Why are you still using Windoes XP applications that are 20 years old?

I still use a slimmed down version of WinXP for some tasks, maybe a matter of affection, dunno, but it's fair to say that some programs may not have a corresponding version for linux, or not equally light at least ...

I had Wine portable 3.3 v2.1 installed on fp95, following instructions posted on the forum. It worked fine enough with a bunch of apps I used on winXP for a couple of years, despite some problem with fonts. Suddenly, the SD card I used to externalize files and apps, became corrupted, and I had to ...

It's really quite odd how some posts may appear and disappear shortly after.
Thanks Jasper, JWM 2.4.6 works fine

Is it just me or does this happen to some of you too?

Its stopped working on my FossaPup64 too, so its not just you.

Thank you Puppy

Hi all,
after a couple of months, during which it worked seamless, it suddenly stopped working.

VPN Type: NONE

My OS is untouched (a live on a write-protected usb pen).
Is it just me or does this happen to some of you too?

Regards.

Great support! Surgical and granular. Everything works like a charm now.
For those who experience issues like this, keep in mind that sometimes frisbee won't work when launched first, I mean once installed oz kernel with ydrv mentioned above. Therefore let 'simple network manager' run ...

newpet

@ozsouth - Hi ozsouth, thank you for your quick response.

First of all, I want to point out a couple of things, that I think are useful to better understand the problem:

- I use a 'live' usb pendrive with a write-protection switch, in order to prevent it from being written (read only)
- No changes ...

Hello all,

I need some help with my problematic HP 240 laptop. My system:

- FP64-9.5
- kernel 6.5.2-rock-rt8
- rtl8821ce-fossa64k5453

My laptop worked fine for many months, but one day for some reason it no longer turned on. I had to replace the whole MB with a brand new one.
Oddly enough, my ...

Thanks for the quick response. Yes, I tried to setup the touchpad by its relevant section, but it's not even detected.
However, I finally decided to return the laptop to the seller, mainly because its poor display quality, not the one I expected for an IPS, and the flimsy and noisy keyboard ...

My 2yo and one month HP 240 suddenly passed away, together with its warranty. Perfect timing. Now I'm dealing with a brand new HP 250 G9, and my goal is migrating my customized FP64 into this new machine.
First attempt, original kernel 5.4.53, all ok, except audio (totally mute), function keys for ...

Hey Jasper, I installed both openssl-1.1.1t-x86_64 and openssl_DEV-1.1.1t-x86_64 and PPM repos update stopped working.
Once uninstalled it and reinstalled 1.1.1s version, PPM update works again.
Cheers

My post wasn't for you, as you can easily read. Therefore your comment is pointless.
Good for you that you have better things to do. Feel free to cultivate your hobby whenever you like.
I see no reason to be rude, honestly.

My post is rather directed towards whom likes tinkering with ...

Yes, I already installed openSSL 1.1.1s. It seems to be the last release of the 1.1.1 serie. What will follow next?
Regarding the mail client, I'll stay with TB for now, it's the only working one as portable, though a little bulky.
However, I don't lose hope to see a portable Sylpheed ...

Six further releases are out after 1.48.171. Current is 1.50.119, according with Softpedia.

Hi Jasper
Thunderbird portable by mikewalsh works smoothly on my usb stick, gmail included. The downside of TB is that it's heavy and slow, that's why I'm looking for alternatives.
I'm aware of your attempt at compiling Claws (https://www.forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=73921&hilit ...

newpet

Is there anyone who can compile a recent version of Claws Mail (with Oauth2 working, so from 3.18 onwards, better latest 3.19.1) for FossaPup64 ? Maybe as portable?
Releases here: claws-mail.org/releases.php
Thanks

@bigpup

What other Puppy version was used?

Simply an exact copy of FP-96CE on another usb key. I always do a backup copy of my working puppies, you never know. Accidentally, same brand and model.

Cheers.

- my aim was to duplicate my main save-file, obtained at log-off with "save option", in order to have a base for experiment some changes.
- I obviously didn't make a copy while running FP, but using another puppy. Save-file was on its own usb key. Then I made a simple "copy and past" and ...

bigpup

- about 2.0 Gb each
- 4fs
- I made a copy of my save-file first with F96-CE_3, then I did the same with windows, and I compared them each other to be sure they were identical (size and checksum SHA-256). Only their name are different (B instead of A), but this obviously doesn't affect the ...

newpet

update:

I checked both save files (original and its copy) for checksum: identical.
In the first one, default connection manager works flawless; in the exact copy, same checksum, it doesn't.
How is it possible?

Cheers

newpet

@ozsouth - Thank you for the tips. First trick doesn’t work, nothing changes. Same story with the 2nd 6.0.13ao kernel. So I went back to the first 6.0.13ao you linked me. Well, I made it work, don’t ask me how, because I have no idea :) It only works if I install the driver, then I uninstall it, and ...

newpet

@ozsouth - I have both grub.cfg and syslinux.cfg on my boot partition. I send them both as attachments, so you can conveniently find the line I need to modify to make it (them) work. It's not that easy, since many lines show things like the ones you mentioned.
Thanks.

@bigpup - Thanks for posting ...

newpet

@ozsouth - I replaced the kernel with the one you suggested (6.0.13ao). Reboot. Then I installed rtl8821ce-64k6.0.13ao.pet driver, and after about ten seconds, I tried to connect. This time both network managers (default one and frisbee) were populated with lot of signals, with their relevant ...

Hi ozsouth,
thank you for your detailed response.
As one of the heirs of the Roman Empire, I was looking for the best distro in terms of details and usability, and I'm sure I almost achieved the goal :)
A little update: I noticed that wireless somehow works, but not properly. I mean it only manages ...

newpet

I think you are missreading newpet's post.

They need the RTL8821CE driver for F96-CE_3 for their WIFI device.

The Fossapup64 9.5 one is not going to work.
F96-CE_3 is using a different kernel.
Drivers are kernel specific.

Exactly.

newpet

Fresh install with Unetbootin on my 8gb pendrive, HP 240 G8.
Everything works OOTB, besides wireless. It's a RTL8821CE.
In FossaPup64 9.5, "rtl8821ce-fossa64k5453.pet" does the job.
Any help?
Thanks.

newpet

I'm aware 'iptables' has been replaced by 'nftables' from Ubuntu 20.04, and therefore, I believe, even in Fossapup64. In Tahrpup I was able to choose between different configurations on the run, depending what I had to do, banking, mailing, general browsing, etc. I compiled different iptables lists ...

newpet

Solved.

Paste 'brightness-set 10' in /etc/rc.d/rc.local, in order to avoid 'eyes burning' when booting. This value (10) may change of course depending by your taste.
Download and copy 'adjbacklight' into /bin folder.

Desktop-->JWMDesk Manager-->JWM Hotkey

XF86MonBrightnessDown --> exec ...
