Thanks Fred, you have been making a lot of KL stuff during the year.

Does it do it the other way round? i.e. Re-compress when so desired (for the remastering effect)? It appears so. I didn't do extensive test. Just installed dummy/test app That would be very handy in KL too. I'll add same commandline option to the FR initrd later. Actually should work via external s...

Aside from that all important save2flash, I think there are various other 'utility apps' being used in different KL distro releases aren't there? For example, some have samba, others grub2config and I'm sure there are several other such that may be in Airedale or Hyperland but I haven't as yet inclu...

No time here to test this, but good idea to automate the PFI creation. Does it do it the other way round? i.e. Re-compress when so desired (for the remastering effect)?

I have no idea if the recently discovered xz backdoor (posted about elsewhere on the forum https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=115556#p115556) effects 32bit distro builds, but it does seem problematic in recent Ubuntu according to: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/whats-happening-in-noble-rep...

Btw, if I may ask (just curious), where do you live now ? (if it's top-secret, just don't answer )

In Asia... currently in Philippines but further down the road Thailand being considered

Good to hear you got that all going Fred. I was a bit surprised you needed to create a pfull directory for the uncompressed read/write filesystem though, but though it had crossed my mind that PFI should be relatively easy to use with DebianDogs I never tried it. Because I'm 'on the move - house-wis...

I'm still in very cramped temporary accommodation, but move to slightly better arrangement next week and should have reasonably reliable internet there. Have a backlog of non-forum-related work keeping me busy for some time into the future, but in-between times I at least want to do a bit organising...

Free VPN Apps on Google Play Turn Phones into Proxies - March 26, 2024 Several free Android VPN apps have been found to support a malicious residential proxy operation named ‘ Proxylib .’ Proxylib infects Android devices with an agent that conceals malicious activities such as ad fraud, bot usage, ...

oh fellow on the Bodhi board had suggested couple desktop menu entries to make starting and stopping Waydroid easier. They do. Probably a slicker way but this works and fairly convenient. [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=WaydroidSTART Exec=sh -c "weston --width=1280 --height=665 -Swayland...

Thank you for being with me! ;) OF course! You are one of us. :thumbup: @wiak is in the middle of a huge move of his household from one country to another......back online soon....... :thumbup2: wiak (being me) is now in the other country but in the middle of a mess. Very intermittent internet here...

Always interesting to have step to step building tutorials of other distros than those followed otherwise on this forum. That provides new ideas and mechanisms we can, if useful, copy and improve in our own productions. So let's hope the promised offering is as good and less feeble, in terms of save...

re: changing order of loading of some modules. I'm far from computer just on android phone just now. However, partly from memory: If you are booting a KL distro via huge kernel, that has media drivers built in so not loading modules as part of boot process anyway. I have no idea how kernel detects/o...

Sorry guys, I just made my big move from NZ and don't have permanent home nor reliable internet yet.Thus just saw your posts about issues with Void updates. Hope that has settled down now. It will be some weeks at least before I can test out some builds to determine if any underlying build component...

on android phone right now. Pretty sure the klv sway iso I used was from first post thread

Set up KLU jam frugal alongside full Linux Mint in triple boot scenario with ms windows for my eldest son heading to uni. Actually a wd_multi klu install and two separate full Linux Mint installs (different partitions) for redundancy since I wont be there should something badly break... I preferred ...

Actually first priority, once I get back into KL more deeply again will be to accumulate all the new/latest developments and get them onto FirstRib gitlab so easier to make consistent KL releases via the build system plugins. I have nothing against any and all users supplementing what becomes standa...

I don't know... I'm now on the big move so maybe just thinking 'ambitiously'... but... I'm tempted to work on a build of Puppy - similar to traditional, but different. Not using FirstRib initrd, so not KL-approach, but using Puppy system scripts with a new design of initrd that learns a lot from FR....

Don't you feel it would be a good idea to re-establish a woof-CE development and maintenance team in some organised fashion that encourages individual changes but works as a team to accept or reject new ideas pushed? Whilst dimkr , who was close to single-handedly operating that ship, has indicated ...

this year will be the year of multi-instanced (KL terminology) virtual machines and remote login network config work for me. I have server with tons of RAM so I might as well use it and get my cherrytree notebook memory expanded and better organised. Either that or I'll just drink more coffee in som...

Most everything seems complicated (sometimes to the point of seeming impossible) if you are not used to doing it. The opposite is also usually true. Nowadays, in some but not all areas of Linux maintenance, I thankfully often now find it really easy (Linux is relatively consistent in what it expects...

Cortile sounds great for use with Xfce. Personally, I really wish Xfce would move to full Wayland support, but despite or perhaps because of their 'roadmap' I rather doubt that will happen in any near future. labwc may be best option in between times. I take it cortile is just for X? From an actual ...

Whilst there are lots of ways to skin a cat, and that includes going as close to system level as possible, which has an advantage for some systems including for example embedded (as an ex-electronics-engineer, that was the area I once programmed in). However, for typical computer system users I have...

What you think of laser printers instead of ink printers ? Clearly, I'd say, the text printing quality is better with laser printers, but not so good for photos/images. Also, toner dust is extremely fine and bad for the lungs!!! I wouldn't want to sit in a less than well-ventilated room when a lase...

Now I need to select a distro for using the wallpaper... The beach is nearish to where I currently live (it is 105 km north). Most beautiful beach in New Zealand IMO. A bit difficult/far to reach, but interesting also cos has tons of seals living on its rocky outcrops and plenty of walk-through cave...

@mouldy Void Linux uses runit normally. The Kennel Linux's based on Void Linux all use runit for service control There are some Kennel Linux's that now are pure Wayland and either Sway or a very nice KLV-HyprlandCE using Hyprland-Wayland-pipewire based on a Void Linux foundation and uses the XBPS p...

BionicPup64. My favorite Puppy.

Definitely one of the best Pups. Certainly very fast and uses low resources.

I know that this can easily be solved by changing the boot parameter to: w_bootfrom=LABEL=a2=/mnt/sda2/klv8 w_bootfrom=UUID=xxxxxxx=/mnt/sda2/klv8 Regarding the above two lines... almost correct, but should be this: w_bootfrom=LABEL=a2=/klv8 w_bootfrom=UUID=xxxxxxx=/klv8 You don't refer to the part...

Actually on it : Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS. Now I want to change to Puppy Linux Slacko64 Puppy 7.0, of which I have the iso on a bootable USB. I wanted to change the boot order, but I do not see the USB mentioned in the BIOS/UEFI. Post a photo of the BIOS/UEFI screen to show the window of that about boot ...

I was trying to put FirstRib init file (extracted from KLV-Airedale-sr8's initrd) in Debian 11 kernel (5.10.0-8-amd64) initrd, to boot my debian 11 based sfs, only to find that the Debian11 kernel/initrd cannot mount ntfs (since my sfs frugal system is located in an ntfs drive). I modified the Firs...
