Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Remastered my main Bookworm install with manual exclude file (but I didn't change it).

All seemed to work correctly.

IIRC, the version that you did for First Rib had a config file control what got trimmed.

I thought that was a good change.

Do you think the TP-Link UE300 gigabyte USB to Ethernet adapter would work on a Chromebook on a USB 3.0 hub with a mouse, keyboard and big hard drive?

Let me build one and I'll tell you where I get stuck.

Probably a couple of days.

What would it take to make a version, probably a systemd version, with no "run as user"?

Everything runs as root (or doesn't run) when you are root and everything runs like normal debian when using a regular user.

IIRC, @dmkr Puppies like Bookworm only set up zram below a certain amount of ram and has the settings optimized for Puppy. compared to the default Debian set up.

Another non-answer, but in MX Linux there is a setting to put the buttons at the top of the screen instead of at the bottom, so they aren't cut off.

It applies everywhere, not just Chrome.

@dancytron Please be advised-Blank page for the GitHub dl.

It was the direct download page.

Try this.

I barely use my google drive.

I keep personal stuff someplace else.

I'm sold.

I just installed it on my desktop.

So, better to not include firmware-misc-nonfree, and ignore the warnings?

If you have such hardware you need firmware-misc-nonfree, if not have hardware - not need.

It's where the drivers for Over the Air TV cards and dongles are, or at least my OTA TV dongle.

@dancytron Can you make a topic in the 32 Bit section detailing some information about the distro and supply the same GitHub link?

It feels like this system should get more attention.

Let me set up a copy of it and make sure it still works and then I'll do it.

I built this 32 bit Devuan Dog with a bunch of console based browsers and gtk3 a couple of years ago that no one seemed to notice.

That fixed it.

Thanks,

For anyone finding this thread later, most of this stuff is on archive.org.

To get the touchpad on my chromebook to work property, I removed xserver-xorg-input-synaptics and used xserver-xorg-input-libinput instead. Maybe redundant, but I also added libinput-bin.

It worked properly, including adjustment, just like MX does.

Dan

Built a minimal one with systemd, alsa only, links2 as the only browser, and a few more drivers.

ISO 588 Megabytes gzip compression.

Sound worked both yradio and mpv. Nothing obviously not functioning.

I really like LXQT, much more than XFCE.
