Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

How did you capture the boot process Mike? By external camera? Surprisingly clear and no parallax/lensing. Hiya, GG. Nice to see ya here..... Me, I would hazard a guess this was screen-recorded while running in a VM. It's the only way I can think of that you'd be able to capture the boot/set-up pro...

@ rockedge/Rainer:- Okey-doke. Right; after much experimenting, let me ask you guys a question.... I'm going to hazard a guess you both run Firefox, or similar.....yes? Research has shown that any 'zilla-based browser will show the full-screen button, and it'll function correctly. However, with any ...

hi mikewalsh, i knew about the no sandbox thing but you got that horrid warning message banner. --test-type gets rid of that warning @ Phil:- The --no-sandbox "switch" has been functional all the way through (although it moans like a good'un).....but unlike most of the other 'clones', Goo...

I added the youtube BBCode and now modified it to allow for a full screen view via the full screen button on the youtube video Are you sure, mi amigo? Umm; I don't like to seem ungrateful.....but it doesn't yet appear to be functioning. (I've got a short "Thank you!" video clip all ready ...

note that --no-sandbox --test-type can be used to run all chrome based browsers as /root in puppy Hmm. Interesting tidbit, Phil. Thanks for the info! [Later:-] Right. Well; for anybody who's interested, here - for the first time in over 4 years ! - is a version of my Chrome-portable.....once again ...

Some news, boys & girls. (PLEASE NOTE:- This item is no longer available, since it was in fact more trouble than it was worth. Easy enough to implement, but it was found to break many websites in the process. So I removed it.) ------------------------------------------------- Following an intere...

@ xenial:- It's a nice browser.....and one of the few Chromium-based clones to still come in a 32-bit version. I wouldn't like to say just how long that state of affairs will last, though..... I have a sneaking suspicion that over the next 24-36 months we may see 32-bit disappearing for good, with t...

Afternoon, kiddiwinks. Following some experimenting this morning - and with assistance from Nic007, our resident YouTube "expert" (cheers, Nic!) - I've sussed out how we can use the 'youtube' button in the posting screen to embed a YouTube video into our posts. I'm in Google Chrome itself ...

@ GG/wiak:-

I must admit, it's got so every time I've logged-on in the last few days, yet another category seems to have been added! When's it going to stop?


Mike.

@ taersh:- Fair comment! Mind you, you know as well as I do that in this community - as with many other subjects - everybody likes to have a say before anything is decided on. It's a 'do-ocracy', after all.... :D Wanderer's right, though. The subject won't disappear, and it IS important that rockedg...

@ smithsa:- Mm-hm! Puppy does take a little bit of getting used to. Many things in Puppy are done in a unique way.....similar to "mainstream" Linux, but just different enough that it can throw out even Linux veterans.... With regard to the old Murga-Linux forum, there is hope that things c...

Oh my God! Not again this road. Really, no offense intended, though I can't read stuff like this anymore. It's always the same. Millions of words and no bucks. If anyone wants to spend some money, just send a PM to rockedge, ask for bank account or paypal or what ever is there to transfer some mone...

<snip>....As it was free account and has been going for about 10 years i suppose I can't complain too much....</snip> Providing the community with a free, DEDICATED search engine for a decade? I should say not...!! There's accepted limits for how long a lot of things will last.....expected lifespan...

Rainer's correct, y'know. There is absolutely no way of controlling that list, except for unticking every notification option so that you don't receive any in future.....and that, to my way of thinking, rather defeats the whole point of having them!

Needs fixing.

@ mikeslr:- <snip>....So, remembering the episode in Tom Sawyer where Tom convinced his friends how much fun it would be to paint a fence, I sort of 'conned' Mike Walsh into doing the hard work. :lol: :lol: ....</snip> .....and to think I used to like this guy!! https://i.postimg.cc/SN1BHKY7/hysteri...

@ smithsa:- Hallo, and welcome to the new forum.....which we're all still getting the hang of. I assume you've been creating along the lines of the "persistence" which Ubuntu and many of its re-spins support. Puppy won't even look at that. She creates her own 'persistent' storage at first ...

The updater script is once again fully-functional, thanks to the ever-resourceful fredx181 , who has found a more permanent URL for the version check, and modified the 'LAUNCH' and 'UpdateChrome' scripts to suit. The 'ar' stuff n the 'DATA' directory has also been concatenated into a wee AppImage, ...

Wonder of wonders, I got the confirmation e-mail through to the 'Spam' folder of my Gmail a/c..... Ah! that's where it was, Hi Mike, I didn't even think to look there, messaged the admin that got me in, I hope to catch up with everyone, been a long 3 years with very little activity for me, life got...

Glad ya made it, Argolance! Nice to see you here....


Mike.

I've been trying to get to the Murga forum for a couple of days, and only when I checked on Twitter to see if anyone knew anything did I find a link to Mike's post at BleepingComputer. I'm glad it's already proved useful, Paul. I've been posting links all over the place on the various fora I belong...

@ Mike:- Access to 'usable' software was actually one of the first things that came to mind, pretty much straight after accepting that we've got to make the best of rockedge's providentially-provided new forum for now, and probably the foreseeable future. That's why I made sure my signature was set-...

@ Will:- I'm probably contrary to most folks - I usually am! - because although GTKdialog is native to just about every Linux distro out there, I find it hard work. Much prefer YAD myself.....but, that's just me. (Don't take too much notice of any criticism I make. The main thing is that it's availa...

@ Will:- I think we need a section specifically for developers, don't we? Because this package of yours - cheers for those, BTW - is all developer-type stuff, isn't it? Useful for those of you who are developers, or playing around with your own stuff, but it's not really "general user" ins...

@ Peter:- I've moved your topic over at BleepingComputer from the "How-to and Tutorials" section across to the main Linux forum. I sent you a short PM explaining what I've done. I've also replied in the topic. Now then; what's all this about "Can't attach an image", mate? I thoug...

@ galbi:- Hey, I like that! Veeery neat..... Here's the pre-compiled 64-bit binary of the most recent version running in Xenialpup64:- [Click to enlarge] https://i.postimg.cc/Yh5h84Pf/Screengif.gif You can change the time format; there's a whole bunch of alternatives. Or you can set your own custom ...

@ wanderer/rockedge:- Y'know, that's a darned good idea, actually.....and kudos to wanderer for not being afraid to come straight out and say it. Nobody can really expect rockedge to cover all the costs out of his own pocket, even if he were willing to do so.....and I'm quite certain some members wo...

Nice one, Darren. Cheers!

@ ThruHammer:- Just one point:- Re; your suggestion of a 'local' area for member's images, screenshots, etc. Fine in theory, but over time this could easily grow to be a sizeable 'drain' on server resources; although rockedge is no doubt using more up-to-date equipment than John was, resources are n...

Thanks for that explainer, Will. I was going to do something similar myself; David's had an 'on-going' issue with this for a while now... I don't have the problem; I only briefly experimented with 64-bit "Slacko" Pups, came to the conclusion that I didn't really like them, and settled with...

@ mikeslr:- Thanks for the recap, Mike. And no; I couldn't care less whether me or thee posts about anything; so long as there's a relevant post available on the forum somwhere about any particular subject, it makes no difference whether you post first, or I do. It's not a contest, is it? If you thi...
