(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

i thought that some Puppy Builders prevent their users to access Facebook on purpose.. I was wrong.. Only 60 years old are permitted.
Survey : Ubuntu users are around 30 years old, Puppy are seniors.
Midori 5.9 : yes i saw that.
Mistfire What is Your name on Facebook , ... Puppy Linux Users one ?

loading is new,, sfs pouring listed.. connection ethernet works , wifi no tested.. Midori is your question, tries coming.
You Tube and Facebook first access no trouble. Midori is considered as Chrome, and should be updated, tell us the machine.

virtual keyboard . Poland and hungary have Puppy linux team and;; a virtual keyboard Xvkbd 3.7. If nobody asking for, don't worry.. it is just to know that they exist, with couloured versions.

@hamoudoudou Im sorry my facebook account is not yet ready to tell at this moment.

Good to know on youtube and facebook. Does it play youtube videos on midori? Also I noticed that webkitgtk 1.10.2 full screen mode was disabled. I wonder if youtube on midori go full screen play. I compiled webkitgtk 1.11.5 full screen feature is back but it crashed on free facebook page which has no javascripts at all.

The dialog that you saw,was ircp tray it was IrDa applet for receiving files via Infrared

I wonder why the script starts even there is no irda found on your computer?

infrared well , in the future perhaps. You are wondering wy this GUI appears, frightening users, are you ?
Better to delete that.. Slim would deal with infrared and bluetooth when nobody get this working with any Puppy Linux, even big ones ?
PTape : Slim is exploring even tapes. I can check that.. For fun or nervous breakdown.. I got succes with transfer songs from old tapes with my Puppy Linux and Precord. Then i stop it. It is better to download again songs, from your preferred on line site as Music-bazaar,
Fullscreen You Tube with Midori : Seems unavailable.

@hamoudoudouou you can delete ircp if you want. Bluetooth in X-Slacko Slim works nicely.

Regarding full screen youtube I think full screen in webkitgtk 1.10.2 was disabled. I cant use version 1.11.5 because it crashes until someone here was able to edit the source code of webkitgtk to fix that crashing bug and compiled it.

Compiling webkitgtk was longer than to compile the kernel. Since 4.4 of X-Slacko Slim Im using my netbook with intel atom (2012 model) to compile a kernel (it tooks 4 hours) and webkitgtk (it tooks 6 hours). Unlike before that Im using a core2duo desktop in my workstation to create an X-Slacko Slim during breaktime but unfortunately my workplace is now closed down.

Im badly needed a more powerful laptop even old ones (2010 models) in order to shorten my compile time. But I have no such amount of money to purchase a more powerful laptop.

mistfire 'mytailor is rich' was the first lesson of English lessons by Assimil. Shoud be replaced by 'if i were a rich man, i would compile better' My laptops are old, i am used to them. But i am not a compiler.
Don't spend money just for us..
About Bluetooth, Do you mean than it plays wireless your equipment as head speakers ?
About pTape, big problem when recording is that tape recorder is noisy, you listen more at the 'wheels' on which tape run thant to the song with pRecord or Audacity
I never use fullscreen for videos from you tube. Quality is not enough. as I am just at 30 cm of the screen, i prefer to watch tiny play

@hamoudoudou Im not spending money for here. Im just playing my hobby.

Yes bluetooth speakers works on my X-Slacko Slim using PuppyBT just paired and connect. Set default audio to bluetooth. And set gnome-player audio to alsa. Then you are good to go.

File sending and receiving bluetooth also works just pair the BT devices first

pTape is use for saving files on a Tape Backups. It just a gui frontend for mt command

Hiya mistfire,
I have been running into some niggles with your latest version (April 02, 4.4r12) that I can't work out.
I'm using it with a testbed of other Puplets on a Rocky II RT686 Pentium 3 laptop - and thanks for your 'heads up' for your project that you posted on my thread.
What I have is everything (all other puppies) on an ext2-formatted partition, each of 30 or so Pupplets frugal-installed, grub4dos. All the savefiles are as normal unencrypted ext2 files - no folders. The strange behaviour with your Xslacko is that it can't find the previous savefile on boot (I've tried a few locations, in the home folder and in root, with different save files too).
When Xslacko boots up fresh, although it states that the screen setup is 1024 x 768 (correct) at 24-bit depth, the icons and screen font are degraded for the menus and toolbar and not legible. When the xorg wizard is used to re-select 24-bit, the icons and text are generated beautifully - just before the whole thing seizes up and can only be solved by a hard boot. In fact, even when you pick "change nothing" and reload xwin, the same lock-up behaviour occurs.
I've re-downloaded the iso, and will double-check the md5 for a complete reinstall - but I don't imagine that there could be any other explanation for this behaviour, could there?
Cheers

@puppyt

when puppy boots up completely. It creates a log file named puppyboot.log you can find that in /tmp. Can you please send the log file here?

Also when booting the puppy in pristine state go to /initrd/tmp put the contents in tarball and send it here to diagnose your problem.

I have not succeeded in making BT audio work on anything except my Android phone and W10 PC. Regardless what distro I use (Slacko/Tahr/Ubuntu) they all get confused. The BT speaker I use is a Harman Kardon GO+PLAY, a marvelous speaker with superb sound quality. But is enumerates as 2 devices. A headset (with mic) and a stereo speaker. And Linuxes simply cannot handle that. Of coarse I want to use the stereo speaker, who needs a mic. And best case a Linux distro works for few minutes on the speaker, and then autonomously starts to connect to the headset/mic. Or simply stops completely. And only a real power off can revive BT.
Tested on a Lenovo laptop, and a C720 chromebook running Linux (wiped chrome OS).
My ASUS EEEPC does offer BT, but there is no Linux driver for the weird WIFI/BT combo chipset of that netbook.

Maybe other speakers work fine.... but my speaker does not...

oops sorry mistfire - I missed your response from last week - thank you very much for your message and I'll get onto it later today after work,
Best Wishes!

mistfire,

I see quite a few files in /tmp. Can I delete them safely w/o damaging puppy?

@kuman it is advisable not to delete the files in /tmp. Those files will be automatically deleted upon shutdown

mistfire,

Do u know more about the Simple ADB tool or point me where I can find out more about it?

Thanks

Simple ADB Tool is just a simple GUI for Android Debug Bridge. Just google it to learn more.

I created a pupswap file on the usb stick. Can I copy it in /root to use it while running in RAM?

@kuman probably it will work.

New X-Slacko Slim iteration released

Changes:
* Linux 4.16 kernel (for meltdown and spectre mitigation, thanks smokey01)
* Mounted disk image now appears on thunar (might even work on pcmanfm)
* Headless mode (experimental, just put pfix=headless and it will mount the bootdrive as readonly, no persistence, also VNC server will be activated. Put scripts in /root/headless-apps which program want to start automatically before remastering it)

* VNC server is now included
* Some fixes

'@kuman probably it will work.'

It seems the pupswap reduces my RAM in /root a lot. I need to keep it above 400 Mb in order to avoid crashes often. I need to put it in /dev where my other 780 Mb of RAM is left. Is it gonna work?



Also I need to troubleshoot the sound (in uTube). What's the app in X-Slacko for it? Otherwise, I run the wizard.
