Is there a 32 bit version for bionicpuppy? I'm trying this pets and sfs but not lucky enough to run it :?: lazycat :- If you don't mind a somewhat older version, here's an "all-in-one" version of Avidemux 2.5.2 - self-contained with everything required to run. It was put together, some time ago, by ...

Mike3 Your wording is a bit hard to get? Who are you calling "hobby developers"? FYI, oui is from the French/German border area. English is something like his 3rd (or 4th) language, and I believe he makes liberal use of Google Translate. We're all used to how he communicates by now, but it does ...

Hallo, maoo. And https://i.postimg.cc/N049cvKX/welcome.gif to the "kennels". I'll echo taersh; there's plenty of other, "easy" ways to install software in Puppy apart from Snaps (which are a Canonical 'special', anyway). And agree with t'other Mike; unless you have a pressing need for a 32-bit ...

just to update on my brave install in my main PC, with Bionicpup64 after a frugal install. I have found downloads are problematic. With the main brave folder in /opt with application launcher brave-pup in /usr/bin linked back to the /opt/brave. The brave browser work as expected (fast), but I get a ...

cobaka :- Les:- I'm no expert on this stuff, and I'll be the first to admit it, an' all! However; I take it you are aware that processes/scripts, etc, that are run within a given shell are only 'active' while that shell is open , yes? I.e., you close the shell, and then re-open a new instance ...

It seems I posted the wrong title; fixed it. But while I don't mind hearing your opinion, it gives me the feeling that PL is the Toki Pona of Linux distros- keeping everything simple. I was just hoping if old computers are in the community's long-term interests, and I certainly got the answer ...

gychang :- Mm. Looks like a Dell of some description. A Dimension, or one of the 'business-class' Latitudes..? From the piccie, that does look like ExpressCard rather than CardBus. The slot's a bit too deep for CardBus, which had slimmer measurements.... Well, research shows that USB 3.0 is more ...

mistfire :- Rebuild older puppy to boot on UEFI? There is some changes to be made. 1. Xvesa and Xorg vesa drivers won't work on UEFI because of BIOS 10H interrupt doesn't exist on UEFI. You must force to run Xorg using fbdev driver. 2. Its puppy installer and old grub don't ever work for internal ...

Sky Aisling :- The notice referenced was only from Cobaka. I've received no notices of all your other responses. That's just one of the advantages of this new forum software. Lots more tricks..! You'll get a notification for this post, and if you look at it, you'll see that your name is in red at ...

Hi, Greg. Now; when you say "Express card slot", what are you actually referring to? Are you talking about a bigger version of an SD card slot.....an external slot you can plug a card into? Or are you talking about an internal slot, usually accessed from behind a 'door' or cover..? The latter are ...

Mike3 :- If you want to, you can do as a number of us do, and run 'portable' versions of a lot of browsers, instead. It's an easy way to keep 'em completely self-contained, and you can move 'em, and run 'em, from anywhere you like ( outside of the save-file/folder. naturally!) I've just upgraded ...

Afternoon, gang. To keep this thread up-to-date, potential users need to be aware that Pale Moon, like so many open-source projects, has now dropped 32-bit builds and officially gone 64-bit only. There are, however, a handful of "approved" 3rd-party 32-bit builds which are endorsed by the head of ...

In the normal course of things, Nic, yes. But NOT using Ventoy. Not for me, anyroad.....and not for want of trying pretty well every option I can think of.

Mike:- The ONLY difference I can see with Acrobat DC is that it in fact lives in "the cloud", in the same manner as most Adobe software now does. This allows the user to 'share' - and work on - stuff between multiple devices, if necessary. I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's running on a ...

The "classic" Slacko 570 from Micko won't run on here.....but Sailor's re-spin, Slacko 571, will.....and guess what? Yup, it uses that efi.img thing. Hi Mike, did you get any clarity about what is different between these two otherwise similar pups? Were they different kernels? Hi, Ian. To answer ...

wanderer :- Just come across another one in the "store-cupboard"! This is a 32-bit build of 3.0.6 "Vetinari"; I believe it's one of watchdog's 'experimental' builds, though don't quote me on that.....a lot of Puppians were doing experimental builds when the 3-series came out. It has "chroot" in the ...

