Most everything I know about network access in Linux, and wireless networks in general, came from figuring out how to get Kismet working, and what it was telling me. I haven't messed with it in quite a while, but now that I've got a new (cheap Acer) laptop, I'll have to try it again. Thanks!

I'm in a situation almost exactly like the original poster. I've got an Acer Aspire 5532, and Win7 reports the resolution should be 1366x768. Like the OP, I specify 1360x764 (x24) in xorgwizard but it won't give me anything but 1024x768. In fact, the *only* way I get anything other than 1024x768 is ...

Help please!

Did you try running it from the command line?

love comments hate spam spam is pig meat . . . eh that means . . . gone! :) By "Gone", do you mean "I've made it gone", or "I wish I could make it gone"? 'Cause it's still there, at least at the moment. Gems like this: Fri, 05/01/2009 - 11:41 — ritesh Excellent work yo...

I was about to send a friend to puppylinux.org, but I saw that the front page is defaced by a dozen or more spam comments, all dated today (5/1). Why is the front page even enabled for comments? But hopefully you won't lose a convert -- I just gave them the direct link to the Downloads page instead....

I love this place. <3

I'll try it out next time my daughter lets me touch her prized posession -- I have to promise not to hack too much -- and I'll post the results here.

I booted up Puppy 4.1.2 on my daughter's graduation present, an Acer Aspire 5730, with no problems. Except, of course, that the built-in wireless doesn't work. It works fine under the built-in Windows Vista, but I'd like to be able to tell her that she could just use Puppy and ditch Vista. (OK, that...

I'm unable to download the java .pet. puppylinux.asia wants a login. I'll have to find the hard way again.

Ain't that the truth? The basic gameplay seems like something you could emulate on a TRS-80, but apparently it's not possible to scroll an arrow up the screen without 3d acceleration. :shock: I just tried to install Stepmania, but not to play it from my little ol' box. I just need to convert my down...

I've had success creating desktop shortcuts using this technique, which I'll try when I get home and download the Picasa sfs: * On a command line, use the "which" command: # which picasa /some/path/spec/picasa * Open a filer window to show the contents of the path. * Drag the picasa progra...

I don't know if it'll help, but Linux requires that you specify an executable script's path explicitly, if the proper voodoo has not been performed to make it available everywhere. And unlike DOS, that rule applies even if you're sitting in the directory where the script is! So if "gpsdrive&quo...

Do you mean you kept trying until you got a connection without "infinite upload", or did you find a way to make it quit failing in that particular way?

In any case, even after I connect (I even get an IP for interface ppp0!) I haven't been able to connect to anything on the remote network... Gonna take a look on the http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ site, and hope some light shines Regards That was the problem I had before I found the option to &...

Would you be able to post a .pup/.pet of the latest version , which seems to be 0.2.0.30 (stable)? I've been running a server node on an old PC, and couldn't figure out why it had stopped transmitting -- especially during the Olympics, when I figured there'd be more demand than ever for TOR nodes. F...

I tested the 2.6.21.7 driver in Puppy 4.00 and it worked fine with my Graphire 4. I had some trouble getting the event number right. My laptop only has one cramped usb port, so I almost always have a hub plugged in. My WiFi dongle doesn't even fit into the laptop's port, as a chunk of the case is i...

ok run cat /proc/bus/usb/device if wacom is not listed these drivers won't work for you... mike Well, it doesn't look very promising on that count: T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=01 Cnt=01 Dev#= 2 Spd=1.5 MxCh= 0 D: Ver= 1.10 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 8 #Cfgs= 1 P: Vendor=5543 ProdID=0005 R...

RobertB one to try is run 'depmod' in a terminal then try 'modprobe wacom' again..... lsmod will list all modules loaded....wacom and evdev should be in there. also running dmesg should show the module loading (or not) are you using this drive 'This is ONLY for the Puppy 4.00 that uses the 2.6.21.7...

My daughter, who has more artistic talent in her little finger than I do in my whole body, bought a tablet (from woot.com for $35). It's not a Wacom; it's a DigiPro USB 8x6 tablet (512 levels of pressure sensitivity), but the thread on another DigiPro refers back here. I'm on Puppy 2.17, and I have ...

The partitions never went away. The problem happened when I used the wrong tool to change the partition type back from Amoeba -- it changed the partition type and quick-formatted it as new. Then, I installed Grub without verifying the status of the partition, so the newly-formatted partition has not...

Like I said, the mbr , use testdisk and replace it with a generic one, [...] Should get the original fs back, worst way, rerun testdisk find lost files, after restoring mbr Aitch Sorry for the delay. I just tried using testdisk to replace the mbr, but that doesn't seem to have done any good. I can'...
