If anyone doesn't know, this is what I'm talking about. (I'm not in Puppy Linux right now, but that doesn't matter). See how there are additional packages, suggested packages, and recommended packages, then a list of NEW packages to be installed? What I'm suggesting, and there may be a better way. I...

apt purge <packagename> vs apt remove <packagename> will purge config files associated with the package (not just the package itself) But there are other issues with apt trying to install very anti-Puppy software, which is seemingly unrelated to the package you want, and I don't have a good solutio...

The bottom line is user1234 has given instruction at the beginning of the thread - https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=71985#p71985 user1234 also pointed to w3schools git tutorial https://www.w3schools.com/git/default.asp IIRC, w3schools was one I considered before doing Odin Project, and I...

And GitHub itself has good tutorials, like https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/start-your-journey/hello-world. Allright, now we're cooking with peanut oil!! THAT is a good link, and will help me and others. I still will point out that in order for that link to be most helpful to someone they sho...

I could view the website (looks great btw!), but tried the contact tool and got an error.

I wasn't sure if this was a good source for Puppy, but I d.m.'d dimkr and he said, "sure, why not?". So, this Odin Project Foundations course https://www.theodinproject.com/paths/foundations/courses/foundations is free, newb-friendly, kept current, and will get you to having git properly i...

With this, any device, computer, tablet or phone on the LAN can access the video library from anywhere in the house. Networking is on the bucket-list, but I don't know if I'll get to it before, well, you know.... I run out of time. I still barely know what I'm doing with Linux and I've been learnin...

This site looks a bit sketchy, but ASUS Chromebox CN60 with the "big" processor for $25, free shipping if you buy two of them! This is gonna get out of hand.

/mnt/home is not in the save or in the normal file directory as far as it's contents being loaded into ram or saved. Oh, yah.... I apologize to dancytron what he or she said went right over my head. So, yah, for my little project with the chromebox which will likely be only one OS, putting appimage...

wizard I had to test it to know for sure! hahaha. I'll bet you can guess how I did it.... Yup, I cloned my BookwormPup, and deleted the folder I was booted from to see what happened. You're spot on, it went for a bit, but Firefox didn't want to launch and apps started disappearing. 100% confirmed, ...

trawglodyte

In Puppy like operating systems, the way people usually set that up is to create a folder "videos" on /mnt/home or the Dog equivalent, set the permissions to give spot the needed access if you want to be able to download to it from your browser, and symlink it to /root/ or whereever which...

Nope, not going to help you, take a look at this table: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=10453 Appimages are portbale apps and are not loaded at startup (unless you want) and are not included in the save file/folder. That link says they aren't loaded into RAM on startup but that they AR...

I've been thinking about the reality of 2G of RAM, and have an idea to address it that is a bit counter-intuitive. 1. Split the already small 16G SSD into two partitions. One for frugal install and one for appimages (or perhaps other standalone apps). Then fstab a folder (maybe on the desktop named ...

I did get a full-upgrade and libreoffice installed with apt, which is what I thought I wanted, and I did it with packages from apt rather than the devx.sfs. First part went pretty good, I avoided any anti-puppy packages such as gvfs passwd gnome-keyring and so forth.... (lines beginning with # are t...

It seems like the package "base-files" is the main one giving me trouble at this point. rmdir: failed to remove '/var/run': Directory not empty dpkg: error processing package base-files (--configure): installed base-files package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit stat...

wmpoweroff doesn't work, I think because jwm is not the window manager now, enlightenment is. IDK if a better fix is necessary or not. Like, if it's just going to be people doing this experimentally for fun, then they can use logout, they can reboot/poweroff from terminal, they can follow my instruc...

I was installing another Puppy, so I made this video showing how quick and easy a manual frugal install can be.

Here is one solution to the reboot/shutdown gliche. #cd /root/my-applications/bin #nano reboot.sh (make this simple script and ctl-s to save and ctl-x to exit back to teminal) https://i.ibb.co/c8MF13n/Screenshot-7.png #nano poweroff.sh https://i.ibb.co/9qmP3Sw/Screenshot-6.png #chmod a+x reboot.sh p...

I would like to have that .iso !

no sound. Here are sound devices: Screenshot.jpg . Did you wind up getting this solved? I have a similar thing with my NVIDIA sound options (which I don't ever use on this machine). This may not solve your problem, but it will make it easier to pinpoint. You can blacklist snd_hda_intel module and m...

you can upgrade both the ram and ssd. I'd definitely upgrade the ram. Yah, I just saw a picture of it with the bottom cover off. Looks super easy and affordable to upgrade RAM and SSD. 8G RAM - $15, 128G SSD - $16. You have to open it to remove a screw to hack the BIOS anyway, so worth considering....

I should have sought advice and done more homework before pulling the trigger, but I bought an ASUS CN60 Chromebox on Ebay. Ebay is loaded with them and similar Chromebox's @$20-$30. The base spec is Intel® Celeron® Processor 2955U (2-core 15W), 2G DDR3, 16G SSD, 4-USB 3.0, HDMI & Display Port, ...

I tried the command lsblk but it said command not found.

blkid is the command to find UUID. I don't know if it will work at that prompt if lsblk doesn't. Can you still boot your fossapup64 USB plugged into it? open a terminal in that and enter blkid.

I made a 1/2 hour desktop video. You can see I don't know what I'm doing and need to read about Moksha here --> https://www.bodhilinux.com/moksha-desktop/ But you can also see what Moksha looks like on BookwormPup64 before doing a lot of tweaking. I gotta admit I thought there would be lots of issue...

trawglodyte

You don't need packages "terminology" or "pcmanfm" which I showed installing in the O.P. I got them out of curiosity and also some concern that BookwormPup's terminal and file manager wouldn't play nice with the Moksha desktop. BookwormPup64's Urxvt and LXTerminal are both workin...

One quirk I noticed is Shutdown or Reboot give a small popup on the screen but doesn't shutdown or reboot. You have to choose LogOut instead and then type reboot or poweroff at command prompt.

I put a Moksha Desktop on BookwormPup64_10.0.4, https://i.ibb.co/BLKQ11T/Screenshot.png I see a lot of the apps wound up all piled up in Menu>Applications>Other .

Limine didn't work on my UEFI-only machine, which is too bad because it did find the OS's I had installed, except for KLV-Airedale. Being as there is 6 or 7 different settings in my BIOS related to secure boot I don't know if it's worth saying whether it's "enabled" or "disabled"...

I got to (had to) re-install Windows 10 and Windows 11 again, so here's the skinny as of 2/5/2024. Rufus 4.4 offers some nice options for creating installation media from the official .iso's (which are free to download).
