Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Chelsea80 :- It boils down to one thing. Everybody else in the Linux eco-sphere has decided this is the way to go (once again, meekly following RedHat's decision). Because of this, in a few years time, you won't be able to download one piece of open-source software from anywhere that isn't written ...

Yes I agree that we are not singled out. Part of it is faulty program code in the Bots that seem to get hung up like the Knowledge AI Bot which only works with http: and will just begin to open thousands of page requests repeatedly without moving on to another target. Yah. And that's an issue that ...

Back to normal again, here. My thoughts on the matter are NOT that we were singled out on purpose, more that we were simply latched-onto purely at random.......just to see what would come of it. I don't really sense any malicious intent aimed specifically at this community; I just can't see a small,...

For info: Both download links from @PipzDex above work for me (without being logged in). Yes, they work fine for me, logged-in or not. Wiz57 :- Now I'm in a better mood (the sciatica is giving me hell this morning; makes me short-tempered, I'm afraid :lol: ), I doubt bigpup was having a go at me pe...

fredx181 :- Never had any problems accessing your stuff, Fred.....whether I'm logged-in or not. Might be a geographical thing, why bigpup is having issues. I really couldn't say. I do know he's not the first to mention it, which is partly why I started utilising the other two cloud a/cs more... (*s...

Yup; have to agree. I've never seen it this bad before. And it's ONLY the Puppy Forum. Every other site is loading fine.....

Average of 45-60 seconds PER page.

bigpup :- (Deleted violated terms of this forum) I don't use the Google drive very much these days anyway. It's now mostly older stuff, that not many people want any longer. I MAY need to start deleting stuff in any case, because I haven't got a lot of free space left there now. (deleted) I've star...

vtpup :- Well, it's good to hear you're happy with it. Don't thank me, however; the real work here was done by mmtrt , who built the AppImage.......and ultimately, of course, the boys & girls at Wine HQ who have been some real 'busy beavers' this last couple of years. As always, I just try to p...

mouldy :- I don't know about "Big Brother knows best'. It's more a case of the 'ruling elite' of the Linux world have got this bee in their bonnet about needing to log-in to your own system - on your OWN MACHINE, too! - as being the ONLY way anyone should be allowed to run. It's more along the...

Thanks Mike I've installed the 9.3 Wine portable, and really like it! Is it doing what you wanted it to do ? Most of my own Windoze apps are still 32-bit, though I do find the occasional one that insists a 64-bit is available, and to please install that instead. And then it quits on me..... At leas...

vtpup :- You would be better off using one of the current 9-series, Steve. I've put together a 'portable' version of WINE 9.3, and when the 'prefix' is created for these, they have the ability to handle both 32-bit AND 64-bit programs.....due to the inclusion of the SysWOW64 stuff. https://i.postim...

MPXY :- Well, since I'm the offending individual who put this one together(!), I suppose I ought to try and help troubleshoot your problem. Having said as much, however, all I did was to construct an easy-to-use GUI 'wrapper' around a core script that was long since developed by others that do actu...

@peppyy :-

Well, at least you're getting somewhere now. Keep us posted, please; I'll be interested to see what the outcome of all this is!

Mike.

Old computer based on Intel core duo 2. Installed Ubuntu successfully but would fail to boot and drop out into grub. Using DVD live boot in puppy, I Reformatted disk with first 300m as boot with ext4 and the rest a partition with ___ and loaded puppy in the boot area.. Bios does not have option to ...

wizard :- Aye, I agree. Your test results even trump my primary SATA SSD, which regularly hits 500MB/s on read speeds. I wouldn't mind doing something like this with the Lat, but I doubt any of the other components would 'play nice'. And I don't know of anyone that makes such adapters for laptops.....

With earlier versions 11.1 and 11.2 enabling DRM (setting up Widevine) worked, not with the newest version 11.3.2 . Only works if you had enabled DRM on older version already (and updated to 11.3.2) , so that it is installed in the profile folder, not when you start with v11.3.2 "fresh". ...

Does Puppy show desktop drive icons for the drive? Yes, for me it does ok on FossaPup and BookwormPup. (but names are a bit truncated because of the name length, I guess) What name on the icon is given for the drive? For me as "nvme0n1p1" "nvme0n1p2" etc.. (compared with sda1 sd...

wizard :- Added note that some bios will not recognize the adapter as a boot device wizard Now that's what I was wondering about. I had a similar issue, some years ago, before external USB 3.0 HDDs were fully recognised by adapters. I added a PCI-e to USB 3.0 adapter card into ye ancient Compaq des...

Clarity :- Um.....okay. You've lost me. Do me a favour, would you? When you say:- ...RAM was standardized in 2006... ....what do you mean by "standardized" in this context? I'm not much when it comes to software (and Linux in general), but hardware has always been one of my main interests...

fredx181 :- Thanks for this, Fred. Now working again......and for a bonus, it also seems to download one hell of a lot faster than the old URL (which I suspected was the problem). The old URL was, um, kinda slowww..... I'd been downloading from the site and doing a manual upgrade for the last few r...

peppyy :- Bought a 2K monitor to go with the GPU. No way to know if it works since I can't see the bios screen, must be too high a resolution for it since I only get a message, (Out of range). Mm....okay. Let's see if we can figure this out. What's the current set-up, as of this moment? Have you tr...

Update time again...

Here's v109.0.5097.45 of Opera-portable, guys. You can find it at the usual link in post #1.

Enjoy.

Mike.

ozsouth :- Excellent work, Dave. This one looks to be a 'good'un'. I'm presently trialling this in my customised Xenialpup64.....and so far, everything's 100% 'on the green". :thumbup: Having an nVidia card, many of my Pups have had the "official" driver installed. That said, this ca...

Governor :- Um.....Christ. Do I really need to explain this? You DO understand, don't you, that these portable apps are not, repeat NOT "generic" apps that will run on any Linux distro? The AppImages contained within the 'portables' WILL run anywhere if used & called just by themselve...

Well, I have to say.......I have never seen this in all the years I've used Brave! Can't figure out why you're getting it and nobody else is..?!?

Mike.

There was one version of Puppy released with no browser in it. It had several browsers as pet packages, you could download and install from a repository. Used a menu entry to click on, that provided a list you could select from. What you selected would be downloaded and installed. About 98% of peop...

mikeslr :- I know we've all grown used to the business where, if you ARE dual-booting with Windows, there's an on-going battle between Windoze & Linux as to who has the right to control the boot partition. However, it still remains the case that, no matter HOW many partitions you have, or whate...

JusGellin :- The main difference with the portable build of T-Bird is that once you've set-up your profile(s) correctly, it will continue to use that same working profile wherever you choose to run it. No need to copy over profiles, etc. I don't use F96_CE_4, just the original Fossapup64 9.5 from P...

Hi, guys. BarryK :- Yes, I was looking at their site last night. Kinda makes me wonder whether the newer builds of libxine would still work with GXine? I don't mind the look of Xine's own interface, but I've never been able to get it to actually function! GXine, though plain and nicely minimalist, d...

Hm. Reading about it here:- https://thorium.rocks/optimizations .....it looks like the devs have decided to take the same route as that being discussed by Moonchild & company over at the Pale Moon forums; the requirement for AES/AVX CPU instructions. Which most certainly will speed up the browse...
