Do you think newer programs will ever work in Lazy?

I don't know where Qmakespec is. Or how to change it...QMAKESPEC has not been set, so configuration cannot be deduced.
No, surely not. It depends on the kernel which is 2.6.33.2 in LazY Puppy. If you want to run newer programs and also want to have some comfort like LazY Puppy is offering, try the 3HD VSP Puppy. Its kernel is 2.6.37.6, some newer programs might run. LP2_Opensshot131.sfs for example does not work in 3HD VSP Puppy, because of the newer kernel.Gnuxo wrote:Do you think newer programs will ever work in Lazy?
I have tried different things using QT sfs files from pemasu and did get some of these things to work (after hours of testings). But this is surely because of my special version of LazY Puppy which has a lot of stuff excluded like the qt3, sqlite and other things.Gnuxo wrote:Can I ask for some help?
I'm not sure where to ask. I'm in Lazy Puppy and I am trying to compile the newest Qupzilla.
I loaded Pemasu's newest QT.dev.sfs
...I also loaded Devx.
But when I try Qmake I get this error.

No need to be scared.That all sounds interesting and scary at the same time.
So we won't be able to save anymore? How will we retain settings?
One then can just do a right-click on Files or Directories to mark them to be added to the Personal Data SFS and it will be saved at shut down (Option in Shutdown GUI).Without a save file, I won't have any saved settings for Firefox or other applications.
As far as I know Puppy did not have the save file in the beginning of Puppy Linux. The NEW save file in LazY Puppy 3 is the Personal Data SFS.Without a save file, Lazy puppy almost doesn't seem like a puppy anymore.
*Maybe because I haven't been around since the beginning*
This should never happen!And I don't want any of the other puppies in grub to be effected.
Usually I don't use other Puppies except for some testings when publishing programs for other puppies. So, there are two or three installed on my HD drive and whatever I've done in the past, it did never ever had any effect to any other OS on the HD drive.Have you thought about solutions to problems like that in the development of this?
Exactly.One thing I'm surprised about is that I've always thought that .sfs files were read only. For an .SFS to be an effective save medium, it would need to be written to.
What version of LazY Puppy are you using?I always wanted a way to choose when to save or not. It would have given me more control. In fact I brought that up in feature requests a while back and I was criticized for mentioning it.
People said that such an option wouldn't be user friendly for newbies.
I think it would be safe for newbies. It would make things idiot proof.
No.Though that means that after using 3.0 five or six times, there would five or six backup .sfs in the frugal directory.
Exactly.Or would there only be one .bak as the new backup would overwrite the last?
By now I've only tested with small files.I'd also like to know what effect the loading and unloading of the personal data .sfs has on performance. As you add more settings and programs, would the puppy slow down more then usual?

das neue Lazy Puppy ist wirklich beeindruckend im Live Betrieb.
Leider kopiert es bei der Installation keine Daten, also jedenfalls nicht in das LazyPuppy202 Verzeichnis, siehe Screenshot.
Partition war leer und mit ext3 formatiert.
Eine Idee? Ach ich habe die Updates installiert, die mir vorgeschlagen wurden.... 2 pets...
The user has "to tell" what files go into the Personal Data SFS by just doing a right-click on a file or directory. These files are now marked (which means to put into a list, there are different lists for files and directories). These lists are used to copy the files either into teh running OS or into the Personal Data SFS (when saving). If one wants to add files to the Personal Data SFS manually, he has to edit these lists as well to take effect.Gnuxo wrote:...Does this personal data .sfs record changes to the file system or just the home folder?
How does it know which settings or files go where?
I was under the impression that the personal data .sfs was just the home folder.
*I'm probably wrong.*

Yes, this should work from LazY Puppy 2.0.1 and up...Gnuxo wrote:That affects Lazy Puppy 2.0 users?
Thank you very much!Pelo wrote:Lazy Puppy is a jewel ! Nice, Rich, Safe ;
In my opinion the best one since Legacy OS mini.
What a pleasure to use it, i should spend hours and hours looking inside.
Ahhhh, NO.the last saviour wrote:Lieber Herr RSH;
Congratulation for your success with school computer. Smile
I believe the number of LazY student in Germany will markedly increase in the near future.
For the sake of addiction why not add some more games for them?
That's a surprise, because I have already used this. Can you explain please a little more, what doesn't work?the last saviour wrote:I've just found that MultiPup3.3 CD/DVD Creator doesn't work at all.
