QEMU run as an Appimage in BookwormPup64 and others A requirement for me to use BookwormPup64 for a daily driver is the functionality of QEMU. If somebody on the Forum would be able to compile this that would be great, but in the meantime I looked for other options. (compiling did not work...I’m not...

Tried the compiled version on Fossapup64. Error message - needed GLIBC_2_34.

Not in PPM. No idea what to do next....

A fully functional LXDE/PCManFM SFS (with drives-on-desktop) might pry me off Fossapup. I run both BW64 10.0.3 and @ozsouths' Fossa64 - Less v1 currently but none of my 'users' are ROX/JWM ready yet. The LXDE/PCManFM combo is a much easier transition from (excuse me) windows-land for themgress. I h...

I then boot the ISO (in this case quickpup) as follows : modprobe kvm-intel # start KVM qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 4G -smp 4 -boot d -cdrom quickpup64_23.01-rc-3.iso -hda Quickpup64-180923.img \ -cpu host -vga std -usb -device usb-tablet -soundhw ac97 you do not have to use psave= to tell pu...

I often boot puppy ISOs in QEMU and create a savefolder at shutdown. Its just a shortcut to run the OS without building a frugal install. Should work the same way under a normal ISO boot. thanks for calling that out, I stand corrected. what is a good kernel line in the boot stanza for that usage? F...

Geek3579

@Zerg booting an iso will not save configuration changes or added programs. there are other ways of booting if you want to save. If you take a moment and describe your expectations of your install it will help others respond correctly Or do I need to connect a USB drive with "package_file.deb&...

I was booting the ISO using QEMU WITHOUT the EFI stanza ( -bios /usr/share/ovmf/OVMF.fd ). ... Anyhow, I just tried booting quickpup64_23.01-rc-3.iso WITH the EFI stanza but it would not boot. My older laptop has EFI, and a SSD, and it had a typical frugal install. No problems. The newer laptop als...

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 + AMD / Radeon.

In the last couple of days I have experimented with using XFCE with F96-CE-4. I downloaded XFCE from the Package Manager and was pleasantly surprised to see a desktop switcher icon in the menus. I changed from JWM to XFCE , saved the changes and it boots into XFCE every time. So far it has behaved i...

The only other thing I try sometimes is to add/extend the wait time in the GRUB2 code: nousbwait=10
I always have nousbwait=5 for all Puppy OS, BTW.

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.

Thanks for this Pulse Capture GUI.

I tried it yesterday with Fossapup64 which has Pulseaudio installed. Worked well. Saves mucking around with a bash script as its always there in the menus ready for use.

Thanks wiak , I did Google "install wine in Ubuntu", and I quickly found a method here for wine64: https://utho.com/docs/tutorial/how-to-install-wine-on-ubuntu-20-04/ I used that method and could run Faststone image editor as a test, which worked fine, but I had to use the CLI to launch it...

Has anybody successfully used WINE in this OS ?

I tried @mikewalsh's portable 5.11 with no useful results. Also tried a WINE appimage without success.

Can WINE be installed using sudo apt-get install ... ??

@Geek3579 It's not in the repo's, croc is here -> https://github.com/schollz/croc/releases/tag/v9.6.5

Thanks @rockedge . I will give that a try in MX-Linux. I know it works fine in Puppy Linux.

One can also use a LIVE version of GParted (not the installed version) to copy each partition in turn to a new device. I think one needs to make a partition table on the new device using Gparted. Its my method of choice. Seems the most easiest choice. But did I do it right in creating first the exa...

I have used a live clonezilla OS to make a backup image of a disk/usb. Its GUI is a bit basic or non-intuitive, but it works. Then write the image to a new usb with EasyDD.

And fortunately for me, I've only used Pupmode13 since I found out about it. I wonder how many Puppy users use PUPMODE 12 or 66 and not 13, and I wonder how many Puppy users don't boot from a flash drive. IMO PUPMODE 13 is the best feature of Puppy :) /snip I always run Pupmode 13 or Dog equivalent...

I'm sure others have better ideas, but just to open up the discussion: 1) If the old USB is still functional, the new computer's BIOS may be able to be adjusted to boot a Legacy OS, rather than the default UEFI. My computers/OSs are all set to UEFI for consistency, so I have never tried this. 2) You...

There are a good number of pups coming out these days, more Debian than Ubuntu, but as far the latest, polished, official Ubuntu up, I would say F96_CE-stable release4 seems to be the go to at the moment. It's a rebuilt fossapup, so it's got a lot more going under the hood than the original fossapu...

Geek3579

Let me second @bigpup's opinion on this. I used fossapup64_9.5 until F96_CE4 was finished. F96 comes with better network manger, pulse audio, and several other nice upgrades. It contains the latest of all the utilities that are present in the 64_9.5. F96 is worth the effort to make the cutover. I w...

Thanks for all this info @Frederico. Any encouragement to get Puppy users becoming familiar with QEMU is great, as its such a versatile program.

I think the -w writes a pattern, as does -n. leaving these out may make it non-destructive.
