Hi @dimkr ,
Somehow I can't set resolution to the default 1920x1080. I have nvidia gt1030 card. I do not have this issue with other recent puppies though.
Do I need to install an nvidia driver? Thanks.

Hi wiak, rockedge,
Thanks for the reply. I would really want to try your suggestions but I have no idea how set the root password from a distro's mounted rootfs.

Hi wiak,
I tried diferrent distros (mint, linuxfx, elementary) and they successfully booted. However, I always get stuck on the login screen. The distro's default username and password does nothing.
How can I bypass the login screen like in Manjaro?

-Despite being small, it boots and shuts-down longer compared to other pups.

It might be some improvements in the future

I tried to re-compress all sfs files using zstd (from porteus tool) and got great results as far as booting time is concerned. It's because of faster zstd decompression ...

Just look for Qt SFS modules instead of installing Qt manually

Finally got my qt5 apps working. I found the resources here in case someone else needs them: https://sourceforge.net/projects/lxpup/ ... Qt5/Older/

Alright... downloading Beta6.

ronriel

Beta 5: I really like this pup. It's relatively small but there's much wealth of puppy utilities no longer found in other recent puppies. Thunar context menu is also well thought of for ease of use. There's plenty of useful utility.

Some gripes...

Nuked my puppy. My bad, I installed the pets without reading the other posts.

ronriel

but the name sounds like something available just by numbered layer arrangement in WDL. Of course if you load a puppy filesystem in higher layer than (say) 04fristrib_rootfs.sfs (i.e. main root filesystem being used) in WDL its contents will clobber the underlying WDL files when they collide in ...

ronriel

Hi wiak ,

I am wondering if it is possible to make a specific layer isolated or containerized.
Here's the thing. I want to be able to use puppy pre-installed apps from my fav distro but I don't have the pet files and I don't know how to create individual sfs out of those pre-installed apps, and ...

ronriel

Thanks for bringing up makulu. I tried it. I realized it's that its Debian based and therefore all my debian apps worked right of the bat.

My suggestion to other users once you're familiar with creating your own weedog.

1. Create your own sfs (could be humungous or a set of multiple sfs) of your ...

Hi,

It's unfortunate that there's not a lot of WDL users to give feedback or even contribute scripts/plugins because this is really a great tool. As fredx181 mentioned earlier, it may be too overwhelming for a newcomer. It was quite overwhelming for me at first but I was too excited to give up ...

ronriel

I think using a plugin recipe file type of mechanism that already exists for the build_root_fs script might be the angle to achieve this.

I'll look into that also. Thanks!
I haven't explored much, specially the scripts. I am still more on wrapping my mind around the WDL concept at this stage ...

ronriel

WDL is indeed distro agnostic. I just weedogged an MX Linux distro and it booted successfully. Manjaro boots faster at 19 secs though. Quite amazing considering these frugal installations are a couple of gigs in size.
I may not know what's happening behind scenes but I could say WDL is quite ...

ronriel

Thanks wiak! I'm now posting this using the Weedogged Manjaro.
I'll just leave a screenshot for now. I will be exploring this tomorrow. It's late here. I gotta sleep.

fredx181 ,

I'd like to report a problem. When you save the directory with a space in the name (ex. "Portable Apps" - note the space between "Portable" and "Apps"), the profile will be saved in another directory, not in the same directory as the appimage. In my case, it's here: /initrd/dev_saveApps ...

- Restart now : runs restartwm straightaway
- Restart later : exits the script and does nothing. This allows the user to close programs/apps, etc. Just remember to re-start "X" later.....either that, or the entries will show up when you next re-boot.

Excellent!

Thanks for making these easy-to-use portable apps even easier to use. Those Menu Add/Remove scripts are very helpful additions.
Just one request though. Can you make the restartwm part optional with a "yes/no" in the terminal or "enter if yes". It surprised me a bit as I had lots of ...

ronriel

Need to say that above appimage is latest Slimjet version (v31.0.2.0), so at this point of time updating doesn't make any difference, so for now just for testing the concept, feedback appreciated.
I plan to update all appimages at first post with this -update option included, this Slimjet ...

ronriel

wiak,
Pls take your time...

In the meantime, I'm downloading the Manjaro ISO.

I have tried building with RC7 WDL Arch64 before, though it wasn't able boot due to microcode issues. I'm itching to get a WDL system running.

Note that upstream Arch has recently changed the way it provides/installs modules (they are now in .zst form) - the build script will no longer ...

ronriel

Reading this got me all excited. But I don't know where to start. Where can I get the script? I have tried building with RC7 WDL Arch64 before, though it wasn't able boot due to microcode issues. I'm itching to get a WDL system running.

Just sharing my thoughts after using these appimages...

I think the approach of using appimages or any portable apps fits into the Puppy Linux principle of being a small or portable OS. I think this is a good solution for unavoidable "big" applications like browsers and office suites (I use sfs for ...

I've added Slimjet appimages (32 and 64 bit) see near the bottom at: first post

Hi fred, I am using slimjet 64 bit. So far, your appimage works well. Thanks for this.

ronriel

Dropping by to say Thank you to the contributors.

ronriel

Care to share the scripts? These are very interesting.

but I must do all the job again as the commutation from jwm to xfce4 and back is not implemented and I know no actual dotpet to do that.

There is a wmswitcher built in fossapup. I used it when I installed XFCE in fossa.

mistfire ,
I gave this a try and it worked and is usable. I installed it frugally on an SSD. However, i noticed the ff unusual behavior.

1. Shutting down takes too long. Takes a minute maybe. Savefile used is a 2GB 4fs. I restarted it, then shutdown immediately, same issue encountered.
2. Changing ...

ronriel

Mostly Fedora, Slackware, Debian still supports 32-bit.
Sadly to say that 32-bit packages was getting rare and I have no choice but to move to 64-bit since QuickPup target was 2010's or newer computers which commonly uses 64-bit cpu. QuickPup64 is now reached BETA and requires fixes for XFCE 4.16 ...

ronriel

Great releases Josejp. Any plans to release XFCE version?

ronriel

I am looking for a way to install auto-cpufreq to puppy. Is there an .sfs or a .pet somewhere? Thank you.
