I have to use a rentable laptop for a few more days and they have some heavier restrictions for the Widows OS built-in so I can't install certain apps I need. USB OSes work just fine. However, I cannot get Puppy Linux to not delete apps/files. How do I set Puppy Linux to retain all installed applications/settings/Files upon shutdown?

I'm using Puppy Linux:

Linux PuppyPC 4.9.163-lxpup-32-pae #1 SMP Thu Mar 14 15:41:19 GMT 2019 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

I'm trying to use spd-say tool with festival. The problem is I can use festival by itself using this command:

echo "Hello world" | festival --tts

but not the spd-say

spd-say "Hello world"

Whatever I do I get the same error:

Failed to connect to Speech Dispatcher:
Error: Can't connect to unix socket /root/.cache/speech-dispatcher/speechd.sock: No such file or directory. Autospawn: Autospawn failed. Speech Dispatcher refused to start with error code, stating this as a reason:

I don't have this file /root/.cache/speech-dispatcher/speechd.sock I can run festival server:

# festival --server
server    Sun Jul 21 15:18:09 2024 : Festival server started on port 1314

and when I try to use sdp-say I got this messages on server:

client(1) Sun Jul 21 15:19:32 2024 : accepted from localhost
client(1) Sun Jul 21 15:19:33 2024 : disconnected

As you can see it disconnects immediately. A while before there also was an error SIOD: unknown voice cmu_us_aew_cg but after reading [this question](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/573279/speech-dispatcher-voice-configuration-problems-with-festival) I solved the issue **Additional info:** I installed these packages: /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf:

LogLevel  5
LogDir  "/var/log/speech-dispatcher/"
DefaultVolume 100
AddModule "festival"     "sd_festival"  "festival.conf"
DefaultModule festival
Include "clients/*.conf"

/usr/share/speech-dispatcher/conf/speechd.conf:

LogLevel  3
LogDir  "stdout"
DefaultVolume 100
AddModule "festival"     "sd_festival"  "festival.conf"
DefaultModule festival
Include "clients/*.conf"

/usr/share/festival/voices/us/cmu_us_aew_cg/festvox/cmu_us_aew_cg.scm (at the end):

(proclaim_voice

   (description
    "This voice provides an American English male voice using a
     residual excited LPC diphone synthesis method.  It uses
     the CMU Lexicon pronunciations.  Prosodic phrasing is provided
     by a statistically trained model using part of speech and local
     distribution of breaks.  Intonation is provided by a CART tree
     predicting ToBI accents and an F0 contour generated from a model
     trained from natural speech.  The duration model is also trained
     from data using a CART tree.")))

When I type the reboot command in a console the screen goes dark, but keeps being turned on indefinitely. How to fix this?

I am new to working with linux specially when it comes to remastering. The company i am at has a need/requirement of developing and having the build of a java program in any linux. building the java program isn't a difficulty. But the OS is for me. I started in MX but its size is too big after snapshot. The company loads iso files through memdisk. i remastered a version of puppy linux but it does not load unless usb is attached. its looking for a file in usb while that is also in the iso. i cant even boot the original puppy linux that way. while both original and custom work when booted from usb. Any suggestions on what i can do? can i somehow make puppy iso work with memdisk or should i quit at it and find something else. It can be as simple as updating the grub but i dont know what or how to do it. What i mainly need is a light OS below 1GB packed a java program in an iso, so computers can be booted on it through lan along with other iso as per need. Any help or criticization is appreciated as i am stuck . EDIT:- image is booted through pxelinux. i did try to follow guide: http://sirlagz.net/2011/06/13/how-to-boot-puppy-5-2-5-over-pxe/ but still doesnt boot

I am using a CPU Board PCE-3029G2-00A1E from Advantech and I am facing an issue. Sometimes (not always) one of my ethernet controller is not detected by the system (not listed by lspci command). This card have 2 ethernet port and the one which is sometime not detected is always the same. Initially, I have faced this issue on QNX 6.5 SP1 system but I am able to reproduce it on a linux distro (puppy linux 9.5, I don't tested other linux distro.). The result of lspci | grep "Ethernet" (the missing one is 03:00.0):

00:1f.6 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (2) I219-V (rev 31)
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I211 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 03)

I specify that it seems to happen only if I do a cold boot. If the 2 ethernet controllers are detected, a reboot does not seem able to reveal the problem. Also, If the problem appears, a reboot seems to not be able to fix it.
Do you have any advice to help me to know if it's a problem due to hardware, driver or maybe such of initialization time?

