When tethered, " ip link " shows an interface, correct?

Btw, i did try the link you posted, but this would *only* work if i was using "normal" tethering on android (which i can't, as i mentioned in my post, because of the rom I'm stuck with) where you usually just go into setting of the phone ...

When tethered, " ip link " shows an interface, correct?

Sadly it doesn't :/ Only the usual ones: lo (which is what my previously mentioned setup is actually using), wlan0 and eth0.

I'm guessing trying to route/bridge the traffic between an unused network device (maybe like eth0?) with lo might ...

So, i recently started to use my android device's (tablet) internet connection by using a special tethered setup (which I'll detail below), given my built-in antenna (in this computer) isn't the best, and i didn't want to:

- widen range on my modem (doesn't support that)
- buy an external one ...

So i was wondering, since i already know how to repack/remaster certain distros (namely puppy, and some ubuntu flavored ones), how could i repack one of the main SFSs (found on one of the partition after flashing/while puppy is running) and replace it with an updated version (say if i add a startup ...

@wanthinker :-

You want an honest opinion..?

In the case of mainstream distros, running on powerful modern machines with buckets of RAM, encryption is fine.....if ya really WANT all that extra complication. In the case of Puppy, it's honestly more trouble than it's worth.....and on elderly ...

I'm curious to know if the swap is encrypted or not, given i use it a lot on low ram machine...

Tried different commands on this post, seems they don't show any sign of the swap being encrypted...(on my end)

Essentially, i just want to make sure

Any thoughts or suggestion is appreciated.

The following steps are used when associating with an AP using WPA:

wpa_supplicant requests the kernel driver to scan neighboring BSSes
wpa_supplicant selects a BSS based on its configuration

hi 666philb and everyone

i would like to try to make a more minimal modular form of fossapup64 from woof-ce

that is get woof-ce to build just

1. an iso with only the initrd and an empty main.sfs file
2. an iso with iso 1 + a main sfs file that only contains basic x jwm and an xterm ...

Just want to say thanks for the suggestions here.

It's going to take me a while to work out which is most suitable for my needs but i really appreciate the suggestions.

I am hopeful that the developers do not disable tap-to-click as our future in upcoming years will be more in a touch-system ...

@rcrsn51 Good news, we will be keeping the J.Murga forum operational.

Murga forum set to read only and as an archive would be the best bet.
YES!!!

This new forum, is much better organized, and does not have all the old outdated stuff, in it.

There are a lot of good ...

This is the weirdest thing i seen.

Essentially, I'm used to turn off internet completely (without relying on graphical tool given they can still reconnect sometimes or because i don't want them using ram for nothing) by doing:

killall -9 wpa_supplicant dhcpcd

This works great, and i can always ...

As well as marking first post as Solved, it is also helpful f the OP includes how the issue was solved for others who may experience the same issue.

What would be the best way to do that? just editing the first message to include the way i solved it?

Please, if your question was answered or your problem solved, do put (Solved) (at the end of the subject line; putting it at the beginning makes it a bit harder for others to scan through the forum for a problem that might be similar to theirs.)

Just to be clear, is it the login password on the remote host that you are being asked for or the password to the private key store on your local machine? I'm guessing in the former case then it likely has to do with the configuration settings of the remote host (ssh server) and in the latter case ...

I mainly notice this because some files i have got japanese characters in their filenames.

I have made a Japanized version of fossapup64. Its default Japanese font is M+1P+IPAG.

do you use default configuration with sakura? No. Changed bg/fg colors and most importantly changed font. The default is font=terminus 12 which -as I have no terminus font - seems to render characters in Sans. I changed it to font=Monospace 12 . My Japanese font is M+1P+IPAG, however none of the ...

Now, I'm not sure if this is specifically related to the current puppy I'm using (fossapup 9.5) but it seems that, when setting up ssh-agent and adding the password of a target private key, ssh *still* ask for that same password, as if ssh-agent wasn't running (which it is...).
