Hello ttuuxxx One feature of the Intel quad core SoC is poor single threaded performance. I'm using a Celeron N3150 mini-itx board with 19V DC input. While MPV works well on it, VLC won't because it puts too much into one thread which chokes at 100% I think the single thread performance also affect...

I was thinking of the Pi4 but I've been following reviews and it looks like you need a fan now because it runs hot, I'm really looking for fanless this time round, Plus it has some USB issues, What I'm thinking is that I'll wait 6 months or so and then someone will figure out the how to make it fan...

Hmmm... not bad, but Gigabyte offers this at Newegg. Comparable and a bit cheaper. Video is intel UHD-600. The Wifi and ethernet are stated as intel. EDIT: note the Realtek ALC255 audio. The Internal microphone IS NOT connected to the chip, resulting in NUMEROUS bug reports. None of the "bugs&...

How about the fanless, silent and ultra cheap raspberry pi 4? ... our tiny puppi ARM for RPi 4 needs you ... 8) We welcome all the ARM compiling and testing know how available to puppykind :D In the UK I would get a Punch or Zoostorm probably cheapest ryzen processor 8gig mem from ebuyer if going t...

I don't think I'll ever use anything else than a laptop in future but they are still a bit expensive compared to desktops/boxes. Never had much luck with laptops, I drink a lot of coffee and ruined a few with liquids, Also they have fans that get dirty and heat-up and are a pain to clean. I liked t...

Ok I've been using desktops mostly and the one I'm using freezes a lot so I'm thinking of buying a cheap low power fanless PC, I really don't like fans anyways, they are always clogging up, I'm thinking of this one its its like $200 USD its x86 64bit, LPDDR4 8GB Ram, 128 GB SSD, On paper it looks go...

Actually just started compiling the latest GCC 8.3.0 the compiler in this version of Linux is missing some commands compared to the latest.
But that will be all for tonight, I have to watch the latest Star Trek and Orville now. lol

On another note, people have different ways of getting Apulse to work, I came up with my own method, Basically you copy the Apulse.sh file as /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser then add the location of the firefox bin in the end so it looks like this. #!/bin/sh APULSEPATH="/usr/lib/apulse" LD_L...

Didn't this thread have two pages? Not ok, ttuuxxx, not ok. Actually 3 pages, But we went from a alpha release to a beta release in one release hence the cleanup of the post. But I'm not done yet, I'm thinking about rebuilding the backend and updating it, so basically going back to Alpha and moving...

It took me a while to get it to boot, initially had issue where couldn't find puppy_slacko)5.7.sfs. After getting that issue sorted, I couldn't get wifi to work. My laptop is about 3 years old with Intel 7265 wifi PCIe card. When I checked dmesg there was no details relating to wifi, so it would ap...

Ok I deleted the first attempt and cleaned up the post relating to it since it was clearly a alpha release and this one is a beta, saves making a whole new thread over just 1 release :) updated firefox 66 added libatomic upgrade to openssl-1.0.2r Installed and configured apulse added gtk+3-3.4.4 PPM...

@ ttuuxxx:- Actually, I'm in Sailor's 5.7.1 at the moment; the 'upgrade' he did on the 'classic' 5.7.0. Hang about. You say you're in 5.7? Wasn't that the no-PAE version Micko put together, built off 5.7.0? Now, my 5.7.0 has the 'classic' package manager, which allows downloads-only, if that's what...

@ ttuuxxx:- And possibly update the puppy package manage, the one in 5 series doesn't allow you to download the packages just install them, which downloading them is also handy. You can, actually. You need to change 'Options' under 'Settings'. Click on Settings (the crossed spanner/screwdriver thin...

Hi guys yesterday I started compiling on 5.7 so it should work on 5.7.2 I made a version of Gimp 2.4.7,, It took a lot work but its worth it :) personally I like it better than the latest its only 6MB and no extra deps, where as the one in Buster's repo is 110MB, I also made a really nice addon pet ...

Ok I looked at the repo for gimp and it was like 110MB, really??, Naaa I don't need to waste that sort of space/memory on gimp, Plus I don't like the latest ones where you have to export image files, I like just saving them as they are. So I went back to my favourite series of gimp 2.4 series and w...

Thanks for reminding me greengeek the .so files weren't copied to the freetype either so I deleted the one on the server and reuploaded it fixed. So anyone who downloaded freetype package I made delete it and redownload it I'm going to have to check every time now.

Ok I went to compile inkscape lite because its usually in puppy and isn't in this one , and when it was compiling I had 2 errors one was it couldn't find the freetype config file, I looked and it wasn't there, So I recompiled the freetype that comes with Buster and looked in the folder and it wasn't...
