I have installed AnyDesk on FocalPup32 . Everything works the way it's supposed to, except when I control the computer remotely using AnyDesk , the RAM usage increases one Megabyte at a time every 5-10 seconds. I'm using the AnyDesk-6.0.1-i686.pet kindly supplied by mikewalsh : https://mega.nz ...

mikewalsh I've never, EVER heard of not bothering to set a 'boot flag'. Certainly not where creating a bootable drive is concerned. (A CD wouldn't need this, obviously, because it's already set-up to boot.....in addition to which the ISO9660 file format is read-only anyway). Where did you see this ...

mikewalsh Take a look at the vid below; see if it clarifies things any further. Most folks respond to visual demonstration far better than they do written stuff; I know I do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgPxRH6_VpQ When I retraced my steps, trying to solve the "Error 13" problem, some questions ...

bigpup mikewalsh Think on this. If you have the iso on the same partition as the one you want to install the files on. Everything is being done on that single partition and drive at the same time. Got to read from it, and write to it. Can only do one thing at a time. So the reads have to be stored ...

bigpup mikewalsh You'd copy them the exact same way as you would any other files.....as below:- I think I may have figured out what causes the problem, but I'm not sure I understand why . Looking at Mike's illustration I noticed that the .iso file that he klicked to open was located in a dedicated ...

bigpup I have tried to retrace my steps in creating the different USBs. In doing so, I may be onto what causes the problem. The very first USBs were created the most basic way. Download the .iso file and "burn" it to the USB using some kind of utility. This worked well in most cases. The next set ...

Do you boot only with one usb stick plugged-in? (I'm asking, because in your menu.lst is "sdc1")

Yes, when I boot there's only one USB, and it is assigned as sdb1. Sdc1 is the USB I'm formatting with GParted on the Puppy on sdb1.

bigpup To eliminate, maybe a USB going bad. Tried this on a different USB? Yes, two diferent ones, both purchased less than one month ago. In Gparted. showing the contents of the USB. Are there any error icon tags on any of the partitions? None that I can see. Right click on the ext3 formatted ...

Kjellinux

I have created numerous pristine installations of several different 32bit Puppy versions using exactly the same method. 1. Use GParted to create a USB with a partition table (dos), a main partition (ext3) and a swap partition. 2. Download the .iso file and copy all its files to the main partition. 3 ...

I have now finished three categories in MoManager - Menu categories , Menu entries and SSS domains . The remaining three I don't know what to do with. Scripts and Binary executables come up with empty files, and XML files seem to contain a lot of code, but I cant't find anything to translate. Since ...

Kjellinux

mikewalsh What you want is a bog-standard .pet, that will install & run anywhere, on any Puppy. I think so. Let me know if it works for you, please. Now AnyDesk survives the reeboot! :) One problem remains. It still "eats RAM" at a pace of 1MB every 5-10 seconds as long as the test rigg is ...

I have FocalPup32 installed on a USB with two other Puppys, each in a separate folder according to instructions given in another thread in the forum. Can this affect the behaviour of AnyDesk? I have now tried to install only FocalPup32 on a USB, with the same result as before. Directly after ...

Phoenix Its slightly unclear what is preventing it from running, try running it through terminal. How do I find the file to run in the terminal?

I have installed the AnyDesk-6.0-i686 .pet from https://mega.nz/file/maISDZrD#CbU10BZW8Ql8tiBdGqLsP1RyYZkSgg6tePo6_sh5lDE . It installs without problem, it creates a menue entry under category "Network", it starts without problems and it works the way it's supposed to. Until I turn on the computer ...

Kjellinux

Venk I can't see how much RAM your machine is equipped with. That is one of the most important limiting factors. The fact that you can run Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon should mean that it's at least 1GB RAM. I'm running Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon on a 15 year old Dell Latitude D610 with 2 GB RAM. It's a ...

Kjellinux

I have now finished some translation and created a langpack pet. The instructions say I should mail it to bkauler@gmail.com, but I don't have an e-mail account on the machine where I'm running FocalPup32. How should I proceed?

Kjellinux

HerrBert Though this may go OT i have to admit that nearly every Puppy Linux i tried has it's issues. In most cases it's easy to fix by editing some lines of code in a script. Not a big deal if you are able to locate the problem. And there you have two MAJOR problems for regular users. They hav NO ...

Kjellinux

No rest for the wicked... The AnyDesk that worked fine on FocalPup32 has now stopped working. The files are still there, the menue entry is still there, but when i klick on the menue entry, absolutely NOTHING happens. If I try to install again, it informs me it's already installed. When I try to do ...

Kjellinux

I'm impressed by how much Puppy Linux can fit into a very small .iso file, and by how little RAM is needed. I'm equally NOT impressed with the lack of stability and consistency. With every version of Puppy I test, I find new problems that need solving. Whenever I try to solve a problem, I find ...

After selecting Sweden and Swedish keyboard in Quick Setup on first boot, a window pops up informing me I need a Swedish language pack, but that none exists. Yet, some menu entries are in Swedish. What is the source of those Swedish menue entries? I know that at least Ubuntu and Linux Mint have ...

williams2 When you run the scripts, does it seem to be trying to change the resolution? For example, does the screen go black for 5 seconds or so? No, no change, no black screen. The standard advice is that newer Pups work better with newer hardware, and older Pups work better with older hardware ...

Kjellinux

williams2 I meant, when you got it to run at 1024x768, what other modes does xrandr list? The 1024x768 seems to occur when I boot with radeon.modeset=0. In this case xrandr generates the following output: # xrandr xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480 ...

Kjellinux

williams2 If mode.setting is enabled, the kernel can set the mode (the video resolution) of your hardware, at boot time. If mode.setting is disabled, the kernel can not set the mode. How can I find out if mode.settings is enabled or disabled? What do you see if you type xrandr in a terrminal ...

@PiZZa3

@mikewalsh put together a really helpful instruction video for me on the topic on how to use Gparted to format a USB including a swap partition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgPxRH6_VpQ&t=2s.

There is more on the topic in the thread I mentioned earlier.

williams2 bigpup Suddenly, and I have no idea which one of my actions caused it, the QuickSetup tells me I have a screen resolution of 1024x768, and that "The radeon video driver is currently being used." Another thing I have noticed is that all other Puppy versions that I have tested changes the ...

bigpup That is not how you edit a menu entry. When you see the boot menu. Use arrow keys to highlight the entry you want to edit. Press e key. You are now in the edit screen and should be seeing all the different lines of commands that make up the entry. Use arrow keys to move the highlight to the ...

Kjellinux

williams2 I don't think you tried adding a modeline to xrandr (successfully.) If you want to try that, I've attached a script to give me some information. Just download the script named script.gz . It's not gzipped, just run it in a terminal (console) like this: sh script.gz Then upload the file ...

Kjellinux

williams2 You should be able to type radeon.modeset=1 when you see the boot loader screen. With Grub I think you select which Puppy you want to boot, then press e , type radeon.modeset=1 at the end of the line you are editing, then press <enter> or ctrl+X or something to boot. Then, if it works ...
