Here is a little more info regarding the Easy Buster 2.1.3 'Boot to Black Screen' problem described above. On initial attempts, in the boot process, I pressed 'Enter' to select a US keyboard. I then re-installed Easy 2.1.3 to the USB stick, and during boot entered '44' to select a US keyboard. In bo...

Barry K wrote Choose the boot option to bootup to commandline only, no X, then run "xorgwizard". You should get various choices. You should be able to try 'intel' and 'modesetting', worst case, 'vesa'. Hopefully one of those will work. Booting to the CLI as you suggested, I entered 'xorgw...

I am having difficulty booting (from USB stick) Buster 2.1.3 (had the same problem with 2.1.1). The boot-up messages and Easy icon are present, but give way to a black screen with a cursor that is movable with the mouse for about 20-30 seconds, but after that time the cursor is frozen in place. None...

Hey smokey01,

That is great info.

Such a wide selection.

One of the 48x48 icons was exactly the right size.

Thank you!

I have downloaded Thunderbird60.0 from mozilla and created a package for Fatdog64-721 which installed without problem I used a thunderbird.desktop file from an earlier version, setup run-as-spot, created /usr/bin symlink, etc, and everything seems to be working OK when clicking on 'thunderbird.deskt...

@dr. dan, Thank you for your prompt, informative and useful reply to my misadventure! I have zero knowledge and experience with screen, display organization and ROX-Filer/PuppyPin, so this was a good learning opportunity for me. Have you backed up your savefile? That's first! Other than changed wall...

My Fatdog64_710_final, running from a HD, has been stable for months, but today something crazy happened to the desktop. The boot process seems normal, but instead of the usual olive-green Fatdog64-700.jpg wallpaper, the background is white. Most of the icons are missing except for the drive icons i...

A couple of questions:

1) Does XenialDog64 allow browsing as a non-root user, such as spot in Puppy Linux or Fatdog64?

2) Does XenialDog64 boot in 'legacy' or UEFI mode?

Thank you.

Smokey01 said There should be a startup script in /etc/xdg/Startup called WpaGui. This starts the wpa_gui each time you boot Fatdog64-710 The startup script in my /etc/xdg/Startup was as you describe, but for some reason a WpaGui icon did not appear on the tray. I obviously must have clobberd someth...

@smokey01, I am still looking for the wpa_gui 'target' icon that is missing from the tray at the bottom of the screen. smokey01 said: @eowens2, Look in /etc/xdg/Startup It will work in /root/Startup as well. In my /etc/xdg/Startup, I have an executable WpaGui file with the contents #!/bin/dash . $BO...

I seem to have to lost the 'bullseye' widget in the tray beneath the screen, clicking on which leads one thru the wi-fi setup (fortunately my wi-fi is still connected).

I can't find it! How can I get it back?

I am having trouble getting Seamonkey up and going. Is anyone else having this trouble? In Quirky Xerus 8.1.6, ‘/usr/bin/seamonkey’ and ‘/usr/bin/seamonkey.bin‘ link to ‘/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/seamonkey/seamonkey’, which is not present in my copy of Quirky.

I concur with Feodorf. On my 11 inch laptop screen, the urxvt font size is so small as to be almost unreadable without magnification. It sure would be nice to increase the font size. Also, is the selection of "Run apps as spot" in "Quick Setup first run settings" sticky? When I r...

I am running Xerus 8.1.6 on an Asus laptop hard drive partition, and trying to get my Brother HL-2170W printer installed under CUPS. Brother does not provide 64-bit drivers for its printers, only 32-bit drivers, so the user has to 'create' a driver using some files Brother provides and 32-bit librar...

@Billtoo

THANKS! You rescued me from trying to re-invent the wheel!

I re-ran first-run settings, chose to run as spot, rewrote Default Applications Chooser for Browser, and suddenly running Chromium became a lot easier!

O.K. Here's what I found by forum member dancytron at http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=108132&start=94 in a discussion about Chromium on Quirky 8.1.4 for Raspberry pi 2 and 3. dancytron said: Try Code: /usr/bin/chromium-browser --no-sandbox or Code: /usr/bin/chromium-browser --user-d...
