Fresh install of qv240423.

The QV snspshot information on desktop (https://bkhome.org/news/202404/qv-snaps ... sktop.html) not changed after the creation of a snapshot

In /root/.xinitrc, the variable NEWIMAGE (line 130) seems not initialized (The initialization line 120 is commented)

looks like it needs pipewire: https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/issues/446 Yes! It's written in "Runtime Requirements" on Kooha page (https://github.com/SeaDve/Kooha) In QV, I tried to install alsa-pipewire with PKGget. Failure with the same error than previously with kooha ( ...

During tests, a problem to install Kooha (https://github.com/SeaDve/Kooha) in QV has occurred. BarryK provided a fix (https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=117500#p117500) The same problem occurs in EasyVoid but the fix not works.(EDIT : the files 0setup in EasyVoid and in QV are very differe...

Did you do what I suggested, run this before installing the devx pet:

Code: Select all

# xbps-install -S

There is currently a sync issue, which is why I recommended do that.

No but i had launched PKGget a few minutes earlier.

I tested the installation of qv 240419. No problem. Then installation of devx. No devx in PKGget even after refresh of the database. So i downloaded the pet package on ibiblio. During installation, an error message (libnetpbm-11.06.01_1 in transaction breaks installed pkg netpbm-11.06.00_1) with cho...

Go in the Settings, in "Get started", look at the "On startup" part. I have chosen: "Continue where you left off" I make sure there is only one tab open on a legimate page and exit Brave, when I re-start, I get the same page again in addition to the page that I ended w...

Thanks for the tip. I did that but it had no effect. The wallet popup persists each time I start the browser. It was a bad tip. Brave wallet is for cryptocurrencies. Here it is the KDE Wallet for passwords. I tested in Fossapup6 9.5 with the Brave Portable from the forum (https://forum.puppylinux.c...

Why is there an annoying popup window when starting Brave browser?
How do I remove or suppress "wallet"?
Thanks.

Have you try to disable the wallet ?

In brave://flags search "Enable Brave Wallet" and replace Default by Disabled

I noticed that there is no help button on the desktop.
There was an explanation of QV at first bootup, but I closed it quickly and
I haven't discovered where it is located since.

EDIT : in installpreview.sh, line 107 the variable DB_FILE is defined as "current-repo-triad" that is equal to "void-current" by default, so line 114 the test always passes and the search of dependencies takes place in void-current even if the package to install is in a pet repo...

For academic interest, please clarify whether QV can be installed in entire partition and how to load the same.i.e Full Installation. I do not know how to do it, nor even it is possible. Anyway I don't see the point. If you want to leave all the space to QV, do not install another OS in the partiti...

I formatted btrfs partition with fatdog64, however I find that when I run previous Easy OS versions that this partition won't show up on desktop. However gparted will see it. For automatic display of btrfs partitions in Easy 5.7, one can replace the file /usr/local/pup_event/frontend_startup by the...

How to load through limine boot loader ? If you want to use limine, you need to place vmlinuz and initrd somewhere other than a btrfs partition If you have free space of an ext4 partition move (or copy) vmlinuz and initrd from the btrfs partition to a directory qv240409 in the ext4 partition. With ...

While clicking qt-installer, it asks to install qemu. I guess you use EasyOS 5.7 qv-installer is a bash script to download here : https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=116573#p116573 , with the new mount-img script.

I have written an installer, named 'qv-installer'. Thanks BarryK . I just tested. I installed qv next to the prevoius "manual" installation. The script is very verbal and might scare some people, but when you have already formatted partitions, it's very easy. (The addition to the bootload...

After a reboot, the modifications on the desktop disappeared. Same problem with relaunch the server X in the Fix menu. I haven't been able to understand why and how PuppyPin is rewritten with each reboot in Easy, so I won't find the cause of the problem. But, to permanently modify the desktop, a so...

Still researching ways to use dd to duplicate a downloaded img directly into the internal SSD BTRFS partition without having to install to a USB intermediately. Perhaps it's feasible to somehow break the QV download into two images? Not completely tested: The simplest way to break the img file is t...

After a reboot, the modifications on the desktop disappeared. I have added a icon for a directory and one for an application to the desktop. After a reboot, the icons are no longer on the desktop.

I have an unused partition I am considering for use, but gparted (version 1.4.0) shows btrfs as a new partition choice greyed out and unselectable.
