Re: Anyone using jammypup64ce-10.0?

And those who may want to understand more on the issue- I opened an issue in GitHub which explained that using PPM to install packages destroys your /bin many a times! dimkr , took action on this and explained that PPM has now become no good for installing packages with deep dependencies-most of the ...

Re: Anyone using jammypup64ce-10.0?

One problem I'm having with my local WoofCE build of Jammy64 is Packages-puppy-common64-official. PPM shows it greyed out when I try to "Choose repositories" and will not access it. Have tried a few mods of DISTRO_PET_REPOS but so far no luck. :? Use apt! apt is present in jammy64, and that is why ...

Re: Anyone using jammypup64ce-10.0?

Well, how did I even miss this conversation :o? Jammy64 has become my daily driver!

There is a lot more coming next in this release - this is just a development version :thumbup2:!

Re: Puppy documentation needs updated or replaced

Anything that needs to be in sync with woof-CE (documentation, translations) but is maintained outside of woof-CE, will rot quickly as contributors come and go. I think it would be best to make documentation and translations an integral part of woof-CE instead of using manually-built .pet packages ...

Re: Puppy documentation needs updated or replaced

You will also see in the MoManager window, a button to generate a "langpack" PET package. If you would like to translate Puppy for a particular language, this button is very nice. It will gather up all the translations you have created/modified for your language and will put them into a PET package ...

Pity there isn't a 32-bit version. Which version of Firefox is the latest Waterfox based on?

Well, I found its source code in this GitHub repo, in case you want to build it (don't know if building it will work on 32-bit platforms).

I am afraid, for the second question, I have no answer.

Re: What Browser are u using and why ?

I use Waterfox (the link takes your to its website), in both the puppies I use - Fossa64 and Jammy64. The basic reason behind using it arose when I was already using Palemoon and I needed support to run websites like GitHub, which did not render correctly on Palemoon. I first tried running those ...

Re: Make the taskbar disappear-appear

Don't know about those pups particularly, but on new pups it would be Menu > Desktop > Desktop Settings > Taskbar. I think a visibility option must be present there in the placement tab (or some other tab, I also don't particularly remember. But I think the option was in the first 2 tabs)
