hi memo,

welcome to the forums!

that's probably caused by a .desktop file left over from running the rambox appimage.
Have a look in ...
/root/.config/autostart
/etc/xdg/autostart

and delete anything rambox related you find in there

i've emailed the creators to ask them to put a timer on it so that you have to guess quickly.
there could be high scores then

This might be a good skill to have in the future ;) https://www.whichfaceisreal.com/index.php Mmmm... I played fast and almost without thinking. I took 10 attempts as a basis. 6 times I DIDN'T GUESS, only 4 times I guessed. Shame! :oops: :lol: i forgot to say that if you guess wrong you'll be dead ...

@666philb Even when dragging and dropping or simply highlighting a group of local files to move them or copy them to another directory it acts the same way. It also (drops out) when highlighting text in most applications for copy and paste in a single window. Cropping images is getting unbearable ...

hi @peppyy

it's usually sync issues if it's happening when dragging from a mounted camera/phone. mtp isn't the best and may work better if you let it settle for a bit

some more interesting numbers. these are uncompressed sizes..... 32bit pups 2004 - puppy 0.4 ----- 49mb 2005 - puppy 1.0 ------138mb 2008 - puppy 4.3.1 -- 288mb 2012 - puppy 5.2.8 -- 359mb 2013 - puppy 5.7.1 -- 516mb 2014 - puppy 6.0 ----- 729mb 2016 - puppy 6.3.2 -- 794mb 2019 - puppy 8.0 ...

what does Fossapup do that Tahr doesn't? hi stevie pup , You can't remove browsers from the equation as so much is online nowadays and tahrpup will struggle running a modern browser. Think Netflix, office 365, various streaming platforms including TV services (BBC etc). Whilst you (or i) might not ...

for anyone interested this is my script in /root/Startup that writes the config file for conky to read. ( JakeSFR s new version that doesn't use wittr.in not implemented yet) #!/bin/sh sleep 60 incr=4; xmin=127761; xmax=127769; printf "%b" \\U$(printf '%x\n' $(echo $(( ((($(printf "%d\n" "'$(curl ...

the xenialpups were built nearly exactly the same using the same recipe and there's just a 6mb difference between the 32bit and 64bit.

666philb

thanks @JakeSFR for this magical voodoo scripting

that bash script is also very clever so no need to use wttr.in now

hi ozsouth , old firmware doesn't always work on newer kernels and the freezing is probably outdated graphic card firmware nvidia/amd/intel (nvidia is particularly fussy) for instance 5.15 won't boot on this desktop (nvidia card) with fossa firmware but 5.4 does. just updating the graphics firmware ...

Not sure if I was clear, but SAMBA is broken, including its server feature.

The mount command for access of remote smb resources have been tested and do work, though.

hi @Clarity did you try this samba from above? ^^^ http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/te ... _jammy.pet

builds will break as ubuntu are updating packages such as python3.9 to 3.10 and libicu67 > 70 Thanks. I'm still going to use your version. In this case, I was checking the operation of woof-ce :) This libicu has already managed to spoil my nerves and blood :D I couldn't do scrolling with the mouse ...

I have a script that shows the moon phase on conky. It runs at startup and prints the result as a font from 'font Symbola' (included in fossa) to a config file, this is then read by conky. curl wttr.in/London?format=%m > /root/.config/moonphasec it all works well but i find the font the wrong way ...

Yes Pkg-cli updates the local repos every time at system start. I think it does in Bionic64 as well. Easy enough to disable as described in the posts above. Another note, I have been running iftop that I installed and let run for a while on an idling Fossapup with nothing extra running, and for ...

Is this a misunderstanding on my part?

Nope.

I didn't know pkg does that.

the script could do with being more sophisticated like waiting until you've connected and not running everytime you start x.

what about making vivaldi the standard browser? i used it for the last 3 pups its wery good imho - runs smooth and fast (much faster than palemoon - i dont care much about it sorry) and i rather like the layout. just a thought :-) kindly Gnimmelf hi Gnimmelf , every one has their favourite browser ...

i decided to bite the bullet last summer and move my email from gmail to disroot and it wasn't as difficult as i thought it would be.
i had it all done in an afternoon.

what you'll find now (as is happening in my builds) is builds will break as ubuntu are updating packages such as python3.9 to 3.10 and libicu67 > 70 The worst change is that Firefox becomes a dummy package that installs the Firefox snap. I got apt to work just fine in a Puppy built using jammy ...

good work Grey :thumbup2: , running nicely in qemu. what you'll find now (as is happening in my builds) is builds will break as ubuntu are updating packages such as python3.9 to 3.10 and libicu67 > 70 the builds will break until they freeze development in late march early april. https://discourse ...
