So what's Flash's viewpoint on this? We are just talking and nothing seems to happen. What exactly are we waiting for? We can't wait for Murga. Simple really. It has nothing to do with the moderators. If you want to move, then move. If you want to stay, then stay. But apart from John Murga himself ...

Everyone keeps blaming the forum. Why doesn't anyone ever blames the organisation that blocks the email in the first place? Just because the email has HTTP link in it?

Hi Zooming Puppies, How do I update Zoom in FatDog? Zoom wouldn't let me join my monthly meeting tonight. It says I must update to 5.0 Zoom. I choose Debian from the list of Linux types. It downloads the same Zoom version 8.0 that I took back in March. I am assuming that I go to FatDog site for ans...

Is TCC supported by the GTK font dialog? Do any free versions exist? I don't know an answer to either of your questions. The answer to both questions are "YES". For the second question, you can convert any font file into TTC yourself, here's a tool to do that (Note: description in Japanes...

Thanks for the compliment. Unfortunately I may not have the time for that. That's why I said earlier that if you want bootable USB stick, I already have it; but if you want ISO, I'll pass because I don't have it yet and I may not have the time to do anything about it. You may want to try frugalpup o...

James, can you explain a little bit ? Is it a technical issue, a legal issue or ... Nothing like that at all. I happened to play with the creation of bootable BIOS/UEFI flash drives recently, where you can put vmlinuz, initrd, grub.cfg and it just boots, no questions asked. So if that's what you're...

Uh hu! So we'll have to revert to Bluetooth, then! Shouldn't be too difficult for the well-educated folk on this Forum? Oy my carpal tunnel hurts! :D Incidentally, wasn't Bluetooth a Danish invention? I'm not very sure of this. Wasn't popular at first but now seem to have found it's uses. Three wor...

If you're asking for bootable flash drive, I have something to tell you. If it's a bootable ISO you're looking for, I'll have to give it a pass.

@jake29: Thanks for the clarification. Unfortunately the story about BT is almost the same each time, especially dongles (the same applies to Wifi dongles too to a lesser degree). It remains one of the area in Linux where driver problems are very common. Once upon a time I had a broadcom combined wi...

@Sage: Claws mail is now on the repo. Almost all plugins were built with the exception of webkit, for the obvious reasons. @jake29: That's odd. If you can pair you should be able to stream (assuming you want to play audio from your machine to your BT headset). Stop the bluetooth service and restart ...

IMHO Claws is well suited to Linuses. Maybe ask for it to be offered routinely in FD/PPMs complete with deps.? Claws is a fork of Sylpheed. We have sylpheed in the repo; and I personally use it as well. It's small and fast and does everything I need. I would suggest to give Sylpheed a try for peopl...

@jake29: glad you get it working. @ac2011 - thanks for the compliment. For the network dropouts - I'm encountering it too on my Atheros wifi. Usually cases like this is because of kernel problem, or firmware problem. In some other cases it could be because of power management (the network card "...

mikprog:

It has been years since I last used Xming. I hope the following will help:
1. DO NOT USE "MultiWindow". Use either "One-window" or "fullscreen".
2. The program that you want to start is "/root/.xinitrc"

Good luck.

My original question was rhetorical, but for those who answered it (ozsouth and some1), thank you. The fact of the matter is this: people __always__ choose convenience above anything else. Including security. Security will only factor in once the inconvenience of insecure communications outweights t...

You know, there is an alternative to Zoom, right? It's not a Hobson's choice. Online meetings and video conferencing software is old hat. Even before the start of the millenium we already have Microsoft Netmeeting for those who remember it. Today there are plenty more of alternatives. Microsoft has ...

dr.Dan, which version of Fatdog you're using?

This seems to be a problem with libapulse. Please uninstall libapulse and try it again. If it works the install the latest version of libapulse from gslapt, and then try again.

PS: did you receive my email?

But here is the PEARL TIP: close seamonkey completely before you join a meeting. You can start it again while in the meeting, that's OK. But close it before the meeting, especially if you've been surfing youtube or other audio sites. This tip is purely experiential but it seems to work. Yes this is...

my 2c: you should not do this in pinstall.sh. If the dependencies are not found, just run xmessage saying that the required dependencies aren't installed and the user is supposed to install it themselves, or the package will not work.

I think the answer depends on the application projects themselves, not Puppy. - qemu has moved to SDL2, after a few years of co-existence (I held onto SDL1 until they finally gave it up). - dosbox still uses SDL1 Fatdog carries both SDL1 and SDL2 in its base. I'm also investigating backporting some ...
