Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Tahrpup was my very first fully-working Puppy on ye anciente Dell lappie. 'Twas the first that ran, OOTB, without ANY messing about. At that time, the Dell was running a 2.2 GHz single-core "NetBurst"-gen 'Celery-stick' CPU, and 1 GB of DDR1 RAM. This was an original Inspiron 1100 from 2002, well ...

Hi, Lekium. D'oh! My bad.....I'd forgotten, you're doing this with Virtualbox, aren't you? Mm. Personally, I've never had an awful lot of luck running Pups from a VM. I do know, however, that for a guest OS, running in Virtualbox, to be able to "communicate" with the host OS's hardware, you also ...

I've been running LxPup 32bit version in an Asus EEE901 for number of years. I'd recommended it in terms of functionality and looks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7M67KoTfe9s https://sourceforge.net/projects/lxpup/ :thumbup2: Lekium :- In general, I'd agree with you. I like peebee's Pups; Peter ...

ozsouth :- Huh. I get what you're talking about. Maybe you can see why I've liked Chrome for so many years. I'll not pretend it's "issue-free" (it isn't!), but by & large, the clones ARE pretty reliable.....and their audio/video playback has always been top-notch, so long as they have access to all ...

ozsouth :- Hi, Oz. Curious to know what you mean by 'issues', mate. I admit, being primarily a user of the 'clones' (Chrome, Iron, Vivaldi, etc.), I don't use the 'zilla browsers that much, but I manage to play vids & stuff when I DO fire 'em up. I do have an audio issue when playing any kind of ...

Done, it's back, thank you. Do I need to delete or clean anything after using an appimage, before saving my session and shutting down? I would like to avoid cutter building up and keep my pupsave .sfs lean. Nah, there shouldn't be any need. Anything that runs in /tmp - which AppImages are designed ...

2) Im running this OS from a 16Gb sdcard in a usb adapter. Where can I save .AppImage applications so they run normally without filling my save file? Lekium :- Hallo, and https://i.postimg.cc/N049cvKX/welcome.gif to the 'kennels'. AppImages, hm? They're a favourite of mine, too. As to where to save ...

Wiz57 :- Wiz, what d'you think of jrb's 'Precise-lite' for Tsla's netbook? Either that, or 'vanilla' 571? I'm only suggesting it because it's been recognised for a while now as THE 'go-to' Puppy for resource-starved, older hardware. And PipzDex has shown what it's still capable of if you upgrade ...

Hi, rockedge.

Unnh.....I don't get on with VMs, me. I've tried them over & over again, but they've always ended up creating more issues for me than they solve..!

The suggestion IS appreciated, though.


Mike.

Gawd. How long's a piece of string? :lol: I guess, for day-to-day all-round reliability - and software compatibility - you have to go with the newer ones. For me, my go-to Pup has to be Xenialpup64 7.5 ; absolutely everything works as it should, and I can DO anything I need to with it. Radky's DPup ...

Jake (SFR)'s 'MagDock' does this nicely, giving a full-width 'window' (of selectable depth, and varying levels of magnification) across the top (or bottom - your choice) of the screen. Works very well indeed. Recommended. Find it here:- http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=115930&sid ...

Hi, Dingo. If I run a 32 bit OS on 64 bit machine, can I compile for 32 bit? Not a silly question at all, but, yes.....you can. I won't go into all the technical explanations here, but what not everybody understands is that both 32-bit AND 64-bit are "x86" architecture. The addition that makes "x86 ...

Hallo, cdmain. And https://i.postimg.cc/N049cvKX/welcome.gif to the 'kennels'. As far as Zoom is concerned, I too began by using step's SFS packages.....until I realised they'd been built for FatDog, which runs a bit differently to Puppies. it's also probably way out of date by now, since Zoom are ...

taersh :- Morning, Rainer. Ah. I didn't realise he'd modernised it with Bionicpup64. I don't know what I did differently, but I had one last go at installing it to the HDD.....for some crazy reason, it's booting and behaving itself perfectly now! :D Sod's law, eh? Now I shall have a 'play' with it ...

liogab11 :- Um.....well, we don't really have a 'repo' for much of this stuff, exactly. Some of it's in my own Google Drive & MediaFire a/cs, some in other Puppians. Y'see, this is the thing with Puppy software; when there's a new stable version of Puppy available, each dev will make a 'standard ...

