Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hi Ken, Even though those are the preferred ways to add an entry, I find direct editing is more expedient. wizard I like direct editing too, but in a more convenient way. Using 40_custom requires a sudo update-grub to fix changes, which is annoying if you are tweaking a boot code and getting it to ...

Hi all I am using kernel 6.1.14 and was wondering if it is possible to enable ZRam to be used instead of a Swap File? From a little digging I saw a solution but it uses systemd which is not available in FP64-95. I have seen this option only recently when testing @jrb Jammypup. For interest sake, us...

Is there a version that has no apps in it, lean, just the basic tools and drivers to make it work :?: zdrv I think is the file with the driver modules, I mean the other sfs which are bigger than the zdrv file. Not sure if you only want a very light puppy. If so I suggest you look at a very small De...

All good advice preceding.. Now back to the main theme. Which puppy for a laptop?? Personally I use varieties of LXSC. Slackware based puppy's have been fast, rock stable and the windows manager is flawless. However, slackware puppys do not have the range of software that debian/ubuntu puppy's have,...

I have never had that specific problem, but have had issues at odd times using pulseaudio with Fossapup64, which is close enough maybe. I restart pulse audio with "run-as-spot pulseaudio -D" but I'm not sure if it runs as spot in F96, so just try "pulseaudio -D" which starts the ...

@Clarity RE: audio distortion in the QEMU environment If I understand correctly, when released in August. the upcoming QEMU 8.1 will introduce a native Pipewire audio back-end. If interested, you could test at that time. Possibly, QEMU 8.1 may address the audio distortion you have experienced in th...

I'm glad you are happy with the current installations. In contrast, I struggled with legacy boot and installer programs for a couple of years until I learnt how to do GRUB2 menu scripts using the UUID for the drive/partition (especially with USB installations). Never looked back. For others reading ...

The easiest solution to use is VirtualBox. Install that and install windows. Works a treat. Busy now, will expand later if need be Yes VirtualBox is easiest for beginners, but it is hard to get running if you dont have all the so-called ducks lined up. eg loading devx, guest additions, setting user...

I ran Bookworm Pup64 ISO virtually in QEMU creating a qcow image to save any changes. Works VERY well except for the following: 1) SFS load GUI does not show as a complete window (only LHS) and does not appear to work when sfs selected. However, I could load the sfs in a terminal using the sfs_load ...

@Geek3579 You will need all the files to download to run the application. The second link is libcpuid-0.6.3-x86_64 https://www.mediafire.com/file/19vllcdju6dx8oq/libcpuid-0.6.3-x86_64.pet/file ..........also there is a desktop entry in the System menu Thanks, I should have guessed that ...seniors m...

In Fossapup64 I get this error when running cpu-x in the terminal:

cpu-x: error while loading shared libraries: libcpuid.so.16: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Not in PPM either.

Due to the (deliberately) small ISO size of most Puppy Linux OS and the fully configured size of WINE with mono and gecko, its not a feature that I can recall coming across. Why not either use the portable wine from @mikewalsh ? eg https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=67320 https://www.forum...

. DLNA server for anyone with a Smart TV or other DLNA renderer. This is an easy versatile implementation for Fossapup64. The best media for a DLNA repository is either a fat32 formatted USB2 stick or an external USB2 drive. In my case a 32GB SanDisk nano stick has sufficed and is permanently plugg...

Hello, With Fossa 64, I cannot print PDF using qpdfwiew. May be the problem is in parameters ? It is not a printer problem because I can print PDF with bionic 32, but with Bionic 32, I use evince. So, with the PPM, in Fossa 64, I installed evince - common _3.36.10, evince_3.36.10 and gir1.2-evince-...

For a very long time I have been looking for a bible study AppImage that would work with fossapup64. I have finally found one: xulsword v4.0.7!! Here's the link: https://github.com/JohnAusti.../xulsword/releases/tag/v4.0.7 https://img.informer.com/p3/xulsword-v2.2-main-window-screenshot.png Thanks ...

I have tried both versions in Fossapup64 and when launched in a terminal , all I get is a flash of terminal and then its gone. Nothing else ???

have I missed something...run-as-spot, face the E-W meridian, clean my teeth???

Puppy Linux should run on this computer. But with such new hardware. It needs to be one of the newest versions of Puppy. The Puppy version needs to be using a 5 or 6 series Linux kernel. May have to get firmware and driver for the WIFI to add to the Puppy version. That is a constant issue with the ...

................ anyone want to test this? qemu-8.0.0-rc3-x86_64 - Approx 6mb https://www.mediafire.com/file/oeqmi8gznze6ch5/qemu-8.0.0-rc3-x86_64.pet/file No sound available and only support built for Linux x86-64 iso's It did not run under Fossapup64, nor provide any menu items. I also tried it u...

@Geek3579 That was it - sorry for the stupidity! :oops: Nobody is stupid in this forum. Its just where we are on the learning curve at a point in time. And for every person who asks a question on the forum, many others unseen get a bit of information they can use now or later. I get find stuff almo...

Check your source/output & configuration settings in pulseaudio settings, whatever it is called. If one of these is not set correctly, nothing will happen audio-wise. If you arent running pulseaudio, then select another output. Pulseaudio is very useful but you need to check the obvious. For ins...

Can't decide between two Puppies? Take them both. The F2StickPup tool was designed for multiple Puppy distributions. It puts two partitions on your USB stick. The first is a FAT32 boot and the second, larger, partition is f2fs for the distributions. There may not be a tool to add another Puppy to a...

re-notify Edit: after downloading via QEMU - Disable the "Picom" composite manager to display the elements correctly. picom composite manager in QEMU doesn't want to work correctly. The disable icon is located on the panel on the left.7 icon Also try another version(KLA-OT2basePLUS_CE-rc6...

Here is my QEMU script:

modprobe kvm-intel # start KVM

qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -m 4G -smp 4 -cdrom KLA-OT2basePLUS_CE-rc5.iso \
-cpu host -vga std -usb -device usb-tablet -soundhw ac97

An interesting question. Depends what you mean by "connect". To allow file transfer - there are ways to connect the two computers via SAMBA, or FILEZILLA-(XP) /FTPD -(puppy). Other ways also. You might also be able to use one of those special USB cables, but I've never tried it myself. To ...

I tried the OS in QEMU with Fossapup64 host and it seemed to be a bit sluggish, menu wise - QEMU is normally a good VM for speed. I also had issues with a few GUIs, including Pulseaudio Volume Control coming up as a blank background . Browsers did not seem to run, either.. Looks good otherwise with...

I'm in favor of leaving it as it is and not changing the ydrv in adrv :) Let's not twist the puppy's tail. :thumbup: otherwise he will go to the corners to spoil ;) I downloaded an LXQt ydrv for Fossapup64 and changed the name to adrv...etc, leaving all the other drive labels intact (this time !). ...

@rockedge Is ImageMagick properly installed? ... What I can't find are the program files, e.g. convert @MochiMoppel F96-CE does not have a full install of ImageMagick, only a few imagemagick libs which are dependencies of Inkscape. Thanks for the question. I have not tried IM in FP-96, but in Fossa...

Adding blank lines in GRUB2 menus I only have one UEFI GRUB2 PC, but I found I could insert blank spacing lines in my grub.cfg file on my bootable USB drive with this entry: menuentry ' '{ true } On this one UEFI GRUB2 PC, I keep all my Puppy iso files on my C:\ hard drive and my small bootable USB...
