Bull's eye. Knocking compton upside the head set Chromium free. Mr Walsh, thank you for kindly directing me to that thread. Thanks also to HerrBert, mikeslr, xenial, thinkpadfreak, and all the rest of the pupperazi who helped solve the mystery. Thanks again also to Peebee, for the Bionic64-friendly ...

An update on this. Peebee, thanks for the Alien Bob repackage. It worked beautifully for me on a bare pfix=ram Bionic. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work when I had the save folder loaded. Presumably it didn't like something else that I had installed. It opened the browser window, but any time ...

Hello Peebee. Thanks for packaging these programs. Regrettably versions 99 and 101 are failing for me on Bionic 64. After converting and installing on the fly I get the following errors: /opt/chromium-browser/chrome: /lib64/libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.30' not found (required by /opt/chromium-b...

Hi Stingwan, I've tried out a pile of non-PAE Linux distributions lately, looking for one that would work with an AMD K6 (the OS sees it as a fast i486). Without wanting to get into a big discussion about the rationale, I've found that modern Linux is close to abandoning really old hardware (somethi...

ahoppin

An update on progress with this experiment, mostly for anyone else keen to try. To review, I'm tinkering with a couple of veteran Super 7 boards with AMD K6-2 processors, one 300 MHz and one 500 MHz. The idea is to answer the question: Q: "Are these arthritic old guys are still useful with a mo...

Thanks, Rockedge, downloaded to check out. I'm surprised that you needed a non-PAE kernel for a 2002 T42. What processor does it have? Thinkwiki says that all but the slowest T42s had a Dothan Pentium M processor, which has PAE. The 1.5 GHz T42s had a Banias, which I've read will boot with a PAE ker...

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I wonder if the OP is having trouble with this Internet Archive download: https://archive.org/details/bionicpup3219.03k3.18.138nonpae The ISO from that link won't work for me either. Downloaded twice, burned twice, burns check out 100%, but the computer acts lik...

It's not a massive pain for going online if you don't use Google. Who needs them? I agree with 666PhilB, Disroot is a worthy Gmail replacement. It's doing well for me so far. It speaks POP3 and IMAP with no Oauth requirement. It's free, claims to be volunteer-run, gives you 2 gb of online file stora...

Good point, Rufwoof. I was a Unix SA in the 1980s, and back then, every kernel was specifically built for its hardware. If you upgraded the hardware, you at least had to link new drivers into the kernel. Today's Linux kernels packed with modprobed drivers are convenient, but they carry a price that'...

Steve said: "I once did a comparison of Bionic 32 and 64, booted up Bionic32, went to a website, and it was using approx 520Mb of RAM. Shut that down, booted Bionic64, went to exactly the same website and it was using nearer 900Mb of RAM." Steve, could that be at least partly because they ...

I'm a tad surprised to read recommendations to run old dogs on modern pig-iron. A few weeks ago I tried to boot 4.31 and 5.25 on a 2017-vintage board just added to my stable, but those dogs wouldn't hunt. IIRC the oldest pup that would bark for me was Trusty Tahr, but I might be remembering wrong. I...

ahoppin

Indeed! Congrats on your new HP speeder there. Sounds like fun! Still hanging in here with mostly early- to late-aughts hardware. I suppose it's heresy, but now that Moore's Law has been effectively repealed, the main reasons for new hardware seem to be a need for the utmost speed - IIRC you do vide...

Just checked out the Slimjet portable. You, Mr Walsh, should be wearing a cloak and carrying a wand, because you're surely a Puppy wizard. This browser works like the squirrels and chipmunks in my yard, piling up their winter stores. Well done! Now to add a few privacy tweaks, build a .pet with a pr...

ahoppin

These all downloaded successfully - a million thanks, Mike! I'll take them out for a wander tomorrow (maybe even yet tonight) and see how it goes. Cross your fingers....

ahoppin

Has anyone in this thread actually gotten *any* version of Slimjet-32 to work with Tahr-32? Have tried all 32-bit portable versions from slimjetbrowser.com, from 20 to 32. Zilch. They need GTK3, no problem; easy to install from PPM. Some also need --single-process command line flag in addition to --...

ahoppin

Mike, thanks! I'm trying to help out a friend. I set her up with Tahr 32 bit on a Thinkpad T400 probably about 4-5 years ago, and then she moved overseas, so I haven't been able to do anything with the computer lately. She's OK with installing software, but doesn't want to update to a more recent Pu...

ahoppin

This must be the definition of irony. If your browser is old, and that even seems to include the default Palemoon 28.4.0 in Bionic, mega.nz refuses to allow it to download a new one from the links in this thread. It gripes that - wait for it - "Your browser seems a bit outdated. Please update t...

ahoppin

Hi again Mike. I tried your OpenshotQT-portable64 with Openshot 2.4.3. Sorry to say that it acts exactly the same way that the other versions did. I redirected the output from LAUNCH to a file for easier review, and the line below looks like where the engine derails. SIGSEGV is a segmentation fault....

ahoppin

Thanks, Mike! I got your file from Google Drive. It looks as if you posted it just about the same time I posted my report on the other tests.

I have to run off for a while now, but I'll check this one out later tonight and report back. Fingers crossed. Thanks again!

ahoppin

Thanks to all so far. Here are test results on Openshot 2.6.1 appimage. Xenial 64 7.5: "/lib/libc.so.6: version 'GLIBC_2.25' not found." Fossa 64 9.5: Requested permission to make a "desktop file," wrote to the console a long list of notices about "Qt Webengine" not bei...

> All I can suggest is to download the portable Openshot and give it a try. You've got nothing to lose. > It's not the very newest - it's v2.4.3 Good suggestion, and thanks, but unfortunately I wasn't able to download your program. I actually haven't been able to download *any* of your files. :| I d...

ahoppin

Hi Mike! This seems like a good idea. What pup are you using for these? I tried the Openshot 2.6.1 appimage on Bionic 64, but it fell on its face. It flashed something very briefly on the screen (might have been the editor screen but hard to say as it went by VERY fast), dumped a stack trace, and th...

The page https://version2013.yolasite.com/page1.php works fine for me, but the links on it point to lilfile.com - and my browser (Seamonkey) says "Address Not Found. lilfile.com could not be found. Please check the name and try again." However, the first archive.org mirror you posted is wo...

Perfect, thank you!

Trying to run an old Win 32 program under Wine (version2013's Wine 5.14) in Bionic 64. The 32 bit compatibility SFS is loaded. Wine griped that it couldn't find libodbc.so, so I installed libodbc1_2.3.4 from PPM, and symlinked libodbc.so.2.0.0 to libodbc.so. Now Wine complains that libodbc.so is the...

ahoppin

Unfortunately the links to lilfile.com for version2013's PETs are not working for me. I get an "Address Not Found" error. Does anyone know of another mirror for these files?

ahoppin

Sorry, I thought it was pretty clear. Wiak got it straight away. I'm sure we're not the only people here who use a dictionary. The Ubuntu naming convention is to use an animal name preceded by an adjective, no? Until Tahr, Ubuntu based pups adopted the Ubuntu adjective for their names. So, our puppi...

ahoppin

I guess this is another confused pup like Tahrpup was, where instead of following the first-name pattern set by Lucid, Precise, Xenial, and Bionic, and being a loyal Trusty puppy, it was a cross-breeding between a tahr and a dog. Tahr was weird enough, crossing a tahr (goat) with a dog, but now we'r...

ahoppin

Thanks, but a longer search time didn't help here. Pnethood finds Samba shares, but it won't connect to them - it says no permission. It also finds Windows 2000 shares, but trying to connect to them freezes Pnethood. I have to kill the mount process to thaw it out. I've increased the Pnethood search...
