel 6.8.8_1 with the initrd.gz, vmlinuz and 00modules SFS ready to use in any KLV variant,

Should be able to swap in these components into KLV-Airedale, KLV-Spectr and KLV-Hyprland and use it.

Download -> voidlinux-6.8.8_1.tar.gz

jp734 What type of Puppy Linux or other distro are you using? What have you turned on or tried? Have you checked Menu->Network->Samba Simple Management and configured the SAMBA shares and if the server is active? The username and password need to be set for the samba server. in a terminal: smbpassw...

Marv LocalSend is working well on my tests between iPad iOS, Android CoolPad phone, Optiplex 990 KLV-AiredaIe, Dell PowerEdge R210 II rack server using F96-CE_4. Tried it from a terminal which started the application but shows only # localsend_app (localsend_app:32109): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 12:15:33.12...

Wow. This is a beginning of a slide down a slippery slope. The idea is not really realistic in implementation and is one of the most invasive police state concepts I've heard or read about in about a day or two. The stuff keeps piling up.....like being on the bridge of a very large ship going at cru...

Tested with F96-CE_4 I downloaded the tarball from here -> https://github.com/Floorp-Projects/Floorp/releases/tag/v11.12.2 extracted and placed the Floorp directory in /opt . Opened up with Rox and clicked on the floorp binary and it RUNS !!! Looks good. I could make an SFS out of it but it is certa...

Just hang loose....

BTW:- Anybody figured out yet what's with the funny name in big letters (and the number underneath it)? Both seem to change from Puppy to Puppy.. Yes! The name is what that system shows up as to another LocalSend machine on the network. So it effect the system name on the local area network. The nu...
