Most recently I have mainly used Firefox. When EasyOS made Chromium the default browser I decided that in EasyOS I would use Chromiium. About 2 weeks ago I installed Firefox, as Chromium was misbehaving for me lately. I would vote for Firefox as the default browser included with EasyOS. Thank you. ...

To test I expanded the initrd and changed the line of code as above. I created a dummy third release and sfs components for 5.5.3. I recompressed the initrd, checked that the depth was still 2. On reboot the additional 3rd release was still present. So, I still have an issue with deleting old versi...

. . . There is a problem with the line : for aSL in `realpath /mnt/${WKG_DEV}/${WKG_DIR}releases/easy-${ADEL}/*.sfs | tr '\n' ' '` In my test aSL=/mnt/sda2/easyos/releases/easy-5.5.0/*.sfs EDIT : for aSL in $(realpath /mnt/${WKG_DEV}/${WKG_DIR}releases/easy-${ADEL}/*.sfs | tr '\n' ' ') instead of f...

(Easy 5.5.5) In /usr/local/easy_version/easy-version-control the variable DEPTH_MAX that stores the choice of depth is not initialized at the launch of the program. It's the value of this variable that is written in /var/local/version-history-depth when Easy Version Control is closed. So if you ope...

Following on from this thread regarding freeing up USB space, https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=102952#p102952. In my case it's not about freeing space on a USB drive, but about using Easy Version Control to remove prior versions from my internal NVME drive. A couple of months ago I moved...

To install KDE: apt update apt install plasma-workspace echo false > /etc/desktop_app echo startplasma-x11 > /etc/windowmanager There are still things that would need fixing to use regularly, but mainly functional on a modern laptop with plenty of RAM. For some reason the window buttons are missing...

Bluetooth appears to be broken. Command:Power on has failed. This seemed to occur after I updated from 5.5.3. I just checked om my EasyOS 5.5.4, bluetooth working OK. I scanned and connected to earphones, with working sound. This was an install which was originally created with 5.5.1 and was update...

Hi @TerryH , If this bit of info does not help you it might help others who have trouble booting QuickPup64 23.01 RC3. In my case the ISO booted fine in a QEMU virtual machine. A frugal install booted fine in a 5 year old laptop. But I had issues booting with a relatively new (2023) laptop - an HP ...

It will work in list view, but can be a little fiddly. If you get the pointer between the files and it stays as an arrow (not a hand with pointy finger) then you can drag and select.

Thanks, I am using a laptop, which using a touchpad is probably making it more difficult.

In Windows as well as linuxes with double-mouse-click to execute (e.g. Lubuntu) to selecet multiple files you can left click on the first one to select it and then you click on the last file with SHIFT and all these files are selected. I was trying to do it in EasyOS, but I canno't find a way to do...

Do you think it will run any Puppy version and give good results?

It might be a bit of a strain...better make sure you add plenty of RAM, you'll probably need at least 32GB or maybe 64

I'm not a big fan of tiling Window Managers. I have been using KLA-OT2baseCE 2.9 since it came out, which is an excellent release. Reading the KLV_BSPWM thread, I thought it would be well worth giving this release a spin. I downloaded the FR build script from the KLV_BSPWM 1.4 thread you have posted...

TerryH

My experience is the complete opposite of your experience. On laptops with HDMI connections, sound defaults to HDMI as Card 1. Even if HDMI not used, the internal speakers are not default. Sound has to be directed to the internal speakers.

Running the unmodified desktop on large screen TVs is a challenge: The on-screen mouse is so tiny that it is hard to see. I have looked over the control panel and dont see a way to expand to use other larger on-screen mouse pointer. And a font change. Current font on a 3840x2180 resolution used by ...

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...

Governor maybe this will help. The tilde ( ~ ) character is an abbreviation which is used to indicate the users Home directory. In the example of being the user root, /root can be subsituted with ~. Where a non-root user is the user the tilde would substitute for '/home/username' . So, ~/Downloads ...

how can I achieve the same thing with the configuration file(s)? Govenor if you can mount your hard drive you can copy the save file or folder with all your configurations The file you are looking for is with all the main puppy files and is named something like fossapup64save-xx. Just copy that fil...

I did a new frugal install of this latest KLA-OT2baseCE-2.9. There is a minor issue, which was also occurring in 2.7, but it was easily overcome. The touchpad is disabled after booting. I changed the Touchpad Toggle script to not be executable, which rectified the issue. This is a brilliant release....

The KLA-OT2 2.7 with kernel 6.4.7 arch1-1 does contain vmd.ko , the path is /usr/lib/modules/6.4.7-arch1-1/kernel/drivers/pci/controller/vmd.ko I have a laptop(see signature below) with an nvme drive which this release boots on using grub2. I do experience an occasional boot problem, but generally i...

On my Samsung S20 it depends on orientation what is displayed. In landscape mode I get icon and text. In portrait mode I get some text and icons and the Links is shown as just the arrow icon. So the external links is shown in both orientations. greengeek I notice that you are also not showing the Do...

In BWP I get an update message box displayed, but it can be dismissed. I don't have any issue with it attempting to download.

I'm not in Puppy at present, maybe a setting change for auto update?

Great choice to include Flowblade as built-in in EasyOS 5.4.10. I haven't done a video project for some time, but used Flowblade a while ago for several projects, which was quite easy to learn, producing excellent results.

EasyOS 5.4.10 running very nicely. Thank you.

I was reading the recent review of EasyOS on the Itsfoss website yesterday. When having a read of some of the other articles, I saw an article on XeroLinux, which is an Arch based distribution, with the main DE being KDE Plasma.

I don't currently have a FossaPup installation, the following may work on FossaPup.

New manual frugal install of VanillaDPup 11.0.49. All went well, running smoothly. The latest documentation on Vanilla DPup 11 states that the vanilladup.sfs's aren't loaded to RAM. On boot, error messages are displayed that these sfs's failed loading to ram, this is confusing. Was this left in inte...
