![]() ![]() Wolf-pup2.gz (1.52 KiB) Downloaded 39 times So I flinched their work to produce the attached “wolf-pup2” script. I don’t have either fred’s or Mike’s programming skills. This is why both fredx181 and MikeWalsh built their portables so that profiles (configurations, bookmarks, and addons) and cache would be written instead to the portable’s own folder.* Further complication arise as the contents of /root will be written to your SaveFile/Folder when you execute a Save and thus be copied back into RAM on boot-up. As cache from the web can increase in size rapidly, that can impact the responsiveness of your operating system, even resulting in system crash. Under frugal Puppys, your Home Folder is /root, and "/root is in RAM". But like (inherited from) firefox, AS-IS, those will store customizations and settings in your ‘Home Folder” and more significantly also write cache files there. Under Fossapup64 both the AppImage and the extracted folder ran OOTB, including the ability to play youtube videos with sound. You can then move the folder where ever you want. I chose Librewolf98 so as to keep track of what version I have. You can Right-Click that folder and from the pop-up menu select Rename. If you click it LibreWolf will start (if your OS supports it OOTB). With Rox as file-manager the above described folder is recognized as a ‘rox-app’. By default that will create, adjacent to the AppImage, itself, a folder bearing the name of the AppImage version but ending in “.extracted”. And it looks good when tweaked.Įxtract it, for example Right-Click and select UExtract. I use it for everything, a document viewer, a file browser, a web browser, a media player. I'm still not sure if Libre 'phones home' through Mozilla, because it works with their site. But, for me, I split a secondary screen and it opens to exactly the width I want, so that works. Everyone complains about Libre's lack of window position/size memory - yeah, that's pretty annoying. I like Libre, but I bounce back and forth between it and ungoogled chromium. I don't watch movies, or netflix, or any of that stuff, but everything plays quite well for me, like long youtube stuff. I never thought i would ever say this but google chrome is the best performer at the moment and google probably has me profiled anyway so if it works bloody leave it alone. There is a fundamental difference between actual malicious spyware and legitimate telemetry. I would assume most of the privacy achieved here can be done tweaking normal firefox. Go to a video site and the laptop attempts to take off.Bad reaction to my system i guess. I tried this on fossapup64.Not impressed frankly. In the directory where the new AppImage is located, open a terminal (rt-clk->Windows->Terminal here). Download the current version, and extract it to obtain the AppImage itself. ![]() This is the download location for the AppImages, which appears to be the sole package format these are released in. You, the user, can easily upgrade this yourself. I'm NOT going to be building this on a regular basis. ![]() Suffice it to say, it all runs very sweetly indeed. librewolf directory in /root.which at shutdown, is deleted again. Immediately prior to launch, everything that needs it is chowned to spot:spot permissions, EVEN the sym-linked. librewolf profile directory sits in /root (the user's $HOME directory, in Puppy's case). At first run, the sym-linked directory is populated with all the profile stuff, though in reality it's actually writing direct to the portable anyway. Instead of creating, and using, the profile directly within the portable itself, the profile directory is created inside the portable, and THEN it's sym-linked out to where the application expects to find it. I've employed the techniques I've been refining with my recent rash of 'portable' applications. And what you're effectively left with is a ROX-app. ![]()
