. Problem downloading files from Samsung Android phone to PC running Bionic Dog 32bit via USB data cable. See attached error message. Is fixing this a simple matter of downloading/installing something using Synaptic? I tried some search terms but could not find anything that matched the error messa...

Fred, thank you so much for your script. It did work as expected. Ultimately I ended up using quantumbox's solution which just seems a little cleaner. With the script for launch and close I would see chrome show on the taskbar and then disappear as X is starting. I tried reducing the time limit but...

thanks so much fred for your response. can you tell me the next line of code that will close chrome as well? i dont necessarily want it to remain open, i just want it to have been previously opened and loaded into ram. bc the first time it opens it takes so long but the second time it opens immedia...

Thanks Fred, it's been a long time I always click annoying warning at first launch

Hi sinc, you can try also rtl8812au-dkms package that you can install with apt-get or synaptic. (I didn't test though and not sure if it provides also the rtl8821AU driver) First install linux-headers-4.15.0-22-generic and then rtl8812au-dkms Fred I just realized that the rtl8812au-dkms driver exis...

Thanks so much quantumbox. based on your instructions I got my wifi working last night. Though inside the file you sent was a readme file that directed me to another site with a more updated driver. So I used that one but either way... its working and I thank you. I haven't tried upgrading the pack...

Hi all, thank you so much for your efforts. This has been so much fun to play around with. Just fyi before my question, I'd put me in the category of novice linux user. I'm not afraid to try stuff but don't know what I'm doing without googling it. I am using the Cinnamon variation of BionicDog. I b...

I don't know if this is normal, when shutdown the following warning appears Failed unmounting /mnt/live/memory/changes Failed unmounting /mnt/live/mnt/sda1 Failed unmounting /mnt/live Is this safe or are there another solution BTW I'm using portreous boot in ext4 HDD, and same problem in USB ext4 T...

Hi quantumbox, The Cinnamon edition of BionicDog was modified in true Puppy fashion to run everything as root. That entailed forcing some items not normally run as root to do so including: chromium (Tested then removed. Poses no real problem whilst the root flag continues to exist) vlc cups nemo-de...

I tried updating cinnamon desktop from ppa:embrosyn/cinnamon, update everything. After restarting the xorg, the desktop was missing.I know that it was nemo-desktop which cannot run in root.
My question is how to be able to run nemo-desktop as root

Hi, Screen goes blank/saver kick in when I watch youtube videos, and no mouse activity for a while. Where do you set the time out or disable screen blanking? Thanks. EDIT: Found it - Thank you. http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=113210&start=174 On Bionicdog cinnamon edition on start ...

how to install Chrome or Chromium on this? Download via Snaptic does not work. Install deb file from official Chrome download, this will also add custom repository for next update Run with this command google-chrome-stable --no-sandbox because Chrome not allow root user to run this with default set...

This is my favorite tool for managing pdf on Linux, even when I move to Bionic dog, I still use this. I've just try install Debian noroot on my android tablet, I wonder if there is armhf architecture version for this. Ok, I've just manual install by extracting the pet file and copying bin file, des...

Hi, is there an equivalent to puppy's "32-bit compatibility sfs" for BionicDog64? Thanks. Like mike said, adding 32 bit architecture, dpkg --add-architecture i386 apt-get update but you will facing a problem with overwriting /usr/share/doc and /usr/share/man. I resolve this by deleting al...

I have installed bionicdog with openbox wm, can I replace the squashfs file with the one from the cinnamon ISO file? can this damage the system? That depends, probably you mean when using existing save storage ? With existing savefile (or folder) used with openbox, I'm almost sure that it won't wor...

I have installed bionicdog with openbox wm, can I replace the squashfs file with the one from the cinnamon ISO file? can this damage the system?

Obviously there's something wrong with the (older) evince package from custom Bionicdog64 repository and updating gives error (as dcung reported), couldn't figure out what's the problem, so decided to remove it from this repo. To replace this existing older package with the official evince Ubuntu p...

Ah, yes, I think I see what you mean, I once did update a Puppy(new ISO release) and the old savefile got converted accordingly, worked very well. No, such thing is not possible with the 'Dog' distro's. Fred For now I'm happy with save folder and upgrade all packages, maybe save folder is quicker t...
