Ah, didn't know, just now I tested on Vanilladpup 11, created folder ~/Startup, added a script in there and it runs ok for me after restart X. I just tried this and no go. I restarted the wayland and then did a complete reboot I just tested with a simple script #!/bin/bash sleep 10 viewnior Perhaps...

Thanks Fred. However in Vanilladpup 11 there doesn't seem to be a ~/Startup....

where is the best place to put a script I want to run on startup?

Probably in /root/Startup .

@mikewalsh I actually use this one https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=70342#p70342 which I guess it is the same piece of software (made by @fredx181 ) just packaged as .pet by @Sofiya ... Yes, the same as from https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=573 Just FYI, there has been some ...

Thank you for your help. I can confirm that running Chrome as root with the --no-sandbox and --test-type flags does resolve the file upload issue. However, I see many warnings about the security risks involved in running the browser this way. I'm not very familiar with the technical details, so I'm...

I'm having trouble uploading files to websites using Chrome Portable in BookwormPup64 (maybe this is the same issue as described immediately above). When I click the "upload file" button, nothing happens. However, this works fine in the built-in Firefox. This issue seems to occur on multi...

Do any of you know what Thunar needs to be able to actually view files on drives? With "pup-volume-monitor" it works ok for me on Jammy32 : Install pup-volume-monitor : https://github.com/doglinux/bullseye/raw/master/i386/pup-volume-monitor_0.1.15-3_i386.deb and dependency libudev0 : http...

I guess you gave the suppression way, since you already knew, I would try this 'dumb' idea didn't you?

I'd not even dare to think that something you'd try could be a dumb idea ! And thanks again for all the feedback !

... Now, the challenge is (for marathon builds) - how to copy the .deb file automatically in the script, from outside chroot into the chroot.. (?) :?: That can be done just after the debootstrap process (then you are not yet running in the chroot (container)), e.g. : ########## Set up debootstrap #...

I still think it odd that with the broken folder name (unquoted with encapsulated space), my previous Brave browser settings and bookmarks showed up, even though the profile folder was empty Could be in /root/.config/BraveSoftware/ (default) , as brave couldn't successfully use the PROFILE folder (...

.... AND, many on the forum continue to misunderstand with a belief that a deliverable size translates to enormous RAM use when on the desktop. If the SFS's are copied to RAM, there will be an increase of RAM usage (edit: but doesn't matter if you have lots of RAM, of course), that's why it would b...

dcung In mklive-bookworm, I have a case statement, just before Allow the user to makes changes in chroot just before creating filesystem.squashfs That is only for to add/remove files manually in chroot folder, not for installing deb package. (not running in chroot anymore at that point) You can eit...

HERE="$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$0")")" AUDIO=$(cat $HERE/SOURCES/CONFIG/audio.txt) ... If there are one or more space(s) in the $HERE path, cat cannot find audio.txt, so should be with quotes around $HERE e.g. AUDIO=$(cat "$HERE"/SOURCES/CONFIG/audio.txt)

Curious - What do you use/recommend @fredx181 ?

For playing audio only, I often use Deadbeef : https://deadbeef.sourceforge.io/download.html
For video playing (or audio too) , mostly MPV (or VLC). edit: SMplayer is nice too.

My changes in preference is retained somewhere, but not in ~/.config/gnome-mplayer/gnome-mplayer.conf Changes in preferences are saved in ~/.config/dconf/user (not a text file that can be opened with text-editor, I think, well.. it's a bit odd ...). The file ~/.config/gnome-mplayer/gnome-mplayer.co...

Governor Ok, nice, finally solved ! I am not even going to ask about why spaces are sometimes allowed and sometimes not allowed. Will try to explain anyway (no rocket science :) ) The trick to support path with spaces is to add double quotes around all instances of $HERE (in this case $HERE is wher...

Governor Just to mention, don't know if it's a typo, the path to Brave-portable64 cannot contain space(s) (Brave<space>browser) Better remove the space, so becomes e.g. /mnt/nvme0n1p4/Bravebrowser/Brave-portable64 . Again, remove the space in the folder name, change (rename) "Brave browser&quo...

dcung Perhaps the following works for you (as I think, not sure, that you want the laptop to poweroff when lid closed, edit; or/and have choice how to configure, see EDIT below): Keep /etc/acpi/events/lid.sh as (I think) you edited it (with commenting "echo -n mem > /sys/power/state" and ...

That is about when a file/folder is not marked as 'shared' then it will show the login prompt dialog from Google.
The message about cookies might be another issue, not sure what TBH.

The installation that has problems (and maintains previous bookmarks and settings) is here: /mnt/nvme0n1p4/Brave browser/Brave-portable64 Just to mention, don't know if it's a typo, the path to Brave-portable64 cannot contain space(s) (Brave<space>browser) Better remove the space, so becomes e.g. /...

Just my 2 cents: I think a good Puppy candidate to list on DistroWatch is a Puppy from a developer who is frequently visiting this forum (BookwormPup dev @radky is not AFAIK). (edit: the fact that @radky didn't reply at all in this thread says it all, I think, not that I feel like judging him, just ...

Common folks don't use operating systems. They use __applications__ that runs on top of the operating system, e.g. web browsing, word processing, spreadsheet, media players, audio editing, games, music / video authoring, livestreaming, servers, etc. Why not aim to make Puppy a platform that can run...

@wanderer Although I enjoy seeing your enthusiasm , but really... not all realistic: "easier said than done"

... Funny that every instruction I have seen for installing Linux to a thumb drive recommends FAT32. How is it possible to recommend a partition type that causes problems? I don't get it. :? A frugal Puppy install is something else, it contains .sfs modules that are mounted read-only (a full instal...

Where is the not obsolete version? If it is to be an included application in future Puppy Linux variants it needs to be accessible for a woof-CE build run from a reachable repository. It's in the Starter Kit project, available through Fred's repo. But that version is not Puppy-compatible. This one ...

@Governor If I were you, I'd just work with what (I think) you have now ("fresh" extracted on ext4 drive) to avoid further complications or misunderstandings. The "Brave-portable64/PROFILE/spot/Brave-Browser" folder (on your ext4 drive) should contain the profile files (after ru...
