For the majority of the cases I do not like antivirus software, they are invasive and who knows what they send when they call back home. Kaspersky is apparently an efficient antivirus but, apart from the above, is made by that particular country known to have a debatable IT moral and practices. Anot...

social media is evil, avoid using them to get information find some reputable news providers that tends to give as much plain facts as possible, those that also avoid expressing opinions/sensationalism for examples you can follow a/some reputable and famous news provider of your country plus a/some...

Back in 2004 I started studying by myself Linux over books and used Suse, IT was my main passion, wanted to work in this field so took several courses and though to register at University. This did not happen for personal reason and I ended up studying and working in a different field, yet IT was an...

I cannot see that theme Try to delete /root/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini @mikewalsh I do not know :) but among all the puppys I have tried only vanilladpup comes with this problem on my PCs and laptops It's probably because it's the only one that sets a GTK+ 3 theme. GNOME developers don't want dis...

my opinion is that (which actually includes both of your main reflections) if a member decides to take a pause, for whatever reason(s) & whatever length, this person has, well, the right and reasons; at the same time it is nice & (hopefully) it triggers an honest response from other users wh...

Do you see the same problems if you change the GTK+ theme to Adwaita?

I cannot see that theme

Hi, With vanilladpup I experience an annoying horizontal scroll bar in several windows, which often covers some content of them and in the worst case scenario even prevents from selecting/clicking what is inside it easily. It needs some playing around the the mouse cursor as the bar appears momentar...

darksun

thank you dimkr for your answer. I do not like using Balena Etcher, so huge piece of software for a simple task. I tried bootflash and, despite it not launching GRUB in the usb stick it did boot vanilladpup straight away (but it did not pick up the save dir during the boot process, a feature that my...

darksun

has nobody had this issue too? like this other user here I am unable, despite been successful on booting a plethora of linux distributions, including several PUPPYs, to get a working usb_stick flashed vanilladpup*.iso , apart from using rufus on a windows machine. Anyone reproducing this issue and/o...

darksun

If you want to unplug the flash drive you're booting from you'll need to avoid any kind of persistency and copy to RAM. You can do this by adding pfix=ram . If you're saving changes the flash drive remains mounted. I flash the puppy's ISO to my usb stick then I boot it and frugally install (savedir...

darksun

sorry for the delayed answer. It is not an issue of the amount of RAM (my PC has got 16 GB). It is not an issue of unplugging the usb stick whilst some necessary files are used by it. The issue does not show up straight after a fresh frugal BWpup 64bit installation but days after. The most likely cu...

darksun

but I was referring to the X.org version of your vanilladpup 10.* I understand that, but I prefer to spend less of my time on deprecated stuff that will go away in future versions. If anyone volunteers to submit a fix to woof-CE, I don't mind cherry-picking this fix into a future 10.0.x release. I ...

mikewalsh I actually use this one https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=70342#p70342 which I guess it is the same piece of software (made by fredx181 ) just packaged as .pet by Sofiya ... so for convenience I keep a copy of the .pet version which you can always open and extract the binary fr...

@dimkr perhaps could resolve this in the next build?

Redshit doesn't support Wayland so this is a dead end, I feel like it's a waste of development time.

I get your point but I was referring to the X.org version of your vanilladpup 10.*

darksun

Just resuming this old post to confirm this is an ongoing issue, the .pet application works just fine.

@dimkr perhaps could resolve this in the next build?

I see... I see the point, thank you!

Hi,
just continuing playing with vanilla dpup.

BWpup64's deadbeef is version 1.9.6 whilst vanilla dpup's one is still 1.8.8 since a while.

Just curious, it is hold back for any reason in particular?

Thank you.

DS

darksun

thank you!
I did not see that, I did not explore "event manager" thinking it related to other stuff.

Hi, I have had this critical issue since I have started trying vanilla dpup, since version .48. To be noted that I have not had this issue with other linux distros, among them there are bookwormpup64, fossapup, antix, MX linux and so on. I successfully make a bootable usb stick of those distros usin...

Hi,

on the bottom left corner, where the mounted storage media icons are shown, they are too close to each other

https://ibb.co/bdLckng

How can we put bit more space among them?

Thank you!

DS

darksun

thank you to all of you. After a reboot the issue has presented itself again. As one of my modus operandi is to leave the OS as much default as possible, I do not touch the desktop at all. Recently I am using eth0 instead of wlan0 so the only thing I have changed is to disable WiFi using the ConnMan...

If issuing the command you might want to try including the path to the PuppyPin file rox -p /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin If the PuppyPin file has become corrupted or problematic in some way, as rockedge says, the original is in the main puppy.sfs So with a frugal it would probably be a case of ...

We also need to make changes here: https://www.tecmint.com/linux-distributions-for-old-computers/ That opinion article was posted in 2014! If the site hasn't updated it, that's on them, not us. Last "reply" was in 2021... within the article it is mentioned The latest version of Anti X is ...

rox -p default & it gives me grey background/pinboard I was not doing anything particular, just playing with dmesg -w and my ethernet cable that for a mysterious reason first passed away than resurrected after 3 fiddling around the socket, I am sure this is unrelated with my rox/pinboard issues.

darksun

Another issue with rox/pinboard , maybe they are related. I use bookwormpup64 , frugal installation. More and more often, when I manually unplug the usb stick, the icons on the desktop do not disappear https://ibb.co/ByjYydG If I click on one of them the following error window comes up https://ibb.c...

Hi today suddently, at startup, this error appears at screen https://ibb.co/K5YDYqc the issue I am experiencing is that every time I click on the desktop all icons/conky disappear , clicking again makes them coming back. this is my rox-setting https://ibb.co/NZspTbb I have given the command rox -p=D...

darksun

IMO, without going into further details, Debian > ubuntu , especially for the Puppy linux world, for many reasons, most of which very well explained by @dimkr

darksun

I apology as I am likely OT with this short message here but I wish to give it a little bit of visibility. I have been using *UNIX since more than 20 years and changed many desktop distros. I have fallen in love with puppy linux, its philosophy and its devs; despite I dont post very often in here , ...
