@Rufwoof Multi-session ...+1

Thanks for proper placement of this thread's request for help. OK, extended attribs....??? What is creating these attribs? And should there be some/any attention paid for when files get these assigned? Right now, the attribs, as you say, are only on a few of the ISOs in this folder. Most of the othe...

Could someone explain why some file have these while most dont? I cannot find an explanation.Thanks in advance

Hi 666PhilB There are 2 issues begin exposed in this post FossaPUP64 missing components from GParted Gparted CANNOT read, neither, partitions that are formatted as ExFAT or BTRFS. Does it require an upgrade or kernel changes? Gparted missing driver.jpg :?: Multimedia commands missing Image processin...

GroovyPUP64 upgrade?

Found this today. but couple questions. Will it be announce on the forum by the author?

For FossaPUP consideration 666PhilB , Your current setup has been inspirational is various unintended ways. Here's an example; For many years, PUPs are developed with Background that usually has the PUP's name in the Background screen. This is nice and also helpful. But, you have introduced somethi...

This, WOTD thread, is another forward thinking utility that exceeds the normal expectation of a typical Linux desktop.

This utility offers to "cast" photos to a casting device on our LAN as well as the desktop function it gives.

WOW! GRRRRRR88888!

This is one of the more forward-thinking additions from a forward-thinker! :thumbup2: It helps us to understand the benefit when our systems vocally alert us to issues. This should get all of us thinking about this kind of behavior as we barrel ahead in time. Thanks for this and I hope for many more...

Hi michel804 I think you may be getting your GRUBs mixed-up. MikeSLR is helping us with GRUB2 steps. Menu.lst is used by the other GRUB... Not as GRUB2 configurations. ON ANOTHER NOTE It is hoped that sometime in the future, the 2020 PUPs will start to ship with GRUB2 built into the system base. Thi...

A stupid question from a stupid user (me) . What is missing in a RT kernel that the normal kernel have? Is a RT kernel recommended for any general purpose system where multiple or many multiple things are being done? The ONLY way I know to reduce latency is to dedicate the OS+Application such that n...

AH-HA! Motherboard mic and mic via webcam. They each need instructions of how? I am curious on how to do this in EASY

boof you can help by sharing couple of items. If you are using a PUPPY distro, like LxPUPSc64 or FossaPUP64 or FATDOG, EVERYTHING you need to access files on other computers and make available files you have is all built-in. There is NOTHING you need to add to your system. Let's start with your abi...

Anyone had ANY experience using this filesystem in Puppyland? Seemingly it embraces multiple positive qualities that are useful, as seen here . Further, it looks as thought it handles on-the-fly compression (if setup with it) such that 50% more data can be stored, than normal on its partition(s). Do...

I also need to do some reading as well. This is really pretty simple. Download it, make a CD/DVD or USB (both of these boot in 3 seconds). That's it. Add your 2020 PUP ISOs to your folder "/BOOTISOS" or use the enclosed one on the USB. Whenever you 3 second boot to the start Menu, and hit...

Although this thread is about a service to boot our 2020 PUPs, I must take a moment to THANK the WoofCE team who took it up for our benefit to create a compliant boot feature companion statement in their GRUB2-EFI support! Without their efforts to make it easy for us, we would not be able to enjoy t...

Does it mean that you need a UEFI machine to run SuperGrub2? NO! Look at the site provided above. If you choose to download the ISO, its only 15MB. And if you create it on a CD/DVD, it boots in 6 seconds on a old BIOS PC. If you have a folder on your system, preferably on the root of a drive that h...

And size, per se, does NOT translate to performance nor functionality or lack thereof. I say this not to disagree. I say it just to emphasize Puppy is loved in the modern times to functionality it has brought to us. Its package selections are traditionally wonderful. The size you mention seems to b...

Glad you ask. Here's some info from those more knowledgible than us.

Are we still chasing small size or is it not cool and modern anymore? This is a separate discussion, I think. Not necessarily a FossaPUP or any modern PUP one. In 2003, our lives were still a bashion of 486s, Pentium Pros, and Pentium 1s: We also had to live with dial-up for much of the world, and ...

Wow Rufwoof . That may be a circumvent to the need for a utility. Essentially as you explain to get a "combined" session file in FD810 I should Boot with Multi-session option(s) I use Rename or delete ALL of the prior sesssion files Click the desktop's "Save session" icon I'll tr...

@MochiMoppel Here's an option that might help your diag along.

Create an DVD (or CD) from the ISO and boot to get messages that will show it working or get diagnosis.

AHA! Thanks @tallboy!!! :thumbup2: Then there is a utility or a script or a function that will take all of the multi-session files it finds and combine them. Now to try to find out where that utility is. Edit: Opps, there is one difference...the DVD's files are not SFSs. But maybe that utility will ...

No that is not the objective. AND THANKS for your suggestion to use cp command. i assume you are suggesting to EXPAND EACH Multi-session SFS file into series of folders, then to build some sort of a cp command to copy each folder one after the other into a single folder. I found a discussion on the ...

I had reported earlier that about a fix for Chrome browser installation using @ETP's Installer PET. Happy to report that @ETP's Chrome Installer PET works marvelously to upgrade the browser to lastest v85. It insures a correct installation as it guides steps to follow for uninstall and upgrade. Furt...

Thanks, not exactly, but, offers a pathway to capture the multi-session files.

No not really. I work in sessions. So I understand what is done whenever I am operating and all things I do are contained within a session. By maintaining the sessions on disk, I can individually select when and if I need to backtrack and I tend to know when certain things are done by looking at the...

I am sure someone(s) has found a way to do this, so I ask for some guidance or your script. I have, now, 5 multisession files on my HDD and they are found by taking the 3rd boot option from FD810 boot screen to gather them at boot and 2 save anew, if necessary, at shutdown. Would anyone be willing t...
