I wonder if it's related to the xz compression of those two LibreOffice sfs? The Kdenlive sfs, which installed okay isn't an xz type (I believe).

Something weird is going on duplicating my posts as well.

Looks like an unidentified moderator has interfered with the title -- this has happened to me as well lately, and it's extremely irritating!

I have been using a version of Photofiltre since 2006. Excellent for image and photo editing and creation. Easy to use and full featured and runs well with WINE. I remember PhotoFiltre! I liked it. So I just found an old version (7 from 2016, I believe) online and have installed that. I really like...

Well it'll start up into the initial welcome and then you go to the theme selection screens, but once you've selected a theme, and then gone on to open the main program, that's when the crash happens (I mean if it does). But maybe you're right and your version of Wine has that worked out. If so, nice!

I see you marked this thread "Solved" so was there a solution?

BTW, I've seen you mention Sketchup on several occasions, so I tracked down a 7-series build from OldVersions.com - this is 7.0.10247 - and have taken a quick look at it. Looks interesting! I'll investigate further during the coming weeks, as & when I get a bit more free time... Mike. :D Mike G...

Playing around with Photoscape a little, Mike. I like what I see so far. My go-to photo editor is plain MTPaint for basic resizing photos, filetype change, cropping, adjusting brightness or contrast, or adding lines or text. That represents about 90% of my everyday photo-editor usage. It's fast and ...

MIke, I'll have to try that one. Which HP laptop do you have now? I just got my first of that brand, and like you, it's a giant step up, though I, like you, also always intended it to be a Puppy machine, with a few exceptions for special programs. I see nothing wrong with a portable including wine f...

Hi. I can use UEXTRACT to unpack/extract a .db file. In my example use it unpacks a .sql file. I want to edit this file manually. After editing I want to pack it again into a .db file. How do I do this? Thanks Many different programs create ".db" extension named files, (it's a common name...

As a newcomer of Puppy Linux I installed ClamTk from Puppy Package Manager, but it didn't work. In Puppy Linux discussion forum I only found a very old discussion (old forum), which didn't help. Now I've worked out through some readings in Internet and own tries a way, getting ClamTk to do its job....

I have Wine installed for a few Win programs I can't do without (the old free Google SketchUp 7 and 8 for example, not Trimble's later versions). BUT... I also have one program I could probably do without via Linux apps, except that it just does what it does better than any other I have tried. It is...

If the USB drive isn't quite responding fast enough to whatever timing delay the BIOS has on first access or autodetection, then BIOS may sometimes recognize its existence and others times not. By slowing down the process manually and forcing boot to USB, that autodetection is bypassed. This doesn't...

Hahaha, Wizard!

Oh, man I bought a three pack of those ONN drives. What a mistake!!! I mean I can use a chisel on stone and record more characters per hour than those things can absorb. I think they are actually filled with cotton.

I like Seamonkey. I admit it. I know it's not the latest style, prettiest, or even most versatile browser. It's in fact ancient, dating back to Netscape. There's nothing flashy about it. Nevertheless........ The first thing I do when trying out a new Puppy, and after getting connected, is to type in...

Aged USB port contact issues and timing issues for some slow USB thumbdrives can cause erratic behavior on booting. One evidence I hear in the above is that you did successfully boot to savefile once, but couldn't repeat it afterwards. That to me indicates an intermittent issue, and intermittent iss...

I have a new laptop, all Intel standard stuff aboard (graphics, wifi). S-15 is no better than Fossapup in its lack of usability on a so called modern machine. At startup it lacks wifi card and sound card support, and if I was a new user experimenting with linux I'd probably stop there and go back to...

Did you try the suggestions?

Easier but not guaranteed, test Easy 5.7 with the kernel (and modules) from easyvoid I thought I'd give this a try, but ran into amateur problems. First try was using my present F96-CE installation to mount the EasyOS .img file using williwaw' mount-img script. But though it mounted both EasyOS and...

Yes, EasyVoid 240308 worked!

Sounds good, thanks Caramel. I'll try it.

FAT32 won't handle ANY single file larger than 4gb. Not just Puppy savefiles. Large video files, virtual machines, etc. over 4gb can not be saved on FAT32. Most modern puppies can create larger savefiles than 4 gb on linux ext filesystems. Some of the older puppies did not recommend going above 2gb ...

Just out of curiosity, Bigpup, I just tried stick installs of the old 5.x kernel crowd: Bionic64, Fossa64 9.5, and they both failed much earlier in the boot process (the errors I saw were that they couldn't find the UUID partition of the stick). EasyOS Kirkstone64 didn't have that problem and nearly...

Hi bigpup, thanks, I went further and re-downloaded, checked, and reinstalled on a new thumbdrive. No save, totally fresh. Nope. No change: totally fresh install on different thumbdrive does not start X on this new laptop. And as a confirmation that the install works elsewhere, I tried it on my old ...

Thanks for replying Frederico -- for some reason I didn't get a notification of your reply, so I'm sorry about the day delay in answering. Yes, secure boot is disabled and in fact I'm writing this on the same laptop running F-96 CE ver 4, from USB stick, which I've been using for almost a week. Ther...
