Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Cool. Thank you very much. I know Pale Moon. I used it for a while in the recent past. It is good generally speaking, but unfortunately it slowly got worse and worse regarding website compatibility, till it reached the point when I was forced to stop using it. I don't know if it has been recently ...

I didn't know just trying to run the program would give a list of missing dependencies. Very nice! "dpkg -I filename.deb" lists them all too though, and dpkg is already built into Easy. So it's another option. Thanks for the info, going to keep trying some stuff. I used to use dpkg on Ubuntu and ...

In my experience as a simple user (I am neither a developer nor a Linux expert) the majority of programs downloaded from Debian are installed with a simple double click. When that's not enough, I launch the program from sakura that tells me which package is missing, I download it and install it. I ...

Interesting file manager also XFE . I just needed to download and install 4 packages for it (2 of them are optional): it didn't take more than 5 minutes. Packages: xfe libfox-1.6-0 xfe-i18n (translations) xfe-themes Screenshot(2).jpg Probably the compatibility between EasyOS and the Debian ...

Some of us do not have the time for, nor any interest in, spending lots of time and effort doing complicated, trial-and-error, highly technical experimentation just to get pieces of software working... maybe, or maybe not working at all, despite the time and effort spent. Our time is valuable and ...

Probably most of us don't like pain, so to avoid it as much as possible, in case you really want to make use of Debian packages, better run a system that is actually *based* on Debian in the first place. I've been happily using more than 2 hundred foreign packages downloaded from the Debian ...

EasyOS, as well as Puppy Linux generally speaking, is a Debian derivative. This means that it will be possible to install almost any package from the Debian repository, even though the own official repository is much smaller than the Debian one... ... and even the possibility to install almost ...

Yeah, but the problems are (1) not everything is available as a flatpak, and (2) for any app that needs substantial and regular access to several/many different areas of the real (not sandboxed fake) filesystem (like a file manager, or many other kinds of apps), the flatpak sandbox is a pain in the ...

EasyOS does not wither. Barry is searching for a way to transform it in order to include more packages in it. Lastly he is considering to embed it inside Bedrock , which is basically a way to run multiple distributions at once and let them communicate with each other. But this is all just ...

@ All The problem with AnyDesk is now solved. It looks like on Scarthgap 6.3.1 a new dependeny is needed ( libgtkglext1 ) which on previous EasyOS versions was not. Download Dependencies: - libpolkit-gobject-1-0 - libsystemd0 - libgtkglext1 Please remember that the program cannot be run as root (use ...

The package in Debian (Bookworm) is libgtkglext 1 (https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/libgtkglext1) In anydesk.trace, he last few lines are the most interesting. Maybe starting by CRITICAL or something similar Ah yes, thank you, probably I just mistyped the name of the package, sorry. On the ...

I don't know anything at all. This may be my first time reading about csh Ibus was added in v6.3 : https://bkhome.org/news/202409/ibus-pinyin-compiled.html https://bkhome.org/news/202409/ibus-input-method-packages-compiled-in-oe.html ( EDIT : ibus is listed in PKGget but not installed) But this may ...

@ Caramel and Feodorf Hi Guys. Thank you very much guys for the support. As already stated, I've already found a substitute for AnyDesk ( HopToDesk ). Regarding the issue with AnyDesk , I've tried it on 2 EasyOS systems and it occurs on both of them. However, since I have more than 200 foreign ...

We have managed to let HopToDesk work. You won't believe what the problem was. Basically, it's just a visualization problem: the HopToDesk-ID is composed of 9 digits, but for some reason on EasyOS the window is not wide enough to contain all of them, and the last digit gets hidden (or, equivalently ...

So, I tried to set the system language to english, so that we can exclude the possibility of any language-related issue. The issue persists. The english text of the same error messages is: # anydesk (anydesk:1032): IBUS-WARNING **: 19:58:09.812: Unable to connect to ibus: Could not connect: Stale ...

