I'm not a big fan of tiling Window Managers. I have been using KLA-OT2baseCE 2.9 since it came out, which is an excellent release. Reading the KLV_BSPWM thread, I thought it would be well worth giving this release a spin. I downloaded the FR build script from the KLV_BSPWM 1.4 thread you have posted...

My experience is the complete opposite of your experience. On laptops with HDMI connections, sound defaults to HDMI as Card 1. Even if HDMI not used, the internal speakers are not default. Sound has to be directed to the internal speakers.

Running the unmodified desktop on large screen TVs is a challenge: The on-screen mouse is so tiny that it is hard to see. I have looked over the control panel and dont see a way to expand to use other larger on-screen mouse pointer. And a font change. Current font on a 3840x2180 resolution used by ...

After being able to boot devuanpup with the kernel line parameter previously suggested by mistfire processor.max_cstate=5 in conjunction with nomodeset , I have tried again to boot quickpup. It still won't boot to desktop. Previously it failed on configuring hardware, now I get almost to it booting...

Governor maybe this will help. The tilde ( ~ ) character is an abbreviation which is used to indicate the users Home directory. In the example of being the user root, /root can be subsituted with ~. Where a non-root user is the user the tilde would substitute for '/home/username' . So, ~/Downloads ...

how can I achieve the same thing with the configuration file(s)? Govenor if you can mount your hard drive you can copy the save file or folder with all your configurations The file you are looking for is with all the main puppy files and is named something like fossapup64save-xx. Just copy that fil...

I did a new frugal install of this latest KLA-OT2baseCE-2.9. There is a minor issue, which was also occurring in 2.7, but it was easily overcome. The touchpad is disabled after booting. I changed the Touchpad Toggle script to not be executable, which rectified the issue. This is a brilliant release....

The KLA-OT2 2.7 with kernel 6.4.7 arch1-1 does contain vmd.ko , the path is /usr/lib/modules/6.4.7-arch1-1/kernel/drivers/pci/controller/vmd.ko I have a laptop(see signature below) with an nvme drive which this release boots on using grub2. I do experience an occasional boot problem, but generally i...

On my Samsung S20 it depends on orientation what is displayed. In landscape mode I get icon and text. In portrait mode I get some text and icons and the Links is shown as just the arrow icon. So the external links is shown in both orientations. greengeek I notice that you are also not showing the Do...

In BWP I get an update message box displayed, but it can be dismissed. I don't have any issue with it attempting to download.

I'm not in Puppy at present, maybe a setting change for auto update?

Great choice to include Flowblade as built-in in EasyOS 5.4.10. I haven't done a video project for some time, but used Flowblade a while ago for several projects, which was quite easy to learn, producing excellent results.

EasyOS 5.4.10 running very nicely. Thank you.

The KDE Plasma desktop works very well for me. Is it using Wayland? ... ... can't wait till/if XFCE fully supports Wayland for use on my slower machines).

I was reading the recent review of EasyOS on the Itsfoss website yesterday. When having a read of some of the other articles, I saw an article on XeroLinux, which is an Arch based distribution, with the main DE being KDE Plasma. I decided I'd do a manual frugal install ,utilizing wiak 's First Rib i...

I don't currently have a FossaPup installation, the following may work on FossaPup. When I used to have problems with transparency, it was identified the actual program which sets the wallpaper is a program set_bg . (You can check if set_bg is in Fossapup by running which set_bg in a terminal). When...

New manual frugal install of VanillaDPup 11.0.49. All went well, running smoothly. The latest documentation on Vanilla DPup 11 states that the vanilladup.sfs's aren't loaded to RAM. On boot, error messages are displayed that these sfs's failed loading to ram, this is confusing. Was this left in inte...

I've been using Devuanpup xfce for 2 days now. There are some things that still need to be sorted out. I'll post about some issues tomorrow. This post is about how impressed I've been with using the included midori browser. Previous attempts to use midori ended quite quickly. In the 2 days so far, i...

Fatdog64 now booting properly. The issue I was seeing is that the boot messages were identifying that sda2, where the fatdog64 save folder was stored was being searched and couldn't be found, which was misleading. I changed the waitdev parameter from 2 to 5 and it was then found and used. I have an ...

There probably a better, more technical bit of advice to solve this, but can you just rename the savefile with the ext4 extension?

No, that would have been simple, but it doesn't work.

Just did a manual frugal install of Fatdog64 s900 to a microsd card using grub2. The install went well and on shutdown I chose the option to create a save folder. The issue I am having is I am not able to boot and have the save folder loaded at boot. Watching the boot messages, the boot process is s...

Yeah, I know. I knew that cherrytree was small, so wanted to see all the extra packages to run as flatpak. So 2 applications, a total of just over 240 MiB require 3 GiB of extra packages to be able to run. Adding other flatpak applications will require increasingly less extra packages to be able to ...

Last week after installing EasyOS 5.4.5, I needed to install Zoom, so it was a good chance to try the flatpak installer. This is the first time I've tried flatpak The install went well and installed Zoom 5.15.2, so very current. All went well and zoom worked without issue. I did notice that lots of ...

apt update or the Synaptic equivalent will probably fix this. You haven't downloaded the package list, so dependencies cannot be installed automatically. Thanks, as advised apt update, or reloading using synaptic package manager is required. Zoom and some additional dependencies then installed succ...

Bookworm Pup64 RC I downloaded and installed the zoom_amd64.deb package from the Zoom web site. Hmm, I downloaded the debian zoom.deb from the zoom download last week and it wouldn't install, it had a missing dependency that couldn't be fulfilled. I didn't pursue it any further then. I'll try again...
