Thanks for the feedback, geo_c. In jack you basically choose which device to use, whereas pipewire gives you all soundcards that are enabled simultaneously. You can run multiple instances of JACK server, one for each hardware device, if you really want to. I can take the input from one device, and p...

This thread and this thread by geo_c are interesting. Interestingly, it is possible to do the same thing in Fatdog, without using pipewire. Instead, we can use the real JACK server (which is included in the base). In Fatdog 901 you can do this with aloopd. All you need is to launch JACK server usin...

I am als not sure why many Chrome-based browser cannot be executed with the sandbox feature. Is the sandbox disabled automatically for Chrome when you execute it in FatDog? Here's the magic stuff that everybody whispers about not never dares to ask. Let's start with a plain fact: everytime you laun...

/usr/lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0 is a symlink. Make sure it points to the correct version of the library.

Code: Select all

# ls -l /usr/lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 26 Jul 18  2023 /usr/lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0 -> libgobject-2.0.so.0.7400.5

I found out that once upon a time there used to be an N2N implementation also for Windows but I don't know if it's still around.

Just comment out line 2820 to 2824 in configure and you'll be good.

To add to step and others, the only power management that Fatdog does are: a) alert when the battery is low, and b) shutdown when the battery is too low, and c) suspend if the lid is closed. We don't do anything else; things like "automatically suspend after idling for XX minutes" etc, if ...

Thank you @dr__Dan, we'll take a look.

Just want to add my late opinion on this. m1k3 , then you said you want to run bash as the shell, what do you mean? Because by default, the login shell (and any other shell you run inside the terminal emulators) are all bash shell already. /bin/sh is a symlink to /bin/bash. Bash does run slightly di...

use boot param pfix=nox nomodeset in console run modprobe uvesafb mode_option=1024x768-16 (obviously choose a mode that works for you) then run xorgwizard, choose "fbdev", set resolution to auto. Enable ShadowFB if your display is slow, otherwise leave it off. Test and confirm that it wor...

fatdoguser , exciting stuff! Please keep them coming! Just a note of testing with glxgears: on modern systems, glxgears syncs to the video refresh rate, so you almost always get 60fps (or close to it, on real hardware). To test the max rendering rate using glxgears, you must tell it to not bother w...

I have been thinking along the same way (but with different implementations). It is already possible to use this in standard Fatdog, by loading the SFS, and then run sandbox.sh (or rw-sandbox.sh if you want to have persistence); and when done, leave the sandbox and unload the SFS. In fact, for my ow...

There's a reason why companies that build browsers (Opera, Brave, Edge ...) decide not to build their own browser and mostly wrap Chromium with different UI.

But then if we follow this to its logical conclusion, we end up with mono-culture which has been proven to be bad for security, isn't it?

Lost Ruins is fun for the kids. Thanks.
Please keep these announcements coming

@fatdoguser, @JakeSFR, thank you for confirming. Merry Christmas to you too.

jamesbond

@fatdog, interesting experiments. I have termux in my phone for the longest time but never think of using it as a remote terminal. Perhaps I should give it a try too

qcow2 is nice for size (sparce file that only grows as needed) and for the likes of snapshots, however raw, even though it takes up the full amount of size allocated ... If you create a raw image on any Unix filesystem (including ext2/3/4), you can create a sparse file as a raw image and it would b...

jamesbond

Should the save file describe the subfolder OR is it to describe one of the 2 created multisession filenames in the savefile parm? Hope this makes sense as I continue to frame clear understanding of SAVEFILE parm; no matter which of the 3 types of sessions contents that FD addresses; namely a savef...

jamesbond

Here is the thing about qemu. It's not only an end-user application. It is also a build tool, a tool we use to verify our builds. New versions of qemu sometimes contain breaking changes, so updating qemu means we have to re-verify our build tools to accommodate for these breaking changes. Thus, upda...

jamesbond

JakeSFR , but what you said as "bad" is actually my local copy, and it works here on my machine. I think the compiler is "optimising" on the CPU it is running on, and fails when run under a different CPU. I need to find the compile flag to force it to use general instructions, b...

jamesbond

BTW: For those who have used it, the Control Panel's Savefile utility will generate the parm I've used. By "Control Panel's Savefile utility" I assume you mean Control Panel -> Install -> Savefile Argument Builder. Question Does this mean the Utility is in need of some review in light of ...

jamesbond

fatdoguser , the slash if implied if it is not given. But it's better to be explicit, I agree. Clarity , the last part of the name is not a folder, it is the session-filename pattern. So if you put /Sessions/v901new , you're telling Fatdog to keep the sessions in /Sessions and name the session file...

@fatdoguser, I am unable to reproduce the problem. Syncterm runs well here (I only try up to the point it shows the welcome screen, didn't try any further).

Wine 8.6 is in 900 repo and is meant for 900 series.
The package won't work for 800 series.

jamesbond

ponchale I just noted that you have Slackware package in the github repo. Thank you for this, it's nice touch. There are certain Puppy-like distributions that uses Slackware package format (e.g Fatdog), and for the users of those distributions, they can use midori directly without having to convert...

jamesbond

Interesting. Apart from the sixel support, what do you think is the difference between urxvt and xterm? Feature-wise, memory-consumption, customability, etc. I used xterm very sparingly (=almost never) and used mostly urxvt, but if xterm turns out to be better, perhaps we can have it as the default ...

jamesbond

Ah, yes. I'm currently using this: https://github.com/jun7/rox-filer/ (jun7's fork of rox-filer), but before I migrated to that fork, I used the latest commit from the rox-filer's official git repo: https://github.com/rox-desktop/rox-filer since 2015 (for a few years). I remember that the problem wa...

That's weird. I tested "Customise menu..." created a symlink in /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/SendTo/.image_png The weird thing is that rox now ignores all the symlinks in /etc/xdg/rox.sourceforge.net/OpenWith/.image_png These are global mime-handling, that will work for all users. Th...

@Clarity I however see that the 900 recipe folder is empty https://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/source/900/ so maybe things have changed? Nothing has changed. I just forgot to do it. Thanks for the reminder, upload is now in progress. Clarity , what does v8 offers, that the 7.2 doesn't have (qemu 7.2 ...

jamesbond

Ah you're too fast for me :D Perhaps you tried to access the repo when the index was still rebuilding after the upload. Please re-update gslapt, and the install again. I just tested, it installs fine here. :thumbup2: If gslapt refuses to update then clear slapt-get cache by deleting all files in /va...
