This post is referring to observations running the Devuanpup Beta 4 XFCE version. On first boot following completing the first run set up. A message displayed that compositing is not activated. Windows were displayed without window buttons and widows could not be re-sized, or moved. I activated the ...

After being able to boot devuanpup with the kernel line parameter previously suggested by mistfire processor.max_cstate=5 in conjunction with nomodeset , I have tried again to boot quickpup. It still won't boot to desktop. Previously it failed on configuring hardware, now I get almost to it booting,...

I've been using Devuanpup xfce for 2 days now. There are some things that still need to be sorted out. I'll post about some issues tomorrow. This post is about how impressed I've been with using the included midori browser. Previous attempts to use midori ended quite quickly. In the 2 days so far, i...

Fatdog64 now booting properly. The issue I was seeing is that the boot messages were identifying that sda2, where the fatdog64 save folder was stored was being searched and couldn't be found, which was misleading. I changed the waitdev parameter from 2 to 5 and it was then found and used. I have an ...

There probably a better, more technical bit of advice to solve this, but can you just rename the savefile with the ext4 extension?

No, that would have been simple, but it doesn't work.

TerryH

Just did a manual frugal install of Fatdog64 s900 to a microsd card using grub2. The install went well and on shutdown I chose the option to create a save folder. The issue I am having is I am not able to boot and have the save folder loaded at boot. Watching the boot messages, the boot process is s...

Yeah, I know. I knew that cherrytree was small, so wanted to see all the extra packages to run as flatpak. So 2 applications, a total of just over 240 MiB require 3 GiB of extra packages to be able to run. Adding other flatpak applications will require increasingly less extra packages to be able to ...

Last week after installing EasyOS 5.4.5, I needed to install Zoom, so it was a good chance to try the flatpak installer. This is the first time I've tried flatpak The install went well and installed Zoom 5.15.2, so very current. All went well and zoom worked without issue. I did notice that lots of ...

apt update or the Synaptic equivalent will probably fix this. You haven't downloaded the package list, so dependencies cannot be installed automatically. Thanks, as advised apt update, or reloading using synaptic package manager is required. Zoom and some additional dependencies then installed succ...

Bookworm Pup64 RC I downloaded and installed the zoom_amd64.deb package from the Zoom web site. Hmm, I downloaded the debian zoom.deb from the zoom download last week and it wouldn't install, it had a missing dependency that couldn't be fulfilled. I didn't pursue it any further then. I'll try again...

A new manual frugal install of Vanilla DPup 11.0.41 to a flash drive. Running very nicely. Just a small issue, the bat.widget is not displaying icons in the tray, only an sfw icon. I checked in '/usr/share/icons/Adwaita/scalable/status' , the icons are present. Plugging or unplugging the laptop char...

What does Ctrl+X in Easy do? Delete a file? That would be cool, because that's how ROX-Filer used to work.

Just tested in EasyOS 5.4.1. Ctrl+X does delete.

This was the first opportunity to install this BookwormPup64. I did a manual install to an existing USB Flash drive. This is running on my Asus Ryzen 7 5800H laptop. Out of the box everything tested so far is working very well. Function keys for Volume/Mute, screen brightness and keyboard backlight ...

Just updated from Easy 5.2.2 to Easy 5.3 using the update, I'm not using encryption, so all went well for the update. The only issue relates to the cut down version of JWMDesk, which is currently in EasyOS doesn't allow to manage a second launcher tray (tray2) which is hidable, either standard or hy...

I installed Vanilla DPup 11.0.19 yesterday as a manual frugal install to an existing USB flash drive with other installations. As a new beta release, it is an excellent release. Everything tried so far looks nice and clean and runsnice and slick on my Asus laptop with AMD Ryzen 5800H / 16 GB RAM. As...

I've watched this thread from the start. Personal choice. To me Pupmode 13, gives the greatest flexibility when shutting down to be able to save or not save as I want. On SSDs, it also reduces writes.

TerryH

I would leave it as ataflsh . Personally I believe it gives you more options to save or not save. The updates reside in ram until you,click the Save icon, which saves any updates made to that point in the session. With pupmode 13 you can choose the save period or to not save at all. The shutdown dia...

TerryH

Now that you actually have a save, if you only have a single save file / folder, the boot process will automatically boot using it. You won't have to do the 0,1,2 part. So maybe delete the dummy place holder saves and the second save you have.

FossaPup64 9.0.5. I have a new 5TB HDD. I've deleted all the partitions that were there. In View > Device Information ― it says that it's gpt; and when I click Device > Create Partition Table ― the default is on gpt. I want to format it to ext4. And then - what kind of a partition to create? Primar...

.... The interesting thing is that people who hate Trump are irrational and can't actually give any factual reasons for hating him. Trump supporters, on the other hand, can give plenty of factual reasons why they support him.

Surely, you jest!

If you are going to keep Windows 10.
First use Windows 10 defrag program and defrag partition C

DO NOT defrag the SSD, it is not required and can be harmful to it.

TerryH

But doesn't a drive need to be "mounted" in order to be read or written to? when I try to access an unmounted drive, I get a blank field in ROX where there would be a file listing if it were mounted. Yes it does need to be mounted. If you are using rox filer and click on for example /mnt/...

TerryH

@TerryH @geo_c Just a guess, but it seems like Puppy is designating all USB harddrives as locked, Or, perhaps it is all FAT drives. https://i.postimg.cc/VSz0HTyg/Screenshot.png From my understanding, using pmount the lock symbol appears if partitions in the drive are mounted, regardless of file sys...
