How to git clone Picom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZE1_20qd15k What Picom is and how to configure it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6Klg7CvUxA TY for the links. I've already watched them. I took the hard way by copying files from my Mabox installation and going from there. I added an ...

Updated just fine. Thank you Mr. Barry

Final iteration? I've relocated the variables to be established before the YAD function. Did a little formatting cleanup for readability sake. #!/bin/bash # Establish some string variables # Change "Earthling" to your name or use the $USER system variable if you like. # Example _yourname="John Doe ...

I have now ran a check on whether or not mpv and/or mplayer is installed and recalibrated my script file. #!/bin/bash # Dialog Box Function dialog_box (){ # Loop until the DAMN button has been pressed while [ $_ret -ne 0 ] do # Open dialog yad --width=600 --center --fixed --on-top \ --image="dialog ...

I copied this script to my EasyOS startup folder only to find that 'mplayer' does not exist in the /usr/bin folder, but 'mpv' IS there so I altered the script just a bit more. #!/bin/bash # Dialog Box Function dialog_box (){ # Loop until the DAMN button has been pressed while [ $_ret -ne 0 ] do ...

I'm aware. It's the inspiration for my shell script. I decided to delve into scripting to fill some time as I'm old and retired.

Did a bit more modding on this script. Now it checks to see if it can speak and if it can't it opens a dialog box. Keep in mind, I'm just learning how to script and know there are many different ways to do almost every thing. #!/bin/bash # Dialog Box Function dialog_box (){ # Loop until the DAMN ...

I changed the script around a bit. Decided I didn't need a dialog if the internet was connected and instead called upon some speech synthesis. The dialog only pops up now if the internet connection is down. I can hear if it (the internet) is up, some form of visual indicator helps when it's down ...

A small script that I use as a startup to welcome me and let me know if there is or isn't internet connectivity. #!/bin/bash # May be reduced from default of 18 seconds to 15 or less if using an SSD or fast HD. # Also if using a static IP rather than DHCP. # I've used 10 here, but it seems long to ...

Heh 'Wonderwall' has a 20 file trial limit. Anyway this is my final product. #!/bin/sh yadbox () { if [[ $_fc -gt 0 ]] then # Append wildcard to _wonderfolder string _wonderfolder=$_wonderfolder'*.*' # Loop until a move or copy choice has been made while [ $_ret -eq 252 ] do # Open dialog yad ...

Revisiting to explain some things and so on and so forth. Apparently when you install a flatpak via a custom entry in the Flapi package manager you get an entirely different install location and thus container than you would get if you installed the same Flatpak via the 'flatpak install' command ...

ripwardog

Apparently using Flapi to install 'Wonderwall' results in different folder structures being created. This script will only work if you manually installed the Flatpak vs. doing a custom Flapi installation. Looks like I have more scripting to do to get this to actually work no matter the method of ...

Bear in mind that I'm new to Puppies, new to EasyOS, new to scripting, etc. Anyway I installed 'Wonderwall' (A wallpaper downloader/setter) as a flatpak in EasyOS and for the life of me couldn't get the thing to set a wallpaper of my choice. If anyone knows how to work around the 'backend choices ...

ripwardog

Thanks guys. I knew I did it but could not for the life of me remember how.

Cheers.

Someone help an old DoG out. I altered the font and the color of the font under the desktop icons. I'm wanting to replicate this 'feat' on the Easy I have installed on a HDD. The thing is... my memory is vague on how I accomplished this 'feat.' By vague I mean completely forgotten. I remember doing ...

KERNEL_CMDLINE=psubdir=/SlakoPup pmedia=atahd definitely looks wrong to me
According to your screenshot it should read SlackoPup with c

Yep that would do it.

Thanks sometimes it takes more than one set of eyes.

SOLVED! I've setup a partition on my hard drive and placed several frugal puppies there along with EasyOS. They all work great, except for the Slacko variant. It complains that 'puppy_slacko64_7.sfs' is not found. I'm using Limine to boot with and below is the configuration file. QUIET=no TIMEOUT=20 ...

Just popped in to say, 'My hat is off to you Mr. Barry sir.' Just decided to try Easy this week and I have to hand it to you. This is a fine piece of work. I initially wrote the .img file to a 32Gb USB stick and while it was far from capacity, I decided to transfer it over to a larger one as I ...

As you can see in this image, everything works. The audio is fine. I can open the PulseAudio Volume Control from the menu and it works great. I just miss NOT having to manually start the tray icon. The script in ~/Startup works. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/664309555207077888 ...

I've ran into a problem. Love the OS BTW. I've done extensive modifications to Easy. Most done through the package manager, but some apps I installed via the command 'flatpak install' I obtained from the Flathub website. At some point the volume control icon no longer shows in the tray. The script ...
