Can you post a summary on this? I didn't realise this guy still made videos. He's just such an awful representation of the Linux community.

Re: Language packs for BookwormPup 64
Firefox has language packs here

Is this what you mean? Or did you mean extra languages for the file browser or missing fonts?

Re: How do I use apt to download and install a specific app version?
You would need to change every instance of the word "bookworm" to "Trixie" or "testing".
If you change all instances of "bookworm" to "trixie" in /etc/apt/sources.list, it will be a complete upgrade to trixie, e.g. when doing apt upgrade (also when installing some new software, libc6 will be ...

apt has bash autocomplete, so if you have activated testing or Trixie, for example, you can check all the availability versions with
apt-cache policy audacity
If there is a version from backports you can ...

Re: how to get asunder to work on bookwormpup64 10.0.7 ??
You can try installing directly from the Debian repos:
Code: Select all
# apt install asunder
Or use Synaptic.
This will install other packages as well, but when you're done you can restart without saving or run
Code: Select all
# apt purge asunder
# apt autoremove
and be close to where you started.

Re: Need a browser to replace Palemoon
I'm not a security researcher.
This article by someone who knows way more breaks it down
https://www.spacebar.news/stop-using-opera-browser/
It doesn't say anything about telemetry. I said possibly because some folks assume that is the case.

Opera is not what it used to be, it is owned by a Chinese company and possibly reports telemetry to 3rd parties.

Re: Need a browser to replace Palemoon
Mullvad is a decent option. Privacy Browser is still under development, but is pretty anti-spy.
Firefox can be made a little more spy-free with a few about:config
changes, some of which appear to be shipped with Puppy, but I get the hesitance.
Looking forward to see what you decide on.

I have a pretty good idea about applications, been using Linux as my only OS (except that darn work computer) since the early 2000s. I will probably just work off the base install and if I "break" it, no big deal.

Salut @oui,
La question est donc comment récupérer des photos sur un téléphone Android via câble USB ?
Tu peux nous dire la marque et modèle de ce téléphone ?
Quand tu le branches est-ce que le téléphone affiche des options ou préférences USB ?
Bonne journée

Re: Restoring deleted apps and suggestions for work
It feels weird to ask this after all these years on Linux, but Puppy is such a different piece of work that I am at a loss as to where to find grub.cfg.
There is no grub.cfg in /boot
or in /etc/default
. I can make the changes during boot and that isn't permanent, of course.

Restoring deleted apps and suggestions for work [Solved]
I've been using Linux for 18 years now and finally need Puppy Linux. My work laptop—a Dell Latitude 5320—appears to hum along nicely with Puppy (Bookworm) (I think everything works that I need, not like I'll be using the tablet mode).
I just have two very beginner questions ...
