I fixed a USB flash drive, my dog chewed on! :thumbdown: :( Used the, it will fix anything, good old Duck Tape! The USB stick was in pieces! I have also gotten bad motherboards working, by placing them in a oven, set on low temp setting. Usually a bad solder joint can be the problem. The heat helps...

Sorry, I couldn't read the text on the jpg so couldn't understand what repair was done. Was there supposed to be a link to more detailed view? imgur decided not to use direct link to the pictures. Now instead redirects them.... you can view the picture on imgur then right click it and select open o...

The illusion of privacy/security is not just in browsers but in the home too. I know this for a fact because I am also a "handyman" (I can repair various home stuff) so with this knowledge I know that the home locks are an illusion of security because of many reasons... One being "bum...

Clarity, It is not that I am alarmed or worried it is just that is how my brain works in order to find peace in my head. In the same process I find knowledge and slightly better my understanding of how life works. We never stop learning even if I was to be 90 years old but it also depends with you w...

It is very easy to me because I have acquired knowledge over the years how to repair stuff....all you need is a very sharp knife with a little bit of oil on it (I mean just use the finger to smear it on it) so the blade glides to cut the rubber that encases the connector... Here is the link: https:/...

When you put your own background picture in JWM it looses it on the next boot?

I stumbled in this too but I solved it by ticking "fit".

Help me understand how a TV will contribute to one's PC, please. BTW: There are additional LAN tools that one can run on their PC to analyze all traffic on one's home network. My motto has always been that no person has the right to see me or gather information from me with out my consent. The big ...

To log dropped packets, change this: iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.0.100 -j DROP to this: iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.0.100 -j LOG iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.0.100 -j DROP The log entries should be in the file /var/log/messages cat /var/log/messages or tail /var/log/messages or dmesg You can see ...

My smart tv is on a "guest" wireless. That way it can't see my production/home network, and nothing on my production/home network can see my smart tv. So .. It's segmented. I put myself in the guest account and I am noticing that the download has a cap of 1mbps so that won't work for ppl ...

bigpup,

I initially thought it was very low but after hundreds of boot ups using 2 seconds, it is not a big deal to quickly be at the ready if I want to select a different line...

It might help to understand that Up/Down in that Conky panel means TX/RX. It doesn't actually mean you are downloading anything. It means you are receiving packets on that nic. These are probably Netbios, multicast, broadcast packets. In other words, you "smart tv" is noisy. I'd see if I ...

You can try pasting this in a text terminal (console) window: iptables -A INPUT -s 192.168.0.100 -j DROP This blocks 192.168.0.100, change it to the IP address you want to block. To execute that line every time Puppy boots, normally you would put it in /etc/rc.d/rc.local but the firewall might be s...

Is the Smart TV set up for wifi access? It may be easier to shut the TV wifi off ? Yeah it is connected to the wifi and I agree to disconnect it but I am not living alone and I am the only one objecting to it (I don't watch fake news) :lol:. I already know that companies install circuity to snoop o...

I know it is a smart tv that is giving me this download traffic. I don't understand how tho if I have the firewall on or what does the download in Conky is indicating? When the smart tv is off, Conky is quiet...but when the tv is on I get the download traffic... How can I block this using iptables/n...

I am using Everything with WINE on a Bionic64-8. This machine has no NTFS parititions but I added the "C:" drive as a folder from the WINE file system structure when I selected an image Everything opened it up with PhotoFiltre StudioX. It's limited to the WINE filesystem or a NTFS drive/p...

Good question but I am not sure really I am using a windows app boot loader to boot up puppy.iso. In the iso file I edited /grub.cfg to set timeout=2 and it did not work. Then i edited /boot/grub/grub.cfg and it did not work but just a minute ago I edited /boot/grub/menu.lst timeout 2 and now it is ...

I tried to edit the normal boot config files but the ISO default count is still 10 seconds. What exact files do I need to edit?

Thanks in advance.

I triple boot - two Linux OSs and windows10.... plus I also have windows 10 installed in an external drive that I can boot in any computer manly for family members that may need help in their computers. I also have windowsPE in a USB drive from where I boot up to do all my OS image back ups and rest...

I am not an expert on this but the GUI just works for right clicking... it does not work as a "stand alone software GUI".

So the GUI is "right click on mouse button only".

You can also use AESCrypt in the command terminal (I have zero experience with that)...

I have used this software under Windows OS before and now just trying it out under Puppy Linux: https://www.aescrypt.com/download/ Instead of explaining how here is the video showing it...pretty straight forward: https://files.catbox.moe/zi6j1x.mp4 The basic of it all is that AESCrypt creates a new ...

Here is an example of how utube makes you go through loops and hoops using third party aps...: https://gofile.io/d/iXy1Gn

It is just an example of me trying to watch a 4 month old video on FreeTube but the same happens on other apps...

Regarding the 'blinking icon' question posed by joet12345 Refer to page page 3 and page 6&7 of the manual. When using a VPN it is important that you can rely on its stability ie there is nothing worse than using the system thinking that the VPN is active when it is not. The blinking icon is a v...

@joet12345 :- That one fires straight-up for me in Fossapup by simply giving it Exec permissions, then clicking on it. However; this one will never work. As part of its first "run", it's trying to download the 'youtube-dl' script from Github. The 'youtube'-dl' script was deprecated and re...

mikewalsh, I have been trying out your portable version and everything seems to be working fine. For what it's worth, I found a way to get Pale Moon Adblock Latitude on Seamonkey. If you (or anyone else is interested) you download Adblock Latitude xpi file and then convert it using this site: http:/...

@joet12345 :- In case you're interested, and want to try the 'portable' versions, current builds can now be found over at the Seamonkey-portable thread, here:- https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=1640 Totally self-contained, these include the necessary 'apulse' libs to enable audi...

Thanks it is working now

I decided to take the easy route and do:

apulse /path-to-executable

Mikesir, I might try the more advance method when time permits...muchas grasias.

I downloaded Seamonkey, extracted, and I am running it from the folder but it has no sound in videos.

I have the same issue with Firefox running it from a folder in /Home. Everything else seems to be working fine...it even updates itself.

Any ideas:?:

@joet12345 :- Makoto's right. That's about all you can do, and then we need to interpret the output from the terminal. However, it's most likely to need the --no-sandbox .....argument adding, since many AppImages are re-packs of Electron-based applications. Electron is based around Chromium, and it...

Under fossapup64 I've encountered various AppImages that refuse to start up. One example being https://bitwarden.com/download/

While this one runs fine https://cryptomator.org/downloads/

Is there an app to help troubleshoot?
