Hello Mike,

I was wondering if you created a .desktop file for this like you did for "Ungoogled Chromium".

Thanks in advance.

It says you are missing gawk. Do you have gawk set to "yes" in DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS?

Another thought is that it might not be finding gawk due to the search path. You could try chrooting into your puppy and seeing if gawk is working.

I formatted the drive by creating a dos partition table in gparted. I ran the dd command without the partion suffix: dd if=./fossapup64-9.5.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=4M the fix-usb.sh script worked with my modificaitons, although it was a bit of a hack. Here is the output: [root@Dpupbuster ~/Downloads] $ f...

hi all i am slowly taking out uneeded packages from the fossapup64 main.sfs by no-ing out entries in the distro-packages-specs file however this is a slow process because i have to test each deletion individually to see if it causes the x server to fail if anyone has an idea what can be removed and...

I thought I would try to apply the fatdog64 usb install instructions to fossapup64 and see what happens. This of course will only work if fossapup64 is created by isohybird and I think it is. The first step is the dd command: dd if=./fossapup64-9.5.iso of=/dev/sdc1 bs=4M This seems to take quite a w...

You can use iptables to direct everything through tor see: https://gitlab.torproject.org/legacy/trac/-/wikis/doc/TransparentProxy However, I recommend only sending encrypted traffic through tor. In other words don't send plain http traffic over tor. Only send https and other protocols with strong en...

In a previous post/thread , I wrote about some issue that one might want to consider when deciding how busybox fits into a modularization scheme. I wrote my first draft script. https://pastebin.com/iv1xGxKr I originally thought about basing it on a script I wrote for woof-next that creates a wrapper...

My windows 8.1 OS stopped working so I only use linux now.

s243a

now I prefer to only use busybox static to get things working Exactly the same conclusion was reached by the developers of one of the main branches of russian version of Puppy. True, they argue and swear all the time :) But the essence is the same. I prefer static busybox even though a dynamically ...

Bottom line = John Murga Forum will remain up and running as a read only archive. The future of how and where is being discussed actively. It would be nice if the John Murga Forum could be kept open for editing. Many Google searches point to posts in that forum and I see a benefit if the OP of such...

hi all so this is what i am doing i am going to manually move stuff from the normal fossapup64 iso into modules and make a minimal modular system from them i am going to use tinycore as a guide since they have already divided things out and solved the basic problems like symlinks etc fossapup64 alr...

s243a

hi s243a would you consider using the system where modules are manually broken out of isos by scripts rather than trying to rewrite woof-ce there seems to be overwhelming advantages to it and it think it would fit your advanced needs like chroot stuff etc william I will likely try it both ways.

s243a

When thinking about modularization, I realized that how to deal with busybox takes some special care. For instance, if all the symlinks were listed in a busybox.files or busybox.list or whatever a specific package manager uses, then the package manager would have to take special care when dealing wi...

like a build time in 1 minute or so on their own computer That quite an ambitious goal! However, One could try making an archive of common modules that would be a single download. If this significantly reduced the download time and the number of modules wasn't too great then I could imagine a rapid...

s243a

does woof-ce download the binaries from the target distro and make them into pets can the pets be then made into modules (sfs files) eliminating any need for an intermediate step IT's worth looking at the Readme here: Open a terminal in the woof-out_* directory. Download package database files ./0s...

s243a

here is another possibility of a minimal modular system let us say you have a number of different systems with different components if you made them into modules you could have an iso build script that only chose the modules that were compatible with that particular build That's sort of the idea I ...

s243a

Is development really driven by woof-CE, or do people tinker with their system and if they like the changes incorporate said changes into woof-CE. Woof is more of a build tool then a development tool. The build process is too time consuming to actually be the principle means of testing changes to a ...

Nvm, managed to make it work. Here how i did it: - (ssh-agent script i found) git clone https://github.com/intuited/sshag - source sshag/sshag - ssh-add privatekey - DONE To check if this work, one can use sshag after sourcing it to see if any key is loaded... Weird that i never had to use this on ...

s243a

But how do I make Woof-CE to download the packages from Hirsute Hippo instead of Focal Fossa? Of course I can use the Puppy packages from FossaPup, but I would need also the Ubuntu packages of Hirsute Hippo. Otherwise I would build again a FossaPup... I think you have to make a folder like this: /w...

s243a

I'm now added the ability to move the relevant metadata from woof-installed-packages https://pastebin.com/NLhSryMK For example here is what we get in the target folder which is the core/cli components from the base sfs https://pastebin.com/2PpaZ7fy this doesn't included busybox and root-fs puppy stu...

s243a

Just to be clear, is it the login password on the remote host that you are being asked for or the password to the private key store on your local machine? I'm guessing in the former case then it likely has to do with the configuration settings of the remote host (ssh server) and in the latter case i...

Hi. Someone out there, who can tell me the DISTRO_COMPAT_VERSION, DISTRO_DB_SUBNAME of the latest Ubuntu distribution? Thanks. Here is what is in /etc/DISTRO_SPECS for peebee 's upupHH+D (32bit): #One or more words that identify this distribution: DISTRO_NAME='UPupHH+D' #version number of this dist...

s243a

the problem here is not building an initrd that has busybox in it (all busybox symlinks should be in /bin) In the base sfs Fossapup64 doesn't put all busybox symlinks in /bin so I don't think we should change this. However, in the intird woof-CE already does put the busybox symlinks in /bin and thi...

s243a

Who is the target of the new Community Puppy? To whom will it be addressed? Geeks, Nerds and Developers? Or just Users? If its main target would be just Users, then that minimum base .iso should boot into a graphical desktop and it should have everything related to graphics and audio included. So, ...

s243a

hi s243a when last i manually broke apart puppy and the init file if the initrd could not find the main.sfs file it would drop to the busy box ash shell in the initrd for trouble shooting that is what we need to start with the bare minimum then other things will be added as sfs files one can do thi...

s243a

thank you very much s243a for all your work in my opinion the first iso should only include the 1. bootloader - syslinux 2. kernel 3. initrd - busybox only 4. and a main.sfs module with what the initrd copies over all it needs to do is boot to a busybox ash shell do you know how to build this in wo...

I added the ability to create a DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS, for the items that my script moved. Here is my modified script: https://pastebin.com/V06mBuKe Here is the DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS that was generated: #w469 fallbacks when looking for pet pkgs....

s243a

hi s243a thanks for your help and compassion my problems are that 1. i dont understand woof-ce well enough to know how it builds its iso We can work on that part later. You don't need an iso to do the testing. 2. i dont know the minimal packages in distro specs that are needed for a base I moved th...

s243a

hi taersh bit off more than i want to chew keep up the good work looking forward to your initrd fossapup64 is very modular already so no real change in the community puppy your initrd should solve the multiple sfs issue william Hello wanderer I have a pretty good script to delete buitin packages fr...
