Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I use JRB's JammyPup which did not come with the APT package manager. However, User1234 did compile an ISO with this included as a SFS. Personally I do not use the APT package manager and prefer to compile my own applications as and when needed. Admittedly, I do tend to keep my core applications up ...

Personally, I feel that if a member wishes to take 'time out' for themselves then this should not be questioned. Hopefully, it gives time to reflect on the situation and make a decision if they wish to participate or not. Members should be able to 'drop in and drop out' and get involved if they want...

@JakeSFR

I agree with you, I seldom use the application myself but do have installed for 'occasional' use.

As always, great app

instant recovery if one makes a mistake

I know that it is sensible to always have a recovery plan .... just in case of those days when it decides to go wrong!!

A scheduled backup option would be useful especially at the beginning when you are experimenting and trying out new applications.

@wiak

Sorry to hear your bad news.

I sincerely hope that you and the family do manage to overcome the present situation.

Take care

You can install the different packages provided. If they do not work, check for error messages and if informs you of missing files. Then use the apropriate package manager to install the applications and try again. There are different Puppy builds for Ubuntu and Debian for x64 and x32. A description...

@gyrog

Is it possible to change the partition types that are created by Stickpup?

As modern Usb storage devices use exFAT, could this be used instead of FAT32?

This I would hope would allow 'Pupsave files' to be created beyond their current 4gb limit.

@p310don

Do you have a dedicated graphics card that could offload the video encoding?

This would take the pressure off from your cpu.

Also, it will depend on the codec that you are using.

wizard Is this the setting you tried? https://i.ibb.co/BNFR4vL/Screenshot.png It does create an archive for me. JakeSFR I do not use UPX ( https://upx.github.io/ ) that often. It will compress individual files and if used with a wildcard ie *.* should compress the contents of a directory eg upx -9 ...

If everyone agrees that this is a good and positive article on Puppy Linux.

Could it be included in the Wikipedia entry under the section 'Reception' ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puppy_Linux

It could also include that their DVD offering did include the OS too.

Using a two button mouse with a wheel to copy and paste into terminal ie URXVT

Copy the text from 'Left to Right' and then in terminal click the wheel button.

This works for me in Fossapup64 and JammyPup.

@mikewalsh

Thanks for sharing this

I did make a post earlier on the forum to see if it was possible to include this option when using 'Stickpup Usb Installer'.

This would be beneficial to users as you have realised it overcomes the 4GB limit.

I would use a Linux VPS hosting service and install Nextcloud.

You can install/use Nextcloud applications eg Only Office for general tasks and potentially use Tables for your database requirements.

Each offering of Puppy may use a different Glibc.

So, it helps to point out to members which OS you compiled/built your application.

@JakeSFR

Thanks for the update

@Grey

An offer of a new ISO would be welcome

FloraMae As I am using LibreWolf as a SFS. Once you have got the initial boot screen and chosen your settings and saved them. The Profile is a hidden folder in your root directory ./librewolf This should be approximately 50mb or thereabouts. This can be moved to another location and ' sym-linked ' ...

FloraMae For me the difference between Pet and SFS installations is simply down to security, RAM requirements and deciding between day to day use/occasional use. (BTW I am using a small Pupsave file on a flash drive) A SFS browser can be used for online banking. https://i.ibb.co/xmFFRLS/Screenshot....

@mikeslr I did not follow/understand the binary identity comment.

The OSes you list are all Ubuntu based. The desktop environment differentiates them.

I have missed the point.

@mikeslr

Are all builds of PuppyLinux truly 100% binary compatible with their hosts?

As some applications require systemd, this is not included.

Also "full system updates" are not encouraged as they may break the OS.

4b refers to Aufs enabled kernels (?)

Good work

Alternatively, try Rclone
