Happily running med v1 with my very slightly trimmed LXDE/PCManFM/Personal Configs ydrv from FossaPup64 9.5. Your 'med' version is a slightly better fit with the apps I had in my ydrv than your 'min' version but both run well. A very welcome update and pruning of the already very good 9.5. Runs the ...

My system is installed on a bootable USB drive with the so-called encryption option, i.e. with a password / LUKS partition. The lock option launched by clicking on the icon on the desktop works OK after closing the lid of the laptop there is no reaction even the led does not flash. for the experime...

In my current kennel, Never ever! My hardware is pretty much circa 2012, with a couple of slightly newer Bay Trail desktops. All run SSDs, Atheros wifi cards on the laptops and probably Realtek ethernet on the desktops. RAM varies 2 to 6 Gb, Pups are all frugal installs, LxPupSc64 on one users Bay T...

Marv

N_da . 30 second cooks tour. The drive use is pretty much in line with other newer pups, except for the addition of the bdrv with its' APT/synaptic support. puppy_ dpup_10.0.sfs carries the bulk of the OS, the adrv carries a 'starter browser, the fdrv has the firmware for many -but not all- wifi ca...

Marv

@N_da , The support for APT etc is on the bdrv, included in the iso, not in the main SFS in bookworm64. In my frugal install to SSD, that bdrv goes in the directory with the main SFS, initrd etc. and is loaded automatically on boot. I don't use the supplemental adrv or the fdrv so I omit those.

Marv

Morning here peebee , Thanks -again- Up and running the 6.3.7 kernel in LxPupSc64 23.01 +2 and (structure usrmerge adjusted) jammypup64 E1. The LxPupSc64 install is a traditional grub4dos frugal to SSD with savefile. the jammypup64 is also grub4dos to SSD, but a custom ydrv driven savefile-less inst...

Marv

peebee , Which ydrv did you use? I've run F96-CE and another jammypup64 with your LXDE ydrvs but never succeeded in getting drives-on-desktop to work in LXDE in those. The last success I had with it was in VoidPup64. That's kind of a sticking point for me so I went back to the JWM desktop/PCManFM f...

Marv

Continuing to use Bookworm Pup64 as my daily. Set up with my customizations on ydrv, no fdrv, no adrv, bdrv as needed, all browsers etc. as portables. Savefile used temporarily as an easy conduit to the ydrv for major changes. Other than the multimedia hiccups reported by peebee, it is running super...

Marv

mikewalsh The E1 iso in post 1 is the most recent version. At some point in the development deltas were dropped as being confusing. I've been running E1 albeit customized with PCManFM, my symlinks and JWM configuration, and synaptics drivers for touchpad in a ydrv for some time now and other than a...

Marv

dimkr Thanks, I did have ipv6 disabled by kernel command line in LxPupSc64, VoidPup64, and F96-CE_4 but not in jammypup64 or Bookworm Pup64 so I played with that but indeed that wasn't it. ozsouth I think I've got it. In the 'older' pups the /etc/hosts file isn't set up by default to do ad blocking...

Marv

Exactly where does this code change go? Usually into /root/.bashrc . All the explanations are here . In several of the 'newer pups, F96-CE, another jammypup64, Bookworm Pup64 for example, /etc/profile is included in /root/.bashrc (by . /etc/profile ) so the PS1= code is found in /etc/profile or in ...

Marv

ozsouth No firefox here but here's a quick test on three chromium portables, Brave, Slimjet, and un-googled chromium tested in another jammypup64, a clean ydrv'd non-savefile install of the new Bookworm Pup64 (running beautifully except for a couple of multimedia hiccups), LxPupSc64, and F96-CE_4, ...

Marv

What about two additional topics under additional software, Installers and File Sharing? Those would seem to me be logical homes for lots of the threads discussed in this thread and might help 'forum focus'.

Marv

Another grizzled old dog here. I have used Samsung EVO or the older Intel X-25 SSDS exclusively for a number of years now and still use FAT32 for my smallish boot partition (historic-grub4dos reasons) and EXT2 for my larger data/portables partitions (NEVER have had a failure there, slightly more spa...

