ozsouth wrote:@gyro - interesting - I do that manually - make desired changes, save as save file, open it & trim unnecessary files, save as adrv_x.sfs (because it loads last). Edit that .sfs for minor tweaks. Used the same adrv for ScPup64 19.04, 19.09, 20.01. It's why I've been playing with extra drv.sfs files.

I like what you have described here. I have just started testing Bionicpup64 and she's a beauty.

I plan to run without savefile and using adrv to hold my personalisations sounds the best way for me.

Although I want to avoid the savefile step. Planning to look at nic007's and other methods of creating personal sfs directly. That's how i used to do it in 32bit pups and hoping it will work here too.

Just used QWinFF media converter to change an .mpg file to an .mp4 file but QWinFF converter seems to lack control of the parameters that FFconvert used to have in the 32bit pups.

Is there any way to add extra variables to QWinFF converter? eg all it has control of is the resolution but I need to change codec (want divx instead of H264) and want control of frame rate. I need to do this in order to match output file with the requirements of the target device.
cheers!

Any other internet connection programs didn't work for me and the 3G modem.

Thank you for reporting your difficulties with puppy support for 3G modems. I consider myself to be responsible for maintaining that support.

Pupdial and Frisbee's "Telephone Networks" tab "Mobile Wireless" option should also work for you. Frisbee uses logic similar to that of Pgprs.

I would like to work with you to diagnose any problem with Pupdial or Frisbee, if you have the time for that.

Please tell me more about what goes wrong with either of those tools. To avoid highjacking this forum thread, please respond in the "Network Connect" thread, which starts here:

hi linuxcbon,

those links are needed for when those libs get installed as they don't install into the usual path. gimp for instance installs libblas & liblapack but will not work without those links.

the libvala link is for when the devx is installed

Bionicpup64 8.0, frugal install internal hard drive, using save folder.

Installed Frugalpup Installer v20 as a pet package.
It runs as version 20.

If I do a Quickpet->Info->Bionicpup updates
It gets changed back to Frugalpup Installer v11

Plus the Frugalpup menu entry is removed from menu->Setup

Stickpup and F2stickpup are in the menu, but they to turn back into v11.

I know there is a work around.
But shouldn't this work around be in the Quickpet Bionicpup updates

Thought I'd make this available. Although AppFinder can be installed via PPM, Ubuntu's version doesn't include the necessary files for it to handle the unique Menu Categories Puppy developed for use with its customary JWM window manager. http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 00#1058900

finally done this!

sorry bigpup

@666philb,
Thanks for including FrugalPup v20 in the updates.
The new update seems to work fine.

Even if you only want to use StickPup; StickPup inherits the much improved support for uefi booting from FrugalPup.

There's just one little thing; there are 4 files included that no-longer exist in FrugalPup v20:
'frugalpup-isoboot', 'grub2.tar.xz', 'grub4dos.tar.xz' and 'zilla-efi.tr.xz'.
These cause no harm, they are not used by v20 and are simply wasting space.

@bigpup, thanks.

666philb,

BionicPup64 with devx loaded
The DEV symlink /usr/lib/libcurl.so
(which is in the devx)
Needs to be a link to /usr/lib/libcurl.so.4.5.0
(which is the standard libcurl which links to openssl)
Currently it is a link to libcurl-nss.so which is linking to the nss flavour of libcurl which we don't want.

In a test compile of NetSurf-3.10 the build completes but the program fails to fetch things because of the above issue.

Also, the busybox symlink /usr/bin/xxd fails because of an unrecognised option so needs to be replaced with the real executable from the xxd package.

New DeaDBeeF added via QuickPet Updates, but it needs a few tweaks especially to the .desktop file. Also, add the package opusfile to system before compiling if you want opus support via dedicated plugin. Personally I have reservations about version 1.8.3 although it seems OK in Stretch so may be OK in Bionic. It is certainly problematic in Xenial and anything older. Some things load in Pause mode and then it all freezes when you try to initiate Play, so keep an eye on it. Never thought I would say this as I have been a DeaDBeeF fan for quite some time, but currently I prefer the latest Audacious.

thanks OscarTalks,

i've fixed the libcurl link, added ubuntus xxd and are now using your deadbeef 1.8.2 package.

cheers

Hi 666philp, I have problem detecting bluetooth in Toshiba satellite C50, bionicpup64 frugal install.

So "bluetoothctl" doesn't ID your device? To be specific, after following the instructions within Janky Bluetooth, correct?

I have a problem detecting bluetooth in Toshiba satellite C50, Bionicpup64.

hi Semme, bluetoothctl ID my device after following the instructions within Janky Bluetooth, but I can't send or receive files, and also the taskbar icon doesn't appear.

What's the goal.. To exchange files between your pc and (Android?) phone?

between my pc and Nokia N8 phone.
