My primary use of vnc nowadays is to drive a old tower PC that boots Fatdog (live-DVD) connected to the large size (living room) TV (with reasonable external speakers). Fatdog comes with X11VNC Server and TigerVNC client (and SSH/SSL VNC Viewer/Terminal Server client alternatives) pre-installed (IIR...

Neat wiak!

Does it include supporting sound? (Suspect not and that sound has to be handled separately?)

Fraud : The crime of gaining money or financial benefits by a trick

Hi Ether. Note that there's a later thread for Fatdog 810 here - better to post there nowadays. Try opening Control Panel, System tab, double click the Manage Servers and Services icon, and there's a BC-wl item in that list that if you enable that to start at bootup and then reboot ... and see if th...

BT doesn't make anything ! BT (British Telecom) is predominately a pension fund, with a sideline Telco strapped on. As Treasury yields have declined so they've had to inject billions into the pension fund to cover liabilities. As/if/when yields rise back to positive real yields then so the liabilit...

I can highly recommend the multi-session save approach (that's more commonly associated with saving/loading from DVD's, but works just as well with HDD's). I boot a HDD version of that using grub4dos menu.lst entry that looks like title Fatdog 810 Beta root (hd0,0) kernel /FATDOG810/vmlinuz basesfs=...

Under UK law they are in breach of Human Rights (right to privacy ... disclosure of private facts). Lacking are prosecutions. But when they do start to flow one would hope parent companies (actions by subsidiaries) would be accounted in the penalties.

it never occurred to me that after bootup the storage source of that operating system could now be removed. Just for info Mike, I build/run the Linux kernel with KASLR enabled (believe that is the default since kernel 4.17 anyway) - which randomises where the kernel code executable base, stack poin...

I believe that ssh private keys are protected by a passphrase...although that could be brute forced by a rouge process on your computer. More usually your .ssh folder content would just be copied to a attackers system from where they'd use their own kit to crack the ssh keys password that then open...

So yes once a month when you do your payments use your Windows. And to be more secure even in a separate PC. The rest of the time enjoy the freedom of puppy. Beg to disagree. I wouldn't use a Windows system that had been used to browse here, there, anywhere and at any time in the past having perhap...

For a year or 2 or 3, Puppy didn't have any firewall configuration script installed. No one ever had a problem because of that. Unsurprising as most ISP routers have firewalls that have to be set to forward ports and as such serve as a barrier. Firewall on individual devices behind that firewall su...

In many distros, an unprivileged user has all of the powers that root has, using sudo. To become root, you (or anyone who has broken into the system) can become root just by typing "sudo su" I think you'll find that is wrong, unless poorly reconfigured to do so. If that were the case then...

To capture a flashing message with mtpaint screenshot needs major calculations :lol: Use the standard Print Screen method. You have to press it a second time to deactivate it, but once print screen has been pressed the cursor changes to a crosshair, move it to the start point (top left corner or wh...

I've never seen persistent popups that I need to close. In my case, when they occur, I see two different popups in sequence that automatically close. The first closes before the second one starts. Again, I guess that the second one activates during ntpd-boot (fetching time). Now that I want to capt...

Informative popups sometimes occur after booting to the gui as my wireless connects and (presumably) during ntpd-boot. The fact that they don't always occur suggests some kind of software glitch? Art I get that as well, but have done in earlier versions also. Popup saying something like network con...

For cross reference purposes, there's another post here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=1045950#1045950 that may be of interest. Based on Deniable Encryption .