Thanks, Rainer. I've spent hours trying to get this thing to boot on this new HP of mine, and after exhausting every possibility I can think of, I've thrown the towel in. It won't boot from flash drive, it won't boot from HDD. The machine point-blank refuses to "see" it. I've tried in legacy mode ...

Hi, Mochi.

Hm. I see... Point taken!

Seems like I've been labouring under a misapprehension all these years... I'll stick with the direct links in that case.

Thanks for the clarification.


Mike.

Mornin', guys.

Enlighten me, if you will. Does anybody remember what the music OS built by 10wt3ch was called? The one that had its own website, and everything?


Mike.

Morning, Mochi. No, PostImage doesn't care if I do that. I use the thumbnails for one simple reason.....because it saves on rockedge's bandwidth. And especially with full-screen images, where you want to see the whole thing in all its glory; a 1920x1080 image uses quite a LOT of it. As for "clean ...

Evening, boys & girls. Thought I'd show y'all what I've done with Fossapup64 since installing it yesterday morning. Clean:- [Click to enlarge:-] https://i.postimg.cc/PpW5gKw7/Screenshot-51.png .....and "dirty":- [Click to enlarge:-] https://i.postimg.cc/gXF0t1nR/Screenshot-50.png Let's see what you ...

dcung :- If you're using Xenialpup64 - brilliant, solid, reliable Puppy, and my joint go-to 'daily driver' along with jrb's 'lite' spin on BK's Quirky April 701 - give either my Chrome-portable or Iron-portable packages a look (Iron's a total Chrome 'look-alike', and you'll find it very familiar ...

2. Multiboot to XenialPup64. Netflix ok - with Palemoon. I hate to burst your bubble, but that is physically, and code-wise, impossible. Palemoon does not now, and never will, support DRM. Not while humans are born with a hole in their nether regions. This is what I myself was told in no uncertain ...

Evening, kiddiwinks. Here's a package for gKrellM 2.3.11, the latest version of Bill Wilson's masterpiece.....freshly compiled in Fossapup earlier this evening. Those of you who may be interested will know all about how this thing works. Package available from my G.Drive:- https://drive.google.com ...

I think a big part of the reason why Etcher doesn't work in Puppy is that most mainstream distros are looking for the /media directory; this is where they mount external drives to. Puppy, of course, is more "traditional" in this respect, and mounts external drives to the /dev directory.... Balena ...

666philb :- All sorted now, Phil. I'd installed a 64-bit version of 0.72 (yours from Xenialpup64, IIRC) which has worked for me in the past when I've had this issue. Anyway; I removed all traces of DeaDBeeF from the system - it leaves a lot of stuff behind, doesn't it? Like the whole of the plug ...

Hi, Phil. Wish I could say that's fixed it, mate, but all I'm getting is this:- root# deadbeef starting deadbeef 1.8.4 server_start INFO: unlink socket: No such file or directory searching for GUI plugins in /root/.local/lib64/deadbeef searching for GUI plugins in /root/.local/lib/deadbeef searching ...

666philb :- Wooah!! That's tamed the beastie, right enough. Nice one. Well, I'll say this, just as an addendum to this thread. This is so far shaping up VERY nicely, Phil. Thanks for putting the effort in for the 32-bit_compat_libs SFS; I know it's been hard work on this one. But as things stand ...

Palemoon shows it correctly. Curiously, my favourite 'clone', Iron, won't ; although it's up-to-date, the browser insists the certificate is invalid. It all seems to check out, though.... (My bad. I'm forgetting the way URLs work in the clones these days.....you don't bother entering 'http' or https ...

InvalidUsername :- Puppy needs a somewhat different way of installing, due to its unusual file structure. The "frugal" install is preferred; most Puppy software is developed/written/packaged to work from this. Sounds crazy if you're used to traditional Unix, I'll admit, but a 'full' install simply ...

I use Puppy 'cos it's great! It's a great concept. It has a great 'dev' team. It's got a great community, with great support & help. And the greatest thing about it is, you're positively encouraged to contribute back to that community, in whatever way you feel able to. There's absolutely no pressure ...
