how to add repositories in PPM
About PPM itself , mine works as it has to work, excepted the famous missing icons, an that is really ennoying..how can you do without them..
Missing in the menu, in the PPM.. Happy who can read the text beside, they can do without icon..
Menu can be translated in your native language, that can help barbarians to do whithout icons;but PPM is only official Linux description, which for most of barbarians does not mean anything.
Of course how to add repositories in PPM is of great interest for Ubuntu (now Debian) apps. Strecth PPM if far more featured tnan xenial one, but less than Xenialdog synaptic.
/etc/apt/sources.list to complete if you install synaptic
What we suggest is to Help Puppy Linux not be a vintage OS, just good for old fashioned process training, compared with Dogs and Live CDs.

Thanks sheldonisaac and the other guys for Support .

I write this because I want to really thank for this project. It's still a little unstable in my system (have to reinstall three times so far but I manage) but especially I want to thank for the Underdog feature.
At last! I was looking for that feature for some time now. I know it's a tool almost "vintage" but I'm relatively new to Puppy and when I realized its existence, in the versions I used since, that feature was a missing jewel, 'til now.
Thanks so much!

Nice : information on sourceforge ! Italian are coming to Puppy Linux..
Is you consider Europe, old Europe is 3500 downloads . Did they succeed install ArtfulPup ? Few speak English.. (excepted UK, of course)

In my previous post I inserted an EDIT... possibly it wasn't noticed?

EDIT: 11/26/2017 - Tried loading without the savefile (pfix=ram)... PPM works as it should so the problem appears to be related to my savefile and NOT Artful Pup 17.11+3 version... is there a way to get it back? or do I have to start over? (talking about ALL PPM entries here, they went south )

is there a way to get it back?

Hard to know without knowing whats been deleted....

In another system:

Compare the hidden directory /root/.packages in your savefolder with the same directory in the puppy.sfs in the .iso - are there any .wh (whiteout) files? If there are try deleting them from the savefolder....

Update +7 - ffconvert critical bug fix thanks to @radky

Hello peebee

I installed artfulpup 17.11 frugally on the ssd of an uefi 64bit computer. It boots. The 'trick' is to chainload grub2 from refind and to boot artfulpup then from grub2. Not all versions from grub2 can boot 32bit distro on a 64bit uefi. I found that the grub binaries from puppy/fatdog can, but not grub2 from fedora or clonezilla.

I just had to throw in iwlwifi-7265D-26.ucode and iwlwifi-7265-26.ucode for wifi. Probably just one of these is needed. SNS works alright and I have automatic connection on reboot with it.
Everything I tried works so far.

It is a lovely build you did again, peebee! Thanks! You are a wizard! Too bad support already ends in 2018.

Update +8 - openssl updates

[Marv]

+5, +6, +7, and +8 updates frugal Grub4Dos installed to i5 based laptop (US and De QWERTY keyboard layouts), core 2 duo laptops, and Bay Trail (J19000) desktop. All have run well, Bay Trail desktop being used as samba server. YASSM used to connect on clients. I continue to use the pcmanfm 'integration' from my 24 November post above on all the installs. No heavy multimedia use, Slimjet from SFS continues to be the browser used in all, sylpheed, mtpaint, geany, evince, gnumeric , pet and SFS creation, unsquashing and squashing FS etc. are the main uses. Not missing GVFS

Cheers,

Peebee... Question?

Are previous (installs/additions/fixes)'deltas' included in the last delta 8 or does each one have to be installed individually?

Thanks

Would anyone know if this snafu is affecting peebee's ArtfulPup?

BFN.

[mavrothal]

If someone looks at the actual bug report, is clear that the Ubuntu-17.10-bricks-some-Lenovo-laptops bug, does not affecet Artfulpup.
The problematic driver (intel_spi) does not even exist in the 4.9.x kernel artfulpup is using.

Ah. Many thanks, mavrothal, for reassuring us.
