Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

More to the point, what I don't understand is how you got access to post in a "locked" forum?

Can't figure that one out.

BarryK :- I don't know about KDE apps. I suppose could have a go at compiling them. You might find you'll be biting off more than you can chew, Barry. Anything to do with KDE makes, shall we say, assumptions about your system & software. For a start, you'll need to have the FULL install of whatever ...

rockedge :- I was granted access again to thin out the ISO's and kernel's under threat from the host provider of violating terms of service by using it as a repository. They were about to kick me off. So I am downloading the stuff then removing a majority of it to again be within the terms. They ...

@rockedge :-

Hmm. Here, it's just after 8 pm - an hour and a half after Fred's last post - and for me, it's all accessible. This is in Opera-portable, running under Tahrpup64 ATM. I assume it's all 'fixed' now?

Mike.

The problem is not Debian, but a GPU vendor that doesn't maintain drivers for old hardware that work with new kernels. If NVIDIA doesn't provide drivers and firmware (closed source) it doesn't matter what distro you use, who's building it or how - it won't support your GPU. If NVIDIA says your GPU ...

bigpup / shinobar :- Doing stuff that way is absolutely fine IF your GPU is new enough to be supported by whatever the current 'mainline' driver happens to be in the repos. In my case, support for the GT 710 was dropped around 18 months ago; the last supported driver was the 480-series. So for me ...

Jamayka24 :- Mm. Okayyy... Well, it's perfectly possible to remove the shortcuts ("launchers", as they're called). It's also possible to reduce the number of workspaces to one, although multiple workspaces can be really useful, and permit the execution of different apps/tasks at the same time ...

jamesbond :- Just so you know, Midori 11.4 requires glibc 2.38. It won't run on anything older. Which means that even Bookwormpup64 would be a non-starter, Jim, since that's "only" glibc 2.36. This being the case, it rather looks like Midori is now out of reach.....until Puppy catches up, that is ...

@Clarity :-

Would you like to expand upon the point you're trying to make here? I'm sure we'd all like to follow your train of thought on this one.....

Mike.

Afternoon, gang. Following development of the "on-demand" NvidiaTrayTemp utility for monitoring the core temperature of an Nvidia GPU:- https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=9943 .....ozsouth and I, between us, have developed an "always-visible" Nvidia GPU systray monitor, giving a continuous ...

@TC-21-32 :-

Try here, at my MediaFire a/c:-

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/7r6l49 ... e-portable

You're not the first with MEGA.nz woes. The site IS pretty fussy about access via "latest versions", etc.....

Mike.

mikewalsh .....and I don't know the first thing about PipeWire, because I've never used it. If you ever have used BookwormPup (and played any sound), you are guilty of having used pipewire :lol: fredx181 :- Hah! In that case, yup; "guilty as charged", mate.......but only briefly, 'cos I HAVE only ...

FeodorF :- If I could help with this one, I would.....but I think Fred might be better placed to help here (or indeed, anyone that understands these two). I'm a "straight" ALSA man; I've always hated PulseAudio (so have never become proficient with its quirks).....and I don't know the first thing ...

JakeSFR :- Cheers for that, Jake. Works a treat. Okay, it's perhaps NOT the 'technically'-nicest way to do it......but it's an easy, functional method for achieving what I was after; to be able to "look" inside any SFS from a recent Puppy IF I happen to be using an older Pup at the time..... It ...

For quite some time, I'd been using the 'standard' Log-out GUI, modified by replacing 'Rebuild menus' by the 'Suspend' option - modifying the /usr/sbin/logout_gui appropriately:- https://i.postimg.cc/dt2G13Dc/suspend.png With which I was happy for a long while; suspend is a 'must' for me, since a ...

ChrisH :- Whilst I can see where you're coming from - yes, a 'standalone' modern build of gParted could be 'nice' for some use-cases, I guess - very few Puppy users are going to share your particular requirements here. Indeed, most will turn around & say, "Why don't you just install & run a newer ...

stevie pup :- The new build is now up for download. It definitely works under Fossapup64 9.5 - PhilB's original - because I've just been using it here for the last half-hour or so. I would advise creating a new profile. If you want to import any existing subscriptions from YouTube, I've updated the ...

Okay, gang. here's the new build of Freetube-portable - v0.21.3

You can find it at the main link in post #1. Enjoy!

Mike.

AQUAR :- ....security through obscurity.... Heh. Um; yeeees..... Granted, this has almost been a 'mantra' of the Linux community for long enough. Granted, too, that while there is nothing like the quantity of Linux malware out there in the wild, it DOES exist. And as desktop Linux slowly & steadily ...

stevie pup :- ATM, I'm using v0.19.2 beta . I only upgraded it once after the last update; TBH, I haven't used it very much recently. I've been watching YT in Opera. So apologies for the lack of newer releases. Just so's you know for future reference.....the 'portable' is built around the AppImage ...

boof :- PLEASE don't keep doing that! It takes up a massive amount of space on the page. Either wrap code "tags" around it - as I've done FOR you, above - or do as Jasper suggested; paste it into a text file named after the log itself, and just add ".zip" to the end of the filename. Then add it to ...

AQUAR :- The experiment was a good idea, but unfortunately after trying many fdr.sfs from working combinations, we get no dice with any kernel later than 5. So stick with the 5-series. I would. I don't worry about security bugs'n'stuff that are highly unlikely to come near my domestic, single-user ...

@rockedge Probably showing my age here but my first "computer" was a Commodore VIC20. It came with a basic interpreter, and I wrote a program on it for sizing remote area solar power systems. Upgraded that to an IBM clone with MSDOS on it. Was an early mouse adopter with my amiga 1000 (OS on 2 by 3 ...

rockedge :- I've noticed something else this last 2-3 weeks, Erik. On a couple of occasions, I've written replies to people, then hit the 'Submit' button to post them. Instead of going to the forum with the post showing, I get the editor window back again......except my post's vanished! Never seen ...

dimkr :- No worries. If you wish to remain anonymous, I'm good with that. I appreciate that not everyone wants to be chatty about themselves online. It's perhaps one of MY biggest failings..! :D And apologies for any misrepresentation, my friend. No harm was intended. Not intentionally, anyway ...

Jamayka24 :- AFAIK, "#" means "root user", whereas "$" means just "user". For us here in Puppyland, they're generally one & the same because Puppy runs AS root. But although we don't normally use the "user" '$' prompt, it IS possible to enter that mode. The "spot" user is, I believe, our equivalent ...

rockedge :- Mm.....no. Not as yet. Well, nowt like you're suggesting; I have a utility - NvidiaTrayTemp - which I built to tackle this. This is just scripted in Bash; there's not much to it, really. When I originally started kicking the idea around this rather empty skull of mine ( :lol ...

those are all covered by ROX's 'swallow' function, which I've never really understood very simply put the <swallow></swallow> tag in JWM will start and execute a program and display an icon from that executed program in the tray on the right hand side. JWM configuration also has a similar tag that ...

AQUAR :- The GT1030 I bought second hand for just a few dollars along with a few others oldies (junk box at a computer store) this GT1030 is also fanless and has 2GB of DDR5 memory (so its the good version as many have DDR4). I snagged my Asus GT710 "passive-cooler" right at the start of COVID ...

AQUAR :- I wouldn't have thought anything was "missing". The GT1030 is quite an old card by today's standards, and if my calculations are correct has been around since the days of the late 4-series kernels.......maybe even a little longer. So any required "fixes" for the nouveau driver would have ...
