Something seems to have changed in the structure of Wine with Series 4. I have not been able to create a functional Portable Wine. I had trouble getting the decompressed PET file to turn into a SFS. Certain files would not be put into the file system. I figured out that the problem was with writing...

Am I not seeing something, or is the Puppy Font Manager not in the menus? I was able to open it by terminal (once I looked up the name), but I couldn't find it in the menu anywhere. I find it quite useful. I can bump up the font DPI to 120, which is much better on my monitor. I could have sworn it w...

The boot-up help file is inaccurate, as it seems the puppy alias hasn't been included in the boot list. (All of the existing menu options use .linux instead.) It also would be nice if the pfix=nocopy option was in the boot menu. I would think it would be commonly used for fast boots at the cost of s...

His pets are 0.1.8, the first release to work on Firefox, and still has quite a lot of bugs, from audio glitching on some videos to messed up volume controls to just plain crashes. Plus, well, they're not exactly easy to find, since it's not in the PET section of the forums. Instead, I found an even...

So, basically, just try the latest version that's below my current kernel version, and see if it works? Doable, I guess. I'd rather do it running from pfix=ram, though, for testing purposes. No need to keep track of anything ___________________________ Anyways, to address what others above me have m...

I apparently need perf top for some troubleshooting of one of my programs, but I can't figure out how to install it. On Ubuntu, I would need to install the package linux-tools-<kernel_version>. But neither my current kernel version (3.14.20) nor any of the others available at http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp...

Yes. That's the file I wanted. Thanks so much! Thanks for updating it, too That fixed a keyboard problem I had in the previous versions, where I had to use a weird workaround to input certain characters. Only downside right now is that it seems to make my UltraVNC viewer (on Windows 7) hang and stop...

Any chance of getting the latest stable version with OSMesa support compiled in? I apparently have OSMesa6 10.1.0, if that matters.

I'm trying to get certain programs running that try to use OpenGL, and the error I get is that OSMesa is not compiled in.

Does the inclusion of Mesa mean you have OSMesa support? That is what I'm currently looking for.

And, great. The full version (which I never tried) has also been deleted.


Is someone going through and deleting all x11vnc stuff for some reason? WHY?

Where did the x11vnc pet go? It's no longer listed up there. I tried getting the latest from my packagemanger, and it was more complicated than just running this one, did not provide a way tell it to run at startup, and failed at first and only worked after it opened a GUI that then launched a termi...

Do note that, as I said, the widevine from Chrome 48 does still work on Chromium 49. From what I read, the module hadn't changed. But it may in the future.

And I'm probably not going to be able to help much with testing. I hope at least bringing it to your attention is appreciated.

Oh. I used the latest Chromium SFS (version 49) that you guys have here. And I'm on tahrpup (6.0.5, I think). I didn't test anything else. The Chrome I used was version 48, since that's the last 32-bit Linux version. There's a link to the .deb file on the chromium-widevine page I linked earlier. Fro...

I just confirmed that getting widevine from Chrome works, at least, on the 32-bit version. I downloaded the last 32bit version of Chrome from the link on archlinux's chromium-widevine package . I then extracted libwidevinecdm.so and libwidevinecdmadapter.so, and put them in /usr/lib/chromium, replac...

You say it's solved, but you're still not using native Firefox. And I just had a breakthrough on that front! I turned on media.fragmented-mp4.ffmpeg.enabled and media.fragmented-mp4.gmp.enabled, and suddenly I was able to H264 video on YouTube in the HTML5 player! I note that gstreamer was turned of...

Does the Gnome Media Player plugin even work for HTML5 video? I thought you had to use Gstreamer. HTML5 video isn't supposed to use plugins--that's the whole point.

BTW, the readme you do provide is a little confusing. You don't leave the Gateway and such stuff blank, but set it to 0.0.0.0. Leaving it actually blank often causes programs to tell you "you must enter Gateway" or similar.

Why not create an actual menu entry? That's the most intuitive way for things to work with a PET. I'd model it after the x11vnc script, which will inform you if it's working and prompt to install it permanently, as well as tell you to run it again to uninstall. And why not set dnsmasq as a dependenc...

It's not just XML declarations. It also fails if you've customized your .fonts.conf in a way that changes the expected type of an option. I was using the const "hintslight" for hintstyle, copied from another config that worked better. But fontmanager only supports integers for that value. ...

tahrpup does have a battery alarm built in to powerapplet_tray, set to go off at 10% battery left. it's also supposed to turn 'blue' when plugged in and 'red' when unplugged. if it's not working, you could try this http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=85475 Trying that now. I wonder what is...
