Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

fredx181 :- I've done a bit of a re-write here. I have a pair of JvS's 'static' ffmpeg binaries residing permanently at that location - one 32-bit, one 64-bit - and originally I'd built the utility to make use of these via a check on 'uname' and a pair of auto-switcher scripts, but.......in all ...

greengeek :- Here's my 'take' on it....using a YAD-based GUI, and making use of the command I found over at StackOverflow. I accept what you were saying about short video source-clips; for that use-case, your premise of setting 'duration' for the extracted clip - and doing it in seconds - is ...

Right, gang. Here's another of the occasional updates I give this thing.

Opera-portable is now at v112.0.5197.30 (based around Chromium 126).

Download link as in post #1 (note, this has now changed to my SukuDrive a/c).

Enjoy!

Mike.

That is an interesting limitation. I suppose it is possible that a net cam or web cam used as a security camera might produce a video that is longer than 24 hours. greengeek :- Possible.....but doubtful. Most security cam setups don't tend to record continuously at full, normal frame rate. usually ...

clm1919 :- I'm NO expert with this stuff. But if that was me, I'd stick with the FAT32/ext4-formatted card. Simple reason is that all Chromebooks have always been UEFI rather than MBR - I believe this was one of Google's stipulations to manufacturers when the specs originally came out.......and ...

.....and another one to add to the list (for those with relatives hugging Windows tighter than a limpet!) Microsoft 'Teams' now has a purely online version.....accessible through https://office.com .....and clicking the link in the left-hand sidebar. It helps to have a Microsoft a/c; I signed-in ...

Hi Mike I was fairly excited when you popped up on the Porteus and specifically Porteux forum. Hope to see you there more. I think you would find the OS enjoyable and equally Lego-like as Puppy. Vektor Heh. Umm....me & Porteus, it's kind of "on", then "off". I've played around with it a number of ...

The computers with a SD card reader that can boot are usually internally connected to the USB system. Nearly any modern computer can boot from USB. Even the old ones if you say booted PLOP from floppy or cd could boot from usb. Yes; that was the thing I noticed when it began functioning. It showed ...

mouldy :- I amazed myself last night by getting Puppy to boot direct from my HP Pavilion desktop rig's internal SD card-reader. Did you read it? https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=126636#p126636 Which tells me the HP's UEFI/BIOS ain't as crap as I thought.....and also went to show the ...

Ash :- Hallo.....and :welcome: to the "kennels"! I'm not surprised you had no joy using e2fsck. It's designed for checking & repairing Linux filesystems - like ext2/ext3/ext4 . It was never intended to work with FAT32 (vfat)! You do understand what a 'save-file' is, yes? It's a special kind of ...

Hi stemsee A year has gone by and I am curious as to the status of your project. I find the idea very interesting. Vektor vektor_alian :- TBH, I'm really not sure if we'll see stemsee on the forums again. There was something of a bust-up recently, and stemsee insisted he wanted his a/c deleted. He ...

glene77is :- I accept the recommendation, but.....it wouldn't work for me. Personally, that glaring white background hurts my eyes, and makes them pretty sore after a while. Yes, set it to be the "default", by all means - most will be perfectly happy with it! - but alternatives (including the "ne ...

vektor_alian :- WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAANNNNNNND that is just here in Puppyland right? Cause he is everywhere! Heh. I've seen ya lurking around Linux.org, mate, don't think I haven't. They're not a bad bunch over there, either; very friendly and welcoming (just like our gang, really ...

wizard :- Oh, I know, mate.....I know, believe me. I'm back in my daily-driver - the highly-customised, souped-up Xenialpup64. I've unplugged/re-plugged the SD card several times since being back here.....and you know what? It's showing up consistently, now. So are other cards, as well. I'm now ...

clm1919 / wizard :- Well, I've just knocked myself sideways with surprise. I'm gobsmacked; actually, I'm lost for words. I've just done something I thought was impossible on this HP Pavilion desktop rig. As wizard is aware, I've had a USB SD card reader for ages. Bought it what must have been, oh ...

