Hello guys

(...) @sp4nn3rs

Thanks :>


This appimage is ready to use in x64 puppies.

Simply download, extract and run APPRUN (click on it)

It works for me, I hope it works 4 u 2.

Cheers

How did you install Libreoffice?

Do you have a .desktop file?

If so, open it up in a text editor and share the contents.

Also which Puppy build are you using?

How are using Zotero as a desktop application or via a browser?


The version I got to work was libreoffice-7.3.0.3_i386.sfs I got ...

you could either launch libreoffice from terminal and paste here the terminal's output , or, you can download and launch the AppImage version and use that instead.

you can found it here

Thank you everyone.
I was trying out your ideas and was having difficulties, but then I managed to install a version of LE Writer that works.
Specifically, I installed a version mentioned on a forum post, which you get a link to when you click "Get LibreOffice download" in the start menu of ...

Hello guys

I'm currently writing my master thesis and I thought it would be neat if I could get the reference manager Zotero to work on a word processor on my old Lenovo Ideapad, since it's the most portable computer I own.
Interestingly enough, installing Zotero and syncing it up to my previous ...

Your best source of info about Broadcom wifi is here. The attached b43 firmware package is a DEB but you may be able to left-click install it into a Puppy. Then reboot to activate it.

Woohoo! That did it!
Thank you so much! ¸

JammyPup is Ubuntu based.

If ypu have Apt available the suggested command in terminal is

apt-get install firmware-b43-installer

then follow the prompts


Unfortunately I do not seem to have Apt.
I get these errors:

# sudo apt update
sudo: apt: command not found
# sudo apt install apt

Hello :^)

I seem to be having trouble setting up the Wifi on my Lenovo Ideapad S10e, which is running friendly-jammypup32-rc2. Internet works fine with an ethernet cable, in fact I'm writing this post on this laptop right now :^)

Some specs:

CPU Type: Intel Atom N270, 1.60GHz
System Memory: 640 ...

@sp4nn3rs

My bad, was looking at an older Puppy

For jammy:

Menu>Setup>StickPup usb stick installer
-choose: this
-choose: the 8gb USB

wizard


SUCCESS!

That worked perfectly!

Thank you all so much for your help! :mrgreen:
Very excited to start using this ...

@sp4nn3rs

Another test.

-boot with the good USB
-connect the 8gb USB
Menu>Setup>Bootflash
-choose the 8gb USB
Create grub4dos USB

Then try booting with the 8gb

wizard


Was Bootflash replaced with something else?
I googled it and I saw that this was a thing on older puppies but on mine I ...

@sp4nn3rs

on the second Fujitsu laptop.

Try the 8gb USB on this computer to confirm that USB is not good for booting.

I did above, point 3. The 8GB USB key is indeed no good for some reason.

To make sure it is a legacy bios.

Look in all the sections in the bios settings for secure boot and fast boot.
Not just security and boot sections.

Not all Puppy versions will work on all possible computers.
May need to try a different Puppy 32 bit one.

Try my earlier post about using ...

Have you tried this with another USB drive? An 8 GB model is pretty old.

This was indeed one of the problems, thanks!

@sp4nn3rs

The most important thing to do first is to make a bootable USB, That means not editing or doing anything special. Stick with the basics. Once that's successful you can then start to modify and customize. Here's a recommendation:

-Use W10, Rufus, and Friendly-jammy to create a USB ...

I should first clarify that I am currently using a laptop with Windows 10 to do all of this.




if you are simply trying to build a working linux USB with your W10 laptop, look at this tutorial starting about half way down @ USB Image Tool. EasyOS is supplied as a disk image complete with ...

Since Bookwormpup32 was perhaps a bit too ambitious, I've now tried to install Friendly-jammypup32-rc2, which wizard recommended as a particularly light version. bigpup recommended using Unetbootin for USB stick installation so I used that. I first formatted the USB key as FAT32 in Windows explorer ...

Stop using Rufus and use some other program fore installing to a USB stick.

Try using Unetbootin:

The forum topic on Unetbootin

Use a downloaded Bookwormpup32 ISO as the source, do not use Unetbootin to download ...

Just a thought, but if this laptop is from 2009, as it says in the title, It's unlikely to have UEFI. All my laptops are from 2009/10 and none of them have UEFI. I don't think Windows 10 was introduced until about 2015 either. So most likely it came with XP/Vista/7 when new then Windows 10 was ...

@sp4nn3rs :-

Hallo.....and :welcome: to the "kennels".

Mm. O-kay. Well, if it's running Win 10, then it's a fair bet it's UEFI.....and because Win 10 won't run otherwise, it's also a given that the Secure/Fastboot crap is enabled. You'll need to disable these in the UEFI/BIOS before Puppy will ...

Hello guys 😊

I would like to ask for some help as to why I can't get Puppy Linux installed on my old laptop, a Lenovo Ideapad S10e. I don't have a whole lot of experience with Linux, although I used to run CrunchBang on another really outdated laptop a few years ago and it was a lot of fun.
Some ...