I just read about Puppy Linux the other day. The latest release is called Tahrpup, and is partially built from Trusty Tahr (Ubuntu 14.04). So now I am curious, and I would like to install it on my laptop. **Is it possible to do this as a dual-boot installation?** Actually I guess it would be a treble-boot (or whatever the correct term is) because I already have Windows on here. (The laptop came with Windows pre-installed. I had Ubuntu installed in another partition, and I never never use Windows.) **How could I do this so that I will still use the grub from Ubuntu?** My laptop specs:
*Acer Aspire
3.2 GiB memory
AMD A6-1450 APU with Radeon HD Graphics × 4
Gallium 0.4 on AMD KABINI
64-bit OS
378.7 GB disk space

I want to sometimes use Linux, sometimes windows. I found out that, Puppy Linux is small, I can install it on a USB. But the problem is, if I click on my USB in the boot menu, I have to disable secure boot first. I found out, I will need a secure boot key. But I cant find it anywhere. Does anybody know where to get the Puppy Linux secure boot key? Thank you sm. (I dont want to keep secureboot turned off. Read more about my opinion here: [My opinion](https://superuser.com/questions/1762885/is-disabling-secureboot-that-bad "looks like somebody cares about my opinion :)")

How can I change the files of an appimage? I just want to replace the version of a program with another new one, the app that I need is the blender 2.79b version, and I only could find the blender 2.78c version appimage, in the appimages download site in bintray. They have the same file and folder structure so they can be replaced the files without any issue, but there is no such option to "decompress" an appimage file in fatdog64 800 which I currently use in live mode.

I have installed sshd on puppy linux. Can someone tell me how to start sshd on it?

I just installed puppy linux but the screen is literally burning my eyes. The Fn+Brightness key on my laptp doesn't work. I tried to go to setup and change the gamma but it just make the colors darker, the screen itself keeps being extremly bright so I think it's due to the backlight. How can I diminish the backlight or the thing that keeps the screen bright despite me lowering gamma ? **Edit:** in fact when I'm in command prompt mode (GUI closed) the screen is still very bright. Is there a way to fix that too ? **Edit:** I managed to add acpi_backlight=vendor in GRUB as you can find on the internet to fix this problem but this doesn't change anything. Pressing Fn+Arrow still doesn't work and changing the brightness file in acpi_video doesn't work either.

I've just installed bionicpup64-8.0-uefi.iso on VirtualBox. **Now there's something that's bothering me: the installation option is still there.** Please explain. :)

When I boot without the USB mounted I get this message even though the OS is installed in the hard drive: wee 0>find --set -root /grldr (0x80,0) wee 0> /grldr wee 13>

I'm having trouble trying to revive an old pre-built with Puppy Linux. The aforementioned pre-built is an Acer Aspire X3200 with the following specifications: - Athlon II X2 4400+ - 1.5Gb DDR2 - No storage - Nvidia GeForce 8200 See the idea is that this would be a media PC in the living room connected to the TV monitor via USB as I have no spare storage. Since it came with an Nvidia IGP of course all sorts of problem comes up: - At first booting would just end in black screen, a quick Google search and I found a suggestion to load fossapup without kernel modules settings, which worked (but graphics would only show up using that option). However, the display resolution maxed out at 1280x1024, which means it doesn't show full screen on the TV (32" Sharp Aquos), which is not preferable. - Turns out there is a legacy Nvidia 340.108 driver (that supports GeForce 8200) in the Puppy Package Manager (http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet_packages-fossa64/) . Trying to install the aforementioned package I would be greeted with a "No Swap" warning (possibly due to running via USB), so I decided to ignore the error and install it anyway. Everything went well, booting with kernel modules settings would work fine as the cursor is displayed. However the screen would just flicker frantically and nothing can be seen but the cursor. Rebooting without kernel modules would produce the same result and technically the distro is unusable. At this point I've given up for the day, though still curious: - Is the use of USB the culprit and will using an SSD work? The motherboard probably only have SATA II interface but I suppose it's still better than a spinning disk.

