Mercedes350se :-

Nah, don't give up that quick. Looks like 2 things happened at the same time:-

Seamonkey picked that moment to update.....and it looks like with the new build, they've also upgraded their build environment to one with a newer glibc. I'll investigate, but I think we can fix this ...

Sky Aisling :-

I suspect there's a certain amount of "misunderstanding" at play here.

What you refer to as the CUPS "app" is NOT a separate application at all. What you're seeing with the CUPS "app" @ URL ( http://localhost:631 ) in the browser is simply a graphical representation of the CUPS ...

Mercedes350se :-

For me the 'multi-launcher' is one click too far.

If I click on a seamonkey icon on the screen I want the browser to open. What can I do to change my install to do this?

It's not hard to put it back to how it was.

1. Go into the portable directory.
2. Delete the following ...

@mikewalsh How are doing this fine evening or morning? Dont know exactly what part of the world you're at.

Did you mean you have a PC that you can set bios to either uefi or legacy? And you have it set on legacy and using grub4dos? Yes, that will work. Look at the chart on my first post on this ...

ozsouth :-

Me, I have all my Chromium-based browsers set to open with whatever tabs were showing when I last closed them. And like Wiz57 , I too have the new tab page set to a blank, black page.....with the exception of Opera, which has Speed Dial built-in for the new tab page. And that's handy ...

jenkem_lover189 :-

Stick with a frugal install. It won't affect your media server at all, and it'll make your life easier in terms of installation

^^^ +1.

Seriously, I would go with the standard, *recommended* frugal install. Our Admin, rockedge , runs all kinds of web-servers/test installs ...

jp734 :-

Mm. Okay. Explain this one to me, then....

I'm posting from Tahrpup64 ATM. This is on a 2019 HP Pavilion desktop rig.....with UEFI. Yet I'm running in "legacy" mode, and booting via Grub4DOS.....with custom boot stanzas derived from a formula that Bill ( rcrsn51 ) originally published in ...

step :-

Just to add to this discussion, I've put together a GIMP 3.0 'portable' build using the official AppImage. It does only run for me in BWP64 - this being the newest kennel resident I have ATM. You're welcome to try it if you want, but it's a humungous, full half-gigabyte in size:-

https ...

I have a very new computer that will not boot 32 bit operating systems. Must be 64 bit.

That's most likely to do with the UEFI/boot-loader stuff. It may even be summat to do with the CPU microcode updates, deliberately disabling internal features.......but I've never yet heard of an x86_64 ...

Morning, gang.

All Pale Moon portables are now up-to-date @ the current v33.6.1.

The 64-bit SSE2 portable build is courtesy of Nuck-TH of the Pale Moon community.

The 32-bit portable builds - now " New Moon ".....both SSE2 and SSE-only - are courtesy of our member Fenyo .

Y'all can find the ...

Evening, gang.

Here's the current release.......v134.0.6998.88. Available from the usual link in post #1.

Enjoy.

Mike.

@rockedge :-

Which just goes to prove what I've always maintained.......and that is, if computer hardware is still fully-functional - regardless of age - then there WILL be a use for it. Somewhere.....sometime.....somehow.

Ya got a good deal on those Optiplex's!!

Mike.

@greengeek :-

Ian, what's your output from

arecord -l

Ian showed that already in his post .

Whoops. My bad... :oops:

Quite right, quite right; so he did. So far as I'm aware, you can't actually "set" loopback as an input, can you? AFAIK, it can only be "called" - or used ...

Right, gang.

Now then; following the thread here:-

https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=14048

.....about the long-awaited release of GIMP 3.0.0 , I'm pleased to be able to offer a "portable" build of this. DO be aware of two things:-

So far as Puppies are concerned, this basically works ...

@greengeek :-

Ian, what's your output from

Code: Select all

arecord -l

...please? This'll let us see what cards you DO have on the system.

BTW: What should "card 1" be on your system? What would you expect it to be showing as..?

