I have used 6.1 for awhile now on some of my non-puppy systems. I haven't had any trouble, it seems to be a fine kernel to me.

Hi! Thank you for working on voidpup, it is one of my favorite pups to use right now. I downloaded a current VoidPup32 a couple days ago and I am trying it out on an old 32-bit netbook right now. It runs very well! But I did have one problem: there were no CA certificates installed, so things like v...

i have over the months put some thought into the matter and have already gotten my feet wet with the code some what. but i have also been starting a new job, and that will be occupying much of my thoughtspace for the near future. still, if i have the place for it, i would like to fix it, at least wh...

one big reason i like ppm is its so much easier to make pet files than deb files or whatever other files. maybe pet files are not needed and we can just use targz files that extract over /. since that is mainly what pet files are anyway. but i like that it is very easy to one-click a pet file and in...

Curious Is this a replacement for PUP's current INIT or is this an implementation which follows INIT subsequent to boot? runit has init and service management split up so that you can have either one without the other. So in theory one COULD replace current INIT with runit. and I think maybe that i...

artemis

So the way it works is basically you run runsvdir on a service directory, and then runsvdir will use runsv on each of the folders inside that. the sv command is used for stop/start/restarting like "sv stop <name>" "sv restart <name>" etc. You can see this page for how it's recomm...

There is apparently a thing called xdg-desktop-portal. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal offers a way for Flatpak applications to integrate with the desktop. It can allow applications to open URL's, share your screen and more. Depending on the implementation for ...

artemis

thanks! that'll do just fine for me right now. i use other qt5 stuff anyway so its a price im already paying

artemis

VoidLinux uses runit for its init system and service manager. But something that is nice about runit is that you dont have to use it for both of those things! You can use it as just a service manager without any of the init system stuff. We could make VoidPup launch the service management part calle...

artemis

This latest version is working good for me so far. I really like how many apps come out of the box, something i also like about fossapup. I also appreciate how many themes come pre installed, "Dark_Blue" theme is my favorite so far. Thank you for this! Something I am wanting is a GUI versi...

artemis

Hey. Very nice pup! Installed the 64-bit version with LXDE and it works wonderfully. Only issue- the DEVX SFS (both versions currently out) can't be installed for some reason. "This sfs should not be loaded because it has the wrong file structure". Tried redownloading a few times but no d...

Tailscale is a service that handles connecting your computers together with a VPN protocol called wireguard. Basically you log in on your computers and tailscale figures out how they can talk to each other and establishes secure connections between them. If you ever used Hamachi before, it is sort o...

Good news, this has now been fixed for about a month! See https://github.com/void-linux/void-pack ... 6ddea9034d

So this custom version of mesa should not be necessary for newer voidpup32 builds

artemis

@dimkr you have some cool things you've done running jwm inside Xwayland in vanilla upup, im wondering how I could do the same thing on my fossapup install? If you're willing, would you share tips for where the changes you made are to make this work so I can copy your work and hack it into my install

This is a program I learned about just today that is a GUI for using git. https://www.syntevo.com/smartgit/ . It's free for non-commercial use, and has both light and dark modes. Here I have made both .pet and .sfs files of it, pick your favorite! Requirements: x86_64 processor GTK+ 3.20 or later Do...

i agree with SSD for compiling. compilers like to have fast fast random file access to lots of tiny little files, and that's just what an SSD is great at! spinning disks are ok with few big files, but slow down trying to read and write lots of small files randomly. ext4 is tried and true! don't both...

2) Your Athlon XP-M simply doesn't have new enough instruction sets to be able to run Telegram. Yours is only SSE -capable.....and Telegram, like most 'Electron'-based apps, requires at least SSE3 . telegram's desktop app is actually all native and based on qt, see https://github.com/telegramdeskto...

hello! i do not have a system to test on but if you can get https://github.com/vysheng/tg to build maybe it will be enough to do something you need. it is a basic client you can use from the terminal, not all the features of the real desktop client, but enough to talk to people if you have no other ...

i frequently use a 32bit-only system with 2 gigs of ram and personally i lean towards kernels with PAE turned off, but, my processor also works just fine with PAE turned on it just doesn't really do anything useful since so little RAM. (intel atom). i have not been able to find if there is a disadva...

Looks like OAUTH2 was added to thunderbird around version 38 so 78 should work just fine. it's been in there for years, before even buster was a thing. google has been using this login mechanism for a number of years now. First they added it as an alternative to normal user/password login. Then they...

Sylpheed no longer works with latest Gmail. sadly this is not something an update will fix. see https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255 google has broken gmail for any mail client that refuses to implement their OAUTH2. The only open source email client that does today is Thunderbird... ...

are ther any pups out right now with pipewire installed that the rest of us can use to experiment installing visualizer tools and configurators?

tonight I wanted to set up a torrent box i can leave on all day connected to a VPN and so I put raspup on a pi i had lying around. Barry's network tool worked flawlessly connect to WiFi, and the SFS downloader got me Chromium and PPM got me Transmission and OpenVPN. I made a torrents folder for Tran...

Just grabbed the lastest 8.2.2 snapshot from github actions to test it- I have had a couple problems with input on 8.2.2 that I have not had in fossapup64 or dpup. 1. I cannot do trackpoint scrolling. Usually, when I hold middle-click, I can use my thinkpad's trackpoint to scroll up/down/left/right....

Hey, I've just gave DPup 9.2.6 a try, nice minimal setup you've got here! I am wondering, what's a good way to do multi-monitor configuration? In fossapup64 the video wizard has a button for multi-monitor setup (shown below) but I don't see that in dpup's video wizard. grahpics wizrd.png multi monit...

https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2022-2068 basically the deal here is that if someone can get openssl's c_rehash script to look at a folder they control, they can make a file with a special name that will let them make openssl run an arbitrary command for them. so it runs as whatever user c_reh...

If your processor doesnt support AVX512 this doesn't affect you. I know mine doesn't! Win for sticking to old hardware. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVX-512#CPUs_with_AVX-512 , it is basically only AMD Zen 4 and intel cannon lake and newer basically there is a bug in the code that uses AVX512 i...

I'm curious which pups people prefer for running Windows games. I have had ok luck with lutris on fossapup64, but I have had trouble with some 32-bit games because the 32-bit compatibility sfs doesn't cover all the libraries needed by 32-bit wine. I am thinking I might install separate 32-bit and 64...

Wouldn't like to speculate as to how long this state of affairs will continue This has been the case for over a decade now so I would be very surprised if it changed. The sublime people seem to be content to just sell licenses to the people who want them, and ask people to buy a license for a major...

So if you're on a system without a working graphics driver, you fall back to software rendering. void linux's 32-bit mesa package doesn't have llvmpipe due to a packaging error (they forgot to turn a flag on for i686), so you're stuck with softpipe out of the box which is extremely slow. VoidPup64 i...
