I suspect that VLC does not work in Tazpuppy because it does not work in Slitaz.

VLC requires QT5. Slitaz does not support QT5. On the forum at Slitaz one of the users has stated that VLC can be used from the command line.

Works perfect with my old EeePC 901. Cool Thanks!

You are welcome! I am surprised to see a post on this old thread. I appreciate the update.

I made this in part to try out on my old Eeepc 901.

I found it necessary to reinstall Xenialpup 7.5 64 bit on my aging desktop today. I downloaded the printer drivers for my Canon TS-3122 pixma printer from Cannons website as I had done for the previous installation. Unfortunately I did not save a copy of the Candi tool. I need it to get a working in...

Thank you for this. Now running on dpup-stretch 7.5CE

I have downloaded and installed on Dpup-Stretch 7.5CE the Iron browser version 72 from the developers web site. I created a script in /usr/bin named iron. #!/bin/sh exec -a "$0" /usr/share/iron/chrome-wrapper --user-data-dir=/root/.config/iron --no-sandbox --disable-infobars --ppapi-flash-...

I installed this on UpupBB 18.0.5 +14 yesterday. It worked wonderfully at that time. I started the app today and it would not work. I started the program in lxterm. Initially there were no messages in the terminal window. After attempting to search subscriptions (I am logged in) this message display...

yes of course.
Those 2 icons dont keep the menu when right clicking. You need to keep the mouse button pressed.

Not so on my setup. I can release the mouse button and the context menu remains "up". I wonder why the difference between your experience and mine.

Hi ethplorer. User mikesir has provided a quite a bit of good information in the above post. It is worth reading through. Since I am running Chrome (and have run Chromium) on XenialPup 64 I thought that I would give you a couple of quick tips. If you installed the version of Chromium currently avail...

No, when you right click those icons, the menu doesnt stay up.
You need to keep the mouse right button pressed to keep the menu.

On my setup, right clicking icon results in pop up menu which does stay up until something is selected.

Also, how do I install and use new desktop icons? I installed faenza icons using petget but they do not show in my list of icons using the setup utility, even after rebooting.

I had forgotten about Fluxpup. It is an elegant if not dated solution for old hardware. I am posting from it now.
