How does one get right-clicking working, and how does one get 32-Bit programs working? Windows 32-Bit work (mostly) by way of PlayOnLinux, but LINUX-Linux...no. Not even "Micron" and that little "Lemmings" game, which does work even on Puppy Linux 5.2.5 Lucid on the ancient Pentium 3 Sony VAIO.

Through sheer persistence and with help from here I've managed to come a`ways with the ASUS' Bionic Beaver Linux (as always it's a chimera "throwaway" ASUS). However- and I've noticed this is often a problem with both Linux and Puppy Linux- on the ASUS' touchpad right-clicking does not work...

Actually, quite a bit has been accomplished so far- thanks to everyone here for the tips! Oh- using the USB trick for temporarily installing Puppy Linux 6.3.0 Slacko (in this case) does work on the Ubuntu ASUS. PlayOnLinux/WINE has problems with certain games such as "Puzzle Puppers" but...

Got DOSBox running, but dragging game files to it does not work- I have to type in the usual sequence of commands.

Now, is there a particular way one must have a Run.sh file to get 32-Bit Linux programs running, or unlike Windows does a 64-Bit Linux distro need some special preparation?

Update: It took quite a bit of tinkering and stumbling around but I have managed to get the VLC Player running, and the default player. In the "Apps" window there are two VLC icons, and nothing has deleted the one that calls up the player that does not work. But now videos can be viewed. More...

Bionic Beaver. Again, it's on a "throwaway" ASUS chimera, with no valuable info on it. The games are in folders simply copied over from a USB stick. I know in Android you have to do something to "activate" things so they are not invisible, unlike Windows and Puppy Linux, so what does one do...

The games part might apply to apps in general? I want to know why the VLC player, installed from the VLC website, fires up but will not play anything. Does it have to be "activated" in some way? Also- the terminal window disavows the presence of the game files, saying not found, even though...

How do you do that? Note that the games are simply copied over from a USB stick, and they do run with Puppy Linux Slacko 6.3.0 merely by clicking on them.

I installed the VLC Player from their website. It will not play anything, although it does fire up. All I get is an error message telling me to check the log. I have several Linux apps- games- in a folder. They include IPP Lemmings and the Linux version of "Micron." If I use the terminal it...

So far no change. The battery is okay.

I've tried, unless I'm doing something wrong here it isn't working.

Mine is 2012. Should the battery be removed?

I'd sooner trust Puppy Linux 6 than Windows. The fact I refuse to go on Facebook or do any finances online also vastly improves my online security. When buying a Steam game I use gift cards. There's also nothing on my computer I'm worried about. I tried hooking up the HDMI cable to a...

Windows "security" is like their "tech help:" a bad joke.
