I forget. How do I set the time off the internet? If you want to sync once: ntpd -nqp pool.ntp.org If you want to sync continously ntpd -p pool.ntp.org "ntpd" is a busybox applet; if your busybox doesn't have it then you're SOL. (There are other, "full" version of ntp client but...

@Atle: 1. Quick-setup no longer runs automatically. You must launch it by clicking at the desktop icon, or from control panel. 2. Firefox: How do you install it, and how do you launch it? Unlike earlier Fatdogs, where "apulse" is installed in the system path, the 810 beta (and forward) hav...

For xf86 it's only the ABI 24 that matters. I have attached the Xorg.0.log which you can see is for xserver 1.20.3 and does successfully initialise amdgpu Yes, if there's not much change in the xorg-server then it can work. Forgot the xorg-server hasn't had a major update in the past year. We'll re...

What are the systemd dependencies? I see the udev has been incorporated into the systmd sourcecode/project [1] but from the following link: https://packages.debian.org/sid/udev there doesn't appear to be any obvious systemd dependencies.

@stemsee, libQt5XmlPatterns.so.5 is included in qt-creator-qt5-4.7.2, which can be installed via package manager. It's huge (80+ MB), and you won't need all of it for sure. You could extract just the modules you need. Or install the full qt5-5.11.1 SFS (using SFS manager). Or install the full qt5-5...

I resurrected this thread to ask a question - is puppy using systemd? Absolutely NOT. I ask due to some recent commits in woof-ce from December 13, 2019 that reference systemd-udev The official name of "udev" is "systemd-udev", even though it does not really depends on systemd. ...

I think we haven't compiled that one yet. Maybe someone here in the forum will listen to your request and provide a contributed package. Alternatively, what I usually do is I use youtube-dl and watch the video using vlc (or ffplay-gtk - which works very well in Fatdog too). It's not as automated and...

Best way to do this is just to start a new forum (with updated stack); and mark the old (=this) forum as read-only. No migration effort needed, no risk of obscure data corruption due to migration failure, etc. Redirect /puppy to the new forum; and add a link in the new forum to the old forum. Easy p...

Actually I did this: [ "$1" = "wait" ] && shift && read -p "About to configure network, press Enter to continue ..." p 2>&1 I moved process_net all the way just before bbhook/bbshell is run. This way, all the other stuff that might needs the USB (mer...

I would personally prefer dumb-init as it is a bit more featureful without adding a lot more code or complexity.

@rufwoof: - Make kexec static available in the repo OK. - Revise init to move process_network down to below bbhook/bbshell (in the current TIP), renaming bbhook/bbshell to bbpreearlynet - Add another bbhook/bbshell (bbpostearlynet) immediately after process_network Counter-proposal: 1. process_net s...

chapchap70 - I pushed php 7.3.12 incorporating all of your build flags. I also pushed hiawatha 10.10. I don't use banshee so I don't know if it works; and I don't have time to test it; but it's there if you want to experiment.

Good luck.

There are no .pk3 files there. The page says the download size is 1.1GB, but if you click the download link, it only offers to download about 90MB - which are just the engines (for Windows, Linux, and macos I think).
