I needed to move on with my project so I implemented a work around. After installing the new big 2TB Sata Drive I wanted to boot from it. That is, be able to store my SaveFiles on it and boot Puppy from it. But since the new Sata drive did not show up in the "Search List" at boot up, I jus...

Hello, This question has probably been answered somewhere here. Finding it for me is difficult to pinpoint. So, here goes. I boot Lucid 5.286 from a USB flash stick. I recently added a 2nd hard drive, formatted it ext2 and copied one of my LupuSave files to it. Then after rebooting the pc, when Luci...

It's getting to the point that I have to use my Windows computers to view Flash content. Puppy Linux, Lucid 5.286 is my everyday, go-to, computer for my all my daily tasks. I cannot view any Facebook video media. I have to use my Windows computer to view this content. Lots of other YouTube video con...

I thought this experience might offer some comic relief..... Today I used a Puppy App called PMirrorGet located under the menu item Internet. I was visiting this site: http://www.vonage-forum.com I was looking for and found some specific how-to instructions on home telephone wiring. So, cluelessly, ...

Just an update to my efforts to get this puppy to play YouTube videos. HTML5 is working great in my Palemoon browser. Flash has to be disabled. to do this. But there are sites I visit that require flash. I've discovered that by installing another browser, FireFox in my instance and having Flash inst...

This solution worked great.... Disabling FLASH was the key to my problem with FireFox not playing videos on YouTube. 8) I also use Pale Moon and implemented the same fix. Beautiful ! Thank you Big Pup for your help with this solution below: You can also try this: Firefox->Tools->Add-Ons->Get Add-Ons...

These are all very helpful replies.
I did implement the HTML5 option and it worked for a while.
But over time, my result vary.....

Thank you all for your views and replies.

More and more, recently, my Lucid Puppy Linux 5286 and the FireFox browser I have installed (updated to latest ver) is increasingly unable to play video and music from YouTube. If I want to watch a Hulu show, Flash crashes. I use my Windows 7 instead.... I hate to do that, but I do until I can find ...

Hello All, Does anyone know of any PETs for NEXT PVR for Puppy Linux ? Or any installation instructions or scripts for Puppy LInux ? I'm using Lucid 5.28 Amongst other things, NEXT PVR is used for watching live broadcast TV. I've got it running on two of my, ugh, Windows PC's, but my everyday goto P...

For a friend, unable to afford a new computer for her son, This week I was able to take her messed up Win XP laptop and install your upgraded 5.28x Puppy Distro. She is very happy and grateful for having a laptop fully able to enable her son to keep up with his homework with a fully functional lapto...

Well, I am about to answer my own question. After another determined Google search, I landed on a Mozilla help page that succinctly told me what to do. Here is that page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/install-flash-plugin-view-videos-animations-games Get the Adobe tarball here: https://get.ad...

Hello all, I'm learning that FlashPlayer is not working on Linux computers these days because Adobe has pulled support for Linux. Googling for any information to help me understand what is happening I am finding that I am not alone with this problem. I have google searched but have not found any sol...

I will try out your suggestion and use the Live CD. Those .PETs were the one I did find, but they did not work on my Lucid5286. Maybe I'm wrong, but It seems to me Chromium support is going away and focusing solely upon the Google Chrome browser. I also have a Slacko boot stick and will also try out...

I am using Lucid Puppy ver 5286 with a dated version of Chromium, Version 27.0.1421.0 custom (184274) And it doesn't "auto update" either so my only alternative to seek out a .PET on this forum. I get a nag alert each time I use it that this version is not supported anymore. Been ignoring ...

Been experimenting making different LupuSave files with Lucid 5.28.6 I I want to change into a different LupuSave file, I do a complete reboot of my computer, select the correct USB stick to boot from and then select the LupuSave file I want to experiment with. Picky question: I am using the same Pu...

Here is something to report on that System Tray oddity where it moved to the 2nd monitor. (After backing up my good working Lupsave file) and after trying out a different XorgWizard resolution and looking around inside the NVidia X-Server Setting app and finding no solution to the oddity.... I looke...

Enjoying the dual monitor setup. - a lot! Two oddities resulting: I did discover that my 'system tray' moved to the 2nd screen. Nope. Don't want that. I want it on my main monitor because I may want to use the pc without the 2nd monitor in some instances. I'm thinking the fix lies in Xorgwizard or i...

Finally got my Puppy Linux 5.286 to successfully load the correct NVidia Driver to give me a true Dual Monitor. Rebooted and the dual monitor and driver reloaded. Taking a break from it for while give the brain time to recover and resurge. Happy Dude now ! Thanks to the developer of Puppy Lucid 5.28...

I answered my own Question. Soon after submitting my question about breaking the cloud AppsStarter.Desktop, it hit me.... like a big D.U.H. !!! I needed to find the text file associated with the AppStarter executable. DUH... Text editor Geany has a menu item Recent Documents.... In there I found the...

Puppy LInux version 5.286 I was using the desktop applet called AppsStarter.Desktop located in \user\Share\Applications. The app allows you to customize your own Cloud Apps where it leads you to a location in a TEXT file where you type into a text file your own apps, urls. etc.... I must have overlo...
