I'm experiencing a problem with Chrome, this browser is making mistakes showing some objects on screen (see picture), it doesn't happen in Palemoon. I'm sure I've seen that problem before, but it is happening again in Google Firebase. Below I'm posting a screen (see the problems in the left) and ...

Hello @Amaponian
I feel that @Sofiya is correct for how you have Chrome installed.

If you are still having Chrome issues in your FossaPup64, I offer this Chrome browser PET option on the forum here .

It is flawless. I've used it for EVERY WoofCE forum distro that exist since that PET became ...

Amaponian

The problem is not in the browser, but in loading icons from the server where the icons are located

Not sure about what you mean:
This doesn't happen in Palemoon (see picture), it only happens in Chrome.

Amaponian

I've just uninstalled Chrome and installed the current version (probably the same version I uninstalled) and the problem remains the same. Help, please!

ArchPup woof-ce.

arch packages.
I have been wanting to make a puppy with arch packages for a long time.
This version does not have JWM. It is just Openbox with Tint2 panel, jgmenu menu.
The iso is too big because it still has the devx on it. only ...

I heard it was under developed. yea/nay pls.

I get sound but with constant interruptions. I guess it is because the device emitting the bluetooth signal is an old model bluetooth V2.0 EDR Class 1

Link for my nicOS-AudioBook-Creator package here: viewtopic.php?p=15274#p15274 and download a Spanish voice from here: http://www.zero2000.com/files/lhttsspe.exe. You need WINE to use it.

Reading and testing recommendations. Thank you.

@Amaponian :-

A wee bit of searching on-line found the following website;-

https://www.naturalreaders.com/online/

Very natural-sounding voices - frankly, far better than any desktop app you could get under Linux. (I don't know about "pro" apps like Dragon Naturally-speaking ; this is a Windoze ...

Amaponian

Which Puppy? Always tell us Which Puppy --there are thousands, with about two dozen actively supported-- and what applications are available --and how you get them-- will vary from one Puppy to another.

Also, what type of 'text' files do you want to listen to. Some applications work with 'txt ...

Amaponian

Online cloud-based text to speech. Haven't times changed... used to be robot sounding voices like via espeak or flite. However, don't you feel uneasy that all this power relies on being 'connected' all the time in this fibre fast internet world? Voice recognition, facial recognition, chatGPT, and ...

Amaponian

Is there a text reader (text to voice) in Puppylinux?

If that tool exist, can it read Spanish?

It we don't have that, is there a free tool online to do that text to speech reading?

I'm using Fossapus.9.5 in a frugal install.

Greetings from Veneuela!

@Amaponian I think it will work if you take an ethernet cable and connect the router with Internet connection to the MERCUSYS WL3000 router. Like in the example:
router_example2.jpg

That helped. I thought those were outlets only.

Amaponian

I have a modem/router model Mercusys WM3000.
I bought it planning to use it as an extender of an existing WiFi signal, I used to do that with another router. I can't find a way to do that with the new one. I'm starting to doubt that can be done with the new router which is more advanced than the ...

Amaponian

Incredible crack, I didnt know that could be done.
Still, SHA256 can be used for safety purposes, in a special way I use it.

Thanks for the información.

Reason: echo test pipes test + a trailing newline to sha256sum
Try
on a website: test
and
in terminal:echo -n test|sha256sum
or printf test|sha256sum

Now everything makes sense, thank you.

Amaponian

I still don't understand the value SHA256SUM returns.
It is supposed to "Print or check SHA256 checksums" , but I can't find a site on internet returning the same value when I calculate SHA256. I'm mainly interested in a site where I can get the same value I get when, in a Linux terminal, I write ...

Amaponian

You could create a small pupsave with JUST LibreOffice. There's an old cli utility here for installing multiple packages automatically. Others have written about it, but I couldn't not get it to work for me (dpkg):

root# dpkg
dpkg: error: need an action option

Type dpkg --help for help about ...

Amaponian

I downloaded LibreOffice_7.4.4.
Instead of one file, I have 42 deb files.
I have installed them manually.
I have done it twice for different installs.

Now I need to do it again for a fresh install of puppy.

This surely can be done using a script
But I don't know how it should be.
May be someone ...

Amaponian

Thanks for all that useful information.

Now I'm sure I used the fourth option, where the 'ISO' and 'USB' words are. While writing this answer, I decided to test that option again and it worked like a charm. I'm almost sure that was what I did the first time, unless an omission that I'm unaware now ...

Amaponian

First I need to know this:

Did you format to ext4 using Gparted in some version of Puppy Linux?

How exactly did you do the install to the USB?

Sorry for the delay. I was busy and, also, I have doubts about the way and order in which I prepared the flashdrive for the install. But there's only ...

Amaponian

Incredible:

I've just solved the problem this way:

1. Read the error on screen (probably I never payed attention to this)
2. Put a copy of the grldr file on the root directory of the flashdrive.
(Here the thing advanced a little more: It asked for a grub / menu.lst file)
3. I created a grub from ...

Amaponian

Below I share an image of an error that ocurs when I try to boot from a flashdrive (64GB) newly formatted as ext4 with a fresh copy of fossapup64-9.5.

I feel I have AGES having this issue and I've never looked for help here. I solve the problem formatting it as FAT32 or using the option Bootflash ...

Amaponian

Sounds like this issue here
Looks like chromium is no longer an option on older Puppies :shock:

older Puppies :shock:

That really hurts me.

But your answer made me install Fossapup.
Last version of Chrome works perfectly fine there. So the problem is reduced to old age.

Thank you ...

Amaponian

No way to solve this, even reinstalling a clean Puppy, using an old version of Google Chrome or using my old keyboard. Nothing works, a real challenge to common sense. I had to decide whether to move back to Palemoon or write things in Geany and paste them into Chrome.

Amaponian

I changed my physical keyboard recently. I re-configured my system (changed keyboard layout) for the new keyboard to work properly. Everything works fine, save for the browser (chrome, last version) who doesn't respond to diacritics in the chosen layout (any layout, I think. Without success, I ...

Try also changing the defaults.pcm.device 0 to 1

I did it and the sound disappeared again. I only realised that after I rebooted (which I did a day later). Definitely the device number used by the card is 0. I learnt a little more, thank you.

Amaponian

@Amaponian :-

Glad to hear you're sorted.

With respect to getting the "maximum" volume level, one of Retrovol's 'secret weapons' is being able to change the 'multiplier'.

Trayicon-<rt-clk->Config Window->tab [Main]->Volume Scaling. OOTB, this comes preset to ' Linear '. One of the first things ...

Amaponian

I already solved the maximum volume level problem.
Give some details.
What exactly solved it?

That info may help others.

"That info may help others."
You're right!

I saw in the tray that what was active was the "Mic Playback Volume".
I changed to "Speaker Playback Volume"
Those were ...

Amaponian

Bionicpup64 8.0 does have some updates and bug fixes that can be installed.

Quickpet icon on desktop.
Quickpet -> Info -> Bionicpup updates
Do this several times to make sure it gets all of them.
Reboot making sure to update the save, so these changes are now being used.

Not sure if any of them ...
