Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Seems bionicpups and fossapup64 seem to work with ventoy but other pups may not work.

Not a problem, here are two alternative options which works:
1. Avoid the youtube site altogether and watch youtube videos via DuckDuckGo or Bing.

How is it done in the DDG?

This is what I use to disable ads, MochiMoppel's script is very effective.

Indicates a library version mismatch.... where did gthumb come from?

I added the repository since the default repository did not come with gthumb. plus-bookworm-debs...

With the up to date changes of sfs etc. I downloaded gthumb from PPM (had to add more repositories listed since default setting only had gthumb-data) but won't launch from the menu. From terminal I get this, I added similar libs but still not working. Any ideas?

@peebee just to let you know it still has not been fixed on my PPM.

just trying it out and I get an error when I try to update the PPM.
ERROR: Packages - puppy-upupll+bw-extra is missing...

Thanks - should be fixed.

@peebee still getting the same error...

I had a similar issue of CPU / RAM maxing out in my fanless old miniPC.

1. CPU scaling tool to throttle less CPU use
2. add zram function to maximize use of RAM
I did not answer your question directly but these may prevent lockup.

ZRAM SWAP in Puppy Linux.

What is it?

Please all information needs to be specifically about Puppy Linux!

Just a messenger, smart folks here know what/how it works.

got it figured out. Fonts in rox-filer and findnrun get changed with the line
gtk-font-name="Ubuntu 16", larger number larger font. Some distro may have to add the line to /etc/gtk-2.0/gtkrc (may have to create the file if not there).

dimkr suggested this for Vanilla dpup is should work for all of them

Add:
Xft.dpi: 120
to /root/.Xdefaults

Note this is a system wide font size change

I wanted to just enlarge the font in findnrun if possible...

I find the application launcher is very good, anyone know how to enlarge the default font size?

What program is playing the music?

deadbeef.

is there a working gthumb (photo editing) app somewhere?, one in the PPM doesn't seem to work.

@ozsouth as u said, replugin does pickup the external HD, adding the line sleep 10 to the 2nd line (after the shebang #!/bin/sh ) to the .xinit does not work...

on v2, my external HD icon is missing on the bottom partition row...

@gychang - I made an mpv .pet - seems to work ok. Is here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/xdy679rg ... l.pet/file

works perfectly!.

Yes, it's working.

You can adjust the size inside the script. IIRC there are instructions in the comments.

my interpretation is 2.6G is saved as zram, seems reasonable with 4G of total RAM in my case...

I have a fanless old miniPC with 4G of RAM with internal SSD. Am running pups, bionicpup64 / F96-CE4 primarliy. Is there a how to setup zram in pups somewhere? thanks.
