PL: fossapup64-9.5
Anyone up for the challenge of building the latest version of R?
The problem is all the libraries/packages are built for R-4.x.x ?

Here is the link to the source code:
(Note: you may need to install gfortran)

How do I run jupyter-lab notebook?
The official website for jupyter says to run "jupyter-lab" but our install doesn't have it? I tried jupyter--notebook --allow-root, jupyter-run and jupyter-nbclassic but no luck...

Thanks for you help,
David

Yes, gcc is in /usr/bin/gcc

I downloaded to devx pet package from here.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pe ... s-fossa64/

Clicked on the the package and "Yes" to install.

Hello I am looking for the lastest (stable) version of Rofi, I believe it is 1.7.5? The version that ships with fossapup64-9.5 is 1.5.4.

@bigpup

I installed gdm (and related packages). How do I configure so that it will kick off at boot up?

TIA,

Thanks for the suggestion.
What seemed to improve the download speed was changing the "Attached To" setting from NAT -> Bridged Adapter

David

Yes putting it in the /etc/windowmanager worked.

Thanks for your patience.
i3 is working now.
Here is a picture of what I want to remove from the desktop.

Thanks,

@bigpup
Thanks for following up.
The laptop is a wireless connection
The speed coming in the laptop is 22.2 Mbps and the upload of only 4.68 Mbps
And the download speed was so slow in the VM that speednet.net timed out?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

David

Thanks, that did the trick!!
One quick question, how do I turn off the summary screen on the right-hand side of the screen?

David

How can I speed up my internet connection?
I am running fossapup64-9.5 on a VMware virtual machine on a Windows 10 laptop.
The internet connection is painfully slow.

TIA,
David

Hey,
How do I switch window manager to i3?
I installed all the i3 files in ppm and changed etc/windowmanager to i3 (and committed out jwm) but when I boot up I still get the jwm.

TIA,
David

@wizard, bigpup, mikeslr, and wizard
Thanks for all the good suggestions.

David

Good news I got Fosssapip64 up and running.
One question is how do I enable cut-and-paste to and from the Urxvt terminal?

TIA,
David

Oscar,
Thanks for you time and advice.
I switched to fossapup64-9.5, which has Python-3.9 and pip3.

Thanks again,
David Jackson

Thanks for your suggestions.
I am using bionicpup64-8.0-uefi.
Using ppm I upgraded Python-3.6 and pip2.
When I run: pip install python --upgrade
It sy that it is already installed?

What I want to do is install 3.10 without using the source code.

David

Howdy,
Is there a way to install Python-3.10 without building it from the source?

TIA,
David
