sshfs

#861 Post by rufwoof »

sshfs working well.

SD/MMC booted, X run by root in sh0 container (firefox quantum set to run under userid rover). sshfs mounted our family (OpenBSD) server and rox shows the files/folders fine, music files play (very) well.

Handy - as the 2GB SD only has 380MB remaining free space.

I downloaded an alpha version of Nightly, it has updated once already so could be it updates nightly.

The version of Nightly in the installed pet is out of date but auto update doesn't work, would be more convenient if it did I think.

Hi Billtoo,

Is this the link you downloaded the "latest" nightly from?

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/6 ... easenotes/

How do we "verify" this download? I cannot find the page that lists the sha256 or sha512 for "nightly" builds (I can find the SHAs for regular versions of Firefox, but....????



Thanks!


[Updated link: now looking for how to "verify" the Nightly downloads?? ]

@mmzcaxe

Code: Select all

dmesg
in console and look for something with 'wifi' in the output.
or do

Code: Select all

dmesg | grep wifi
to get less output.
You should find something about iwlwifi-6000 for your gc. Look what versions your init/kernel is looking for and go google it on the internet. You must find it in the repo's of debian or ubuntu for sure.
Just drop it then in /lib/firmware/ and restart.

I downloaded spacefm-1.0.6.tar.gz from
https://github.com/IgnorantGuru/spacefm/releases and compiled it with
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
--libdir=/usr/lib64 --disable-video-thumbnails

make -j6
new2dir make install

Then installed the pet.

It created a couple of entries in the Utility section of the menu.

It's another multi-pane file manager (up to 4), has drag and drop from one pane
to the other,launches video files with the default video player, etc.

I'm not posting a pet anywhere but the above worked for me okay.

Yooooooooo ! I am back, but slowly. :twisted:
EasyOS shows a black screen for me, I have an integrated radeon hdxxxx card and easy doesn't reckognize it.
I guess this is because some libLLVM is missing : same problem with older easy versions, missing llvm.

Hi,
firefox should really be the default browser, because it's the fastest with google chrome.
See this :

@linuxcbon

Speed is not the only criterion when choosing your browser. I NEVER use firefox anymore on Windows for example. Why, you ask? I have done memory use tests and Firefox is the biggest memory hog of the 10-12 browsers I tested. I didn't test chrome because I philosophically refuse to use a browser that Google tried to cram down my throat some years ago. I did however test a number of blink-based windows browsers (and in fact use one regularly). All used less memory than Firefox - even Vivaldi.

Because I only use Windows on my work computer where I have no choice, and because I have to use an even bigger memory hog for my job called Solid Works, memory is very much a major factor in my browser decision. I need all the memory I can get for Solid Works. Firefox is just not acceptable.

The best for memory on Windows that I found? K-Meleon (gecko), SeaMonkey (gecko), and Slimjet (blink). Slimjet is available for linux. K-Meleon is not.

Ironically, one of the best for memory on Windows is one of the worst for security - IE. (Note this was on Win 7 and I am aware that IE uses shared dll's with the OS).

Tell me how you test memory usage of different browsers in puppy linux.

Can you do the tests please and show them here with all the numbers and how to reproduce the tests , so we can test it too ?

Thanks in advance :)

I am lagging behind with reading the posts in this forum thread. Will catchup soon.

I have got Flatpaks to work in Easy, see these posts:

http://bkhome.org/news/201806/testing-f ... asyos.html

http://bkhome.org/news/201806/auto-gene ... -pair.html

I was thinking, along the top of the screen there is "petget" and "sfsget" icons. Maybe "petget" (which launches the PPM), could be replaced with "appget", which will be a GUI for installing (and updating) Flatpaks.

The PPM would still be available in the menu.

It would be convenient, as all the major apps are available as Flatpaks, and can easily be updated.

Re: browser memory usage.

The memory tests were done in windows, not linux.

I started windows (V7). I started the resource manager, which displays used RAM at the bottom of its window. I let the computer settle until RAM was not changing. I recorded that value and started a browser (each browser was initially set to open only to default start page with no add-ons). I again let the RAM value settle to where it was not changing. I then quit the browser and recorder the free ram after closing and settling.

I repeated this for each browser, then repeated again and loaded a representative set of windows that I would typically have open at work.

Then I compared the values of RAM. Interestingly enough none went back to the same value before starting and after closing. They probably started some windows service or library it required which was then left in RAM. Or they were just really bad at releasing memory.

Sample data (renderer in brackets): value is used memory increase

Firefox (Quantum v59)
initial start +388Mb, after quit +60Mb, with pages +1000Mb
Firefox (Gecko v58)
initial start +275Mb, after quit +11Mb, with pages +634Mb
SeaMonkey (Gecko)
initial start +104Mb, after quit +3Mb, with pages +275Mb
Slimjet (Blink)
initial start +79Mb, after quit +1Mb, with pages +364Mb

As you can see both Slimjet and SeaMonkey used less RAM with six pages loaded than Firefox Quantum did with only initial startup page.

Of course this all could be completely different on linux, or even on another Win 7 computer. These are specific to my computer and its setup. Comparing SeaMonkey and Firefox on Easy using top the ram usages were pretty comparable. That doesn't tell me how much free ram drops using one or the other though.

Not the most scientific of tests but something I could probably repeat in linux. Not in Easy though as number of browsers is limited. I could install others from source but I just don't have the time for that kind of investment. There are a couple that run as an appimage but they have a whole other set of overhead involved.

Re: Flatpaks

That sounds really interesting Barry. I'll have to look at what Flatpaks are all about.

An overview is here:

http://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/introduction.html

The main repo, with hundreds of apps:

https://flathub.org/home

This is a quick way of getting a complete app repo for Easy. Mostly it will make the PPM redundant, but not entirely.
