If you 'fix' it from your end, I don't have to do anything when I run mklive next time right? In that case, let me know if you decide to go through your to do list. :lol: I did put it on top of my todo list :D Shoiuld be fixed now when doing a new mklive build. In fact included will be the "ae...

Well... for info, tried aero-drop on another install and didn't work, don't know why

dcung See my EDIT in previous post, it is the cursor theme you need to change, here's also "aero-drop". aero.tar.gz Extract and replace "aero" in ~/.icons and it should be fixed (may need a restart X) edit: posted at the same time, I see now you solved with Adwaita cursor theme....

dcung It may be because of the default theme (old Greybird theme, not completely supporting gtk3, I've put it on my todo list to fix that), same problem with synaptic. Selecting/installing another theme will probably solve it. EDIT: Correction, for me it's the cursor theme that needs changed, I ins...

Nope, just wondering if you are using a NVME drive installed in a PCIe adapter and if so can you boot from it?

Thanks
wizard

Ah sorry, didn't realize it's specific about when using the adapter, I just have nvme drive in my laptop.

Does your installation show up as a boot drive? If you mean the partition where the puppy is frugal installed for me, yes (also the drive where the bootloader is installed btw (FAT32 grub2 EFI) edit: perhaps you mean if it's labeled as boot drive? don't know. /mnt/home is pointing to the correct dr...

Query:- Would copying it across from a "backup" profile work (assuming you had one?)

I enabled DRM earlier when running older version 11.1 (and worked ok) , then updated to newest v11.3.2 and still ok, so yes ,I think using a profile from e.g. v11.1 or 11.2 should work .

I, too, can't figure out why the internal updater doesn't work. From version 11.2 on, the internal updater does work for me. For those who don't like the automatic updates (like me ;) ), just place the "distribution" folder in the "midori" directory (same as can be done with Fir...

.... Rollback is an defining end. How it is accomplished should not be definitive. Frugal install might be definitive, does it matter if the filesystem uses sfs's? more? Probably much more, but I think the question is: Who decides ? There's no authority present atm who can make some sort of "l...

Does Puppy show desktop drive icons for the drive? Yes, for me it does ok on FossaPup and BookwormPup. (but names are a bit truncated because of the name length, I guess. EDIT: on Fossapup only, but not truncated, just overlapping each other a bit)) Do they seem to mount and UN-mount OK? Yes. What ...

For who updated to latest v11.3.2, report about enabling DRM : viewtopic.php?p=117578#p117578

ponchale With earlier versions 11.1 and 11.2 enabling DRM (setting up Widevine) worked, not with the newest version 11.3.2 . Only works if you had enabled DRM on older version already (and updated to 11.3.2) , so that it is installed in the profile folder, not when you start with v11.3.2 "fres...

Our distros are community based, built from a variety of base systems, and don't really fit into DWs perception of a separate distribution.

Yes, well said. That's the reality IMO.

Indeed. I think that this forum is the best source to find the Puppy that suits you the most, there are many choices (ok, too much ) (or/and any other "portable" or "frugal install concept' such as other 'Puppy-like' distros that are shared here).

I feel like this is caused by these services that the host server uses like CloudFlare and similar that are used to enhance security and supposed to speed up the caches.. I can SSH directly into the server and look around with Htop and there is nothing out of the ordinary happening there. I will lo...

For me it's slow now, seems to depend on the time of day, yesterday it was slow in the morning, but ok in the evening.
EDIT: just 10 min later, it's fast again

What is the difference between KLV-Airedale-rc15 and KLV-Airedale-sr12 ? Which one should I try? Better KLV-Airedale-sr12, it's latest "stable release" (sr), ("rc" is "release candidate") I just noticed there is another version of KLV-Airedale using a different kernel....

Governor I agree with Mike, you really cannot expect that stuff shared on this "Puppy" Linux forum works in other distros . So if you mention something like "doesn't work on MX", it's in fact very off-topic posting, stop it. EDIT: Just to be clear (as you ask "how-to ... ?&...

If you want better compatibility with Ubuntu and Ubuntu packages, usrmerge is the safer bet

Hopefully Debian will support better "backwards compatibility", it would be a shame if not

Update required for the UpdateMidori script (inside Midori-Portable64 dir) Thanks to geo_c for mentioning (in other thread) that the script failed to update the portable midori. Reason, basically; the midori download url had been changed in the meantime. New UpdateMidori script with fix attached, re...

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.
