I think you may also have to change the default to NO SAVE.
Otherwise after your 5 second delay it will automatically SAVE won't it?

I don´t think so.
If the enter key is not pressed within 5 sec., the session will not be saved (as the dialog says).

@MochiMoppel ,
sorry, I didn't say I'm in pupmode 13. I usually make the changes at a start of the session and use save button to save them.
Anyway thanks for your reply.

@fredx181 ,
this is exactly what I wanted .
Thank you

I use VanillaDpup64 9.2.6. and I never save session on shutdown. Till now I always pressed the tab key or the right arrow key to switch to NO SAVE and then confirmed with enter key. Unfortunatelly in some puppies the keys do nothing in this situation or they become active after some time. In this ca...

In general, I only save the settings of everything and additionally installed apps. I never save personal or other data into save. I always turn off the automatic saving and only save what I want. Usually at the beginning of a session I change what I want, save the changes and then the session conti...

By default, the JWM menu generator removes the %U at the end of the Exec= line. How did you start VLC? I started the VLC from the tray. But now I found that running VLC from the menu or terminal is without error message. Can you share your ~/.jwmrc? <?xml version="1.0"?> <JWM> <!-- versio...

I also use these pups. I usually do the backup of the savefolder with Utility->Pupsave Backup. Once the backup of the savefolder is created, I get a choice during boot what savefolder to boot into and there is also the choice "none" (which is the clean install). Or try the trick with "...

Hello, I´d like to share my observation (or maybe my confusion?) when using VanillaDpup64 9.2.4: 1/ I installed VLC player with synaptic. After first launch the vlc shows this error message: Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'file:///home/spot/%25U'. Check the log for details...

It could be later version of SeaMonkey (currently 2.53.12) or even Pale Moon? Hello nguyen9173, I don´t use Seamonkey but I think Fatdog team recently provided an updater for this browser (available via Fatdog control panel?). Palemoon is also available in Fatdog. Sometimes I install it temporarily...

There is Buster-8.0 by radky, it is similar to the stretch 7.5, very good too.

Any idea if there is a support thread?

VLC just does not start. Try running vlc in terminal: In rox navigate to the location of the vlc executable file. Right-click in the rox window area, then select "window"->"terminal here". In this open terminal window enter ./nameOfTheExecutableFile The terminal should return a ...

Duprate, I do it similarly. In most cases I do not use Savefile with the connected partition. Everything I boot is in that case a compressed .sfs file. Here on the forum I previously read that it would be the solution to do regularly md5sum of these files to verify that nothing was modified. However...

.How about Fatdog64-812? Any way to have this "Apple look"? Hello, I played a little in Fatdog now (my main "dog" OS). I have never used the Apple OS. I just remember foggy what it looks like. I use Compiz Window Manager. It can be downloaded with the Fatdog's SFS manager as a ....

Any idea what the red line represents?

The prime meridian?

"The base time zone is the time zone in which UTC applies and that extends around the prime meridian" (source: wikipedia)

Feek

venn, I may be wrong... But whatever you want to be executable, it has to have permissions for it. I would check it by right clicking on the executable file -> choose "properties" and look if the three boxes "Exec" are ticked. If not, then tick them and click "refresh".

step, actually, I am aware that the QuickApps program is in Fatgog. When I started using Fatdog, I tried to set it, out of curiosity. At that time I wasn't really impressed because I was dealing with other things. But today I played with it and found that it fully suits my purposes. I can set only o...

@amethyst
thank you for the tip

JakeSFR, thank you for the explanation. It's more clear to me now. I browsed to /aufs/pup_multi/root/Desktop_launchers/Quick_apps and there live even more triangles :lol: (attachment). I tried to remove the ".wh." files and it worked as you described but only for the current session. After...

I use quick access to my favourite apps. It's a directory with symlinked .desktop files (symbolic link relative). This directory (in root) is dragged onto the desktop, has its icon and a keyboard shortcut (alt+x). Time to time I add or remove some apps. Adding is without a problem but removing of so...

You can switch the user agent (e.g. by adding an extension to your browser).

This site could provide you some usefull information:

The advantage of it is that you don't need to run a browser page to translate, it's very convenient IMO. I absolutely agree. It is very very comfortable. The moment I learned to use this app, I realized how great it is. I use it basically every day and it works in all my installed dogs/puppies. But...

Feek

Didn't read through all this but just saw in a previous post that it seems to use the online translator engines? So you need to be online to use it? If so, I don't really see the purpose of the application....., may as well just open the google translate page to copy and translate :roll: The advant...

Then run the browser as spot - not as root otherwise some profile files will end up under root's ownership once again. Regardless, make sure that spot owns the files in /home/spot or you could run into different issues in the future. step, thanks for the recommendation. You're probably right. In th...

@vin , you can also try to download an older version of Libreoffice as an sfs file from Puppus Dogfellow and load it on-the-fly. @Feek In order to try out your suggestion, I downloaded .pet & .sfs files. Installed .pet and then .sfs Got messages of successful installation. Upon running calc, th...

I use Freetube as an alternative to playing videos on YT.
The use of computer resources is also not exactly low, but on my machine it seems to be a little better than a browser+YT.
