Fred, don't know if you saw it, but this looks like a dog question.

connect android phone to Bionic Dog

I've recently revived my old Asus 1001px netbook by installing BionicDog and it seems to work as expected. The only thing I can miss is connect my android phone. Is there a way to do as in other puppies ?

I have done this long ago using MTP but alas forget the details. It was flaky back then but probably fine nowadays. Biggest problem when googling this is the provided 'answers' tend to expect you to have full gnome desktop or similar, which really isn't necessary. Maybe the following link will help (tho maybe its a bit old):

I've managed to connect my phone using camphonetab. So for now BionicDog fits the netbook very well. I want to transfer the casper folder with changes to to another laptop which has grub2. Are there any instructions on what one have to put into Grub2 to boot bionicdog without installing grub4dos?

The following is just an example extract from grub.cfg of what I use for booting using grub2 from the second partition of my harddrive (/dev/sda2). For this example I have casper directory installed inside /bionicdog64 directory of that /dev/sda2 partition:
Code: Select all
menuentry 'BionicDog64 on /dev/sda2' {
set root='hd0,msdos2'
linux /bionicdog64/casper/vmlinuz from=/bionicdog64/ noauto changes=EXIT:/bionicdog64/casper
initrd /bionicdog64/casper/initrd1.xz
}

Thanks wiak for answering, btw, I could never understand what means the "msdos2" at the "set root=..."
Anyway, this should work also with grub2 for sda2 (similar as grub4dos, but with the difference that for grub4dos it should be (hd0,1) for the second partition (sda2), confusing....
)

hi Fred
Can you help. I cannot get right click working in BionicDog. It's frustrating.
On fatdog the workaround is to use the wacom driver instead of udev, this detects two touch events, with custom rules. But it doesn't work for me.
cheers
stemsee
edit: this works after installing mousetweaks
Code: Select all
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.a11y.mouse secondary-click-enabled "true"

I'm using the cinnamon version by ETP, I have no problems using Wifi-TrayNet, the builtin Gnome-Network-Manager is very good regardless.
Cinnamon is a bit buggy for touchscreen use sometimes, crashes and logsout of X. Sometimes requires forced shutdown, but overall it's really useable.
Blueman cannot connect to phone or headset. I will replace bluez5 with bluez4.

https://getpublii.com/
Create beautiful websites
Perfect HTML CMS for blogs, portfolios and company websites. Publii allows to you build, modify and manage an unlimited number of sites from the same app with instant switching; no databases or other credentials to remember. No coding or HTML required.
So, very excited to try this...I downloaded deb package of static site generator Publii (an electron app) onto my BionicDog64 system and it seemed to install fine. I ran it by:
Code: Select all
cd /opt/Publii
./Publii --no-sandbox
It started up without issue. I clicked top right X to close it and restarted it; all fine. Then I did a save2flash and rebooted and tried starting it again but wouldn't start (big error message). I did an apt purge publii, and re-installed it and all fine again (until save2flash and reboot, which causes it not to work again...). Very sad. It's a very interesting static site creator, but I can't find out why it stops working on save2flash followed by reboot...
Help! Any ideas???
