Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Huh. You're still on the same old track, aren't you, oui? Wanting the very newest, brand spanking-new up to date Puppies, built to run on ancient, low-powered hardware......and you're obviously of the opinion that constantly rabbiting-on about it will make people eventually take you seriously? Get ...

LeithR :- Leith, I think you'll find greengeek was on the right track. According to an article I've just found on t'internet:- https://www.recovery-android.com/pictures-tored-on-android.html .....Android phones in general save captured images to the DCIM folder (short for D igital C amera IM ages ...

nvidia drivers are in quickpet .... getnvidia works to an extent but really needs updating to work properly. the .sfs files don't work without some tweaking and it misses some more modern stuff. so use the .pets in quickpet 666philb :- Right you are; OK. I take it the pets are install & re-boot ...

666philb :- just a thought mike, if you are using your posh computer with the nvidia card the default nouveau driver has been an absolute pain getting it to work nice with fossapups compositor with all sorts of quirks popping up including certain gtkdialogs crashing. installing the nvidia driver is ...

hi mikewalsh, are you using an old save? Hi, Phil. Nope, it's a first-ever run. Only just created a save-file for the first time, mate. Curious. Trying dogFellow's suggestion:- ppm ...in the terminal, it starts. Go into usr/local/petget, click on pkg_chooser.sh, it starts. Go into /usr/share ...

Morning, guys'n'gals. Now then. What's up with the PPM in Fossapup64? I go to start it, I get the wee splashbox saying 'Loading.....', and that's it. Splashbox sits there for ever, and nowt happens. I may have missed this in the old thread, but I haven't really got time to peruse 25+ pages of posts ...

What do you do if you do not want Firefox to be the default browser? If the Puppy version does not have any apulse in it? what do you need for apulse to work? My solution? Use the Firefox-portables. They have apulse built in, and are set to make use of it so long as you fire it up from the launch ...

@mike - what are the outputs of lspci -nn | grep etwork and dmesg | grep -i firmware Mornin', Oz. Now; d'you want me to try that with a 'clean' BB64? Or do you want a 'working' version? If you want a 'working' version, I'll have to restore from backup. I'll have to dig around in the back of my ...

Hallo, Bill. Well; I won't be doing anything with the existing install, because I've already wiped it off the disk! Frankly, I'm tired of fighting it, and I'd had enough. - SNS wouldn't behave itself. - Frisbee wouldn't behave itself. - 'Dougal's' wouldn't behave itself. I haven't tried any others ...

I have to concur with 6502coder. Slacko 5.7/570 was built with Glibc 2.15. Firefox has now been compiled to work against, and require, a minimum of Glibc 2.17. Short answer is quite simple. Either you switch to a browser with lower requirements.....or you need to upgrade to a newer version of the ...

It seems a real shame to have to report this, but I'm giving up on Bionicpup64. And NOT for want of trying, either... I started using BB64 a couple of years ago, back when I still had the old Compaq tower. Despite the relatively low specs of the Compaq, it ran very sweetly. And then come January ...

Also worth noting, you can do a manual kernel change by simply replacing vmlinuz and zdrv.sfs with those from a downloaded kernel which you can find in the additional software section of the forum. ^^^ +1. :thumbup: Just remember this will work with any Pup, really, from approx Tahrpup onwards ...

Hello, barath.....and https://i.postimg.cc/N049cvKX/welcome.gif to the 'kennels'. No, I too cannot imagine what you did to duplicate your partition. However, you cannot delete sda2, because if it IS somehow linked to sda1, then Puppy is seeing it as an 'active', system partition......and you CANNOT ...

stuff added from the zip started from the no sandbox portable install fatdog811 with a lot of errors in the starting terminal but it still gets there Mm-hm. Those aren't errors, y'know.....not as such. Right from day one, the Chromium-based browsers were always designed to have a "live", on-going ...

Hello, Mochi. The Pups I mostly build these to work with are the long-term, stable ones; Xenialpup64 7.5 & Bionicpup64 8.0 for 64-bit, and DPup Stretch 7.5 for 32-bit. Works without issues in DPup Stretch 7.5 . Thanks! Wooo..! At long last... Thank you for being patient & sticking with it. I knew ...

