I do miss having an audible alarm when my laptop battery is running out.

Does anyone have a suggestion for suitable battery monitor/alarm running on F95Mid?

... real-time length display, so it can be used as a measuring tool. If requested and people find it useful I can move it to the Software forum - not really sure where it fits. Brilliant! A little beauty. Even if used for no other reason than as a measuring tool this is brilliant. (In fact this may...

Where do you first see the notification "Not available from your country"?

From NZ. I will give it another go tonight and collect some info and a screenshot.

ever notice the Donation menu link on this forums navigation bar?

For some reason that function has never worked for me - says "Not available from your country".

Keen to give this a try. Working with iso 1a so far. 1) Have not been able to work out how to switch off tap-to-click yet... 2) Opening a hard drive to view contents seems verrrrrrrrrrrry slow first time (similar to Fossa9.6). Takes a long time to work through the icons and let me open directories. ...

What type of drawing are you hoping to make? Are you making a .dxf file?

It's a different forum: F96-CE+ in the Instructional HOW-TO Section

Thank you - is that this forum: ?

In what way is the F96-CE forum you are referring to different to this forum? I am confused. Spent most of the last 5 years on 32bit pups and only recently moved to 64bit. Would like to keep pace with F96-CE but which thread (as a user) should I be checking? (F96-CE4 is a really well grounded pup as...

The previous Asunder (CD ripper) pet that I posted had lame and liblame included - but it turns out that the WAV (or wav) to mp3 conversion can be done using the inbuilt F95Mid ffmpeg instead of lame. So this pet (ffmpeg instead of lame) is a bit smaller (almost half the size) than my previous Asund...

I was not happy with two issues in the original version: 1) The failure of the original version to handle spaces in the filenames or in the name of the host directory. 2) The use of avconv to suit Tahr32 only So here is a pet that seems to work for both 32bit and 64bit pups, and using the syntax fro...

. I just want to mention something about Midori that I really like: I usually boot my Puppies in default "generic" mode without any savefile or savefolder - so that I know each session is fresh and unaffected by previous runs. The down side is that it takes more time to get online because ...

greengeek

Latest Midori browser is v11.1.2 but uses apulse instead of alsa to make sound work - so I have made a pet for F95 Mid that includes the required apulse from OscarTalks. (No other changes required. Sound just works perfectly now) https://www.mediafire.com/file/dsx4icjiy4ekkin/F95Mid_midori_11.1.2_gg...

greengeek

Running with "apulse" (by OscarTalks) works for me to have sound, e.g. apulse /root/Downloads/midori/midori (without needing pulseaudio). Download .pet here: https://www.smokey01.com/OscarTalks Thanks. Just confirming that this solution fixed my issues and works with all of the versions 1...

NOt since @tazoc made available the Checkers Game on the old forum, have I seen a PET for the new forum distros. Anyone know how to get one (or it) for today's use?

Are you able to find any link to that version on the old forum? I see some links to Chinese Checkers - is that what you were after?

greengeek

Using Midori 10.0.2 I have sound OK but version 10.0.4 thru to the latest 11.1 do not produce sound (using Fossa 9.5)
Am I forced to use pulse audio? (Prefer to stay with Alsa)

greengeek

Recently needed to join a couple of images together so I downloaded Peasyglue from the old forum but it would not run as the netpbm image conversion stuff was missing so here is a pet that includes Peasyglue 2.2 along with the extra deps needed on F95Mid: https://www.mediafire.com/file/vipa5fok5ipko...

greengeek

Ian, are you still using Oz's "slimline" Fossa-mid for this? AFAIK, he left a lot of stuff out, didn't he? From what I know of Bill's 'Peasy' utilities, they all of them simply make use of existing binaries/commands/functions, so.....it's entirely possible summat ya need ain't there. Just...

greengeek

I would like to use Peasyglue on Fossa64 v9.5 and got a version from the old forum but it does not create the glued file and says "Gluing failed. Read the Help about making more Temporary space". I have looked at the help and created the /root.peasyglue file but dont know why it is still f...

How would you feel if Musk becomes the next American President? That would be a fascinating election. Biden has 3 children married into Jewish families. Trump announced Jerusalem as the capital of Israel (and his son-in-law is a great friend of Netanyahu) Musk seems to have no pro-semitic allegianc...

Question: Given that both versions above work on my system - why is there such a size difference between the two versions? Is this difference just down to the fact that one is "stripped"? (I thought stripping just got rid of unnecessary comments within the code but that seems a huge differ...

Here is a version I compiled against (Ubuntu GLIBC 2.31-0ubuntu9.12) 2.31

Thanks! That worked for me on my Fossa64 9.5Mid (ex Ozsouth).
Quite like the way wxyzv gives an almost fullscreen display.
Cheers!

Ok, here is an Asunder CD ripper pet for F95 Mid. (Includes the lame lib) Will still give an error message re lack of "Ogg" support but can just ignore that if you don't use Ogg files I have included a config file that is set to do the following: (These can all be changed within preference...

I compiled it in F96-CE_4 , so 64 bit. The source code can be compiled as 32 or 64 bit which is dependent on the system it is built on. That's weird - I tested it on the same version of F96 but had the Glibc failure. Would you have tested it with devx still loaded? Might that have been the reason w...

greengeek

Ok, my Lx64Pup compiled wxyzv also gives glibc errors in fossa64. So I downloaded the fossa64 devx & did: ./cobfigure --prefix=/usr make and then received this error message: error: ‘min’ is not a member of ‘std’; did you mean ‘fmin’? 153 | winwidth = std::min(rotimgwidth, screen_width); | ^~~ ...

Just been ripping CDs and used PPM to download Asunder - which worked fine to create wavs but could not convert to mp3 as it was not happy with missing "lame" ("not in path") so I wondered if anyone has ripped CDs to mp3 and if so what is your method please?
Cheers!

greengeek

rockedge muggins Thanks for the help. I am somewhat hampered by the fact that I am testing with Ozsouth's Fossa 9.5 "Mid" (very stripped Puppy) and have not found the devx yet so my attempt at compiling doesn't complete successfully. Over the years I have compiled a couple of things succe...

Hi, I would like to test image viewer "wxyzv" but do not have confidence in my ability to compile. Is there anyone willing to have a go?? Please see here: https://flaterco.com/wxyzv.html Sadly I don't even know if this is 32bit or 64bit - but I am guessing 32bit due to 1999 release date. (...
