Solved (sort of). I get the same results when connecting the phone to a Windows 10 box. Either there no pictures stored on the phone or there is a problem with the phone's filesystem. A colleague at the local computer club ("Computer Pals for Seniors -the Hills") for other Sydney based Pup...

I have a Pixel 2 running Android 10 which has developed a serious fault. The phone will ring but there is nothing to swipe to answer the call. Everything else seems normal. I have not been able to find anything in the settings that might explain this behaviour and am, in desperation, considering a f...

Thanks, SFR
Appending savefile=ram:local solved the problem.

I have been happily running Fatdog64-810 for several months. The only minor annoyance was that the file system check on boot up was taking a long time. I recently replaced the hard drive with an SSD and reinstalled the system. The file system check on the new save folder was quite quick. I have also...

williams2 command did exactly what I was looking for.
I did not experiment further with the other suggestions.
Thanks for the replies.

On this box I am running a frugal installation of Fatdog64-800 with several savefiles in /mnt/home. They are: fd64saveJan.ext4 fd64saveKen.ext4 fd64saveKen.bak fd64saveLiz.ext4 fd64saveOriginal.ext4 When booting I am offered the choice of which of the five files to use. fd64saveKen.bak is a copy of ...

How I got it to work. 1) Open a terminal and change directory to /lib64 2)create a symbolic link ln -s ld-2.27.so ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3 3) close the terminal 4) Load the google-earth-2019.02.sfs ( I think you have already done this) 5) Navigate to /opt/google/earth/pro/ 6) Drag 'n Drop the google-earth...

I am surprised that this thread has gone on this long without anyone raising the use of the pronunciation of "often" as part of the plot in Gilbert & Sullivans "The Pirates of Penzance"

cheers,

On the box with built in NVIDIA graphics I had to compile an NVIDIA driver and add a symbolic link /lib64/ld-lsb-x86-64.so.3 -> ld-2.27.so I used the google earth 7.1.8 SFS that I made for my laptop. James' google-earth2019.02.sfs crashed on this computer but that may reflect on the capabilities of ...

AIUI journaling does nothing to correct corrupted files. It merely speeds up the file system check by indicating files which were not being written when the improper shutdown took place. An old rule of thumb said that a journal was worthwhile on filesystems bigger than 2 GB.

Hi James, I have returned home after a few days away. While away I experimented with a laptop and succeeded,with help, in getting google-earth 7.1.8.3036 running on that machine.(see: Forum index » Advanced Topics » Puppy Projects How to make Google-Earth SFS for Fatdog64-800b? _SOLVED_ ) This eveni...

I will mark this thread _SOLVED_. Adding the link as suggested by SFR fixed the problem so I did not investigate Step's solution.

I will now try James Bonds package on another computer.

Many thanks for responding.

Ken

I would like to have an SFS of Google-Earth compatible with Fatdog64-800b and not finding one have tried to make my own. So far have found and _EXTRACTED_ a pet from the Xenialpup64 repository and placed it in /mnt/home/ on this laptop. The result of the extraction was a 182M directory google-earth-...

Many thanks for your quick response Mike. I already had google-earth 7.1.8.3036 working in my "every day" puppy i.e. xenialpup647.5frugal so now I have to remove traces of my bungled attempts to install it in Fatdog64-800b then make a working sfs package from one of your pets. I will make ...

Either Google Earth Pro 7.3.x or 7.1.8.3036
Google Earth 7.1.8.3036 runs under xenialpup64 but i do not recall where I found it

Hints on how to roll my own would also be welcome.

Thanks for the pointers. I will now experiment further.

I see from DistroWatch (June 18th) that Devuan 2.0.0 ASCII has been released so I thought I would see if I could make a DevuanPup using Wiak's makepup script. My computer has 8 GB RAM and an AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core processor 64+ and a WDC WD10EZEX-00B Hard Drive. I have several frugally Puppies i...

Many thanks Bigpup that .pet did the trick

I have a Samsung NP-NC10 netbook with an Intel Atom CPU 2xIntel(R) Atom(TM) CPU N270 @ 1.6 GHz 2 GB RAM I have been running a frugal installation of tahrpup-6.0.5 but thought I would like to try xenialpup-7.5 Unfortunately I cannot get an internet connection by WiFi because the necessary driver does...

Many thanks mikesLr both your suggested packages worked.
Attempting to start the original googleearth_amd64_patched.sfs from a terminal produced the result shown in the attached file.
