I am running Puppy 5.7.0 I assume you are using Slacko 5.7 Firefox is built into it and really can not be removed unless you did a full install to a hard drive or SSD. Just not use it and forget it. All you can do is hide it by using the Remove Builtin packages. It will look like it is removed. The...

I think the usb got corrupted, so I formatted and reinstalled Puppy. I saved slacksave.2fs first and then copied it to the new installation, so I have not lost any data. Firefox continues to crash, so I installed Chrome and hope that that will stop the crashes. Is it possible to remove Firefox altog...

How do you run "FSCK". Cannot find anything like that in the apps menu.

Alex, any reason you chose to abandon your other thread ? My guess is Slacko doesn't like your hardware. I thought it came to the end without specific solution. Anyway, this seems a different problem. Previously, I just rebooted after the crash and it worked OK. This time rebooting just brings up t...

Hi, Guys, I am running Puppy 5.7.0 off a 8GB USB Stick and it just crashed and will not load. In the attachment is what appears on the monitor. This is the second time this has happened in the past two months. First time I just re-formated the stick and installed a new copy of Slacko, but that actio...

What version of Firefox? What are you doing in the browser when this happens? Computer specs? Make and model? Firefox is 17.0.11 and it crashes as I click on its icon on the monitor. Computer specs as below. Power Predator Tower System, AMD Athlon 64 4000+ X2 Dual Core Socket AM2, 1.44MB Floppy Dis...

Hi, I am running Puppy 5.7.0 off an USB drive and Firefox crashes at least once a day. It works again once I reboot, but all the work is lost. Is this a common problem and is there a way to correct the fault. For instance, is uninstalling firefox and installing chrome instead a possible solution? Ma...

The sub Stick is checked automatically every time I use it and then go into Windows. I tried to defrag. but the response was that it did not need it. Anyway, Puppy crashed and I could not recover the screen display, so I formatted the usb and re-installed Puppy. It works better now, but it is still ...

For our printer my router lets me assign a fixed ip to it which solves the problem...you might have that option. If your router and printer are never turned off that should also keep the ip ..saves ink too :) Perhaps the scanner software scans for the hardware..... cups does too for adding the prin...

Hi Guys, I am running Puppy 3.7.0 off an USB stick and I have a Epson Stylus Office BX535W printer/scanner which is connected via WiFi. The lpd address is 192.168.1.140:515PASSTHRU and the last line in epson2.config reads "net autodiscovery". For some unknown reason the lpd address changes...

Thank you bigpup and here is the list. The "slow" usb stick is on the top line. Alex # lsusb Bus 001 Device 002: ID 090c:1000 Feiya Technology Corp. Flash Drive Bus 001 Device 005: ID 1b8f:0305 MA LABS, Inc. Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 002:...

Just for a note..imap would mean th e profile would remain a few hundred k so simply having the same profile without sharing keeps space usage to a minimum since the server becomes your common source... assuming the non downloaded IMAP config is used...indeed its designed with this in mind. mike Mi...

they are both "proprietary" and I don't know where the retailer got them. Enter the following command unto a Terminal lsusb then press the ENTER key. and copy the output into your next post. That might help or might not help. Thank you. I got the list, but no means of copying it anywhere ...

Can you help? Yes. Follow the instructions in this post. , and also read the posts after this, Wow! That worked. I needed to keep emails on the USB stick, because the main purpose of running Puppy is to have a completely transportable OS that I could plug in and use on any computer. So I made a dir...

but they are identical in every other way. Same brand? Same format? What format? USB 2 or 3? Using the same computer USB port? Is the port a USB 2 or 3? Doing the exact same tasks while booted with them? What version of Slacko? I am not sure about the brand, Bigpup, because they are both "prop...

I use Thunderbird [TB] for emails, and I moved the TB profile out of the pupsave file to a location [/mnt/home/Mail] on the "Home" partition [sda5]. I am not skilled enough to do that. I found TB profile with <CTRL-H> whilst in /home and I moved it outside puppysave, but then TB would not...

Thank you for that Sylvander, but that would mean that anything I added in a session, like emails, would be lost on log off. However, I will test your method and thank you again for suggesting it.

Best regards,
Alex

I am running Puppy on 2 usb sticks created from the same ISO file on Windows. I used Rufus to create bootable usb sticks. One of the usb sticks is 4GB and the other 8GB, but they are identical in every other way. The larger USB stick (8GB) takes nearly 3 minutes to save to Slackosave and log off, wh...
