@radky - thanks for that. Once I load coretemp , my real cpu temp is displayed at ...hwmon4/temp3_input . After the PC has been running for a while, that will be the highest (or equal highest) temp, whilst ...hwmon0/temp1_input is static 25C & ...hwmon1/temp1_input doesn't exist. When the PC is stone-cold, ..hwmon0/temp1_input (static 25C) will be the highest, so my latest .pet can fail if installed then, requiring /root/.config/pmcputemp/pmcputemprc to be deleted when the PC warms up, to facilitate re-detection. Tricky business indeed for all pups.

LATER: I recompiled gatotray so hwmon is checked in reverse - 4-3-2-1-0 & first temp found is used. My cpu temp displays changes now, without coretemp.
IF your temp display isn't working, can try .pet below at own risk. I added puninstall, so that if it doesn't work, uninstalling should restore original.

Info to you.
After getting the Nvidia driver to install and work in BookwormPup64 10.0.7.
See the topic on it.
viewtopic.php?t=12134

I went back to the topic on installing the Nvidia driver in BookwormPup64 10.0.6
Was not working anymore, because of driver change in the repository.

Well. I combined the two procedures, that added needed changes, and got the version 10.0.6, to also be able to install the latest driver in the repository.
Edited xwin and added the replacement tr file.
Used the apt commands used for 10.0.7

You can read the new procedure in the topic for BookwormPup64 10.0.6

Hello guys..
BookwormPup64 10.0.7 is a flexible tool for ardent readers, offering a smooth reading experience with its user-friendly design and adjustable features. Its most recent version includes increased performance and additional functions, increasing overall usefulness and delight for book lovers.

So Book-wormpup64 is about "reading". Sounds like nonsense post (spam?) to me.

Yeah, perhaps AI generated ?

Hi All,
I'm using BookwormPup64 10.0.7 with a Toshiba Satellite L750 laptop. I wish to ask a question about the operation of the battery level indicator. If I hover the mouse pointer over the icon I see the the battery condition as a percentage. If I click on the icon I get the information panel shown below. My question is about the item Alarm. as you can see it appears to be set to zero. I would like to be able to set this alarm to say 20% but I cannot find a way to do this. I have looked at/root/.config but cannot see anything that looks to be linked to this battery level indicator. Could somebody please point me in the right direction in terms of setting up the battery level alarm. If this is not possible can anybody suggest a battery level alarm that would work in BookwormPup64 10.0.7.

Regards,

Ken.

I use cbatticon from here:

https://github.com/valr/cbatticon

And I have a simple script, called cbatt in /root/Startup, that doesn't sound an alarm, but starts the game rubix if battery
level falls to 10%, and shuts down at 3%.

cbatticon -l 10 -o rubix -r 3 -c wmpoweroff

You can easily replace "-o rubix" with something to generate a sound.

I've just recently booted up Bookworm on a couple machines, and I've been setting it up the way I like, and it could be that the Synaptic package manager gives more information than say the ppm, but I wanted to check.

I was going to install w3m, and it appears it wants to install a gclib. I don't know if that's problematic or not.

If you know could you tell me? Thanks!

@geo_c

The Apt/Synaptic package manager evaluates the dependency tree and automatically installs the basic requisite dependencies of the selected package, and may offer additional packages (suggested and/or recommended) which may add functionality in some scenarios (but those extra packages are optional).

For example, in a terminal you could install w3m as follows:

Note: this will install the requisite w3m dependencies: libgpm2 and libgc1 (not glibc)

apt update && apt install w3m
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done

The following additional packages will be installed:
libgc1 libgpm2
Suggested packages:
gpm brotli cmigemo compface dict dict-wn dictd libsixel-bin mailcap w3m-el w3m-img xsel

The following NEW packages will be installed:
libgc1 libgpm2 w3m
0 upgraded, 3 newly installed, 0 to remove.
Need to get 1,362 kB of archives.
After this operation, 3,352 kB of additional disk space will be used.

Thanks, I did make the erroneous assumption that the library was a glibc, but I guess every package that has g, c, or lib in the name isn't a glibc.

I'll get familiar with the command line manager. I like using command line for package management, but not so much when searching (or browsing) for packages. The gui is handy that way.

WIth my installation of Fossapup64 the usb save file is loaded on both computers automatically. Great!
On my installation of Bookworm Pup the save file only loads on the original computer that I made it with. Not great?
I want to use the GNU Cash Version available for BookwormPup because the one for Fossapup has some problems. How do i make Bookworm Pup save file load at startup no matter what computer I am using like FOssapup does?

Hello @LANdpLAN
By either having the SAVESPEC file or specifying PSAVE at boot time.

• SAVESPEC contains the info that a WoofCE PUP will use to find its SAVE-sessions automatically without user intervention.

• PSAVE also will give the information for SAVE-session location but is manually (or added offline to the WoofCE PUP's menu) entered at boot time.

SAVEMARK

Create a text file called SAVEMARK in the install directory, that contains just a number.
This is the partition number for storing a savefolder, on the same drive as the install directory.
e.g. Puppy is installed on sda2 in '/pups/fossa64'. If the file '/pups/fossa64/SAVEMARK contains just the single character '4',
then Puppy will expect the savefolder to be on sda4 in '/pups/fossa64/fossapup64save'.
Note that the sub-directory is the same for both the install location and the save location.

