Firefox just sucks and has for sometime now. Xenialpup comes with the Pale Moon browser It is developed by people that left Firefox, because they did not like the way Firefox was going. Never had a problem using it. Before trying anything else and anything more invasive, simply launch your Firefox ...

Look in Firefox preferences and see what it is setup to do automatically. Look at any web pages you have it accessing. Web pages now seem to have all kinds of things going on in the background. New pop ups, videos playing, and changing, etc...... Who knows how much memory those things are burning u...

Hi, Lunos. With regard to the nature of the forum itself, you have to realise that this isn't a large forum run by a whole bunch of people, who get financing through advertising, etc. The Puppy Forums are provided solely by a single individual, and paid for totally out of his own pocket.

One bit of advice. WINE problems, we generally sort out in open forum. Version 2013, though the Puppy 'guru' of building WINE packages, very rarely if ever answers questions on that thread. I think he's shy! :lol: I guess I should make a new thread for the issue then? I left a reply in his thread r...

@ Lunos "Menu > System > Puppy Event Manager > Save Session Tab / Periodic save from RAM" (Guidance on that page should be self-explanatory :wink:) When done, click "OK" Thank you! The only thing left to solve is an issue I'm having after installing Wine, but I'll just take that...

May be better if you just start over fresh, with a new partition setup, and fresh install of Xenialpup. Yep, in the end that's just what I did. I think I have everything perfectly set now. I just need to find out why does my PC get stuck every 10-15 minutes. Is it possible that the OS is "Savi...

Lunos, has your original problem with the resolution been solved? Are we on to other things now? If so, It's better to start a new topic. Yes, that issue was solved as soon as I booted up Xenial. It got the right screen resolution right away. Guess I'll make a new thread for tbis issue with my free...

Partitioning unallocated space should be no problem. It is there, so use it for something. If you want Xenialpup only using it. Format in a Linux format ext 3 or 4. How are you trying to install stuff? This is how Puppy does it: Basic info on installing additional programs. Program packages need to...

EDIT : I was able to solve my issue by making a new partition with the unallocated space using GParted. I think that worked, because I was able to install devkitARM successfully now. No, I actually wasn't. If I try to install anything, I still get warnings telling me about my low free space, even t...

So, I was able to try Bionic Puppy just now, and sadly, it doesn't boot up. The PC gets stuck in the line: "BionicPup64 8.0 - Linux 4.19.23 [x86_64]". It's like it can't properly recognize the USB stick I have the files in. If I wait a little bit, the line "Waiting for USB storage...&...

Does the laptop screen provide 1366 X 768 when it it not hooked to the external monitor when using that slacko puppy? If the laptop screen does not provide that resolution (which it sho...

The Linux Intel graphics driver, that comes in Puppy, is all there is for Intel graphics. Is there some graphics issue you are having???? You are using a very old version of Puppy. The Intel driver has been improved along with other graphic support in Puppy. So a newer Puppy version may give better...
