Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Bye bye Exploder won’t miss you

Good luck getting win11 running on an “old” machine. With its tpm chip requirement. Even some machines from 2018 won’t install it. Though there is a registry hack.

Yes thank you Mike for your many wise and helpful posts. Also for taking up the role of Moderator.

Amazing how they got ram usuage down to minimal comparable to puppy at the time.

It hasnt been updated in years and not sure it was all that useful back in its day, but its available: https://sourceforge.net/projects/linuxbbq/

Quite true Mouldie but the recipes they used for some of ther minimal builds are very useful still. CWM, Fluxbox, Blackbox, etc anyone?

Ubuntu has been developing LMDE for years. Nothing new here

@Mike Walsh - Yeah sorry mate to be honest a bit of a habit. In this country they were the butt of many jokes.

Funny thing is Our Police replaced their Holdens with them. They seem to come with a lot of unique extra features.

Used this iso above. Compaq cq61 - this thing boots quickly which is amazing as it has a 5 series kernel. Thanks Fred.

Hmmmm the computer equivalent of a Skoda.

As has been said the Browser demands of modern internet. 10 or more years ago a lean Pup like 4.12 or 4.31 with seamonkey would have sufficed on really old kit.

Interesting Mike that this Browser works with Debiandog Jessie other "chromes" don't thanks a nice Browser.

For many years Sneeky Linux has been tinkering with Puppy Linux - a list here......

Using a vlc app image and trying to run it as root. I typed

sed -i 's/geteuid/getppid/' /usr/bin/vlc

Copied the appimage to /usr/bin and renamed vlc and still get cannot be run as root error is there something else I have to do in Boxer?

Thank you One.

Using latest Thunderbird from Thunderbird website. Works quite well so far.

Maybe you have an old profile which allows you to do this.

I have a fresh install 32bit. Ability was apparently removed from chromium....

Thanks Rocky,

Nice job using it now.

I see that Chromium no longer logs into gmail. Has anyone found a way to get past this new google "feature"??

Version 98.0.4758.80 on Puppy Linux ImpishPup32 21.10. Tried Gmail API extension.

Been running this on my Compaq cq61 interesting system. Got on line everything seems to work just wondered how to change timezone and time?

Nice pup had to use series 4 kernel. Thank goodness Puppy has kernel swap feature to make booting on an old machine possible.

Running Pups again for awhile. Had to swap kernel to 4.19.23 from Pfeco's Beowulfpup. Series 5 kernels don't boot on my Compaq CQ61.
Very nice like the BBwireless app.

Congrats to the new moderators and thank you to Rockedge for getting the new forum going and for the resurrection of the Murga Forum.

Sorry not sure either I did maual frugal installs or used unetbootin.

Yes it is - there are now several forks from Audacity because of the "spyware" issue and violations of spyware etc..