I'm in puppy linux (Tahr), installed Discord and tried to run it with

sudo discord

First the problem was that i didn't have the libnss3.so library. Installed it. Then I needed the libnssutil3.so library, installed it too. Now when I run:

sudo discord

I get:

/usr/share/discord/Discord: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnssutil3.so undefined symbol: PR_GetEnvSecure

I have difficulties of installing apps in puppy linux, I realise that apt-get, yum don't work in puppy linux, what is the correct command in puppy linux that is equivalent to apt-get or yum?

I'm using Puppy Linux and am trying to launch PuTTy in fullscreen from the command line. Are there any parameters for this? I am currenly doing putty - load mysession I am unable to choose a fullscreen option from PuTTy itself as the .pet file I used to install PuTTy is missing a few options, fullscreen included.

I want to install Telegram-messenger (latest version) on Puppy Linux. How to solve this question? Thank in advance !

I have just spent a few hours playing with Puppy linux, which has some very nice features, but there are some things about its approach to security (at least the default settings) that worry me: 1. It seems that the intended way to use it is to run everything as root 1. There is no password for root (by default-- of course I could add one) 1. There is no automated (or even a simple non-automated) way of getting security updates for packages, as far as I can tell. (I might have missed something.) I have always had drummed into my head the importance of having a complex password, of not browsing the internet as an admin/root user, and of keeping system software (and browser, and plugins) up to date with patches for the latest vulnerabilities. However, despite what looks to me like a recipe for disaster (outlined above), Puppy is popular enough to have a lot of spin-offs, so there must be scenarios in which the apparent lack of security is a non-issue. What are they?

Here are a few specs: 1. Windows 10 Pro 2. Slacko Puppy 6.3 3. 700 MB CD 4. 16 GB RAM 5. 2 TB HDD Currently, to do some testing, I am running Puppy Linux from a live CD and attempting to access the files on my mounted C drive. I am booting from restart - and not from shutdown - to avoid the fast-boot in Windows 10. However, although most files work fine in terms of renaming, deleting, etc., many files in C:\Windows (and everything in C:\Windows\system32) come up as caution symbols with the tool tip "Symbolic Link to Unsupported Reparse Point." I booted back into Windows to check said files and all are fine and aren't corrupted.

I want to create a cryptowallet on a USB stick. My idea was to find a pendrive Linux to install on a USB stick that I can carry around, put it into any (old) computer, boot and use the wallet. My requirements: - works on 32bit / boots on an old netbook (e.g. MSI Wind 100) - comes with a persistent, encrypted storage space - runs [Jaxx](https://jaxx.io/) - can be created on OSX or Xubuntu - optional: fits on a 1GB stick So far, I had some success with [PuppyLinux BionicPup32](http://puppylinux.com/download.html) . It matches nearly all the mentioned requirements, only that there is no storage partition in the shipped ISO. So what I did: - installed the [ISO](http://puppylinux.com/download.html) with [Etcher](https://www.balena.io/etcher/) , i.e. wrote the 278 image onto my 1GB stick. - then resized the partition to 300 MB - created an empty partition on the now free 700 MB - booted with the new stick - Puppylinux offered me to create a persistent storage on the 700 MB partition, encrypted with LUKS. Yay. - did what was offered - however, on next reboot the storage was not recognized – Puppylinux behaved as it was again a first boot What I am asking for now: - advice how to make Puppylinux recognize the persistent storage, or - an alternative solution matching my requirements (ideally a pendrive linux ISO that already comes with an additional storage partition)
