Mike, nicely done. You are singlehandly creating the biggest Opera fan club since "Madam Butterfly" or "Tosca". :) I took your point about "sudo" in the LAUNCH script, and rewrote it to test for the command in case a distro doesn't use it. I tested it in the latest FATD...

Mike, I've always been fond of the Opera browser and recently downloaded your file "Opera-portable.tar.gz" - your work on browsers is much appreciated and thank you. I installed it in "debiandog stretch" and all worked very nicely except for Netflix and Flash. In looking over the...

Here's the core part (snippet) of my /etc/rc.shutdown for saving (or not) I'm just maintaining a single 02changes.sfs now, and whenever save is selected that is renamed to changes.sfs.bak (renaming it to 02changes.sfs.bak and it will get loaded into ram if copy2ram is used at the next bootup !!!). ...

# Revision 2.0.5 Date: 04 Oct 2019 # YMD 20191003: implemented seaside's wait on bootpartition idea Thanks for the idea seaside, which I implemented only slightly differently: To get variable seek, simply do not enter ANY usbwait=NN grub kernel commandline parameter.

By the way, seaside, I came across a kernel command line parameter some time ago, rootwait, which sounded relevant but I forgot to look into it. I'm off to sleep now but maybe worth investigating its purpose. Probably I'll set things to not wait indefinitely though, but rather to have a give up tim...

In my experience, it seems there is a wait of usb device recognition anywhere from one-half second to twenty or more. Instead of having a "usbwait=15", what about a "variable speed" usb device loader.... Here's a modification to the "build_weedog_initramfs" "init&q...

LATEST RELEASES ARE: build_firstrib_rootfs_103.sh: Put sleep 1 on either side of "rm /usr/bin/xbps*.static" in the chroot part of void functions. Doing so in hope fixes issue forum member seaside had. Basically giving time to make sure installs being made in chroot by xbps static version ...

@seaside: On thinking further... If I understand you correctly the first xbps-install -Suy xbps-triggers base-files xbps code line in the chroot did work correctly for you? Two things maybe worth trying: 1. make a build with xbps-triggers and xbps removed from the above line of the script along wit...

Hello again seaside, I've now tried build from BionicPup32 also using: ./build_firstrib_rootfs_102.sh void rolling i386 and, per my immediately previous post, that also worked without any issues. I can only imagine, at this stage, that Void Repo must have been down or glitchy, under maintenance whe...

Fred,

Thanks, that was highly responsive of you......

(Especially good for the old Puppy dinosaurs, like me )

Fred, I really appreciate your kind and patient explanation covering what I should have read on the forum before jumping into and trying out "mklive-stretch" on a Puppy Precise 5.7.1. (I'm really late in coming into the "Deb-dog" dogpark party. :idea: ). So, I fired up my most re...

Fred, You have no idea how pleased I am that you checked - I thought my brain might have been severely damaged....... Watchdog, Thank you for sharing that solution (which I'm sure was not easy ..) UPDATE: Found the following solution # Remove all pulse libs in the "extralibs" dir (leave th...

Fred, Thanks for your ideas. I see that the "ff" script sets the pulse lib paths for Firefox in the "all-in-one" versions which I think "Apulse" does as well. Having tried various combinations of things (including running Apulse) and failed, I must be missing some step ...

ccaaee, I have a low powered Asus EEE box which I've used to stream Netflix for some time using Chromium which has now stopped working. Since I'm with you on keeping precise 5.7.1 on this machine, I thought if Firefox could be made to work instead, I'd try that. I've tried the Firefox Quantum versio...

Smithy,

Perhaps this script will work in the rox openwith... Cheers,

You might consider List - This would not be a dropdown, but would prevent the choice items from dropping below the window.

ITSMERSH, I think "stat" will give you everything you need. FN="/root/.bashrc" bytes_and_last_change="$(stat --printf="%s ""%z" "$FN" | cut -d " " -f1,2)" echo "$FN ""$bytes_and_last_change" /root/.bashrc 1245 ...