Mm. Interesting... I have an ancient Nokia Asha; still fully functional....everything still works A-OK. (Small screen, physical QWERTY keyboard to make texting easier, that kinda thing). Even the Asha appears to have a bunch of settings that control how the micro-USB port operates. I thought these ...

Leith, there's a couple of other possibles. Instead of a direct cable connection, let's think "outside the box", shall we? Most smartphones utilise Bluetooth. You could transfer across to your computer via Bluetooth, if you happen to have it. The other way, if your phone uses a microSD card for ...

I would think, rather, that it's got summat to do wi' the fact that a Raspberry Pi uses an ARM processor.....RISC operation, completely different way of doing things, y'know? Usually, frequency scaling is more about getting the things to run cooler where possible, as much of the time as you can ...

Evening, guys'n'gals. VidCutter 6.0 AppImage from ozmartian Some of you may remember my waxing lyrical about this thing a couple or three years back. Early versions ran fine in Tahrpu64 and Slacko64 630. As the versions progressed, however, the dependencies started stacking up, and it was getting so ...

Clarity :- What went in the PM was purely personal 'chat', since we've discovered we live very close. I rather think, after knocking around forums/bulletin boards for over a quarter of a century, that I'm well aware of what benefits a community.....probably more than most. Personal stuff just ...

Thanks Mike I gave that a lot of thought. I'm sure it would have worked. But I decided to go with my original plan. Making the new USB bootable and set up the same (which has gone wrong for me in the past) is handled by the Puppy installer. Then saving away the new installation files and copying ...

I have been using Bionic Pup full install for quite a while,, no file corruptions yet,, other than the fact its just plain different, I'm quite impressed. See, Linux MINT 20, the latest Ubuntu,and LMDE4 all have terrible issues that force me to use my full install of Puppy. Only place it falls ...

Do I need virus protection with BIONIC PUP.? DixieDog :- TBH, you don't really need AV with ANY Linux distro, never mind Puppy.....though Pup is, to some extent, safer than most due to to the way in which she functions. Old habits die hard, and Windows refugees have the whole AV/malware thing so ...

@greengeek:-

Ian, here's a generic version of YAD 0.40, which I've used successfully with Slacko 5.6.0.....if you're interested. Can't remember which Pup I compiled it in, but it works with most of 'em. Your 'native' version will be a LOT older than this.


Mike.

That output you got when running winecfg looks totally wrong. So, I do not think you got Wine installed correctly. Bionicpup64 8.0 is installed how? Full or frugal? Installed on what device? USB, hard drive, SD card, CD/DVD? If frugal or live install on a USB or CD/DVD. Have you rebooted making a ...

quasar :- Part of the problem may stem from the fact that you're using WINE64. This doesn't refer to your using it in a 64-bit Linux distro, BTW. Most of us tend to 'load' the 32-bit_compat_libs.sfs package:- http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet_packages-bionic64/32bit_compatibilty_bionicpup64 ...

@vtpup:- Just as an aside - bearing in mind your own description of CUPS 'oddities' over the years! - I too have had to follow some slightly unorthodox procedures at times. I'm a long-standing fan of Epsons; never bothered trying anything else, 'cos they're so amazingly reliable. A bit on the ...

Hmm, a machine that old, with that little RAM, you may not be able to boot a newer Puppy. You might be able to boot one of the derivatives, such as TazPup or CorePup, maybe even a Slackware based one, Try ScPup 32. However, getting it installed and booted may be all it will do, don't know if I ...

Guys, aren't we making this out to be harder than it really is..? (Don't take that the way it sounds; no criticism intended here..! :D) In my experience, if the OP intends to use the exact same hardware again, I would prepare/format the new flash drive first, then I would simply copy the entire ...

quasar :- Hello, and https://i.postimg.cc/N049cvKX/welcome.gif to the 'kennels'. WINE. Mmm..... Much of what Bigpup has said is true. Now; when you say "Every try fell dead", what are you telling us? That you don't see a Menu entry for the app? Or that it failed to install? As stated, WINE does not ...