Mike.

vtpup :-

This is why I usually make my AppImage names as short as possible, Steve.....AND remove the '.AppImage' extension completely. If that was me, I'd rename that to just "gSender64". If it's going to run, it'll run......trust me!

Most of the long-winded names they give these things are for ...

Sky Aisling :-

I really shouldn't be surprised at this attitude. The LibreOffice team, like all other devs everywhere else, are determined that you should use the "latest & greatest" build of their masterpiece. TBH, they don't understand why you WOULDN'T want to avail yourself of the very newest ...

fredx181 :-

Lovely piece of work, Fred, as always. We eventually figured out a way to get my webcam showing as an audio input; the ridiculous thing was that we had to first send the arecord -l output to a /tmp file, THEN read it into the command. Piping the output direct, it simply didn't "see" it ...

Steve91 :-

Hm. I'm really surprised to hear of your misfortunes with the Dell. Normally, they're as reliable & fuss-free as the day is long.

I have a relatively powerful modern HP desktop rig, but I also always keep an older, second-hand lappie in the front room for when I keep my 91-yr old ...

Yup. +1 on the GTK3 stuff.....and Jasper's info probably doesn't help, either. Most of my "kennels" are around the glibc 2.28-2.31 range.

For myself, I doubt I shall bother upgrading. The v2.10.25 AppImage (from HERE ) does everything I could possibly want from it, so I'll be sticking with that for ...

Taylor :-

Y'know, call me "thick" if ya like, but......why is WINE even being used here in the first place? I've read through the thread, but I'm still none the wiser.

TIP:- Do NOT install browsers from the PPM. This is an absolute no-no. It's the way things are done in every other distro, I know ...

Evening, gang.

I only got the idea for this last night. It kept me awake most of the night, too, 'cos I couldn't put it out of my head & settle down..... :roll:

I've been helping Fred modify and improve the new Take A Cast! screen capture app. This is a further refinement to his already inspired ...

Sky Aisling / mikeslr :-

About the location LibreOffice saves files to: My best guess is that it defaults to offering to save to the last location used and since you hadn't used it yet, it defaulted to it's home=portable's folder. I just tried the following: Saved a new 'junk' file I named steed ...

If it's too good to be true, it probably is.

The car is a Merc G-Wagen, $300000+
The bag is an Hermes Birkin, $20000+
The outfit is probably similarly exxy
The girl is pretty, but a little generic - like a model perhaps

If the photo's of a model, that's not her.
If it is of her, and she's ...

The reluctance for people (in general) to acknowledge the obvious astounds me.

Lurker here, but can't resist the urge to chime in. Allow me to state "the obvious" ...

In a nutshell, you want to use rox in double-click mode, while simultaneously expecting rox to operate in a quasi single ...

Steve91 :- Hallo.....and :welcome: to the new "kennels".

I was woundering if RG66 or PhilB would be kind enough to write us a tutorial on how to do this? (Owing to the fact that no one else can set X pups up like RG66)

Ya might be outta luck there. PhilB has been MIA since early '21, and rg66 ...

Jasonbc :-

See, this is the number one issue with the internet. Anyone can make up and use any identity they like.....frequently, individuals will create & use multiple different IDs.

That's all well & good, but the big snag is this: If you're going to interact with any number of different people ...

bigphil :-

Fixed the link in mikeslr's post. It's the correct link.....but the first URL tag was in the wrong place. It now works.

Give WINE_10.0-portable64 a try. Now that v10 of 'wine-staging' has morphed into 'wine-stable', WINE 10.0 is a lot more usable than it was; the initial build was ...

Small change to the portable WINE.

From WINE 10.0 onwards, these will now be packed as a ROX-app. Simply click on the portable directory, and you now get a wee GUI that asks if you wish to 'Link' to or 'Unlink' WINE from your Puppy.

I just thought it'll save noobs from trying to figure out how to ...

mikeslr :-

Haven't tried your "10", but your 9.2 version still available from the OP link runs fine. I was even able to open InfoCentral an early XP application.
I'm not sure what default Windows version it configures for, and forgot if I set it. Don't think so. But there doesn't seem to be a ...
