Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I have installed it, there is a problem, the wifi cannot be connected, there is the word $ in the password, I don't know if it is the reason. In addition, the installation deb cannot be used. After the installation, the command is in /usr/bin, but it cannot be run. Create a new directory under /hom...

This is the first report I have received that keyboard and mouse do not work. Write the .img.gz file to a usb-stick, using EasyDD, or one of the other USB-stick-writers, or just use 'dd. Boot the USB-stick and report if keyboard/mouse working. If yes, then that will eliminate EasyOS itself as the ca...

EasyOS 2.5.5 booted. Grabbed the racy sfs and booted that in a container. Also booted Buster container. Installed qemu and kvm/qemu booted OpenBSD. All running nice and quickly, as quick as if individually booted on bare metal. 4GB ram 2 core laptop, where around 2GB of ram being used (with multipl...

Yes! EasyOS now runs on the Pi4, 64-bit, 5.10.4 kernel.

See blog announcement:

https://bkhome.org/news/202101/easyos-d ... y-pi4.html

It can even run RasPup in a container.

Anyone willing to test it?

Hi iguleder, I sure do remember you!

I just checked, you joined the Murga Forum in Aug 2009, so definitely qualify as an "old timer"!

Great that you want to keep those old Chromebooks going.

Yes, another one!

@Keef
Is that Partview in EasyOS or EasyPup?

Partview in Easy shows all partitions, mounted or unmounted, however, there are some Partview variants that only show mounted partitions -- I seem to recall that anyway.

https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewforum.php?f=63 Here's the EasyOS section of the Puppy forums. I think BarryK visits these here and there. :thumbup2: Yes, I am more likely to see a post if it is posted in the EasyOS thread. Also, EasyOS has a dedicated forum, with a small but very enthusiastic band...

The EasyOS site has a lot of technical information: https://easyos.org/ A comment about "Puppy": Puppy has been the mascot for Puppy Linux and derivatives since the beginning, circa 2003. Just about everybody who has an interest in Puppy and derivatives would know about the mascot. And if...

"Puppy" https://bkhome.org/archive/puppylinux/amy/index.html The security question is deliberately a bit evasive, does not name the "Puppy Linux" distro as that would be too much of a hint for the spammers. I was getting spammers, so had to modify the question -- I think that I h...

This is the Dunfell-series, packages compiled completely from source using a fork of OpenEmbedded. Kernel is 5.10.2. Blog announcement:

https://bkhome.org/news/202012/easyos-d ... eased.html

This is for experimenters. The Buster-series, v2.5.5, is recommended for most people.

Blog announcement here:

Of course if you already have EasyOS running, just click the "update" icon on the desktop.

I'm curious to ask a couple questions: will there be a port of BluePup for Puppy distros such as FossaPup? If not that's fine. Also, didn't you mention that there will be a RPi port of Easy OS? I kinda want to try it on my Raspberry Pi 4. :geek: BluePup has had very positive feedback so far. And ye...

Hello Barry, Great job... EasyPup 2.5.1 works perfectly on my old Aspire V5 acer. I particularly appreciate BluePup for the bluetooth management. I "have fun" to customize in my own way... however I encounter two little problems: 1- impossible to get transparency on the urxvt console. 2 -...

5.10.2 with aufs is working OK for me.

Hi from me too!

Yes, this is now the official Puppy Forum, and activity has picked up. I visit this forum every few days.

I am moderator for the EasyOS Puppy-derivative section:

...haven't had anything to moderate yet though!

'though being able to boot from any computer without having to make 'bios' changes would be nice Barry wrote up his way to copy and paste the EFI folder to a new fat32 directory for frugal installs. As UEFI does not need to use the mbr, perhaps the method can be used with grub2 also> https://bkhome...

@BarryK thanks for joining in, if even for a quick visit! These are my notes about some of the links you mentioned. Your blog post mentions solving some ALSA/PulseAudio compatibility problems with Arch's pulseaudio-alsa package , which consists in a pulseaudio configuration file pulseaudio-default....

There are ways to transfer sound over LAN with ALSA alone, but I never bothered to learn. The one built-in to Fatdog is called rsound: https://github.com/Themaister/RSound but it is halfway broken, so I won't even explain how to use that. The other possibility is to use jack, but I've never tested ...

They will be quiet anyway, as they are not being used. To be clear: Does this mean they are not powered/spinning?

EasyPup is now deprecated, see blog post:

I will run my computers in lockdown mode and see if I can hear the internal drives. If so, I might experiment with hdparm. If you have a computer like mine that turns off its fans when idle then I'm sure you will hear them hissing. Another consideration should be heat and energy consumption caused ...

Yes, another one! The big news, relative to 2.5.1, are the four ways to transfer files to and from a phone.