As far as I'm aware, you can't do anything with this, Sky. It's for Windows, Mac and Android ONLY . And the installer "stub" crashes before it can even connect to the download servers. I'm in DPup 'Stretch' ATM, and that's what has just happened..... Might work with the newest version of WINE. I use ...

It's all in the eye of the beholder, isn't it? And rockedge's comments about finances factor into it, too.... I guess most of you know about ye anciente Dell lappie at this point in time; P4-powered, and nearly 2 decades old by now. A gig-and-a-half of RAM. Upgrades have included a 64GB PATA SSD ...

I doubt you could simply transplant the whole thing from one Pup to another..... Transplant finished, patient still alive. I just exchanged an old ROX-Filer (vintage 2013 from my Slacko5.6) with a new one (stolen from DpupStretch) and everything seems to work fine, incl. Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V. Of ...

vtpup :- You'll find the newer, Qt5-based 2-series Openshots are designed to offload the rendering grunt-work to a discrete graphics card, if installed. Since I've had this much newer HP Pavilion desktop, with a Pentium 'Gold' G5400 @ 3.7 GHz - "quad-core" is via two cores with H/T - 16 GB DDR4 ...

@ swhnk-puppy:-

The very fact that even Windows won't boot unless the Mint HDD is plugged-in suggests to me that boot priority has somehow become transferred to whatever boot-loader you have on the Mint hard drive.....

I could of course be wrong.


Mike.

@ Nightknight2:- Right. Sounds like you're not a fan of drag'n'drop! What you need is one of the more traditional file mangers. You're in the 'buntu Puppy 'tree', so something like Lubuntu's PCManFM file manager, or Xubuntu's Thunar , should be available for install via your PPM. If you want to ...

However, the issue with some of them is they do not support this very new hardware. Some just never make it to a desktop. Some boot to a working desktop, but may not have sound, wifi, printer, network, etc...... working. Probably could work if I took time installing needed support stuff. Yah; I ...

rockedge :- Ah! Okay; fair enough. (I wasn't certain what that was for, although BC does employ a similar kind of mechanism.....it tends to get used a lot by members who fancy themselves as would-be moderators..! :lol: :lol: :lol:) We've got a small but determined bunch who, TBH, do a lot of our ...

rockedge :- Once again, I mention it... https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=3824#p3824 We get flooded with the stuff over at BleepingComputer. Some days, we seem to do nothing BUT deal with spam over there. Much as we would like to believe it, the Puppy Forum is NOT immune.... We really ...

wanderer :- I've no idea if this will be of any use to you. I've just uploaded another one to the Drive directory Darren linked to in the first post. I cannot remember where I obtained this from; I don't recall if I downloaded it from somewhere else, or if it was a "by-product" of my experimenting ...

Afternoon, guys & gals. Got a wee treat for y'all.....and this one WILL, I think, be appreciated. Some of you may remember my messing around with a CPU-Z equivalent for Linux a couple of years back, called I-Nex . Yes, it did a sterling job of doing what it was built to do.....but to get a 2 MB ...

@ bigpup/rockedge:- I confess - having slept on it! - that this is one of those perennial "issues" that will never go away. @ rockedge:- I have to agree with this point. I've always found - more so since moving over to Linux, despite that it's always been about keeping older hardware useful - that ...

The more important question is why do you want to use that old a Puppy Version? The newer Puppy versions will work better, have updated and bug fixed Puppy core programs and files, give better support to the newest versions of Browsers, etc..... Any version of Puppy will work on old legacy bios ...

Openshot runs okay on my Puppy machines as a flatpak but no comparison to the smoothness that I get with WeeDog64-Void or WeeDog64-Arch running openshot installed from those distro's package manager. Again! Why is Flatpak a better way to package a program???? :roll: :? @ bigpup:- I don't believe ...
