Zen browser is a derivative of Firefox with a very different look&feel
I downloaded it, and it is working well.
How do I remove the vertical "bars"? I know that shows the tabs but it's taking up about 20% of my screen. Also I'm having a little trouble customizing the tool bar. Some of the buttons ...

This is so great.

I like this because with the original Pcur - cursor selector, there are so many options, but the Pcur - cursor selector program's selection of cursors were created when the screen footprints were mostly 1280x720 and the very largest screens coming out were 1600x900, but now with ...

I tried the 'retro' and it's kind of crippled. It runs but there are almost no utilities and programs pre-installed. No browser for example. It is not for a typical end-user.

Also ran the strict 'iso' version and also the 'wayland' version, both seemed very similar, I wasn't really able to see the ...

I appear to have it working. I even made a few minor edits to it. It is working great.

They are supposed and expected to add colons, and that's what they do. What exactly is the "issue"? Compatibility with certain file systems?
Maybe the shortcuts would be able to produce a dash or an underscore instead of a colon, so the possible incompatibility would be minimized or even ...

MrDuckGuy

So the issue with the file naming shortcuts is with three of the shortcuts that will add colon symbols to the filename. They are supposed and expected to add colons, and that's what they do. What exactly is the "issue"? Compatibility with certain file systems?
Colons are incompatible in filenames ...

@MrDuckGuy Just update script

Just saw this. It looks like there are still colons in the file names. It is pretty clear in the screen shot, you still are getting the colons in the filenames.

MrDuckGuy

I tried it. Thanks for the update. I don't know if this is complete at this point. Here is the output from your new prototype. The blue highlight is my original filename code with the shortcuts that I have been using; the yellow highlight is showing the output from the three shortcuts that insert ...

I am just trying out Vanilla DPup for the first time.

Since I am an old-time TAS (Take A Shot screenshot utility) user, this is usually one of the first things I install in an OS if that is not already included. I like it because of the options and the file naming shortcuts which allow the user to ...

MrDuckGuy

So the issue with the file naming shortcuts is with three of the shortcuts that will add colon symbols to the filename. There was a similar issue with the shortcuts which added slashes to the filename when the user used the dating shortcuts that was fixed back in the earlier update 1.14, after I ...

Aren't these three separate versions of the operating system? If so, why are there different ISOs, three of them, and what are the differences?
I am preparing to download and try one or more of these, but which ones and why ...

MrDuckGuy

Hello,
I have FossaPup64 CE (the F96 version). The PPM included a version of the 'anbox' program and I loaded it but it did not run. The splash screen loads but then freezes and then shuts down.

I think you can solve this pretty easily. If you have the ISO file, you should be able to mount it in any "live CD" version of Puppy Linux. If you can create a folder in your hard drive, and name it 'FossaPup64', then click on the folder with the ISO file, it should mount and you should be able to ...

MrDuckGuy

This is not a "puppy" but some of us are fooling around with 'TinyCore' OS. It is really small. Also you can run Vivaldi browser on it, and also I believe Firefox. You can even run 'ROX' file manager (which is the same file manager as most Puppys use). There is a series of YouTube videos with step ...

I have a BTC5126 keyboard. When I try to change the setting in the configuration screen, nothing happens. It just stays with the 'pc102 Generic' even after having done it over and over several times. What am I doing wrong?

I remember the first few times the forum told me that I needed to run this, it took more than a week to get it to work.

I kept on typing it in, over and over again.
I was typing "ID" config, instead of "LD" config!

MrDuckGuy

When a user installs the 32-bit compatibility utility, after installing, should the user open a terminal window and run the 'ldconfig' command, otherwise the 32-bit compatibility won't be implemented, even if it's installed?

The main reason why the version found on the PPM is failing is because it was compiled on ubuntu, which has systemd. Puppy uses its own different manager. ... Should also be easy to find out and remove somewhere in the code, before compiling, the root check lines, so it can be run without root ...

I think I did try that. Here's the output (in screenshot). It returns an output saying it must be run as root, while the main utility does the opposite - it refuses to run as root:
