Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

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...

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...

Governor :- Mm. There's something not quite right with your set-up. I get the same as Fred; it launches with the older Brave home-page (from several releases back).....and the update warning showing. At this point, I shut it down; run the updater script; get it up-to-date, and launch Brave again. A...

Good grief. I had no idea the Fast Light Toolkit was even still being developed..... As an example, the GUI for VideoView - the tiny webcam app watchdog let me have several years ago, which he kept "in reserve", and which would always work, anywhere, when all else failed! - this was built ...

U BLOCK ORIGIN defeats my reason for using brave-to get away from google. so thx, but no. i tried f'fox with r click, no option either.thx, looks like i can't do it. Um.....y'know, you've lost me. How does using uBlock let Google in? You'll have to explain that one to me, 'cos it's totally the oppo...

Governor :- Coupla points here. With the 'portable' versions of all these Chromium-based browsers, we've disabled the internal update mechanism. Quite simply, if you let that run, it then goes and writes the updated version into the main filesystem as normal, and that's NOT what we want. We want to...

d-pupp :- Yup. Totally different. One router takes care of the lot. If there IS an 'internal' DHCP server, it's very well hidden. Even asking for Settings->Advanced->All (inc 'hidden') shows nothing like it anywhere.... I do get what I suppose could be charitably called a 'Home page'......but no si...

pp4mnklinux :- Um.....heh. Okay... That's NOT the response I was looking for. All I really meant was that you get a bit "over-excitable" sometimes.......you don't always think about what you're posting, OR where you're posting it. It's great to see the enthusiasm, but do please try to kee...

Jasper :- Seriously, mate, you wouldn't believe the places I scout around for software. But I hadn't come across this one, so.....thanks for the link. OcenAudio, I just really like though. I built a portable package using a .deb originally put together for Linux Mint, though I tried most of the oth...

mikewalsh That's what I needed to know. I thought there should be a "configure" in the folder. I just found several instructions for making a .pet and they all had ./configure for the first thing. Any way to make a .pet from .tar.gz's without a configure? The README linked me to stuff tha...

trawglodyte :- I've come across this before myself. Upon closer inspection, you don't look to HAVE a 'configure' file present.......and not all build-systems work like this anyway. There's a huge choice of build-automation stuff out there:- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_build_automation_sof...

.....I set a static ip address on the printer outside the range managed by my dhcp . Reason was if you don't use your printer all the time the address will change if you use dhcp. d-pupp :- See, now THIS is the bit I don't understand. Most folks over this side of the pond tend to stick with ISP-sup...

Yes, I think you are right.....proprietary driver only.....but i remember there was a work around using some network driver manipulation tool, i forgot what it was called. It allowed the use of windows drivers for network cards and other hardware. But I don't think it will work. This is the correct...

Jasper :- Just out of curiosity, where were you getting your OcenAudio sources from? Were these ready-built packages from their website, or were you compiling from source (since I know that's your preferred method)? I've tried the ready-built packages from their web-site, and the only Pups I can ge...

Wall_axe :- Hallo.....and :welcome: to the "kennels". First things first. It will help us to help you IF you can let us have machine specs when posting for help/assistance; desktop? laptop? make. model, CPU, amount of RAM, type of graphics - onboard? discrete?.....that kinda thing. So; if...

@pp4mnklinux You are hijacking the OP's post, you should start another thread. wizard Yes, I agree. IF you want to discuss issues related to Vanilla DPup, please do so in the appropriate section. Consider this a first 'warning', because you're starting to make a habit of this.......and it just anno...

how does the the generated kernel line or puppy stanza in grub.cfg read? This is my stripped down menuentry template. Which can be used by replacing the 4 times it says "BionicPup64_8.0" with whatever you name the folder, and replacing "Puppy" and "eea65cbd-8683-4c1a-850a-9...

Hallo, Bushbuck . Nice to see ya back.....and :welcome: to the "new" Forums"! :thumbup: As you can see, rockedge's forum, while still pHpBB-based, is now the newest version.......and has rather more in the way of features. Looks OK, doesn't it? 2010 eMachines, huh? And one GB..... Hm....

trawglodyte :- Ah. Somebody else who's discovered the benefits of Logitech's c920. Good cam, wouldn't you say? Um....."AudioBox" USB, huh? Wassat? Do you not HAVE an internal card.....or are you running one of these odd little NUCs? Or some other SBC..? Or is this an external sound card? ...

Hm. Audio is not my strong point; I freely admit, where this is involved I tend to build on the work of others. What's the output of arecord -l .....on your system (just out of curiosity)? And, I'm curious; what exactly were you wanting to use OBS for? What d'you envisage doing with it? We may have ...

trawglodyte :- Jeez-us. Even I didn't realise Flatpak was that heavy. I know it's containerised, sand-boxed and isolated/insulated from the OS to the nth degree, but really.....that is just totally OTT. Mind you, it just goes to show the pace of technological progress. Back 3 years, when I was upgr...

Another small update.....just for the fun of it! v1.6 adds an animated GIF icon to the notification dialog. This is now powered by the older "gtkdialog-splash" script; it seems that when the newer "box_splash" script replaced it, it discarded certain abilities from the older vers...

trawglodyte :- Talking of this stuff, I did a normal frugal install of Fossapup64 9.5 to a 32 GB SanDisk Ultra SDHC1 card I snagged out of Tesco, night before last. (Just £6; how cheap is that? :shock: And at that, Tesco will still be making a profit on it...) It's 120 MB/s read speed, shows a &quo...

Dingo :- Aye, to echo t'other Mike it's perfectly safe to clear the cache. The only downside being that, in the short term, webpages will be a wee bit slower to load.......at least until those pages are cached again. An easier way to control this is to add this snippet of code to the end of the 'LA...

@trawglodyte :-

For Bookworm Pup 10.0.4, you'll find links for the DevX and kernel sources in the first post, here:-

viewtopic.php?t=8690

Can't help with 10.0.3. I suspect the previous thread's been replaced by this one.....

Mike.

ozsouth :- Thought I'd give this an outing, mate. I don't have as many Puppies running the official Nvidia drivers now - more running on just nouveau - which gives me somewhat more freedom to try out newer kernels. Working Nvidia drivers mean that I tend to leave that system alone, because even wit...
