Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Here we come again ;P

I encountered following problem: firefox doesn't remember set page zoom.

Any ideas to solve it?

ok, thanks, will check it out

ok, scanning problem solved with simple-scan

BT problem is next one to solve

what is stable version of soemthing older than F96-CE, for example based on 18.04 ubuntu?
what kind of browser does it have?

again, big thanks for time you spent helping me

I tried to install this Windows style just by Double clicking and hoping for some terminal instance to appear or gui interface.

Hmm. Gonna reinstall or try newer version of pup.

Upped ram to 8gb total.

Default password for root is woofwoof

Change in a terminal with

Code: Select all

passwd

i changed it to something new and then try to in install for example mega sync and then i type password for first time, then im being asked to do it again. should i reset pc?

@about formatting problem: I solved it yesterday. Now I'm happy user of puppy.

About root password:
I download mega sync app for ubuntu 18.04 from official page, then click .deb and I'm being asked about password.

@up: havent been smart enough to save to customization... thanks.

however, still not being able to get through root password requirement or my apps won't work on 18.04 (mega cloud desktop app official client, official epson drivers for l365).

Ok, thanks for help. Things seem to work atm.

BTW, Pup is on sda4, win10 on sda3.

So your answer to the question about making a save is:

I don't know what I've chosen.

So do a shutdown and tell me if you get asked to make a save?

Now, I don't receive any questions during shutdown.

You should get asked to make a save file when you do the first normal shutdown.
menu -> Exit -> Shut Down
Are you being asked?
If yes.
Did you make a save file?

If not... what should I do?

Coming back to Puppy Final Solution problem:
with each restart I start with clean state... Why?

Hm. Can I hijack this topic?

Are there any programs to install SliTaz and TinyCore alongside Win10 UEFI as smoothly as Lick enables that for Puppy?

Their forums are almost abandoned.

@mouldy , thanks for long reply.

I've used Lick tool for the second time and... finally success.

I bought this chromebook with already installed Win10, MrChromebox-4.14 07/25/2021 as firmware and 128 GB SSD (so I have space for linux and win10).

I fiddled with fossapup64-9.5.iso and bionicpup64-8.0-uefi.iso.

"BIOS" (UEFI?!) is very limited on this setup. I can:
- select boot device
- change boot options
- delete boot option
- boot from file
Nothing more.
