@Sofiya Well-that fresh dl and install worked beautifully. Don't know why I didn't think of it sooner. Old age kicks in once in a while, I'm guessing.
Time for me to shut down for the day. Thanks again for your help.

After installing intel graphic driver instead of using the modesetting as default. (/etc/X11/xorg.conf), MPV does not work after a reboot. I have Intel HD Graphics 530 card on the motherboard....

Is there anything in the file /etc/environment?

Exactly what did you do to install Intel driver?

nothing in the file /etc/environment.
to install intel, I edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf, changed the line
Driver "modesetting" #card0driver to
Driver "intel" #card0driver and rebooted.
confirmed with the attached photo and mpv fails to load, closes after one second...

there seems to be a little glich/error when runing brave on facebook reels - sometimes the sound comes on -
but the picture freezes. then after maybe 3 seconds, sound and picture gets synchronised?
it doesnt do that in brave running on imppup? is there a fix for this?

Thanks...ETPs IPTV works!

Sometimes doing something, that is using the Internet to provide it, could just be the Internet at the time you do it.

If it is not doing this all the time.

Hard to figure out what is the cause.

I assume the preference settings in Brave are the same in both installs.
The same version of Brave?

so I not longer have a CD. i have a USB flash drive.

I am using Bionicpup64 currently.

So the steps to install f96-CE_2 on a flash drive from which I can boot it is?

I tried changing to intel driver in xorg.

MPV not working for me.

Glxgears will not work.

Change to modesetting driver.

Both now working.

So for now, I am going to use the modesetting driver.

I keep seeing info that the Intel driver is not as well supported and being kept bug fixed.

You download the iso, and then mount it by clicking it in Rox, which opens another Rox window showing the iso contents. Copy the files to a directory on your USB stick named something like: /fossapup64_9.6 then run grub4dos or frugal installer using grub2, whichever fits your machines bios boot protocol better.

I haven't run Bionic for some time, but I think it should have the iso mounter built in and grub4dos for sure.

@gychang

For me, MPV works smoothly with the intel video driver when F96-CE is installed on my ThinkPad Yoga laptop with builtin Intel Graphics [8086:0f31].

Possibly, the intel driver does not fully support your specific display hardware.

For example, some older intel video chips do not fully support the default intel 'sna' acceleration, in which case some applications may malfunction or even crash. You could try switching to 'uxa' acceleration as described here:

viewtopic.php?p=79236#p79236

Alternatively, as BigPup suggested, maybe reverting to the working modesetting driver is your best option.

Thanks your instructions were perfect. Once again a painless puppylinux install. I used the grub4dos after moving the files.

What is the app displaying on the right hand side. Can it be configured?

following up on my new exploration of F96-CE_2.
Figured out the app on the right hand size was conky. np

I realize that many users are Google-Chrome adverse.
I prefer to use it. I downloaded and installed the latest .deb release and it cries that there isn't a directory in /root. and thus not function.

Is there an appimage of anydesk that is F96-CE_2 useable. I use this application in Bionicpup64 to help my relatives on thier computers, ie. Windows computers.

Thanks in advance.

@ndujoe2 The best method is to use one of @mikewalsh's portable browser versions.

This is the one for Google-Chrome -> viewtopic.php?t=146

you might be abel to fix the current one you have by creating the missing directory. But you'll be better off using the portable version,

@ndujoe2 :-

Two snags with trying to use the .deb directly under Puppy.

One, it expects to find a standard, restricted-permissions multi-user environment.....that's what it's been written to work with.

Two, it has a nasty habit of screwing-up CUPS permissions on the pup_rw layer.

If we don't run it as restricted user 'spot', it absolutely will not run. Won't have anything to do with us. Which is why I can't understand what you mean by 'can't find a directory in /root'. It doesn't want to know about /root..!

The portable-Chrome keeps everything in one location, along with re-enforcing permissions (via 'chown') in its self-contained 'spot' environment every time you launch it. And it'll keep itself 'current' via the built-in updater.....

1. Add the PET to your F96
2. Open F96's Menu>Internet>Get Latest Chrome Version

@ndujoe2 :-

Heh. I wouldn't say they're averse to Chrome itself (it's a darned good browser; I've used it ever since its inception, all the way back in Autumn 2008).....they're just averse to 'Big Brother' rootling through their data and doing with it what they will!

Hence why UnGoogled Chromium is becoming so popular. The build I use - by one "Marmaduke" - includes Widevine, and all the necessary bits'n'bobs to play back any media with ease.....but it's had every single Google API and/or 'hook' removed. With extreme prejudice!

(Makes installing extensions/themes from the AppStore an interesting excercise, though it IS 'doable' when you know how...)

Annoyingly the browser wouldn't give me sound.

And upon opening multi tabs came up.

Anyway not to worry...I will run an older Pet and see if it works..see if it updates.

My attitude these days if that is all that goes wrong...It's not such a bad thing.

Ventoy I would like to work though.
Cheers,,,Chris.
