Nope. wipefreespace.txt is not allowed either. I found more library files on the internet. Some are rpms. When I click on them to install them, the Xarchive file extractor program opens, but shows all 3 of the rpms as being empty, even though their file sizes are about 70K. I also found a deb, which ...

I tried renaming wipefreespace to wipefreespace.noext. The forum still says that extension is not allowed. I guess I will try wipefreespace.txt next.

I am trying to send the executable, but the forum tells me "The Extension is not allowed". There is no extension. The file's name is 'wipefreespace'. What should I do?

Ok. I googled further and found out what the ldd output lines mean at

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/344 ... dd-program

So, only the libreiser4 and libaal libraries are missing. I will keep googling for them.

I did not know about ldd. I ran ldd against wipefreespace. ldd listed only libreiser4-1.0.so.7 and libaal-1.0.so.5 as 'not found'. But there were 11 other lines of output like these: linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) and libuuid.so.1 => /lib/libuuid.so.1 (0xb77d7000) I googled "man ldd" and read the ...

Yes, the deb worked! It installed libhfsp.so. Unfortunately, WipeFreeSpace still won't run and now complains that libreiser4-1.0.so.7 is missing. I just googled and found some rpms but none of them worked. I also looked in the repository you found: old-releases.ubuntu.com and libreiser is not there ...

Hi matchpoint. shred does not wipe free space: it securely erases files. I am not trying to do that. I am trying to keep all the files in the partition and erase the rest of the partition. secure-delete does wipe some free space, but not cluster tips (the free space at the end of a file which does ...

I'm trying to get WipeFreeSpace to run on Puppy 5.2.8. Here is a description: http://wipefreespace.sourceforge.net/ It seems to be a really good program to wipe all free space including cluster tips (cluster slack) even on partitions where Windows is installed. I think there is no other program that ...

Hi. I am using Pale Moon 27.4.2 64-bit on Tahrpup 6.0.6 64-bit. When I click on a link to a pdf file in Pale Moon I want a window to come up and offer the choice of saving the file or opening it with evince. In Edit->Preferences->Applications, I have set "Pdf File" to "Always Ask". I edited /root ...

Hi Mike. I agree about social media including Twitter and Facebook. I don't have accounts on either one. But a website I use has links to others' twitter accounts. I want to be able to watch their videos.

Thanks, musher0. I did download it. To all who replied: I had no idea there were so many ways to search the forum and other puppy-related sites. And I've been using the forum off and on for 9 years. Thanks. It would be great for someone to disable the 'Search' function that appears at the forum ...

Great. I had no idea that I could specify a website, as in 'site:murga-linux.com' in a google search. I may be wrong, but to be precise, Google's advanced search language does not seem to include the + operator; only the - operator. If you type into google 'tahrpup usb site:murga-linux.com' (without ...

Thanks. I added "[SOLVED]".

[mostly_lurking: Thanks for the post. I write the below not really to request answers from you, but to request someone to add answers to these questions to the FAQ.] --- But how do I edit the subject line of the first post? -- Actually, I did search for "touchpad AND settings AND persist" in topic ...

Can someone post or add to the FAQ how to search this forum? When I search, I always get either no results or 100 pages of irrelevant results. In particular, how can one search for a particular exact phrase? how can one search for *all* of several terms [AND]? how can one search for *any* of several ...

I'm back. I found the problems. jafadmin's suggestion was good. I booted to Tahrpup 6.0.5, which has no problem mounting the flash drives. I ran GPartEd on the flash drives that Tahrpup x64 6.0.6 would not detect. There were 2 such flash drives. GPartEd displayed their file systems with no problem ...

Yes, it worked! Thank you very much. Sorry if this problem has been addressed before. There seems to be no way to effectively search the forum for solutions: a search returns either no results or 100 pages of irrelevant results. I wish someone would explain in the Help section how to search for a ...

It is 03:20 here now. I'll go to bed and continue in the morning. Thanks for your help so far.

I forgot to say that I have windows 10 on the 100 GB partition encrypted by TrueCrypt.

I have 3 partitions: 1) 100 GB NTFS partition encrypted by TrueCrypt 2) 320 GB NTFS partition unencrypted 3) 50 GB FAT32 partition unencrypted The tahr64save file and many other pup_save files are in the FAT32 partition. I should say that I also have Tahrpup 6.0.5 PAE on the FAT32 partition. It is ...
