Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I could be way "off-base" here, but I have a funny feeling about this. I'm half-expecting to see the "under maintenance" message still showing in a week's time.... When was the last time someone was able to login to the murga forum? Can't be certain, but I think I last 'looked-in...

Evening, guys. Since ATM I'm none too sure yet if Murga-Linux is coming back online again, I thought I'd post a bunch of links for my "portable" Chromium-based 'clones'. At least you can help yourselves if you want any of these, if nothing else! Brave browser:- https://drive.google.com/dri...

Ah, yes. The "ProSilver 'Special Edition'", if I'm right.....I think?

@ musher0:- Under your username, top right, go to User Control Panel → Board preferences → My board style, and choose "prosilver special edition". That's the alternative theme.

A bit of a shock when you see the message. I'm hopeful it's a positive sign. Me too, mate. Keep your fingers crossed. but if the worst comes to the worst, well.....it's not really "the worst", if you think about it. Here we have a brand-new, up to date modern forum, and good old Ally's sa...

Original Puppy Forums now "Under maintenance", so... Came here, joined as new member, was sent an activation email, clicked the link, it worked, and here I am. :D How's that for a 73-year-old? @ Sylvander:- I see I'm not the only one who's noticed this; I'm just wondering if it is "m...

Afternoon, all. I'm posting this here simply because I don't know whether this shows the Murga-Linux site is still being actively maintained - where are you, John? - or whether the site has finally "gone down". On the afternoon of the 11th July, 2020, instead of being able to log in to the...

@ rockedge:- Nah; it's not the site, mate. It's doing it in every browser, on every web page. This is a relatively new install of Bionicpup64.....my first 'stable' install since last year's 'betas' finally made it up to 8.0 status. My sole 64-bitzer has been Xenial64 in the meantime... I'm thinking ...

Just joined up many thanks Rockedge. Interesting that email on my gmail.com in spam. Anyway glad to be at this forum. :) @ Darry:- Rockedge is probably right about making sure to use the http s URL.....and it kinda 'gels' with what WiZ was saying in the other thread about GMail 'bouncing' requests ...

Hello Mike! I will be making more of a concentrated attempt to procure the sql data we'll need to perform the upgrade. I would set up a database and file structure that contains all the attachment files from the original murga forum with that forum's data and files on the same host server as the ne...

I'll say one thing here. I agree, fans of any particular Puplet/derivative/ whatever would of course like to see more space devoted to their particular 'favourite'. But let's be realistic about this; if that concession were to be extended to every single Puppy variant out there, you would immediatel...

@ rockedge:-

Any 'thoughts' yet as to how to import the SQL database(s)? Have you asked Flash to see if he can contact John, and explain what we're attempting to do?


Mike.

I run a thread over at BleepingComputer, in the Unix & Linux sub-forum, entitled 'Puppy Linux Corner'. I'm going to add a post, to let 'em know that we may soon be moving into the 'modern age', at long last..! I shall stress , however, that this is still very much in the 'experimental & test...

Well, we got there.....eventually! I'm not sure how rockedge has done this, but it definitely doesn't recognise my old Murga account. So, as y'all can see, I've had to create a new one. It only wanted to accept the name as you see; capitals were out, spaces were out, underscores were out..... :roll:...
