Warning: The boot loaders installed by Frugalpup installer are not configured to setup Windows for booting. Not configured for duel booting Windows and Puppy. As the Frugalpup installer help says: Warning: When using FrugalPup or DiskPup to install Puppy on a uefi computer with Windows already inst...

Diskpup seems to do an install of both boot loaders, UEFI, mbr. But, i see nothing for the Puppy security key. So, it probably requires secure boot disabled, CSM enabled, or legacy boot enabled in UEFI bios setup. Wonder if gyro needs to fix Diskpup to provide the Puppy security key? :idea: Note: I ...

Drive labels are going to depend on number of drives on the computer. So, you do need to be careful to select the correct drive label, when offered to select. This is what I do. Use Gparted program. Setup the USB stick with 2 partitions. First one, small 300MB, fat32 format, flagged boot, esp. (loca...

Maybe explaining it this way, you will understand better. JWM is the window manager used by official Puppy Linux versions. You start a program and it is displayed in a JWM window. JWM themes control the color of parts of that window. (usually the top of the window and the wording and icons in it) JW...

Thanks!
One of the best Linux games.

The window look is being provided by two things. JWM themes (window manager) -->Decoration of menu, tray, and window border. GTK themes -->appearance of items inside the window. So, you have to make changes to windows using: Whatever program(s), is in the Puppy version, to change gtk theme and JWM t...

Any program you installed or settings you changed, just before this shutdown issue started?

I think so. Here is what is in a gtkrc file: This one makes the window have a Star Trek LCARS look. gtk-color-scheme = "bg_color: #000000000000\nfg_color: #ffffff\nbase_color: #ffffffffffff\ntext_color: #000000\nselected_bg_color: #ffffff\nselected_fg_color: #000000000000\ntooltip_bg_color: #00...

/Usr/share/themes is where the window themes live..... The GTK themes They could be an actual set of icons. Or a config file (gtkrc) Or both. What is a GTKRC file? Settings file used by GTK+, a toolkit used for building graphical user interfaces; stored in a plain text format and contains settings ...

/usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps is usually where the active desktop icon set is kept.

The icons in /usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps change to that themes icons.

The computer I have is a HP Stream 14 laptop. Running Bionicpup64 8.0 and Fossapup64 9.xxxx. If you buy a new computer of any type. You will need to use one of the newer Puppy versions and probably one using series 5 Linux kernel. A lot of the hardware support is in the kernel. Any older versions of...

Probably that PPM install of Firefox did not get all the info it needed, to know what exactly got installed.
Thus what exactly to uninstall.

I would still suggest installing Firefox from Quickpet->Browser

Any program you installed or settings you changed, just before this shutdown issue started?

Just to eliminate one possibility.

Do a shutdown and just leave the computer as it is, even if it still seems powered on.

Come back after about 15 minutes.
Does it still seem powered on?

Exactly what is the computer? Make and model? Do you know if the computer is old style legacy bios or UEFI? Exactly how are you doing the install? Details?? Using what installer program? Hard drive is partitioned how? What format are partition(s)? What boot loader is installed on the hard drive? Is ...

What is the computer?
Make and model?

Shutdown is by menu->Exit->Shut Down??

All x86 processor computers can boot and run Puppy Linux. Secure boot enabled is not a big problem. gyro developed the Frugalpup Installer program, that can install a fully functional UEFI boot loader and a Puppy security key, for secure boot. I am posting this from a very new UEFI computer, with se...

Puppy Package Manager(PPM)->Uninstall I would keep apulse installed by the apulse pet package. When you get Firefox uninstalled. Reboot to make sure the change is saved.

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?

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.
