Re: 32-bit Xenialpup 7.5 says it's connected to Internet but it's not. Must reboot.

An update: after visiting 2 websites with no observable problems for about 1 hr, problem observed: no http, no numerical ping to local-net gateway 192.168.86.1 or anywhere else, BUT established (encrypted) SSH connection continued to work for > 20 minutes (when I rebooted).

Re: 32-bit Xenialpup 7.5 says it's connected to Internet but it's not. Must reboot.

The Linux machine does not know about any WiFi signal; as far as I know, the Windows machine does not see any loss in connectivity. I have been unable to find detailed information about how Win10 "network bridge" works exactly, just lots of cook-book instructions. Is there a local IP address ...

Re: 32-bit Xenialpup 7.5 says it's connected to Internet but it's not. Must reboot.

not serving up DHCP Sorry, I should have said "DHCP is not supported" because Microsoft says so. The reason for the bridge is because of something that changed a few years ago with Google or various websites in how they cause the Google Mesh to cache some things; when connecting directly from ...

32-bit Xenialpup 7.5 says it's connected to Internet but it's not. Must reboot.

Xenialpup 7.5 (32bit with Kernel 4.4.95) Sometimes my internet connection goes away (http, SSH, and ping all time out, even to numerical addresses both internet and local) but "Network Information" and the ip a command shows the same info as when it was working and the task bar still show the ...

Re: Linux Folder Structures

Thanks to Chelsea80 for that pdf which was very useful. I am still ingesting the info from Mikeslr. What app produced that two-pane window Structure1.jpg? I looked at ROX-filer info but didn't see a 'view' option. And how does one spot a Symbolic link? Desktop items, which are obviously links, when ...

Re: Linux Folder Structures

Thanks for providing the Puppy-specific info. But does anyone know of a more verbose description of what is supposed to be in those Puppy directories, or at least for other main Linux distros? For instance, the file "bootinit.log" that is written to the active filesystem contains a line "Using /mnt ...

Re: 'Portable' Edge for Linux...new release : v99.0.1150.46

I was told by support staff at a site that didn't like my PaleMoon that MS had a 32-bit-for-Linux Edge. I presume your "portable64" build will not work on 32-bit Xenialpup7.5, but I don't see 32bit at microsoft either. Know where to get something that will run on Xenialpup?

Re: "Hacking" games in Fossapup on the example of iQPuzzle

We can see it in the built-in hex editor. Built into what? "GameConqueror" which you were discussing, or Fossapup? By hex editor, I mean a program which will open any file, not just text files, and that hopefully has a read-only mode that will not change the file. In a previous Puppy, it either had ...

Re: How to upload a file using the SCP command?

Please post exactly what command or total script that you are using. From a console window, scp -P 22 [user]@[remotedomain]: [remotepathandfilename] [localpathanddirectory] gives a request for Password; after that is typed, it give an error message: scp: .:not a regular file cp: cannot stat ...

Re: How to upload a file using the SCP command?

The download worked fine. And when it didn't (due to incorrect arguments) it would say it had a problem, like "scp: .: not a regular file cp: cannot stat '/big....".
If ">" is the console-stream, what is the end-of-file character to use?

Re: How to upload a file using the SCP command?

This is the scp in Xenial 7.5 (?) (menu doesn't give exact version). The SSH GUI works good, authentication agent forwarding, no options needed. And scp worked before. The "prompt" doesn't seem to be for any parameter- tried the password first thing, you can go for many lines and same thing. Thought ...

How to upload a file using the SCP command?

I've used the scp (secure copy) command from a console window a few times, to download files from a remote Linux system. It would ask for the password for the remote system as it is supposed to. But when I tried to upload a file, the command responds with a ">" prompt and echoes anything typed; a CR ...
