Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I know that Debian has some packages that fail at runtime in a non-usrmerge system because they assume something exists in /bin while in reality it's there only when /bin and /usr/bin have the same contents. From my experience, I think that apt is smart enough to detect usr-merged or not-usr-merged...

Anyway, maybe it will work also with KL_full2fr, but I suspect it won't. Reason I think not is that I note the main rsync while loop is searching through loaded sfs files, but full2frugal uses actual uncompressed Linux Mint on main partition as the root_filesystem layer. In fact, seems save2flash i...

Whilst I only tested this in Airedale-sr12 I believe it applies to all KL distros (assuming sr12 uses latest save2flash/snapmergepuppy). Though most users stick with root desktop, I do not always. I believe the script snapmergepuppy also needs the following line at the top: [ "`whoami`" !...

Btw, rc12 doesn't seem to have the latest save2flash installed (has v1.6) , but I tested same as above after installing latest v1.9 and same result, works also fine for me. I will have to double check but I think I updated to save2flash-1.8 in the current sr12 ISO that is available. I will upgrade ...

Lets say you are autologged in as user spot and in directory /home/spot there is a file already embedded in the 07KLV-Airdale-sr12.sfs at location /home/spot/filea (where filea can be any already existing file in that layer of the overlay). Let's say we remove that filea; the result should be a typ...

You !!! Freaks.

I have been using the latest version (2.53.18.2) Everything I have tried to do, using it, seems to be working. Reading the info provide here: https://www.seamonkey-project.org/ It seems to be actively getting updated and improved. Using the same Mozilla Firefox source code that Firefox browser uses...

Though most users stick with root desktop, I do not always. I believe the script snapmergepuppy also needs the following line at the top: [ "`whoami`" != "root" ] && exec sudo ${0} No objection to add that on top of snapmergepuppy, but I think it's not supposed to run sn...

I'm curious, Whats the latest puppy distros that everyone has focus on lately. Fossapup or Bionic? I see a lot of posts about those two pups, are these the two main "big dogs"?

IMO, BookwormPup64 and F96-CE too (edit: probably more suitable for modern computers).

Today I tried to upgrade all packages ( apt upgrade ) on my Sid build I made earlier this year. It failed badly :thumbdown: (lots of package were "held" and I couldn't make them "upgrade", tried with aptitude too (as it's able to search for solutions) but no luck). Reason is the ...

In Debian Sid, many packages have been changed (specially "lib" packages) recently to "64bit-time" (these packages have appended "t64" to the name) See: https://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals/64bit-time From what I understand, that (one of the :?: ) reason(s) is to keep s...

Persona Non Grata Not in my view! When I don't see any posts from you for awhile I'm thinking the systems must be running well and as expected :thumbup: Couldn't have gotten this far without your help. Not in my view too ! You made valuable contributions. geo_c sort of provocation perhaps :?: I don...

I'd say with two scripts to toggle blocking (or just run the command line inside) (different way than toggling with a .BAK file) To add youtube block: #!/bin/bash # add youtube block echo "#Youtube block 0.0.0.0 www.youtube.com " >> /etc/hosts To remove youtube block: #!/bin/bash # remove ...

Screensaver utility, works with xlock (from package xlockmore) and xautolock ,(both available in Void repo). Originally written by rg66 and Geoffrey, in 2013 (as included in x-tahr). Made many modifications to make it work for KLV: Supported when logged in as user "spot" Does not activate ...

What do the people who use other distros do for portable apps? Nothing I guess , the portable apps from Mike are shared in this Puppy forum and probably most are designed to use from Puppy only (edit: some exceptions perhaps, but don't know which) (edit; I hope this time you are not going to call t...

I think the definition of "bug" is something like "doesn't work as 'advertised', or 'expected', so important is when sharing something is to mention e.g. 'note: works only with that' and 'note that: doesn't work when doing this or that'. So IMO often the whole point is how much detail...

It depends, some portable browsers from Mike are setup to run "as-spot" (using the run-as-spot script included in most Puppies). So in that case a distro needs to have a 'spot' user included (and a run-as- spot script) and no mainstream distro like MX or Antix or Ubuntu have it, so won't w...

Update: about my previous posts not being able to boot KLV ISO from Ventoy ! Tested now with installing Ventoy to another USB stick and... no problem booting KLV ISO :D . (should have tried that earlier, to be sure what was causing it :oops: , sorry for the trouble !) So the problem was with my &qu...

@fredx181 Using Ventoy usb stick on newish Levova ThinkBook 14s Yoga Gen 2 This laptop has nvme hard drives (two actually) per gparted screenshot Thus the Ventoy usb appears on sda per gparted screenshot Booted KLV-Airedale-sr12 without issue ..... I can only suggest there might be some issue with ...

I think "Do Ocracy" is a bit like 'Anarchy'. With Anarchy, if most people have a high standard of responsibility and love for each other, all goes well, why not?. With "Do Ocracy" it's similar IMO, someone will 'do' something, may get feedback from others, takes it seriously and ...

Booted Ventoy bare-metal and launched GRUB2 KLVA-vSR12 to desktop. Thanks, good to know! Question: don't know if you followed in this thread i.e. the talking about nvme vs sda HDD partitions (as I said I have nvme HDD partitions and booting ISO from Ventoy USB doesn't work for me). Does your HDD ha...

wiak I tested booting sr12 with Ventoy USB on my very old laptop (from 2007) and it booted fine (only got a very "darkish" screen, but that's another (kernel?) issue). Perhaps interesting to mention: After search for the ISO (was found correctly on sdb1, the HDD is sda) there was a messag...

Isn't that from qemu again ?

@Clarity are you able to test sr12 with Ventoy directly from USB (without using qemu) ?, curious if it does work for anyone else.

Yes, all good, klv-airedale latest is booting fine from Ventoy exfat partition using latest FR initrd and Void kernel and initrd with embedded modules Sorry to say. Still not good for me, kernel panic again. Used the new sr12 ISO, all seems fine in theory (decompressed initrd.gz and noticed latest ...

Tried booting KLV-HyprlandCE-5.0.iso from Ventoy, sorry to say @Sofiya still got kernel panic, did you test from Ventoy ? Btw, extracted the initrd.gz and noticed in init that exfat is in the module list, so that seems ok (exfat is indeed not in the init of KLV-Airedale as wiak suspected), but prob...

Tested now with older Ventoy v1.0.95 and indeed same issue with KLV (kernel panic). Also tested now latest KLV hyprland with Ventoy; KLV-HyprlandCE-4.1.iso from Sofiya , result: kernel panic :( . Again, just reporting my findings, no big deal for me personally. But please anyone, test, so we can sha...