With the addition of @MochiMoppel 's simple "fix"

It's not a "fix", it's a fix - without quotation marks, please

Touché, mon ami...!

Mike.

greengeek :- Now then; how about this? Found it over at StackOverflow. The following command allowed me to cut out a 55-second section from my 'test' video SteadyEddie.mp4 (no; don't ask! :lol: ). You can specify a start time AND an end time (using the format 'hh:mm:ss') :- ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss ...

greengeek :- Thanks for v2 of the GUI script, Ian. With the addition of MochiMoppel 's simple "fix", that's already made this a lot more usable. I can now just drag'n'drop a video in from anywhere in my rather extensive collection, and after figuring out the seconds (!) I know it'll just 'work ...

That would be start time in ;) *seconds," Mike. 1:52 becomes 112. Semme :- Mm-hm. 'Kay, that worked (as far as it went). Hi greengeek. The cli version works great. I needed to remove the spaces from the name first. Thanks Vektor Mm.....'kayyyy. Doing both this AND taking Semme's suggestion into ...

Jamayka24 :- Whoops! Sorry; my bad.....that should have read Tab -> 'Launch'! End result is you get app launchers added to the left side of the tray, in between the Menu and the desktop workspace pager..... :oops: (It's been a while since I've used that tab. I do most of this manually, since I have ...

clm1919 :- It's exactly as bigpup states above. In case you weren't aware, all the time your OS is running, the kernel is using any spare RAM it can find for "caching" (to help make everything start & run faster and smoother), BUT; whenever you want to launch an app, or carry out any operation in ...

Jamayka24 :- Hallo.....and :welcome: to the "kennels"! As stated above:- Menu -> Desktop -> JWMDesk manager Tab -> 'Tray'. Select from the top list; when you click on the app you want, it will be added to the bottom list. You can order these any way you want by using the up/down arrows to the right ...

greengeek :- Neat idea, Ian, but.......for me, at least (can't speak for anyone else), it doesn't actually output a "trimmed" file. Am I getting the input correct? What format is the utility expecting the start-time & duration to be entered as? I tried to cut a short section out of a 'test video' I ...

@oldaolgeezer :-

O-kay. Now; what would the recommended 'workaround' be for those of us using these modern wireless 'mini' keyboards that don't have a PrintScreen key? What d'you think?

Just curious, really....

Mike.

Well, THAT'S a new one.... I've just downloaded it myself, just like m'colleague; from the link in the first post of the main thread. What Puppy are you in? How old is the browser.......is it the current, up-to-date v33.2.1? Where are you trying to download the ISO from? None of us seem to be having ...

clm1919 :- I have a 'portable' build of this (if you're interested). The thread is here:- https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=1640 I apologise for any possible download issues from MEGA.nz; some people here find they can't access it, especially if they're after a new browser, and are ...

@clm1919 :- .....and, as wizard knows, IF you can get a headphone output functional there's no reason why you can't pipe that into a set of external speakers instead. Not quite as "portable", perhaps, but still a way of getting audio working. Mike. :thumbup: of the two KNOWN working (firmware ...

Evening, gang. Right; now then..... Finally, here are the 'portable' builds for the new LTS Thunderbird release - Thunderbird 128.0 esr . Code-named 'Nebula', this boasts a GUI refresh on last year's 'Supernova', and - on the whole - Thunderbird is now getting to look more & more professional with ...

PeteAir :- I gave up bothering with HTML bookmark files in any of the Chromium 'clones' some years ago. I accept that not everybody has as many browsers on the system at any one time as I do (!), but my approach is a bit more 'hands-on'. You go into any Chromium clone's profile - where your ...

clm1919 :- If we are not able to get internal audio on your HP, you can probably use Bluetooth speaker or headphones to get audio. I can do this on my CB's. .....and, as wizard knows, IF you can get a headphone output functional there's no reason why you can't pipe that into a set of external ...
