Re: How to setup Go dev environment in puppy linux ?

That's great if you've already loaded devx! For the GoLand, I see that they also have got a similar .tar.gz archive here: https://www.jetbrains.com/go/download/#section=linux. You can install it in the similar way as dimkr has already told you for go. I've tested it on F-96_4. GoLand's GUI seems to ...

Re: Foolproof way to put mounted partition status in Conky?

As far as I could understand your question, maybe you are trying to display mounted partitions in Conny window. This may help you then: https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=10679. Note that it can possibly overwrite your existing conkyrc. BTW, I can point out the required code to you, if you...

Re: X doesn't start properly after NoblePup32 rebuild - help request

Are you running this directly on your hardware, or is it QEMU that you use? FYI, I was asking this because, with QEMU, the commands I used to run Jammy64 were unusable with Fossa64. But, I don't think that might be the issue since earlier without the changes, as you say, the build was working fine f...

Re: Automatically Mount Shared Folder on Bootup (solved)

You can also add the command in /etc/rc.d/rc.local. This should give you the same results.

Also, /etc/fstab is also there; but I have not used it for anything else except normal partitions.

Re: How to create a single instance app?

In bash, we would just check if the process with that name is already running (using something like pidof). Not sure how you'll implement that in C?


The easiest will be to just call the command and read its output in your C code.
