... 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...

If you use Google Drive to store software you are offering for download. Use shared settings for it, so others can access it without having to log into Google Drive. There's some concern about some links possibly shared on this forum from Google-Drive; https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=11...

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 )
