I have zero reason to have any Windows installed in any of my computers. I never needed/utilized MS Office nor Photoshop more than 1% of its power. I don't use AutoCad nor QuickBooks. I only need Firefox, ProtonVPN, file managers, and some notepads. Even my one and only, Quake III Arena, runs native...

To encrypt files in the command terminal: aescrypt -e file1 file2 file3 To decrypt files in the command terminal: aescrypt -d file1.aes file2.aes file3.eas Be careful if you use the -o option, it will always overwrite the file specifed by -o, without warning. I don't think the gui does much, just p...

We just don't pull the ethernet cable when booting Windows 10, but when installing it as well! If our computers are online when fresh installing Windows 10, we can't complete the final stage until we enter our email, phone#, Skype, or any other account that we have. Microsoft servers try to use &quo...

If you still have Windows 10 running in one of your computers, try to find out how many "24/7 always-on online surveillance cameras" in there by checking with this French guy's generic utility called "Windows Spy Blocker". Here are the shortest steps to get it: 1) Open your Windo...

I've decided to go the dual route. Windows for business, Puppy otherwise. In my current circumstances it will mean that I use Windows more than Puppy as 'll basically be using Windows during te day.. Agreed. Windows is strictly for "business apps" (not for "business"). We use WI...

I'm finalizing my divorce with Windows 10 actually after nearly 30 years of marriage (when she went by the name of Windows 3.1 back then).

sonny

I have used this software under Windows OS before and now just trying it out under Puppy Linux: https://www.aescrypt.com/download/ Instead of explaining how here is the video showing it...pretty straight forward: https://files.catbox.moe/zi6j1x.mp4 The basic of it all is that AESCrypt creates a new...

sonny

Okay. That surprises me. I've done it on older versions of Puppy. TBH, I answered because I know a lot about Chrome even though I don't know a lot about the latest Puppies. Someone will be by to tell you have to integrate the Google Chrome repository. This is the clue from google but dunno how to &...

sonny

You don't have to uninstall the old version. Just install the new version on top of it. The other choice is to hook your Puppy Program Manager (PPM) up to the Google Repo and upgrade it exactly like any other package in the Fossa repo. Someone else will be by to explain how that's done. Chrome brow...

sonny

Please tell us the exact version of puppy you are using. If you installed it from the .deb, you can either hook your Puppy up to the Google Repository (very hard in older versions of puppy, probably easier now but someone else will have to tell you how) or you can just redownload the .deb file and ...

Hello,
After installing Chrome browser from its website (64-bit.deb), how do I update it in the future? Firefox variants do the update automatically but Chromes.
Very much appreciated.

sonny

Restoring the "/usr/bin/xdg-open" with /initrd/pup_ro2/usr/local/bin/xdg-open FIXED the issue.
Right on target, dimkr!

Look in these places for anything saying Geany and delete it if found. /root/startup/ /root/Startup/autostart/ Maybe in here is geany.desktop file. Was anything found in these locations? It happened right after I installed GIMP from Package Manager though I did not save the session (I did test it 2...

sonny

I can only offer a couple of pointers. Have a look in /root/.config/autostart The files being displayed are probably the ones in there, but maybe something has been added or corrupted so that geany opens them as text rather than them just launching the programs that they are supposed to launch. Som...

sonny

Hello,

For the first time ever, when I boot FossaPup64, Geany greets me by opening these files:
1. at-spi-dbus-bus.desktop
2. xorg-mousekeys.desktop
3. retrovol, netmon, etc

What caused that and how do I stop Geany from autostarting and autoopening those documents at startup?

Very much appreciated!

Then do the write in thing.

Just what the doctor ordered!

sonny

This may depend on the version of Puppy you are using. This program has been improved over the years. If Adobe Acrobat Reader made a workable menu entry. That usually gets it into the selection drop down list. Run fixmenus, in a terminal, may be needed. If not there, you can write it into the selec...

Hello,
I just installed Adobe Acrobat Reader.
How do I add it to the list of "Default Applications Chooser"?
Very much appreciated!

sonny

Hello,
What is the script/command that executes an .sh file to run or open inside the Terminal window?
Very much appreciated!

sonny

I do not have a clear idea of what you want. This will open a RoxFiler window showing the files in /root/my-pictures: rox /root/my-pictures This will open all the dirs in the Bookmarks.xml file: rox $( grep 'bookmark title' /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/Bookmarks.xml | cut -d '>' -f 2...

sonny

Hello, What command do I have to add to the script to open ROX-Filer's certain bookmarks? Very much appreciated. What do you mean exactly? Open all bookmarks of e.g. directories/programs/files at once? Open a specific entry from bookmarks? Open the bookmarks menu of a Rox filer window? Yes, open a ...

Hello,
How do I create a submenu in Puppy's start menu?
i.e. on "Fun" menu, I'd like to categorize "Role Playing", "Shooting", "Strategy", then place the items accordingly.
Cheers

sonny

Thank you much!
Can I have the kernel_headers as well please?
Cheers

sonny

@sonny - Years ago, most kernels came with firmware embedded (were much larger). Fdrv is a way to more easily add new firmware & change it alone rather than the kernel too. I got you to check via dmesg to see if all your needed firmware was loaded. It is. I've since disovered that Surface needs...

sonny

@sonny Glad my kernels helped. I've now attached links to sources & headers in first post. Keyboard issues are often a pinctrl setting. What is your surface model number? Would you please run the following in a terminal & post results: dmesg | grep irmware Thank you again for prompt reply. ...

Well ........
Luckily for you ...........
a 64-bit build is at:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/lxpup/ ... /interims/
no firmware - needs fdrv

Hello PeeBee,
Thank you for these two files.
Do you also have the kernel sources and headers as well?
Very much appreciated!

sonny

Hello Mr. ozsouth, I've been testing extensively some newer kernels and their modules on my very "difficult" Surface Laptop running fossapup64. Here's the result so far ... 1. The laptop's keyboard never works. So I use a USB keyboard. 2. With stock fdrv, 5.4.53, 5.7.9, 5.10.26, 5.11.16 ke...

sonny

Very much appreciated, Mr. Grey. I'll give it a try tonight!
