Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I believe this should solve your problem: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1668939
What it does is keep grub2, places grub4dos and then creates a menu entry to boot grub4dos.

The file manager is what gives a display to list files and folders. Think of Windows 'File Explorer'. For Puppy-Linux there is a icon named 'file' that will open it up. It's actual name is ROX-Filer

Pardon me, but I'm not sure what you're trying to ask. Do you want puppylinux to work on any device? Or do you want to be able to change mac addresses or something?

It may be looking at a different file depending on the system booted off of. This will mean you might have to look at vesamenu... etc etc....

I wonder whether it would find it if you created your desired savefile by hand.

You go to the Useful tab, and select devx. It should provide a list of addresses to download from. Then use sfs-load and load in the devx if it doesn't load itself for you.

You can opt to symlink the profile outside the savefile. Preferably to /mnt/home if you want to keep portability (if its a usb and also to not have to mount the partition each time)

Can you show the file manager at where you installed it at?

You can't write /mnt/etc. It will interpret the partition as /. That means /mnt/sdf1 of that partition, not from the / that you would see (in ROX-Filer or terminal). Waiting on your reply to Clarity though, something is amiss since its not giving a partition choice.

Some puppies use pup_a but pup_ro2 is used by all puppies. It's merely a matter of consistency so its easier to figure where the squashfiles are mounted at.

I'm not precisely certain but you could manually modify the boot entries and copy it to a backup. That way when Mint updates you can recover it. You should preferably copy the syntax. If you don't know how to write it upload snippet of it and we can return you the snippet to paste in.

Same issue with su spot, apparently the kernel was the entire problem... reverting back to my last month build, without modules required by anbox fixed it.

Eh regarding 'live cd' mode even if you don't have a CD, as in drive, or disk it will still treat as if you're in live cd mode. Change the pmedia=cd to pmedia=atahd

You could use pfind and search through /usr and /opt for it. Most likely it is not on the PATH, which determines at runtime/invocation where to search for an executable/script.

So you have virtualbox already installed and it is working? Point the virtual disk file to be created on your USB then. At /mnt/home. Of course, you need enough space!

If you open a terminal and attempt executing a executable that is not cached, does it have an I/O error? Also try ctrl+alt+backspace, the terminal might have some kernel errors.

Yes, /bin/ash is linked to busybox. And the output is identical with ash --help.
I am trying to either get firefox or palemoon to execute under the user spot.

Yes I have. I have updated, I have a savefile, and no, run-as-spot does not work, as /bin/ash is being denied. On a further note kernels being used are not an issue, as my sister's puppy uses the same unoriginal kernel that I use.

This did not resolve su spot failing. As well run-as-spot fails too! This is very strange. (Please, I hope I don't have to use -R because that will write to my savefile with tons of stuff)

I believe the reason for 'tight' decompression algorithms is because of size. No one really wants to download a whole GB, and the point of puppy is to be lightweight.

Even with that the first command fails because /bin/sh is denied to spot. I'm honestly not certain what is wrong here as all the executable bits are set for the owner, group, and world...
