Possible security add-on mitigating download??

@greengeek The problem with overflowing text is the width of Conky's display. There are two easy solutions: 1) Go into the Menu-Desktop-Conky-setup, resize the font. Perhaps not so good if eyesight is a problem. Or extend the Windows width to a larger number. Mine is using NotoSans 13 # Minimum ...

Hi Mike! 'Twas very much the same for me with ye anciente Dell Inspiron.....which finally popped its clogs..... Ha! Ha! My old Dell (From Hell!) the self-same model, still lives! The old knee-warmer still boots but is now a shelf item (heavy shelves!), although someone spilt 'Cola' over the lower ...

@ Stephen. Would this be your Acer 3000 laptop? https://www.cnet.com/reviews/acer-aspire-3000-review/ The specifications are not that generous regarding memory! Can you please state just how much memory the laptop has. If it is just 256MB, you are already struggling. Browsers are memory hogs. The ...

Bring the equation down to the most simple form: remove all and every device capable of holding a save file or folder including any installed hard drive. THEN and ONLY THEN boot from the CD. What happens now?

Governor I've been a Puppy Linux user - emphasis, "User" - for more than twenty years. I'm not a programmer, just a tinkerer where computers are concerned, who gave up on Windows. Almost all those Puppy Linux incarnations you mentioned follow the same dictum, they are not difficult but, like ...

@HerrBert That is one of the clearest and concise explanations, ever! Thank you.
Mods. Might I suggest that the full subject be copied across to the 'HOW-TO' section of the forum for long-term viewing.

@Governor, You mentioned that..... "Another issue is my keyboard language setting keeps getting lost even though it shows correctly in the current settings. This happens whenever I plug anything in or out of my USB hub , even though the keyboard is plugged in continuously." The emphasis is on the ...

Yes, same here in the south-west UK, Gloucestershire. Extremely slow. It's ironic that I have to press the 'Submit' button!

No flash drive. Exactly the same stanza utilized to boot Lupu-528-005 on the Dell's sda1. Using Grub-4-DOS. All Puppy's in sub-directories on the first level, not submerged within another directory/folder. title Lupu-528-005 (sda1/Lupu-528-005) uuid (Did you add your computer's designated UUID ...

@freya I'm posting this reply directly from Lupu-528.005, using Mozilla Firefox 45.1.1 ESR browser, just for old times sake! The computer is the old workhorse, a Dell Optiplex 760 desktop with 4 Megs of RAM. The Lupu 528.005 was frugally installed in the exact same manner as you described - my usual ...

my filters looks like where i need to be, but i don't know what/how to do there. Do you think that installing an add-on such as Ublock will then work automatically for everything without any guidance? Open up Ublock then make sure you haven't "disabled cosmetic filtering" - the eye symbol. When you ...

Likewise confused. Firefox too has the ability to accept add-on's that block user defined areas of unwanted page scripting. I use this method myself. As for 'filling the area' with an image or text, if only temporarily, just use Control (Cnt) and plus (+) to enlarge the page. There are also page ...

INFORMATION???? This has all been said many, many times before.
Computer: Make, Model. Laptop, etc?
Printer, Scanner, MAKE, MODEL('s) same/different, etc.
CONNECTION? How? USB-1, USB-2, USB-3, alternatives....Wi-Fi?
Direct to computer or through a USB multi-terminal?
What have you tried?

If you wish, try downloading uBlock Origin extension which has the capacity to block various parts of a website which either obscure text or add loads of useless contextual 'parc'! :x . I haven't tried ithis Brave because it requires allowing Google, to, quote: "It enables chrome.identity for ...

@boof I'm assuming that your requirement is to enlarge the text in Brave browser and not the tab interface? Top of browser screen, right side. Three horizontal lines. Click on the icon. A menu appears. Scroll down to Settings. Appearance. Scroll down to near the bottom. Content. Font size. Small ...

@boof Perhaps it might be a good time to give details of your computer system? What is it specifically?
Hope the New Year brings relief from your computer problems.

@Grey Blurry vision? Already? Smirnoff?
Счастливого Рождества! I hope that's correct?

Yes, a Merry Christmas to one and all.
P.S. The Christmas card was first posted to my grandmother in 1903 A.D.

I'm posting from Pale Moon 32.5.0 32-bit, Dell OptiPlex 760, 2.50 Mhz, and must say that for my modest requirements never had any problems with it. I'm satisified. What more can be said!

@ mikewalsh. Hi-Ya, Mike! Yes, it's been a while. It is possible to go over the assumed memory limit with the old Dell's, although finding the memory modules at a reasonable price after all these years might prove problematic. On a side note, I still have the working Inspiron 1100 (the old 'Dell ...

First, try and max out the RAM. Second, you haven't stated how you are utilizing Puppy over an extended period: is it browsing? If so, in whatever browser you are using, go into Preferences to control the amount of available cache, which otherwise does fill up the available space.

Fossil

@boof Boof. Use Ublock Origin to remove sections of 'pop-up's and other annoyances. Once installed, click on the brown shield, directly beneath the blue 'switch-on' type icon is a series of smaller black glyphs, the middle one is an eye with a diagonal stroke through it. Allow this icon, right ...

sucuklu yumurta. XenialPup arm version? Although I could be wrong, I've never come across an ARM version. Where did you find it?

Yes, indeed. "Happy Birthday, Puppy!" Also a greatful thanks to the creator/originator of the concept, Barry Kauler, without whom none of this would have been possible. As for the rest of the brave 'pioneers' who followed, it's been a pleasure to take the various incarnations of Puppy out into the ...

@Mike Walsh Ha! Ha! They don't have PrntScrn any longer. (It's apparently considered an archaic, irrelevant hold-over from the 'bad old days'!) :roll: Yet, it works, no messing around with multiple key-presses! Sigh, technology advances "making life easier" - while creating even more complications ...

Fossil

@ MrAccident Usually prntscrn (right of F12, upper keyboard) can do the job, opening up mtPaint. Sorry if my answer is vague, but it's difficult to give any further advice without prior knowledge of whether you have installed any specific screen-capture software.

Fossil

Hi, bullpup and may I too welcome you to the forum. :welcome: :D That young whipper-snapper Mike Walsh is too kind; 'elder statesman'. Hah! I must admit that I first started playing around with Puppy Linux almost two decades ago, in that long-lost time of squealing 'dial-up' modems - and, as the ...
