Hi @wiak love this little guy KLU-jam. Currently posting from it using portable ungoogled Chromium which I launched using the terminal.

Here are some questions:

1. Why don't portables launch jst by clicking the LAUNCH script?

1. I have just downloaded KLUJam v 1.0, and by default am ...

Booted into AntiX. Oh... not very pretty
The following is for info on antix, so should be in other distros thread, but is here as a response to wiak.
I agree. I've been using antix part-time for about a month now, mainly because it works extremely well with my setup. Boots from cold to ...

Readability?

I'm red/green colourblind.
I don't know what colours are in MochiMoppel's version but it is painful to look at and not readable to me. The version peebee has seems fine as it is, but other colourblindness variants may say differently.

Unless I'm missing something, the first post link to the iso is just a link to the first post.

Tried and tested. I deleted the 3 optimisation folders after editing LAUNCH script as advised. ReLaunched and no new folders added.
Rebooted into fossa64CE and launched same browser. All good. No extra folders apparent. There is a very small folder named OptimizationHints, which was ...

Phil_54

Thanks Mike. I'll be trying that later and will report back. Sounds fun.

Phil_54

I've been monitoring the overall folder size for this chrome portable, and it continues to grow.
I ran a graphical disk map program (using KLV_Airedale, but others will have something similar) on the overall folder, and 1.3Gb was taken up by a folder called ¨optimization_guide_prediction_model ...

Phil_54

Thanks. I've always skipped over comments about sfs files so I'll try this out and learn something! (Hopefully )

I recompressed my FP64_CE main, ydrv, and zdrv files to gz from xz. Total time to working OS is now 17.0 seconds from on button-push to full OS. Recover from sleep is variable but averages roughly 5 seconds. Shutdown with no savefile is a second or two. This is on a 2nd gen i5 based lappie ...

Just tried in F96_4-radky6-CE.
Turned off firewall, and it found my smart TV. Turned on firewall, and it now finds smart TV. (Chromecast is not powered ATM).
The firewall status seems to be a solution.
Thanks.
Can be marked as solved.

Phil_54

Not sure whether here is the right place to post. Please move if needed.
I use one copy of portable chrome for various puppy installs and KLV_Airedale. mikewalsh this is such a great gift.
I use the built in "cast" function regularly. This is found in the chrome menu.
My Smart TV works with this ...

rc10 working nicely. Save file now remembers muted sound as well as desktop shortcuts. Thank you.
I have a wish.
As you've developed KVL_Airedale I have noticed boot times to working desktop increasing. The best I had was beta16 with 35 seconds and over time this has now increased to ...

Phil_54

Is it because your windows programme needs to interface with a browser? (or vice versa) i.e it expects explorer?
Have you tried Portable edge browser to see if that helps?

Phil_54

@fredx181
Yes, that is what I have done. I'll experiment with sub-folder again, maybe didn't leave long enough to boot. Thanks for link too. I'm learning about differences of dog v puppy. Having fun.
Maybe questions later, but will search forum first.

fredx181
I hadn't realised that the live folder, as part of the structure, was important. I moved everthying into live inside bdog, but grub2 boot failed (unless I didn't wait long enough ?).
I re-copied the original live folder into a live folder on my sdcard, i.e. not inside bdog folder. Redid ...

Phil_54

I downloaded the test ISO from https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=5069.
Put into ventoy usb and launched and played around. As it seemed to have a working suspend/laptop lid resume, I thought I'd do a frugal install on my trusty sdcard, alongside other frugals.
The built in installer ...

I use tesseract-ocr as a commandline tool on screenshot selections from pdfs or images etc.
On ubuntu/debian-linked puppies gimagereader is a very good tool, so when that is not available, or converting the .deb to .sfs or xbps (void puppy/KLV) fails, I use a screenshot tool to create a png file and ...

Phil_54

amethyst I will try your utility in hope.

I have managed to do normal suspend on many pups/KLV/KLU/fatdog64 using the echo -n mem >/sys/power/state script. If I don't close lid, I get minimal battery loss overnight for some but not all (could be kernel dependent). When I close the lid ...

Phil_54

I know you've released rc.10, but I still have rc.9 and have three very minor annoyances.

Running with ram2, and using save2flash I have most of my settings set on reboot. Two items are not getting remembered.

1. A link to a portable browser on desktop that I no longer have. I delete the link ...

Thanks Mike, I'll try those, but I do clear the browser through the menu regularly anyway. Currently using slimjet which has a profile directory size of 250mb after cleaning. I have been downloading a number of large files recently and chrome froze a few times, Also I sometimes have ...

Phil_54

I've been running this portable for about 3 weeks since a fresh install. I happened to check the size of the extracted folder and it was 1.3Gb. About 300mb was in the chrome folder, and just under 1Gb in the PROFILE folder. Is this normal? Any way to trim the fat?
The extracted folder is in root of ...

Phil_54

short feedback.
Launches ok from my SDcard.
Suspend works and laptop lid seems to be ok (no reboot on opening), but need to test longer.
Portable browsers work fine.
Forgot to use save2flash first couple of launches, but that now works fine.
Ram useage level ok.
I like the minimal content. I ...

wiak
But, don't worry, per usual if a distro I release isn't used, gets hardly any feedback, or is objected to, I don't publish it further and keep it in my house! Too much work otherwise. Weedogit basically went that vanishing way for that kind of reason, though it may become available in ...

Phil_54

I have downloaded and am using librewolf AppImage. I have this saved outside the frugal install so available to other puppies.
In Fossapup64 CE I opened it up run-as-spot. When downloading anything, it prompts by default the spot/Downloads folder.
In Fatdog64 by same method it prompts download as ...

MochiMoppel

@rockedge This is a very fine distro and I enjoyed testing it ....until I realized that it doesn't run stable on my old HW. Quite often it would awake from suspend with a black screen, requiring a hard reset.
On the other hand the plain FP96 with a 5.4.53 kernel doesn't show these ...

Phil_54

My guess only.
If your network manager doesn't have a check box for auto start, try deleting the network .desktop file in ~/Startup/autostart. In my Fossapup it is netmon_wce.desktop.
Tell us which network connect app you have used if that doesn't work.

Phil_54

Thanks again @Sofiya . Already impressed with uBlock Origin stats, I'll explore Yandex.

Phil_54

Thanks, Sofiya .
Installed and seems effective.
I notice in settings, it has a colour blind friendly check box. I've enabled this, and will be interested to see the results. Most websites are normally ok but sometimes my colourblindness has been an impediment. It was throughout my career as graphs ...

Phil_54

I am a long term user of Chrome, partly because I have had hardly any issues, and secondly, I appreciate the sync with my android phone, and 3rd, I cast regularly to my smart TV. Do any other browser sync to android?
I also dabble in Palemoon (latest seems smooth and quick, some downloads don't work ...
