Hello, all.
Is my PPM broken? I mean: how long is it supposed to take for PPM to
download the fully-enabled conky from the belenos repo?
Please see the time column in htop capture below. It says PPM has been
active for almost 16 minutes. Since nothing was happening, I decided to kill
PPM.
Thanks in advance for any lead.

Hello all.
temperature.will do it!
To know the behavior of your CPU in case of very high temperature, you type:If you want to read the temperature in Fahrenheit degrees instead of
Celsius or Centigrade, type:
Those acpi commands come in handy in librepup, since lm-sensors relies
on non-free firmware that librepup does not provide OOTB.

Congrats on the idea and realization, Iguleder!
What follows may sound like non-sense, so feel free to ignore it, but IMHO it should be the default behavior in any Linux distro, Puppy or not, in order to really push harware vendors to opensource their firmwares/drivers...
1) Boot with a linux-libre kernel
2a) If some hardware need a closed source driver/firmware popup a warning to the user and offer the choice to load a sort of "proprietary_zdrv.sfs", which would include all the proprietary drivers and firmware of a typical Puppy, explaining the possible consequences of this choice (spyware, security holes, and so on)
3) Once reached the desktop pop-up a warning sayng (more or less) "You are running proprietary drivers/firmware and your computer is at risk. Are you aware of that?" with two buttons, "More info" and "ok" and a thick "Don't show this again".
4) If the user clicks on "More info" point him to some information page and suggest him to email the customer service of the hardware vendor kindly requesting to publish the source code of their driver/firmware.
5) A script could gather the name of the hardware vendor and model for which no open source driver is available and prepare a standard email to be copy-pasted by the user.
2b) If no hardware need proprietary driver/firmware, boot right to the desktop.
I don't know if this is feasible and sensible, but user would not complain because their wireless cannot connect and it may generate some pressure on hardware vendors to publish open source drivers.
Anyway, good to see more libre spirit in the air .

Interesting idea. I think I'll add an annoying popup on X startup, which warns if you're not running Linux-libre.buti wrote:3) Once reached the desktop pop-up a warning sayng (more or less) "You are running proprietary drivers/firmware and your computer is at risk.

Hello.
I reviewed all the PPM settings, and it's happening again.
If anyone can tell me why trying to download a 20.5 Kb console
BoulderDash (pic 1) clone freezes PPM (pic 3) for 4 minutes, I'll be
quite grateful.
@Iguleder:
Can it be because your librepup.info site is not responding? (pic 2)
And its software list can not be updated or something?
Your edit of PPM was working so well until now...
Thanks in advance for any lead.

If you want an account on my VPS server just say the word. You can always use it as a backup - PPM should handle that. (But PPM will have to handle https too if certificates are screwed.)Iguleder wrote:Yes, it's down because the VPS company I chose is very unreliable. It's the second downtime in two weeks.

That's unfortunate, and I sympathize. But can this problem sort of freeze
the PPM? I mean: can having one of the repos down slow the whole PPM
to a crawl?
Best regards.

On both your pages, I get the page for a couple of seconds and then a
futuristic desert figure next to a 404 message, both in opera-12.16 and
in trisquel's most recent abrowser (aka firefox). Can the webmaster at
github fix this? Thanks in advance.
I quickly saw that the bug had to do with gettext ? Anyway...

I would suggest to boot a non-remastered puppy with "pfix=ram" and try again.
In general I think would be a good idea to check if a problem that you see, also exists with the original ISO before adding anything to the system and before you generate a savefile/folder. If not, then describe all the changes that you have made so one might find how the problem was generated.

I generally agree with the methodology you describe, except in this
case, I think that nobody can generate their own 404 error for any
website they visit. And assuming they could, why would they, if they
want to read the material?
It's not a problem with the librepup distro, I haven't remastered it.
it's a bug in the woof github website. If anyone else can validate,
please ring in. In this way you will be helping me and other Puppyists
interested in the woof process to squash this bug, or at least bring it to
the attention of the proper web site authority.
Thanks anyway, mavrothal. I'll notify the main github webmaster directly.
BFN.
