MX15 and Q4OS
So I got rid of Xubuntu (again) and I just installed MX-15, to get a small Debian experience without systemd (at this point I just blame everything, however irrationally, on systemd). Enjoying it so far. Very neat and clean. But anyway a friend has been interested in switching to Linux, but is a pre...

hi Deacon, grab minetest from here (click the 'any series' button and choose trusty, then 'filter') https://code.launchpad.net/~minetestdevs/+archive/ubuntu/daily-builds/+packages it was missing a few dependencies for me, but as you've already installed minetest it might work straight away. if not ...

Thanks-- I appreciate that. It does seem easier to do it that way (the original problem was solved; wife just went and found a workaround to install Ubuntu on son's computer.) That said, now my own curiosity is stoked, as I am getting a wee bit tired of using Xubuntu on my new machine but I am proba...

Re: works fine in DebianDog/MintPup
No problem in installing Minetest 0.4.14 and all its addon mods in either MintPup or DebianDog Jessie. My two kids have been using it for quite a while now: Used jessie backports for DDjessie: https://packages.debian.org/jessie-backports/minetest And the following site for MintPup, as far as I reca...

Minetest 0.4.14 Causing Pain
I've tried adding the sources to Minetest to TahrPup (and I'm pretty sure I've done them wrong), download 0.4.14 debfiles and the only thing I can get to work is 0.4.9 which is in PPM. (This makes it incompatible with most new mods. The only Puppy instructions were for Slacko and they have disappear...

I just realized Mike and 8Gee described this as a wired connection. And in looking at the original post I am not sure if this is: A) a straight wired connection, B) a wired connection to a wireless network, C) a wireless connection to a wired network, D) or straight wireless connection. Once we know...

Re: Lunch break!
Deacon: firewall is off. The "talk to me like I'm six" comes into play here; I learn quickly but I know very little of today's computing: ping settings? How do I change those, and what benefits might that have? Pinging just means sending a signal to the network to see if you connect, as t...

Eek. Just noticed I posted this in the wrong section. I was getting dressed while I typed that. If a mod or admin could move it, since I don't seem to have the permissions. Apologies. I know shutting off a firewall is anathema to a lot of folks, but that's the first thing I would do, and then see i...

Seamonkey 2.40 problem solved
I noticed when I put the latest version of my favorite browser (using the latest X-Slacko), one of the strangest things happened. It would ask if I wanted to make it a default browser for various things as it always does-- but the "OK" button would lock, meaning you hadn't selected the val...

Then there are all those $60 USD 1 GB USB sticks. One could purchase a multi port USB hub populated with their 1 GB sticks. Like analogy I used for 8 bit RAM by using memory stackers populated with 4 - 4k RAM cards so my PC RAM was increased to 16k RAM. If the equipment still functions properly, do...

As 14.1 doesn't have a 5.x copy, you'd have to build it. I *think* I managed this. EDIT: no, I didn't, as npm doesn't seem to operate outside the npm folder, I know nothing about git, and this is really too much as I'm just trying to try out a browser http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?...