How can I edit the files on my Bookworm pup USB if my Linux lite box reads it as a CD?

@LANdpLAN
The WoofCE author of it writes about it here.

Enjoy

How to indicate to Puppy where you want your savefolder to be located.
viewtopic.php?t=2622

You can manually create a SAVESPEC file and save it in the same folder where your boot files are saved. In it you can add something like this:

SS_ID='nvme3_ext3'
SS_DIR='/Bookworm_save'

My usb Keyboard and mouse work after startup and then after a while they stop. I can see them in hardware info and the lights are still on. The built in trackpad and keyboard work.

Hello all a person in Discord ask for blender 2.49b for bookworm64 and i made it a pet with all it needs

and i put it in my server since its a bit big download it and backup if you guys want it
http://patinsemlinhaslalom.altervista.o ... bookworm64

blender_2.49b-ubuntu0904_amd64
libilmbase6_1.0.1-6ubuntu1_amd64
libopenexr6_1.6.1-8_amd64
libpng12-0_1.2.54-1ubuntu1.1+1~ppa0~impish0_amd64

python2.5_2.5.5-11_amd64
python2.5-minimal_2.5-5+etch2_amd64

Thanks for the pet of Blender.

But I wonder why they did not use apt package manager to get blender 3.4.1 installed?

It seems to download and install all that is needed.

Hi @bigpup how are you hope all good
This person wanna have this one not the last version that's why

P.S viewtopic.php?t=450 recommend update this small app "dir2sfs yad" since current version i can't see what is happen

Hi,

there is a little typo at
viewtopic.php?p=89020#p89020
https://rockedge.org/kernels/data/ISO/B ... ecksum.txt
the SHA says BookwormPup64_10.0.6.iso

Hm,

any idea how to solve this problem?

I would try a fresh new download of the Vivaldi deb package.

That error seems to indicate a needed liberation font not found.
But the liberation fonts are in BookwormPup64 10.0.7

Anyway, I just went to the Vivaldi web site -Download and downloaded the same deb package.

It installed runs for me from the menu entry.

I did need to edit the vivaldi-stable.desktop file in usr/share/applications
change the exec line to this:

Exec=run-as-spot /usr/bin/vivaldi-stable %U

Go to Synaptic and click Reload, then you'll be able to install Vivaldi through the .deb package. If you don't do this first, apt can't install missing dependencies for you.

Thank you very much @dimkr , @bigpup !

Yes, that did it.

I had 'vivaldi-stable --no-sandbox %U' in mind, but running as user spot is saver.

Hi,

running on IPv6 will butcher the front part of the IPv6 address being shown on the desktop 'System' info. I have taken out the rest of the number which shows up well.

Regards, Feodor

Edit: I should have looked at the other pages 1..29 too. The problem was already reported on page 29. 'Conky' issue.
Thanks to @Fossil the problem was easy to fix. I changed the following lines in '~/conkyrc' to move the external IP to the next line.

maximum_width 270
#${color2}NET: EXT: ${alignr}  ${execi 3600 wget -O - -q icanhazip.com} ${if_up eth0}
${color2}NET: EXT:
${color2}${alignr} ${execi 3600 wget -O - -q icanhazip.com} ${if_up eth0}

Greetings, @bigpup

I used the live-CD on my old BIOS PC (2010) and BookwormPup64 10.0.7 created a usbflash drive with Grub4DOS to boot of it.
I do have a save icon on the screen and it asks at shut down if I want to save or not.
The displayed pupmode is 13. Looking good on my side.
Is your problem UEFI related ?

Feodor

Ref: Installing BookwormPup64 to a USB flash media.
@dimkr, @BarryK

Yesterday I thought about a better way to get the bookworm ISO image onto my boot able USB stick.
I found one, a quirky one.

a) download BarryK's updated Kirkstone 5.8.4 image and write it to a USB stick (not encrypted, but with root password) viewtopic.php?p=128854#p128854
b) boot easyOS Kirkstone and download the bookworm ISO image viewtopic.php?p=89020#p89020
https://rockedge.org/kernels/data/ISO/Bookworm_Pup64/
c) create a bookworm folder within the easyOS file system
d) click on the downloaded bookworm ISO image to mount it
e) copy all the needed bookworm files to the bookworm folder
f) mount partition 1 (boot partition) and modify limine.cfg, save and reboot

Why to do it this way?
Well, you are using limine version 7.12.0., this will give you the option to boot old and new
hardware at the same time - same USB stick.
Who sparked this idea? @ripwardog viewtopic.php?p=127500#p127500

The reason for staying 'not encrypted' is, that I do link installed applications from easyOS to be accessible at the Bookworm64pup desktop. Those links become active as soon as I boot up Bookworm.

You have been told before..........
https://sourceforge.net/projects/pb-gh- ... t/download

PLEASE NOTE:
This is NOT the official release of BookwormPup64...

It is a periodic Github build to prove that the Github "recipe" is working - as such it may have some later components compared to the official release.

It may be larger than the official build due to an earlier version of zstd being used in the Github build environment.

The official release is available via:
https://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/p ... mPup64.htm
