I just put in blank lines in GRUB2 without any problems... But for readability I usually keep lines of code for one frugal OS together with comment lines as required to remind me of specific changes. # 03 DPUP_Buster64 menuentry " DPUP_Buster64_Mate" { search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 1c...

I have used an external USB sound card for years in different forms. The recipe below is what I used to use, These days I simply use a puppy with pulse audio which makes picking up the external source easy, or I install pupseaudio to fossapup64. But to stick with ALSA... There is a particular issue ...

I installed poormanscputemp (or similar) last night. Works well. Its a DPup.pet that seems to work in Fossa64 and FP96. Dont have the link handy - sorry!

Is it possible to install these Desktop environments in other ways, eg in the package manager ?? Yes I think it is possible by renaming the yfrv to adrv or in some cases bdrv and then inserting the desktop eniviroment as the ydrv. Some juggling might be needed to find the right combination when it ...

@Geek3579 :- ./dwebp image.webp -o image.jpg .....DOES seem to work for me. Yeah, I know; according to Google's notes it'll convert both PNG and JPG to WebP.....but only Webp -> PNG is mentioned. (Webp -> JPG still works, though.) At least, for me it does. I think where you're going wrong is trying...

Geek3579

There is a CLI binary pair (cwebp / dwebp) that I discovered that can convert images back and forth from .webp. Works under Fossapup64 with JPG images anyway. See https://developers.google.com/speed/webp pointing to https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/docs/precompiled I just picked the Linux64 ...

I ran the updated ISO as a frugal install and it worked well. Great job !

But I note that there is a ydrv in use. I was hoping that I could use the Fossapup9.5 ydrv with LXDE or LXQt.

:thumbup2: I also recommend EasyDD. Always works for the installation of an ISO and .img / raw disk image on a USB. I have had issues with Unetbootin back in past years and gave it the flick. I tried to run EasyDD once in another OS (MX-Linux) but it didnt run. So you have to run it from a Puppy OS .

Geek3579

Hi @shanper, If you install another linux OS, the odds are that the installer will wipe any and all partitions in the process, including any puppy os frugal installs. Not a good idea if you want to keep your current puppy accessible. Of course, you can save your savefolder and frugal files first, an...

Thanks wiak for that update. I was (and still am) specifically interested in trying out the Linux OSes that have been weedogged, or firstribbed, or whatever. There was a run to about 30 OS or variants and I thought there might be more in the pipeline. Maybe later in the year when I have more time I ...

While we are on this theme, I have lost the thread of the weedog project. Cant find any evidence of much action on the weedog forum. Is it because the devs are working on all the new puppy varieties listed above, and has/will weedog become a stranded project ?? I agree that the number of Puppy proje...

I have on several occasions copied boot (FAT32) and puppy *EXT4) partitions to other drives, both as a backup and re-furbishing to a larger drive.. BUT, one must start with a blank target drive (unformatted) and then add a partition table using GPARTED. Note, if you think you will need more than 4 ...

Thanks mike for the webbapp update. I have only been able to make it work in ChromeOS act-alike on a Raspberry Pi4, using the Chromium browser. And then it was a bit laggy, but very useful nevertheless. I was hoping to use the webapps to avoid the seemingly regular updates of zoom which require inst...

I am running Fossapup64 with Pulseaudio, which by the way works very well, apart from Brave Browser crashing it. I have tried the ZOOM web app a couple of times and while Pupseaudio seems to adjust the microphone/camera volume in the GUI, sound crashed after a fraction of a second of my talking. So ...

There are two other ways to transfer data between the VM and host The first given the host can run pure-ftpd. Once started I open gftp (or filezilla) in the VM which allows access to the host file structure and drives (if mounted). Its very quick to setup and all you need is the IP address of the ho...

Geek3579

I prefer an LXDE environment for my home office, so I renamed the ydrv from Fossapup64.95 and added it to the frugal installation. It works very well, with one exception. Both ROX and PCManFM open any hard drive partition to display blank window. This does not happen with ROX under F96 . Suggestions...

@Geek3579 I can record audio if I install pulse, but thought maybe someone might have found a way to do it on stock Fossapup64. Have never tried yt-dl, may give it a try. SimpleScreenRecorder is a better solution for me since I record from multiple sources. Thanks for response wizard I tried Simple...

I have done this with Bionicpup64 with little or no tweaking to ALSA. Not tried with Fossapup as I have pulseaudio installed so I can run other apps.

Why not use yt-dl and download the whole youtube ?

Clarity has a better script. One could run -enable-kvm ONCE in the terminal, but its better in the CLI as you cant forget to run it as easily. Also adding -vga cirrus/stdio/etc is a good idea. One thing I discovered is that using AQEMU (from PPM) as a GUI helps to find a working script quickly, esp...

With the continued support and contributions by the members of the Puppy Linux community F96_4-radky6-CE is in the rigorous testing phase and by all accounts is living up to and exceeding expectations. This brings us to the point where the production name of the distro will be pressed into service....

Just had a look at EasyOS 4.5.4 in QEMU. Looks good. Thanks ! And it runs very fast too. I was also looking to do the install on a virtual drive in order to extract the three frugal files rather than write to a USB. I ran/setup the OS and after installation I searched for the required files in the p...

As a result of experimenting with WDL, I unexpectedly installed pulseaudio in Fossapup :) It seems like six steps can be taken: 1. Install pulseaudio itself. I have compiled the latest 15.0. Pet: https://disk.yandex.ru/d/ManZLH_e2XPRIQ 2. Run the ldconfig command in terminal. 3. Install pavucontrol...

You could try sharpening the image using the unsharp mask tool available in some photoprocessing apps. A useful command in Imagemagick is "convert -unsharp 15x5+2+0.05 inputfile.jpg outputfile.jpg" without the quotes. This is my default setting for this command and gives acceptable results...

Geek3579

And on a different tack...

I have been using the ydrv for LXDE meant for Fossapup64 in a version of frugally installed F96 and it seems to work well. I presume that it is perfectly acceptable to use this as F96 is, as I see it, a Fossapup64 derivative.

Please confirm.

Geek3579

The advice in previous posts is good. I will just add that if its a very simple setup eg on a small USB, then MSDOS is fine if you are not expecting to need more than 4 partitions including the boot (FAT32) partition. But if you are using a larger drive where you could profitably have more than 4 pa...

Geek3579

Also see if setting/unsetting the EFI flag for the OS makes a difference - its tickbox is under Settings –> System. Check that the correct 32/64 bit OS is selected Check that the type of OS is selected as Ubuntu or maybe even debian might work. 256MB Ram is not going to cut it IMHO. 1GB is a safe be...

II dont run WINE from the PPM because of past issues, but always use a Portable WINE which works fine with Fossapup ( wine-portable-3.3_v.2.1b) and every other puppy os I have tried.

And I needed the 32bit-compatibilty-fossa64.sfs too found in quickpet fossa under the "Useful" menu.
