.... If you put something on Google Drive and do whatever in settings to mark it as shareable. Then it will be available to anyone without having to log in to Google Drive. Please, can one of you that really understands this sharing stuff on Google Drive. Make a topic about Google Drive and using i...

There's some concern about some links possibly shared on this forum from Google-Drive; https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=11370 Here's mini howto: mark a folder as "shared": Say you created a folder "NEW" on your google-drive and want it to mark as "shared' (anyone...

But ok, probably there comes a time that no-usrmerge will become really problematic, but not yet IMO. It's already unsupported in Debian testing, you get a more and more broken Puppy as packages adopt DEP17 to prepare for mandatory usrmerge in Debian 13. The right time to add usrmerge support in wo...

The trouble is that tech is a very fast-moving landscape. As soon as new tech appears - whether hardware or software - there's a hard-core of individuals out there who immediately find ways to convert it / compromise it for malicious uses. So this is why it makes sense, really, to always stick with...

... Then I guess that all the lovely 'old' Puppys will not be worked on any more, shame really. ... I wouldn't know why not, but perhaps I'm missing something. edit: I mean that these older Puppys don't depend on the newest developments IMO. Btw, I'm a bit disappointed with implementing the usrmerg...

@dcung just curious, why the 'chmod 777' ?

Yes, don't know for sure, but it could be that the "sort of damage" caused by extracting on FAT32 will be duplicated if you copy to ext4. When you extract directly on ext4 that cannot happen. Because a portable using a launch script symlinks the profile folder from the portable location t...

@rockedge the url https://oldforum.puppylinux.com/ still connects, well... perhaps best to keep it as is now ? (without access to murga-linux url)

yes, either it opens after 2 minutes or there is a server error. impossible to work .
Day 5 this bad thing is going on

So at this time it's not fast for you ? (it is really ok for me in the Netherlands now, perhaps it's very much depending on where you are, don't know )

On BookwormPup64 the appimage launches OK for me, showing the localsend GUI (don't know if it can work properly though).

All day slow, but at (around) this time suddenly fast again for me !

OldMan I got exactly the same problem as you on Bookworm, I guess Brave and run-as-spot aren't playing well together (same with the Brave portable btw). But... I found a trick: In Settings > Downloads enable disable "Ask where to save ... ..." Screenshot.png Then... strange... it does not...

For info: Both download links from @PipzDex above work for me (without being logged in).

What I suspect caused this problem is I had installed Brave on a FAT32 drive to begin with, and Brave had several issues. I subsequently moved it to an ext4 drive. I thought all problems were solved after the move, but the two issues remained. Since these issues did not return when I did a fresh do...

No, I'm not in a very good mood this morning. That's very obvious ! :shock: :D (anyway you informed us, that's good :lol: ) I think bigpup is only saying that it is no good if you need to login to download something (on whatever website, cloud service), for example I have no Mega account and still ...

Several people have posted links to software that they stored on Google Drive. If I click on the link. All I get is the Google Drive log in screen. I've seen that once too (needed to login) but it's not general, the link from here opens for me without login: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.p...

Let's continue in the Brave-Portable topic from here on: viewtopic.php?p=118014#p118014
Locked this thread now.

Let's continue here (where it belongs IMO) the discussion at: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=11353 (that thread is now locked). Governor If desired of course... no need to bother you if you're fine with the way it works for you. EDIT: Best IMO is to start 'fresh' by downloading the tar...

I get the same result no matter how many times I have run the LAUNCH script. It is also the same result if Brave is running or not. Just one of those 'quirks', I guess. Do other configuration changes to brave persist between boots? Not sure what you mean with 'between boots', it's supposed to be a ...

Using Rox, I go to the directory where the LAUNCH script is located, which in my case, is here:. /mnt/nvme0n1p4/Brave browser/Brave-portable64/Brave-portable64/LAUNCH I then right click on the open space in the file manager, choose 'Window', and then choose 'Terminal Here'. You did correct. But I o...

For info: Today I installed mpv , install seemed to work fine, but didn't run (got some error message about pw_thread when running from terminal). Ok, I associated it (pw) with "pipewire", but ok, decided to upgrade all packages ( xbps-install -Su ) as I initially wanted to do anyway. And...

he may not be available

but we don't want to wait forever

Patience ! No need to rush IMO, radky will probably respond sooner or later and you really need his approval, I'd say.

About theming: I see a lot in /usr/share/themes, but nothing is displayed in Settings > Appearance > Style, don't really understand, I guess these are "just" xfwm4 themes, not gtk :? :?: From the Void repo I can install e.g. Bluebird or Greybird theme and then it can be selected from Appe...

@Vverve In case you haven't seen, there's a "Yad - tips and tricks" topic also in this forum: viewtopic.php?t=3922

This will be interesting as such; much more Wayland/GTK4/QT6 improvements....
Forum distros will react, as well.

React how ? By "automagically" implement these improvements ?

In case anyone is interested. root# ./UpdateBrave Update brave-portable to latest version... Could not find the version installed Continue installing latest version anyway? Are you sure to continue installation? (Enter=yes) (Y/n)? So the update is not working exactly as intended, but is otherwise w...

When run w/o $LAUNCHDIR exec /usr/share/cctv-viewer/cctv-viewer "$@" ... The "segmentation fault" *possibly* indicates that you did right setting up the variables, paths etc.. (edit: but not sure, often the binary in in usr/bin, not in usr/share) Anyway, problem is with the snap...

@fredx181 I found out I was using YRadio-1.5 so now I am using the v1.7 appimage on KLV-Airedale-RT with the full real time kernel 6.6.0-rt15. version 1.7 will not allow shrinking the GUI window past the bottom border of the control fields and the controls section is size adjustable! Screenshot_202...

@dcung it's difficult, there's no general rule ,I think, how snaps are built, experimenting with different paths until it works (for portable) is probably the only way.
edit: perhaps last line without $LAUNCHDIR exec usr/share/cctv-viewer/cctv-viewer "$@"

I have a new SSD on order arriving by the weekend. ALL of my recent USBs and my 2 SSDs came preformatted for exFAT. Now appears to be an manufacturer's industry standard. Since I am planning an upcoming BKWDog64, is there something at build time needed so that it is incorporated in the completion o...
