Puli 32/64 bit

[gjuhasz]

Dear Puli users,

Happy New Year!

I am proud to announce the new, 64-bit Puli 7.2.

The main files are available at http://smokey01.com/gjuhasz/Puli-7.2_Jan2020/.

Installation instructions and detailed description of the new version can be found at http://smokey01.com/gjuhasz/readme-720.html and on the first page of this forum thread.

The latest Pulis are mirrored and many external 32/64 bit packages are regularly updated in the shared folder structure at

https://sourceforge.net/projects/puppys ... iles/Puli/.

Changes include a more flexible postXload feature:

- postXload is configurable from the smartload files
- the .sfs packages can be postXloaded

The new version contains updated references and bug fixes, too.

See the first page of this thread for details of Puli features and usage.

You can track the evolution of the Puli versions by browsing this forum thread and/or by comparing the readme files at http://www.smokey01.com/gjuhasz.


Have fun!

Regards,

Dear Puli users,

A Puli specific OpenOffice-417_64hup.sfs is downloadable from:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/puppys ... /packages/

You can see the current version of other office suites there, too:

- LibreOffice-6.3.4_64hu.sfs
- softmaker18-973_64hup.sfs

Tested with Puli 7.2 but probably run with many other puplets.

Have fun!

Dear Puli users,

I received a couple of questions in a PM:

(1) Is there any way to change the security profile without file-browsing into the USB-Stick?
(2) Can the security profile still be changed without restarting-x or rebooting?

I created a small pet package that swithces between different security profiles. Compatible with the latest 32-bit (v6.0.2) and 64-bit (v7.1 and v7.2) Pulis. See attached.

After installed, you will see three options in the right-click -> Setup menu:

- Switch to Mild
- Switch to Rigorous
- Switch to Crazy

Be careful: select the profile that best matches with the environment and the visited site(s).

Have fun!

Regards

Based on the inspirations of Mike Walsh at

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=117835,

I played with Cliqz browser in Puli 7.2, and I really like it. Cliqz is nice and fast.

The "factory default" .deb file can be smartloaded and runs well without any hiccup.

Have fun!

Dear Puli users,

Good news: WebGL support returned in the new Chrome 80 version. Tested with Puli 7.2.
I expect that Iron, Slimjet and other Chromium based ones will be updated soon.
Smartload the officlal google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb file and visit http://madebyevan.com/webgl-water/

Please don't forget to configure your environment according to your best interest, i.e., what to share or report while browsing.

Have fun!

Dear Puli users,

Nowadays, many of us, including our children and their teachers are working from home due to the COVID-19 related restrictions.
Based on the discussions with some stakeholders, I created a 64-bit Puli educational version (HU only), tailored from the on-horizon Puli 7.3

See in the folder

https://sourceforge.net/projects/puppys ... 3_Apr2020/

and in the forum thread at

https://skamilinux.hu/phpBB3/viewtopic. ... 8852#p8852

Announcement of 7.3 with new features and more details are expected here in a couple of months.

Take care and have fun!

Best regards,

Dear Puli users,

I found a couple of bugs in the just announced (Apr 24) educational version:

* An ancient SNS bug returned. (Fixed the same way as I did in the earlier Pulis.)
* Obsolete router info raised difficulties in recognizing the user's valid data. (Purged.)

You can find the updated install material at

https://sourceforge.net/projects/puppys ... 3_Apr2020/.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Take care and have fun!

Best regards,

Dear Puli users,

I released the final 7.3 educational package:

* New team collaboration links added.

* Firefox updated to version 76.0.1

* LibreOffice downloader "pulified", old bug fixed

You can find the updated install material at

https://sourceforge.net/projects/puppys ... 3_Apr2020/.

The general-purpose flavor of Puli 7.3 will appear in the same SourceForge repository soon.

In addition, I tested the latest version of many applications. See them at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/puppys ... /packages/ folder.

Take care and have fun!

Best regards,

Hello.

I want to try but LinuxLive USB Creator does not see the downloaded archive.

Also, I am a bit worried about it: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/6ec ... /detection

Hello Puli.

I am very interested in this Puppy but I can't seem to get it installed. I have no windows machine so I can't use the tools you point to in your first post.
I have tried several Linux Image writing tools to no avail (yet).

I keep getting messages like "no frugal install files found at sdb'x'" or "no boot records written to sdb'x' ".

Really want to run this distro but been trying to get it to run for almost 2 days now. Any help would be appreciated.

Yours truly,
Appreciated Help

[bullpup]

Thanks for that! Before I get to it, since puli comes in .zip format (not ISO) will this actually work?

Gonna try it anyway..........want to learn some new stuff

You're gonna go with which, 32 or 64? The most current?

Most current, 64 bit. Just did the whole thing, getting a black screen with some letters for about a 10th of a sec and it shuts down. From what I could see probably a "grub" message.

Will give it another shot.

Gimme a sec..

Gotta give me a few.. I'm still trying to work out Gjuhasz's instructions..

No hurry. Also still figuring out why and what.

Hey BP, sorry, I'm gonna pass. There's more here than I care to involve myself with.

No worries. Will give it a fresh start tomorrow.

Too bad though, this distro has some promising features. Should be easier to install imho.

[Semme]

I knew (with a little help from my friends) I'd get it. Convoluted 4 shore, but I got it. I don't think I've ever had to jump through the hoops I did with any other Pup install, but, by George, I GOT IT!

I'll add it's NOT for beginners, @ least, not in my opinion.

Tell me, is there anything wrong with Bionic64? Is it not easy enough to use? I don't know.. Maybe you're coming off Windows and still overly paranoid? If you plan on banking and whatnot, just make sure your browser of choice is current.

Besides, you'll get timely support running one of Pups mainstream builds.
