(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Thx Mike,
I suspected it.
Unfortunately there is no version of this application 64.
On quickpet ppm there is a slightly dated version; but even if I install it I can't get it to work.
Okay I'll try again.
thanks again Mike, for the always exhaustive explanations.

Thanks for taking that, Mike. It would have been beyond my knowledge!

Subito Piano,
Tried using it in Bionicpup64 8.0 with the bionicpup 32 compatibility sfs loaded.
Seems to be working.
Updated data base and did a virus scan.

Did everything you posted in your above postings.

ohh , good. Then I'll try it, hoping not to get tangled up

Just a quick reminder -- If you've customized your Puppy and saved it, it's often a good idea to try out software by booting Puppy into RAM rather than your pupsave file, i.e., start with the pfix=ram option. Not normally needed but in his case you are doing something a bit unuual, trying o get 32-bit software runnning in 64-bit. Call me overcautious, but i've been burned before...!
Better yet, make sure you have a backup of your pupsave file. Update that every now and then...and, well, you get the idea.

ohh thanks Subito Piano
they are good tips.

Now I say it big!
I remembered that I had a 32-bit old PC on which I installed Xenialpup32.
Now the question is a bit odd.
Being the two Pc A = 32 Xenial) and B = 64 (Bionic) in the Lan network; is there a way to have ClamAv run on A (32) to have the system B (64) checked as well?
I hope I explained myself well.
Who can advise me on this?
thank you

Try the tools under MENU>NETWORK -- I've not used them but maybe PcurlFTP will work.
NUTS!! Just yesterday I had the instructions on how to use ROX-filer to access shares -- I never used them so apparently I threw them out!
You might want to look at the pages Network Samba Share Rox App and this related page. A cursory downloading and trial didn't work for me but I've got to get moving....

BTW -- If you don't know how to use PeasyPort, try using port 80 and scan using the default IP range OR if you know the IP address of your other machine, then you can choose a range of ports to scan, say something outrageous like 1-500. Then hopefully you can find your other unit's files in ~/File-Sharing (i.e. the folder "File-Sharing" in your home folder) and direct Clam there to scan them.
I may be considerably "off" in my instructions, as I've not shared folders much if at all. If this doesn't help (and if nobody with more experience posts a better reply), then probably some digging around the 'net, esp. this forum, you should be able to figure out the ins and outs of file sharing on Puppy/Linux.

thanks for the tips Subito.
However I solved this way (in my opinion simpler):
I booted bionicpup32 on the 64bit PC and started Clamav - after replacing the gui as you suggested - and everything worked perfectly.

Right now I am checking all the files present and in a little while I will have the results that I hope will reassure.
Tks again Subito.
Post Scriptum
But I plan to try what you recommended in the previous post in order to give me some more experience.

Ah, MUCH simpler that way. Perhaps I misunderstood what you wanted.
While i was on this, i uploaded English translations of the ClamVTK audio files, since...well, as i recall, i earned a D+ in Spanish in high school...
...and college.
Anyway, to download the audio files, see my (edited) second post on page 2.

No, no Subito, you understood well what I meant, only that I thought I'd boot with bionicpup32 to detect any viruses.
Now, following your links, and I will try to understand how to use Samba.
I also tried to use an AppImage 'LANShare' but having downloaded it correctly, I can't get it started. LANShare seems an easy, easy application.
