Well, now that you know which module is needed, you can go to the Boot Manager and select the Modules tab, then select 'sg' as one of the modules to be loaded.

Phoenix

Debs do and can be installed. But the result is not always perfect since its meant for the parent distribution, Ubuntu which is wholly different from ubuntu based puppies. As well, you never stated the label of the icon, when you inserted the disc into the player that was connected via USB. Also, do...

You can place this script into /etc/init.d and then enable it through Boot Manager, or make it executable via chmod +x

For that you'd need a wrapper script to do that. Or another utility. There's stuff on how to do this over at the Arch Linux wiki.

So I wanna use unsquashfs in order to take away files permanently from the sfs files. From what I understan, if one puts the unsquahed file in the same folder as the file one does the unsquashing to, then there is an issue that all files are doubled, duplicated which results in a larger file, so I ...

First, unmount your ext3 partition. Then fsck/e2fsck, your choice. Then you resize via GParted. If you still can't resize it, just create the swapfile on the partition instead and use that.

Phoenix

rockedge Just curious but have you tried using KeyTool and inserting your own set of keys? (Or using the OEM tools to add in keys?) In order to secure boot to be active a key merely needs to be present in the primary key slot. Although please don't simply toss one in and forget about it, otherwise ...

The browser should be writing inside /home/spot and not /root since the user home is there. Now if you absolutely don't want any cache to be written set the browser.offline.cache.enable property to false. If you don't want memory cache set the property browser.memory.cache.enable to false. As well t...

Zoom can do just fine with these budget CPUs. Just not official support because 'super sauce' is needed to make it run. Just like with Windows 11 upping their standards A LOT. (I use a n3350) Swap files/partitions are meant as a temporary substitute for RAM. If you're seeing frequent usage or thrash...

hello forum I share the new version of pcmanfm 1.3.2 for fossapup 64 bits only WARNING!!: this version has libc6-2.33 integrated since it is needed for it to work and cant be uninstalled, libraries older than 2.33 will not be able to run this file manager It also has integrated DDI (Desktop Drive I...

This discussion could not have surfaced at a better time to bring awareness from the multiplicity of 'ideas' we ALL have collectively: some valid concerns and some not at all valid. BUT, HERE IS SOMETHING PRESENTED HUMOROUSLY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqn3gR1WTcA] on the topic raised on this ...

You need to use 'apulse'. Find the firefox desktop file and edit it so its apulse firefox Or if you changed the default browser icon, edit the file to say apulse firefox (There may be an $@ which you should keep.) A side note: Updating packages through PPM can be a bit awkward, resulting in PPM sayi...

When compiling the kernel. Doesn't the nvme need to be configured enabled, when doing the config setup of the kernel? It may be enabled by default. Usually you can find this in documentation or when you look through the options when allowing Kconfig to select defaults. But there are some catches, p...

Hi. I'm new to Linux. I searched various forums including this one, but couldn't find a clear answer to my question. Recently, I made a full install of Puppy Linux 8.0, 64 bit, on an old laptop specs: core i3 330M (Intel graphics GPU), 6GB RAM, HDD primary aim was to be able to watch youtube videos...

There are technically other routes to getting it into a desktop but all of this would be manual and extremely tedious. And maybe making mistakes. Also remove the pmedia and pdrv flag. It will make it look for something connected to a SATA port that is an 'HDD' and pdrv may also be intefering. Additi...

Phoenix

bioincpup64 may not have the support built in, or if it does it is missing the firmware. There is an fdrv avaliable for it.

Phoenix

You do have AMD CPU right? As well it looks for this _CPC entry, so if it doesn't exist it will fallback to the one you did not want. It may also be that acpi-cpufreq starts up faster than amd-pstate meaning you need to add this:

Code: Select all

initcall_blacklist=acpi_cpufreq_init

Phoenix

Once you find the UUID of the partition holding the puppy files, change that hexademical string to that of the partition's UUID. At /grub.cfg of the puppy partition. As well to clarify what I meant, although you probably no longer need to do this anymore once you edit the grub.cfg, this is what I me...

I'm not certain whether the favicon changed because of this, BUT its very very hard to see in firefox dark theme. (What is a favicon? It's that little icon beside the tab that you have open, such as Google's page being that of a 'G')

It probably means where GRUB2 is installed, which should be the Linux partition, rather than the fat32 partition. Also could you try removing any flags that is ``psomething=`` besides ``pfix=`` and flags with no ``p`` at the beginning, and attempt booting (without a USB of course)? It may be that t...

courtage : The probable reason as to why it won't fstrim /mnt/sda1 is that you didn't mount it there, and therefore that directory is part of your savefile/folder. Directories do take up data in order to exist. It will not allow trimming or allow that to occur, because the device used to mount the ...

Phoenix

Using pmap may help identify it. Just simply provide the PID, which you can easily obtain through htop.

Phoenix

Could be worth setting a cron job to remove the file, but that sounds like taping it over.

Phoenix

I would very much suggest not dropping in stuff from other puppies. This is an even worse idea because precise is from Ubuntu and not Arch.
Try installing the package mentioned.

See Grub2Config post here: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=3360&hilit=grub2config Select UEFI installation method. Make sure you point it to the FAT32 partition that is marked with esp flag. You can find this in GParted. Then once the keys are placed there, replace the mentioned fil...

May be worth trying gtk3 from the Arch repositories instead?

Phoenix

Freenode has stepped up their security/encryption requirement from what I recall. Now you need to connect with SSL. Unless you use ports 8000-8002.
As well the certificates may require updating. But you should be looking to connecting with libera.chat instead as it has moved there.
