@ MrDuckGuy:- ... you think Zoom crashing in Google Chrome is due to your RAM ... not enough of it ... Mike. :wink: Yes. I think my hardware can accept twice the RAM I have now. According to Htop I'm now using "only" about 5.1GB of available memory, and my swap file is basically empty. I'...

I'm running Xenialpup64 7.5 on an Intel CORE I5 based computer with 8GB of RAM. We had a family meeting today for Mother's Day. The Zoom conference details were emailed to me. I ran the website version from Google Chrome, and it works but it kept crashing. I then tried to use both my landline teleph...

Any suggestion other than using the web version of SketchUP?

Thanks in advance.

I don't remember, but you've just replied to a post I made in the Spring of 2019.
I'm using 7.5 now, and VLC still won't work in the system, though.

@ MrDuckGuy:- ... I run most of the others, too; Flowblade; Shotcut; Cinelerra; KDEnlive, ... all have varying degrees of difficulty ...

I'm one of those people who disdain both 'LibreOffice' and 'Abiword'. If given a choice, I'll put up with Abiword, but OpenOffice (to me) is SO much better. Why doesn't Puppy agree with me?

I think I figured out a solution, at least temporarily. I had an old distribution of Puppy, Tahr6.0.6-k4.1.3.0-uefi-frugal with a kernal: Linux 4.1.30 (i686). Openshot runs here!! I just booted this up and openshot sure runs in the environment. The help screen shows it's version 1.4.3. Screenshot be...

@ MrDuckGuy, ... If all else fails: Create a new SaveFile. ... All my tests were done on a raw boot of Xenialpup64_7.5, so there was no savefile actually, and nothing was installed.

... a hint where to start ... I had this issue as well, and you may simply have a case of resetting the Retrovol control panel; Make sure the 'auto-mute' setting is disabled.

UPDATE: I created a new savefile in Xenialpup64, and attempted to duplicate the issue. I installed google-chrome from the exact same .deb package that was used in the original savefile system. It worked, which was what I expected, then I ran the update from Quickpet, I updated the PPM and rebooted ...

The dialogue box of the application mentions writing to the MBR.
See my screenshot below:
