(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hi,

I found some of the StartMenu->Desktop->DesktopConfiguration entries are not working when we click on it.

Any body has any solution?
Has anybody too found the same?

It would help if you would tell us which entries are not working for you. Its kinda hard for us to trouble shoot a problem when we dont know what it is.

Hi,

The very first entry "Accessibility" is not working.
Some others are too.

Is it because I have not added some of the sfs files at boot?

Actually I am not using some of the sfs files that came with mariner iso.

Hi All,

Is there a camera viewer app for this lighthouse pup?
I have to see my face in my builtin camera

I want to congratulate you on this superb puppy linux vesion. I am looking for a good generic base for my puppy linux idea. My idea was to create a puppy linux version and i had allot of help to create this first release called FOMpup.click here sadly as the person helping me do this is no longer able to help me. and i dont know how he achieved the tweaks he made. i am looking for a ne base i can build from myself. What i need is a small light base to work with, would like it to be able to run on many computers the idea of a nop puppy would be what i would like to start with. Linking to online stuff same as the current version of FOMpup and have the same or similar apps available. as you hav allot of good sfs files i believe LHP base would be great for this idea.

I like the way you have put together LHP and really like the 64 bit version.
what i would like to know is if the LHP64bit version using the 32 bit libs, what they do, do they

• allow LHP64 to run on a 32 bit computer
• or just to run 32bit applications

if LHP64 bit cant run on 32bit commuters then i would probably prefer to use the 32 bit base and build from there.

i would start with the non mariner base and add my tweaks, desktop images, help pages, etc and try to stick with the base apps as much as i can. then i would link to the sfs files you have for mariner.sfs / pet, other browsers, office suite, vlc etc liek comes on teh 64bit iso. and provide the update stuff.

i also like the fact lhp can load 40sfs files at bootup. which is why i would consider starting with a version. Does LHP64 have ability to load 40 sfs as well or is this unique to the 32bit version.

well what i am going to do atm is going to make a start with the 32 bit base and see how i go.

HiDeHo,

I haven't seen Tazoc on this forum for a little while and he said here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 595#600595
that he is not well.

You may have to wait for a response to your queries.

Hi @HiDeHo
You may have already found this out:

• You can run 32bit OSes on 64bit platforms.
• You can run 64bit OSes on 64bit platforms.
• You CANNOT run 64bit OSes on 32bit platforms

Most PCs since 2007 are 64bit, but, you should alway check the PC's literature to be sure. Further, you will get an error message at boot time should you attempt to start a Lighthouse64 CD/ISO on a 32bit PC or VM client.

Hope this helps

thanks i did realise what you aid. was wondering what teh 23 bit libs did. and as teh 32 bit version os lhpup is no longer maintained accoerding to the forum post click here what can peopel do on a 32 bit computer.

That's a very good complete 32bit verion built by TaZoC. After clompleting this,he wanted to try a build of a 64bit distro. This was named LighHouse64.

The 32bit versin and the 32bit software it contains continue to provide useful services. But, I would guess that some of the version of packages in the ISO have had updates.

But, there are still inquiries being answered on the forum in that version of LightHouse. And should you have any problems using that verion and you post on that thread, I would guess it will be answered by someone.

It behaves, operates, and updates similar to all PUPs. You should expect carefree use.

Hope this helps.

I have tried the various debian packages on the dropbox page as well as the instructions for installing it from the terminal. Anyone have it working in a way that my beginners brain can follow. Thanks so much.

tazoc , how are you feeling these days? I hope your fast recovery.

NEWS:
Test release: grub4dos-0.4.4.v1.7.9, works with/on Lighthouse 64:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 118#624118

If anyone has an update on how Tazoc's doing, it would be nice to know.

Finally got virtual box working on Lighthouse64... Not sure what I finally set right or I'd post it.

Great EarthRAY.

Should you figure out what was done, feel free to post here.

I have been running my LH64 Mariner of which I have ONLY booted once in Januarry after a save-session. This, too, is a LIve Media environment via a DVD. It is rock solid and it rocks!

Here to help

When you have internet, it is simple to install and run vbox.
Otherwise, it is bit harder.

Srinivas

I guess I was trying to select the version from the install list, which ought to have been the x86linux version, but the self-install tool wanted the amd64linux version. That makes no sense to me because my processor is Intel 64bit dual core... not amd... but maybe the chipsets also come into play. It could be my rig can use intel or amd, and something in the chipset makes the amd64linux version more compatible/preferable to VirtualBox.

That's just a guess, but whatever, it's working...

I started playing with it a little by sticking a copy of SnowPuppy on a virtual disk.

I think I understand what confused you.

In the computer industry, some of the jargon IS confusing.

But, should you ever see "amd64..." or "intel64" or "x86-64" or similar references in a filename or article, it simply is implying 64bit computers. Those names for programs are a developers attempt to let you know that it is designed specifically for 64bit Operating Systems(OS) running on 64bit PCs. Thus, it is NOT specific to AMD or to Intel.

Hope this helps

I might post some questions about VirtualBox on Lighthouse, but I'm not sure if I should start a new thread dealing with VB specifically, or post here where people may have the exact same setup going as I do... On Lighthouse64. The latter seems to make sense to me.

Please advise.

Thanks.

I understand. Either way, your contribution will spur interest and guidance.

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know how Tazoc is doing? It sure would be nice to know.
