I'm likeing Bionic a lot. A solid upgrade from Xenial. Very much enjoying the apps I usually install being one click away in the Quickpet settings. I was running some XFCE install scripts when about half way through I remembered I hadn't installed Scott's pkg manager, imagine my surprise that it's b...

Oh well this is a pleasant surprise. Thanks Phil! Looking forward to testing

Oh wow, this is so awesome Scott! Nice work man. I was just looking to install pkg for the features I've grown accustom to like installing from the command line or forcing a pet to install, but I see you've added a bunch of new awesome features too! Really looking forward to exploring the new guis (...

Thank you for the advice Marv, that's an easy upgrade path.

It appears I have returned to hibernation mode again. I'm sorry for that even though it can't be helped. I wish I could be a more regular puppian but I can't seem to do more than turn up every now and again.

Hey rodiontw, thanks for your kind words. I haven't been very motivated lately but I probably will keep the kernel updated down the track as newer hardware is released that requires new kernels.

Steve! No way, haven't seen you for ages mate!

Glad it worked well for you

Apologies I couldn't assist Mike, I'm glad Marv knew what the issue was. I appear to have lost momentum again so I'll just post the pet I was working on based on the earlier discussion back in December. Consider it a beta as I know I was working on it but I wasn't happy with something about it. It's...

Following this thread with interest, also curious to see mistfire's .xinitrc rewrite :) I wanted to give a go for a more universal .xinitrc for XFCE as currently I have to completely disable jwm/rox for XFCE to start. So hopefully if mistfire's does it all, there will be no need to reinvent the wheel.

Ohhhhhh

Thanks for that Peebee, that amends my understanding considerably. I was hoping it would be a lot more automated than that.

That's quite cool. I'm now another step closer.

I suppose what I'm trying to work out is how do I get Woof-CE to build a petbuild? Do I just use DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS-ubuntu-xenial:
Would that include the deb from the Ubuntu repository or would my petbuild recipe take precedence?

Nice Mike, thanks for the shoutout. If it doesn't affect the regular menu, I'll see about adding it to an updated pet, or maybe even the main iso, I know a lot of people like Whiskers. @all I've been thinking about updating this pet with the latest fixes from the iso, but I'm not sure if I should ke...

I only watched the first one, that was hilarious Bigpup

Thanks for that Bigpup, good to know it's not a Puppy only issue. I had a go brief go at some of their suggested solutions such as disabling adblock and had a look at tracking protection but adblock didn't seem to make a difference and tracking protection is already disabled. Will keep my eyes open ...

can anyone get this simple embedded 10 sec video (below) to play from Yahoo's main sport page, which shows Larry Nance Jr of the Los Angeles Lakers dunking over Kevin Durant of the Golden State Warriors (last night's game)??? https://sports.yahoo.com/larry-nance-jr-posterized-kevin-durant-lakers-be...

I've tried several different Android devices and none of them seem to work in MTP mode making it impossible to gain access to the internal storage. How are you trying to connect them? I have found that the "connect your android phone" thing under filesystem does nothing, but Pupcamera und...

Speaking of a year later...that's a really nice logo vovchik!

I'm definitely going to use that in a wallpaper sometime

These are for the apulse fix, or rather what comprises Oscar's apulse fix? And below is the user.js fix (that's in /usr/root/.mozilla/firefox/######.default/user.js) Yes and yes, Firefox will work with sound out of the box with this pet in regular Xenialpup. It probably won't work on Slacko though ...

Someone mentioned to me the multimedia keys weren't being picked up, I'll look into that Roy, and welcome to Puppy.

Puppy doesn't use apt-get, under the system menu there's the Puppy Package Manager, try installing btrfs from there.

That was an interesting read James, very clever. I've done that many times when playing around with glibc, making the whole system unusable but not wanting to lose all the work I'd done. I'm constantly fascinated by the innovations you and the Fatdog team come up with

That's not difficult Belham, I can put together the Firefox I have in Xenialpup64 and upload it if needed. All that's needed to run in XenialPup is just oscar's apulse and the custom user.js file. I'll post a link to the sfs once it's uploaded.