It looks like /etc/profile.d/vte.csh is in a foreign package. EasyOS has libvte and does not have that file. Delete that file and try anydesk again. Dear Barry, thank you very much for your attention. I have removed the file. The error disappeared, but the issue remained. If I reopen the window ...

I have updated from v6.2 to v6.3.1 a couple of days ago. Now I have noticed that unfortunately AnyDesk does not run correctly any more, neither in the deb version nor in the FlatPak version. Even the portable tar.gz package version does not run correctly. The issue is, that the program window ...

5) Perfected stability when shutting down the system (when using USB sticks, still sometimes the system requires several minutes to shut down or it even freezes for ever - without saving the session -) I am unable to reproduce this. I have several computers, and usually test usb stick on 3 of them ...

I would like: 1) A better and more noticeable alert for when the battery is almost empty (under 10%) 2) Brightness settings loading automatically when the system boots up 3) Ability to change or remove the file system encryption password (for when exporting the whole system image to other physical ...

This applies to EasyOS Scarthgap . Not 100% sure that it also works on Kirkstone . If you have a laptop with integrated AMD Radeon video chip, even if you don't have any video problem when using it, it may be that you aren't actually using the 3D acceleration power of your video chip (video ...

I'm reporting perfect operation on the following hardware: # lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Renoir/Cezanne Root Complex 00:00.2 IOMMU: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Renoir/Cezanne IOMMU 00:01.0 Host bridge: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] Renoir PCIe Dummy Host ...

Update to 6.2 successfull. The system looks to be running a little bit more stable, especially during start ups and shutdowns. I have been exüeriencing sporadic freezes or strange slowdowns with 6.1 and 6.1.1, often accompanied to the network card being dead. Now it all runs very stable. More over, ...

I successfully installed and used OCRmyPDF on Scarthgap (since v 6.1). It's in my opinion the best software for PDF text recognition. - based on Tesseract - the processing is very fast - the text recognition is very powerful (it basically always recognizes all of the included text) - the generated ...

When connecting to a VPN by using OpenVPN or other Linux software, the system will not add the DNS server(s) of the network you are connecting to, to the /etc/resolv.conf file. This implies that you will be able to ping the IP addresses of all computers being part of the network you are connecting ...

Hello, I discovered a small problem which occurs when using OpenVPN , and a temporary fix for it. When trying to connect to a VPN server, OpenVPN does not connect and reports the following error: ERROR: Cannot open TUN/TAP dev /dev/net/tun: No such file or directory (errno=2) this seems to also ...

I assembled a desktop PC with older hardware (this is about 9 years old) and EasyOS 6.1 is running flawlessly on it. - Intel Core I5 4670K - MSI Z97 Gaming 7 - 2 x 8 GB DDR 3 Kingston Hyper X - Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 (Zotac Amp Extreme) - Netgear WNA1100 USB wireless adapter - Samsung optical DVD ...

@ Barry K Alright, I've solved the problem. I've found the cause of it. This might be interesting. The issue with the package Kio (that means KDE Input Output ) not working / loading is caused by the devx_6.1.1_amd64.sfs sfs package. When it's set to automatically load itself on the main level for ...

Got my extensions back. Will move them to /opt or /files/other . Regarding Dolphin and Okular I see that these new flatpaks are somehow better and now they can also access mounted ntfs partitions. However, they still can't manage applications and file associations (no open with option) and Dolphin ...

I have to report some issues occurring since update to v 6.1.1. KDE Dolphin and Okular , which I had installed through foreign packages and updated to v 22.12.3 since the release of EasyOS Scarthgap , don't seem to work any more for some reason which I'm trying to find out. Dolphin reports the ...

Furthermore, all of my extensions for Ungoogled Chromium 126 suddenly disappeared at once. They were stored on /usr/lib/chromium on my installation. Maybe there were changes to the folder structure of the system? Or something specific isn't working as expected? If you install foreign packages ...
