Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

if every individual project is submitted to distrowatch it fragments the effort the synergy that is achieved by everyone coming to this forum and working together is what advances puppy many hands make easy work wanderer Conversely, "too many cooks spoil the broth"!

Well wiak, since you were the one that was adament about this forum not being just about Puppy Linux, go ahead and make the DistroWatch announcement! You are the most qualified developer of the FirstRib build system that I am aware of, so in my opinion you are the most knowledgeable person with the ...

wanderer NO...While DebianDogs are hosted on the forum, they are not Puppy. They also have their own DistroWatch announcements. While enthusiasm is a good quality, too much of it and it becomes evangelistic. By the way, it took you 15 minutes to download the pieces necessary for your DebianDog...in...

It looks to me like you are over-complicating the situation. Try this...turn your PC off, disconnect ALL those external drives, use only the drive you are booting Puppy with. Then run PupSwap, and create an entirely new swapfile on the Puppy working drive and partition. Once you get the swapfile set...

@Wiz57 - do you have the devx for 240413 or 240420? I don't think so, best I can tell it is the devx for the latest release. If needed, I may just rename the devx to match, and see if that works. Not sure what the changes are...I'm also running on an older kernel and zdrv at the moment, using kerne...

I'm not 100 percent sure on this but I think it is greyed out and already filled in because that is the swap file currently in use, so the GUI assumes you wish to adjust the size of pupswap.swp on the mounted partition (someone correct me if I missed something). To enable the choice of another drive...

You can also try adding pdrv=sda1 to the menu.lst kernel line...worked for me with S15Pup32. Seems the newer Puppys require this??

It looks to me like you mistyped the command to utilize the pupswap.swp file...check the filename closely. Alternatively, in terminal just type pupswap, press enter, create a new swap file on target device...a small gui will pop up to help, just follow the prompts...you can safely ignore the permiss...

@FloraMae Perhaps I missed it, what computer do you have: CPU= Ram= You might try F96CE_4 since it is lighter weight than BookworkPup64. On my low power notebook, using pfix=nocopy -startup ram = 235mb -with Chromium Portable, forum tab open = 550mb wizard Hmm, think I have ya beat wizard! Running ...

To try the LXDE desktop for S15Pup32 start here https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=74126#p74126 Note...after downloading the LXDE ydrv, to automatically load at S15Pup32 bootup, copy it to your S15Pup32 directory/folder, then rename by removing the leading LXDE_ , which leaves a file named...

Which Puppy did you choose? I ask because peebee has put together an assortment of Puppys that can use LXDE, which has PCManFM file manager. I use a couple of these, mainly Slackware based, but also an older Arch based. Peebee's Pups use an "ydrv.sfs" to load LXDE. Might look aound the for...

THERE'S STILL LIFE IN THIS OLD ACER ASPIRE ONE AOA150! I'm rebuilding contents of the HDD from scratch, had a few things on other media, but it is back up and running. Cleaned the fan a bit, best I could without a total teardown (didn't have time on Mother's Day), but I'm back online with it now, ru...

Just a follow-up in regards to my old Acer Aspire One AOA150...I think it is getting close to end of the road! Now it not only lost the grldr to boot my Puppys, but it seems to have lost the MBR, and the partitions (had 2 on the HDD, 1 hidden recovery, the regular in C:), so it appears the old HDD i...

Well, my testing did not go anywhere near as planned. I tried several times to boot the iso in my problem above, each time resulted in the main puppy sfs file not being found??? After trying different boot parameters by booting into my other 240413 iso, then rebooting, I don't know what happened, bu...

Hi peebee, I've been using your S15Pup32 on this old Acer Aspire One AOA150, as well as ScPup32 and ArchPup32, but this is in regards to S15Pup32, latest Iso from 050424...I extracted the iso to my normal folder, a frugal install to internal HD, NTFS format (multiboot with WinXP SP3 and lots of you...

Welcome Opi5b ! While I haven't used Atomic Pup, I did save my old Acer Aspire One AOA150 with an Intel Atom CPU and 1gb RAM from the dustbin! I've been using various versions of peebee's Slackware based puppies as well as an older Arch based one, all 32 bit. However, I do use it on the internet sti...

Xenial is much older than Fossa and Tahr. It was put together prior to those file systems becoming a tad more commonplace.

Because Quickpet is exactly what it says it is...it doesn't do any checks to see what is installed in your system, it just goes ahead and downloads whatever you tell it to. Now, once it is downloaded, the installer MAY note that the user already has a package installed, in which case it should ask f...

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 p...

Perhaps a less confrontational method, instead of denigrating someone's chosen service, would be to contact them directly and tell them of problems you are havng downloading something from their service, perhaps make suggestions as to sharing preferences that their service may have that are not the ...

Yep, sluggish here in OK, USA as well. At one of the other forums I moderate we have had a huge spike in automated bot spams, running into the hundreds of spam posts per hour. I and the other moderators are overwhelmed with the volume of spam as the one centralized CMS we once had was shutdown when ...

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...

Does the forum server maintain a "robots.txt" file? If so, it could be edited to block AI bots like ChatGPT for a time period and see what the access times are with them blocked. If there was no difference, could remove the blocks...if there were a noticeable improvement, keep them and ref...

I don't know if it is even possible, but to me it seems we need to have some idea of how many new users "find" Puppy Linux on DistroWatch. I know from my own experience that DW was NOT where I went searching for something to replace the old Slax 6.1.2 I had been running on my old Acer Aspi...

Thorium is based on an older version of Chromium. In my experience older versions of Chromium are quite a bit faster (on older machines at least) than the newer ones. I use the latest Brave (Chromium based) with Fossa9.6 and Chromium version 90 (older) with Jammy. The older version is very fast. Th...

@pp4mnklinux Why did you delete your opening post. You have invited users into a discussion about a topic that could be useful for Puppy Linux and when they respond you delete your opening post. :?: Good question amethyst!
