I had built the openoffice sfs some months ago for the italian localization. I used a modded version of the old alien2puppy script from @01micko. Here it is:

Roughly, I renamed /usr/bin/xwin as xwin-exec and created a script in /usr/bin named xwin with the following content:

I have modified /etc/inittab for asking a password for root login at boot.

I changed the root password from woofwoof with the command:

After use of xlock in s15pup64 or ScPup64, I cannot open new windows in many cases. Only a restart of X seems to solve the problem. I read in some cases the error "unable to open display".

I'm happy with Truecrypt 7.1a even though it's not maintained. I think I'll use it for some time in the future using an appropriate kernel for my old PCs. Many thanks for the link to the archive of puppy kernels.

watchdog

Truecrypt 7.1a fails the first mounting volumes using s15pup64 (a build of June) with kernel 5.15.117. I was compelled to revert to older kernels. At ibiblio huge_kernels are no more updated. The published kernels are not archived for later use.

Yes, you are right, no need to change somenthing inside the brother-32bit-compat-pack. I do not remember very well what I did in ScPup64: probably I experimented something before successfully achieving the printer install because of the filter-fix not properly working when executed in /usr/lib/cups ...

How did you load the squashfs module into ScPup64?

I mounted it by clicking on it and I saw what was inside and copied the content in a new dir. Then I have built a stardard puppy sfs to load, which I still have, using the command mksquashfs. The filter-fix script must be executed in /usr/lib64 ...

The Starter Kit project has a 32bit compatibility pack for Brother printers. It is discussed here. But it has never been tested in a Puppy.

Forum member rcrsn51 posted in the old puppy forum a project of a Printer Installer named 64BitInstaller which he retired for lack of testing. I saved it and it still works for installing my Brother Printer HL2130 in all 64 bit puppies using the 32 bit original drivers. 64BitInstaller requires a ...

I have not problems to use my upside down webcam of the asus laptop in any other app: only chrome-chromium-electron are affected by the bug. I use scripts to launch apps prepending:

Code: Select all

export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l1compat.so

That resolves the problem of the upside down webcam.

watchdog

@watchdog Is the internal webcam physically upside down or the stream is rendered upside down?

It's phisically upside down: it happens with some Asus laptops of some years ago. Windows had a driver which corrected the stream by software.

It sounds like an interesting problem....what makes it ...

Chrome in portable format does not correctly work in ScPup64-2202: the webcam support is broken. A classic install using the rpm package from google and a little adapting of the desktop file using run-as-spot and apulse1 from ubuntu 22.04 instead correctly works and I can use an external uvc webcam ...

My laptop has the webcam upside down and I need a working v4l1compat.so (libv4l) to use it. The odd thing is that the webcam does not work with Chrome-Electron-Chromium apps at all. Some updated libv4l from other distros are working to see the webcam upside down but they do not solve the problem of ...

watchdog

Webcam support is also broken in new Chrome-Electron-Chromium apps. I suspect we need a new build of v4l-utils and/or libv4l. And I'm in Slackware Current. Google's engineers are breaking all the software.
