Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I think, TBH.....ISO9660 formatting 'issues' aside......it simply boils down to the fact that traditionally, the 'save' - -file OR -folder - is usually placed directly alongside the Pup/Dog/whatever install (certainly upon 'first run'). You can always re-locate the save if you need to.......I've don...

trawglodyte :- I haven't really wrapped my head around a .pet already compiled for your kernel yet though. Those other methods compile the driver for your kernel on the spot. It would be kind of hard for me to tell anybody to click the .pet without making sure nouveau was disabled first, even if th...

trawglodyte :- I think that for most people, things they want to start or run at boot, or as soon after as possible, they're happy with these in /root/Startup. From what I understand of it, however, for stuff you need to run as early as you can, /etc/init.d or /etc/ modprobe.d seems to be the way t...

Nice one, @wizard !

That's taught this old dog a coupla new things, an' all. Sweet.

.....and having re-built my Xenialpup64 recently to use Fossa's k5.4.53 kernel, along with a jump from glibc 2.23 to Busterpup64's 2.28, I thought, "Just for the hell of it, why don't I see if Phil's nVidia .pet - built for this same kernel! - will install/run here in Xenial64? Yeah; go for it....

trawglodyte :- O-kay. I've done a bit of experimenting, and figured out what PhilB did with Fossapup64's offered Nvidia driver. I 'installed' the Nvidia driver to Bionicpup64 some time ago via shinobar's GetNvidia; all very straight-forward, as I recall. I wanted to see if I could reproduce that on...

trawglodyte :- I'd agree with ETP on the point he made further back up the page. Where I originally said you'd need the DevX and kernel-sources for installing via shinobar's GetNvidia, that WAS perfectly true.....because when running GetNvidia you ARE "building" the modules yourself at th...

greengeek :- I got sent to a "church" school, and had religion rammed down my throat between the ages of 8 and 18, whether I wanted it or not. Ever since , I haven't had the time of day for it.....though I won't deny, it does appear to hold an important place in the lives of many. Doesn't...

trawglodyte :- With regard to "How much RAM is TOO much?", umm..... When I first started with Puppy 10 years ago, I was using an elderly Compaq Presario desktop, built just before the HP buyout that relegated Compaq to just a model name in HP's line-up. A sad end for an innovative company...

(And MEGA are constantly changing the way the site works, so it's entirely possible this version of rclone no longer functions with it.) Perhaps needs latest rclone version ? (https://github.com/rclone/rclone/releases/tag/v1.65.1) fredx181 :- Mm. That would kinda defeat the object of the excercise,...

Trapster :- Nice idea, buddy.....but the issue I have here is that MEGA will ONLY accept my user password actually on their site (something to do with encryption, I believe?) All attempts to enter it remotely thru the terminal fail, because it refuses to accept any input... Or should I choose the &...

.....or even dropping support for X.Org (like RHEL 10). And that's IT, TBH. In a nutshell. Whether we like it or not, RHEL dictates the direction of Linux development.....probably because their devs contribute more to Linux kernel & infrastructure development than everybody else combined. And, ...

@Jasper :-

Thanks, mate, but I've given up on that idea. Fred's package works brilliantly well for my Google Drive a/c; out of the remaining two, MediaFire isn't supported, and MEGA won't let me connect. So THAT'S a "bust"...!

Mike.

ozboomer :- O-kayyy..... We're getting horribly "off-topic" here, but I'm just going to respond to 2 of your points before dropping it. 1 ) Re; the need to 'sync' a Google a/c in Chrome. Why? Where's the need? Think about it..... IF you run the Puppy Chrome-portable.......and you run it f...

See this post about combining raster/bitmap and vector graphics, https://www.forum.puppylinux.com/viewto ... 42#p108642

Mike.

ozboomer :- It's entirely up to you where you put it. As a true, self-contained portable app it will literally run from anywhere. With a small package like LaZPaint, it'll make hardly any difference......but I definitely recommend this for things like the browsers.....where the browser itself is pr...

