Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Drivers subforum of the 'Addtional Software' forum? Not too intuitive I think,

Agree, but they are software drivers.

Maybe the Drivers subforum of the 'Addtional Software' needs some subsections
But what subsections?

OS: Bionic puppy 64Bit If this is Bionicpup64 8.0. Quickpet icon on desktop. First run Quickpet->Info->bionicpup updates Reboot so the changes and bug fixes are now being used. May need to install this apulse pet package https://puppylinux.rockedge.org/viewtopic.php?p=1128#p1128 How exactly did you...

I seem to be able to get it running in Fossapup64 9.0.4

I do have the Fossapup64 devx and kernel sources sfs's loaded.

Maybe it needs them.

You can get them and load using Quickpet->Useful->

Tell me how I could explain where .jwmrc is located if I showed them this diagram? This was about the very first diagram of the file system. It did not have /root shown on the diagram! If i tried to tell someone to look in /root and find .jwmrc file. The first thing they would say is "there is...

I suggested GPLv3.
As I understand it.
GPLv2 requirements are all covered in GPLv3.
It clears up some of the wording for better understanding.
Puts it more inline with world requirements, that different countries require, for license to work, in their countries laws.

Frugalpup is an installer program to use to do frugal installs of Puppy.

It also gives option to install a boot loader.
UEFI boot loader.
Legacy bios boot loader.
Or both.

For UEFI with secure boot enabled.
It can install a puppy security key (required by secure boot).

Yes.
nluug is in the Netherlands.
ibiblio is in the United States, where I am located, and a lot closer to me. One state over.

I added a statement about 3rd party software.
See my edited post.

Would this work? A simple legal link be placed on the bottom of the forum home page. It would take you to a statement something like this: All software or program code, you develop and post in this forum, is released under the rules of GNU General Public License GPL3. If you do not agree to this. An...

This seems to provide the old murga Puppy Linux forum home page.
https://web.archive.org/web/20200110191 ... com/puppy/
Seem to be able to navigate to different topics.

What happens if, along with changing the time zone, you also check, change, select the date and time? Use set date and time. Even if it is showing correct date and time. Use this program to apply the correct setting. But, if you use no save. This is not going to help between boots. The set date and ...

This is a very good program for what it is suppose to do. However, it is in need of some updating, to work correctly, in newer Puppy versions. All the recent Puppy versions have issues. Pwidgets installs and runs. But several of the select-able items, do not function or completely function. If someo...

Starts the download, but it is very, very, very slow. As far as I remember, sometimes there were exactly the same loading slowdowns in xenialpup and bionicpup. And they appeared randomly. It is unlikely that this is a specific fossapup problem. It is a Quickpet problem, by using nluug as the reposi...

9.0.4 RC2

Quickpet->Useful->extra firmware sfs
Tries to go to old murga puppy forum.

9.0.4, frugal, using save folder. Fresh clean install. Reboot after making save folder. Quickpet->Drivers->nvidia 440 Seems to go to correct location to download the nvidia 440 pet package. Starts the download, but it is very, very, very slow. Screenshot.jpg Note: Also applies to anything that Quick...

What is the computer? Has the cmos battery been changed? If the CMOS battery in your computer or laptop dies, the machine will be unable to remember its hardware settings when it is powered up. It is likely to cause problems with the day-to-day use of your system. The CMOS battery maintains computer...

This is Puppy Linux. It is different than other Linux OS's. The file system layout is different. Stop explaining what it is in other Linux OS's. ... Tell me how I could explain where .jwmrc is located if I showed them this diagram? Sorry, that is nonsense. [Flawless sound defense here] Well, I earn...

Good to hear we helped. Do not get to hung up about what goes where in the file system. Just run programs and let them do their thing. Navigating in the Rox file manager. It starts always showing the ~root directory. Use the up arrow, top left of Rox window. That goes to showing the complete file sy...

Anyone got a pet package of the newest change_kernels? Know how to make a pet package of it? All the new files are at Woof-CE, but the parts are separate code files. I assume, if a new Puppy version is made using Woof-CE build system. The newest version of change_kernels will be in it. https://githu...

Note: This works for Puppy installed as a frugal or live install on a drive location that is read/write. The frugal install must have a save file/folder and be booted using the save. All recent Puppy versions have the program change_kernels. If there is no menu entry to run. In a terminal or consol...

All recent Puppy versions have the program change_kernels. If there is no menu entry to run. In a terminal or console change_kernels This program will automatically take care of replacing the old kernel files and renaming the replacement files. All that is needed is placing the required files, from ...

When you install Puppy. Do a frugal install. Some features of Puppy, only work, on frugal installs. It is a complete install of the OS, but in a special way. As small as Puppy is, with most of Puppy loaded into RAM (as a frugal install), a SSD drive is not going to be that much different except for ...

Desktop drive icons control:
menu->System->Puppy Event Manager->Rox Icons

When you change a setting.
For them to take affect.
Check refresh/realign
Click OK.

However, it will at best, still have one single drive icon on desktop.

but I will probably delete the full install soon. The ‘precise5.7.1.frugal’ folder only contains one file “ATAHD”. Hold on. Keep the full install, for now. If that is all that is in the precise5.7.1.frugal folder. You do not have a frugal install. All the files, that are in the precise 5.7.1.iso, s...

The ‘precise5.7.1.frugal’ folder only contains one file “ATAHD”.

That is not a frugal install.
So keep the full install, for now.
That folder should have a bunch of files in it.
Everything that is in the precise 5.7.1.iso.

Mouse pointer in console write area.
3 button mouse:
Center mouse button click
2 button mouse:
Both mouse buttons clicked at same time.

Support is not really a good way to look at it. It is where does Puppy get the core Linux files and programs, used to make it a Linux OS? All Linux OS's need and use these same files. Puppy Linux does not have a repository of all Linux files and programs. So Puppy Linux gets them, from other Linux O...

You must be smarter than the software you are coding :ugeek: Did anyone see you do it? If yes. Something is wrong with the CPU flux junction switcher on this computer :shock: Or some other high technical sounding statement! Proven again! The thing you do not tell us is usually the clue to solving th...
