Running Gnome-Boxes in Puppy Linux

Has anybody successfully run Gnome-Boxes in Bionicpup64 or Sc64?? And if so, what extra dependencies were required? I have attempted this but struck issues, which seem to be related to missing dependencies. There is an error message on running the program regarding not being able to access underlyin...

I think you have covered quite a few bases.

BTW, I use Gnome Wavecleaner to clean up and split Vinyl recordings and it woks quite well - I recommend it to anybody looking to make digitization of LPs more efficient and effective.

I have often found that the wine .pets are unreliable in whether they will run properly. I now dont waste time trying. I find Portable Wine ( version "wine-portable-3.3_v.2.1" ) works EVERY TIME, although you have to run wine.sh <program.exe>, not wine <program.exe>. Another good thing abo...

Check if it is really installed: run "whereis anydesk" in the terminal (without quotes). "anydesk: /usr/bin/anydesk /usr/share/anydesk" should be produced. If so, try running "anydesk" in the terminal and see what, if any error messages are produced. As I recall, I I ru...

I have had issues with Wine from the PPM, and so I just use Portable Wine, even in a 64 bit Puppy (with 32 bit compatibility sfs). In fact you can have both Wines installed at the same time. Wine from PPM wine runs under a terminal command: wine <Windows_Program.exe> . Portable wine runs under wine....

Hi fjd, A long answer cut short. From my limited experience it is difficult to install more than one fully fledged OS on a usb, as the USB can only boot from one partition if there are several. I install MX-Linux on the USB which creates the EFI FAT32 boot partition, plus a fully installed MX-Linux ...

In relation to scanning, there is often a hplip-scan-xx.xx.xx.pet which needs to be added in. In older puppies this was hard to find and was archived ( eg tahrpup 6.05) . In more recent puppies it is in the PPM, if it is needed. I also believe that the Hplip needed to be installed first, then Hplip-...

I had the exact same issue about a month ago. I solved it by reinstalling the same HPLIP print (and scan? file - I think it was in the puppy package manager. This has happened to me before and I applied the same remedy. In any case I vaguely recall seeing updated HPLIP files on the HP website. Hope ...

Just for the heck of it I tried out the Stickpup installer in BionicPup64, which produced a bootable USB in next to no time, replete with Frugal files, EFI and GRUB config files of my chosen ISO, which was BionicPup64_8.0. One does need the original ISO image on file for installation. I believe Stic...

Skype works in LXPUPSC4

I loaded up the Skype sfs in LXPUPSC4 (19.09) running on my laptop.

Tested fine with audio and video on both ends, without requiring any tweaking.

An excellent result. I have been wanting to get Skype to work on Puppy Linux for quite some time.

Thank you so much !

Another suggestion

Hi pansive. Dont give up. Rufus is the simplest way to make a live USB, if thats what I think you are after. Download the portable RUFUS (3.9) version to Windows 10. Save to desktop, and run from there, by clicking on the .exe file. It may need to download some files in the process. Say YES to this....