I have an old 7-port USB 2.0 hub, which has its own power supply. I've never had problems booting any Puppy from it, whether 4-, 5-, 6-, 7-, 8-series.......or newer. But my situation is different, I'll own. Apart from the USB 2.0 port that hub is plugged into, this HP Pavilion also has 3 other USB 2...

bigpup :- Oh, it's not necessarily a scammer at work. It could just as easily have been what we over this side of the "the Pond" refer to as a 'Friday afternoon job', when everybody's impatiently waiting for knocking-off time......and QC just goes out the window! ( shrug.... ) I'm not too...

bigpup :- This one:- https://www.amazon.co.uk/PNY-512GB-Elite-X-Flash-Drive/dp/B088RMCCLR/ref=sr_1_2?crid=VI0UG7TXF9QQ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.S9dTi-acGqqz89_k0KqThy2oTsRNvbbvVo_0GdtzL_6seovhhpgHFEPQwkJ1Iw2GscMjN1uOCqTPkLiwfLpBefRL_PbhFM9Fhtu1GthGTR4N0TxtqoQuje-5kspSqaIUPV3YRtxZfuUC0Gh-xklRUw.QIRh_qlc...

I've solved the issue, guys. I've binned the damn thing. I formatted it back to FAT 32, and tried transferring some files. SLOW is not the word; a snail could beat this thing even with a half-hour's head start. Definitely crap. I don't mind doing this for one simple reason. I bought this with an Ama...

wizard :- Yah, I'm thinking along the same lines, buddy. If you plug it in, then open gParted, it doesn't even show as a named specific drive.......just a 'generic' "USB DISK 3.0". I went for one of these because the connector IS metal. With the SanDisks, the whole thing, connector as wel...

Strange indeed. What happens with ext4? rockedge :- No idea, Erik. I'm loathe to try, 'cos if it follows the same pattern as this one, it could be running overnight and STILL not be done. What would YOU do? This could be a 'dodgy' drive.....and I could be nearly £50 down. Bugger! The trouble is, wi...

trawglodyte :- Mm.....nearly, but not quite right. With msdos, you can have up to 4 primary partitions. You CAN have more, but you need to turn one of those 4 partitions into what's called an "extended" partition.....following which you then create "logical" partitions inside of...

Afternoon, gang. Well, I've got a mystery on my hands, guys. I took delivery of a brand-new PNY 'nano'-sized USB 3.1 512 GB flash drive this morning. I want to use it to free-up a spare USB port on the Latitude laptop. It's got 4 ports; one occupied by a webcam; one has a 3-way hub with mouse'n'keyb...

Wall_axe :- Ok. Perusing your other thread, I'm assuming this is Fossapup64, yes? And you say you have a maximum space limitation of 4 GB, yes? This tells me that you've created a save- file .....which is the old way of doing things. Any reason why you didn't create a save- folder .....or were you ...

Afternoon, gang. I'd forgotten all about this one! I built these nearly a year ago, with the intention of testing for a bit, then uploading and posting about them.......but until ozboomer posted in the Pinta-portable thread just a couple of days ago - he wanted a very small image editor, and Pinta's...

ozboomer :- Ah, hell. I'm really sorry about that.......I forgot to include the link to to my 'portable' version. v7.1.6 I tested under a whole bunch of Puppies, and it seems to run anywhere. Not much good my mentioning it, and then not letting you try it, is there? You can find the v7.1.6 portable...

ozboomer :- Um.....O-kay. If you want small, you could always take a look at the LaZPaint-portable. https://lazpaint.github.io/ It's like a really, really tiny lightweight 'cross' between the GIMP and Krita......with shades of CinePaint thrown in for good measure. Tarball's a little over 3MB, unpac...

@mikewalsh

The toolkit is useful for Raspberry Pi applications.

@Jasper :-

I might have a 'play' with this. See what it's like for GUIs compared to, say, YAD (which I use all the time).

Mike.

Got a download link for it? bigpup :- FLTK.....or VideoView? VideoView may not be much use to you now. It was built back in the mid-2000s, apparently, hasn't been updated for many years, and was only EVER 32-bit. If you're running the 32-bit compat_libs for any reason (which I do, for various older...