Marv

Kernel Build 6.3.0-lxpup64 (x86_64) downloaded and running OOTB in LxPupSc64 23.01 +2 (AUFS) and with usrmerge adjusted kernel modules structure in jammypup64 E1 (overlayfs). The usual Fujitsu S761 hardware, 2nd gen i5 all intel laptop circa 2012. Clean boot -no delays- in both, idle resource and gl...

Marv

That one of @ozsouths' works fine here also, as does his usrmerge 6.1.23. I'm currently running the 6.1.23 for no particular reason.

Marv

I don't (knock on forehead) have any delays to speak of on any of my i5 based lappies no matter what kernel I throw at them. About 17 seconds button push to usefullness from the grub4dos SSD and just the expected 5 second delays and read times from USB3. Does your balky laptop have either an sd card...

Marv

The first question about updates is "is the old version still functional?". Brave may 'bitch & moan', but were you able to use the 'old version'? Some web-sites may be VERY picky. Most aren't. Browsers several years old and many versions behind may still work. But are they secure enou...

Marv

Six further releases are out after 1.48.171. Current is 1.50.119, according with Softpedia. :thumbup2: I pulled my original reply as it was a bit snide but the gist of it was that an update from 1.48.171 to 1.50.120 was trivial. Once Brave started nagging me, I downloaded the desired release as a d...

Marv

pp4mnklinux , Have you tried launching it in a terminal window to see what error messages show up? ie. go to the directory it is expanded into, the one containing 'LAUNCH', open a terminal and execute ./LAUNCH. That might help in diagnosing this. I am in jammypup64 using that Brave at the moment bu...

Marv

What is the approximate year of manufacture of the system? I tried to look it up using the mobo number but had no success. It's been a looong time since I dealt with this, but from 1997 to 2005, there were a lot of bad electrolytic caps installed both in mobos and PSUs and I got pretty proficient at...

Marv

Thanks Mike! No muss no fuss. Running Version 112.0.5615.67 (Official Build, ungoogled-chromium) (64-bit) in 'another jammypup64' version E1 now. Posting from that combo.
v112 gracefully accepted my profile from v110 so a very easy upgrade.

Marv

@yolhurt , Try the following:

Navigate to /usr/lib/sylpheed/plugins/. Rename test.so there (I use test.so_hide) to 'hide' it. Save (we'll assume you're using a savefile or folder) and reboot. That popup should be gone.

Marv

Tested OOTB on jrb's Jammypup64 E1. punionfs=overlay passed as kernel parameter as usual, Fujitsu S761 hardware, 2nd gen i5 all intel laptop circa 2012. Ath9k wifi card so no fdrv required. Clean boot and dmesg, excellent idle resource use, very good idle resource use. No issues at all seen in the i...

Marv

Up and running E1. md5sum correct. Same minimal frugal install to the Fujitsu S761 hardware circa 2012 as previously, repo package information correction from D3 noted, PupMTP checked and working here -thanks-, Sound fine, I'll check USBflash install and boot and multimedia stuff later and just use ...

Marv

Missed being able to transfer files/pictures to and from from my open source android flipphone in jammypup64. Path of least resistance for me was to install PupMTP 1.2 by pet from here https://oldforum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?p=1029389#p1029389, simple-mtpfs-0.3.0-x86_64_common64.pet downloaded...

Marv

I'm successfully running the April 1 2023 'CE Testing' version in post #1, downloaded from github. No major issues encountered to date. Hardware is the usual Fujitsu S761. Install also the usual frugal grub4dos to SSD. Run first with no savefile but with peebee s LXDE ydrv and then with my scrubbed ...

Marv

@dimkr Any pointers on where I should look for breakage?

Marv

Re: An update for OpenSSL (OpenSSL 3.1 Final Release. Got it. Installed cleanly in jammypup D3, version check showed update as yours did. No issues showed up with certs etc. in brief use doing first of month banking stuff. I'll run with it a bit in RAM and then put it into my ydrv.

Thanks,

Marv

It's one of the things that I think Linux has got wrong - the multitude of different 64-bit lib and bin schemes - 32-bit is much more consistent!

Amen! And to snitch a bit from Alexander Mccall Smith, perhaps "Traditionally built" instead of old style
