I am still on Dpup stretch 7.5 CE (RC-4), the bcrypt preinstalled is not working. When try to encrypt file, it says "Encryption is disabled". Is the bcrypt broken? Further reading on Debian's bug report stated that bcrypt is not safe to use as the algorithm can be predicted. I posted here...

Test build of NetSurf-3.9 Package libgdk-pixbuf2.0-bin was needed and missing. Also a missing header gio.h This is supposed to be in the package libglib2.0-dev which according to the package lists is already installed, but maybe some files from it got lost. EDIT:- That header does seem to be presen...

The executable /usr/bin/xxd is required for compiling NetSurf browser. In DpupStretch 7.5 CE (RC-5) this file is a symlink to busybox, but this fails during the build because of an unrecognised option. In earlier distros, xxd was part of the vim-common package, but this is now separated out as a pa...

zagreb999 wrote:...can you add xfce4 desktop as sfs?

Hi zagreb999,

Currently, BusterPup provides the default JWM desktop, plus FbBox (fbpanel/openbox) as an optional environment.

For now, I have no plans (or sufficient time) to integrate a third desktop interface. Even so, thanks for your request.

hi radky, I converted from rc4 to rc5 the first part of August. I copied the rc5 files into a directory and then copied my rc4 save file into the directory. On the first run it did a save file conversion and everything seems to be working well. I have found that pupsnap now thinks that the keyboard...

Looks like GLib's pkg-config file does not match install location.

@charlie6 and wjaguar,

Thanks for the report!

I prefer to turn the touchpad off otherwise I am always hitting it while typing or navigating. @WiZard, Recent Pups rely increasingly on eudev for mangement of the keyboard, mouse and touchpad -- and our Woof-CE devs are currently adjusting the implementation of eudev in Puppy. For now, maybe Mochi...

PSI shows always the same current (MAX) speeds for both cores. FST shows always various current speeds (see screenshot). @puppy_apprentice, The code for assessing CPU 'core speed' is similar in PupSysInfo and wcpufreq (a.k.a CPU Frequency Scaling Tool). However, PupSysInfo also integrates the 'core...
