Hi Joe, long story short, I wanted to watch a dvd video on my laptop and neither gxine or vlc worked on Fedora 11 lxde spin, nor on the new lupo (puppy v501) so I tried your original slaxer pup and it worked! So I visted these forums and saw you had this cooking version which I downloaded and that w...

How to write a java programe to communicate with Serial Port, I am using FEDORA 8 Linux? I am using jdk1.6, I want to know how to write a programe to receive and send data by using java. I also want to know how to write a programe to take printout by using java. The topic of this thread is about du...

Thanks for the reply. I just looked in /usr/share/applications, /usr/local/ and /usr/local/bin and there's no pbiblx folder. I even had it show hidden files and folders, just in case. So while my 'fix' of creating a folder by the name it was looking for told me it installed -- it didn't really. :rol...

I dual-booted Puppy with Fedora 7 on this laptop for several months, doing something similar to what you're showing -- so long as that's the text from the /tmp/grub-text file? I'm also dual-booting Fedora 12 with CentOS 5.4 on a pc. When you install Puppy it gives you the option of adding text to an...

The error message I posted was from installing (or attempting to install) the .pet file, I'm sorry if I wasn't clear about that. After the first attempt I deleted the files and re-downloaded the pet. It did the same thing. Since the error message from the pet package manager mentioned the /.download...

I just downloaded the pet package, and went to install it and got the following message: There was an error expanding packages pbiblx-09-25-09.tar.gz Either the file is corrupted (I downloaded the pet file twice, just in case and deleted the previous expansion effort....), or has not expanded into i...

So you've installed libgio and you still don't get the tray icon? I guess I'll have to download an old version of Puppy and see what's up. It generates a new log file to /tmp/wpa_supplicant.log every time you restart wpa_supplicant or reboot. It does grow quickly though; I'll probably make the outp...

I installed it a couple of days ago, and it's working great.

Day after day, week after week, Puppy's unique feature causes FUD amongst incomers. How many times has this question been raised? Why won't those who are perfectly capable fix this nasty little glitch? Maybe series 1 did use a different kernel, but it always shut down properly on all chipsets. Ever...

I have an ibm thinkpad 600x, 256mb ram on which I just re-installed Slaxer Pup 4.12. It loads the b43 wireless module fine, but the network wizard never remembered my settings so I had to enable wireless every time I booted -- so I was happy to see this new pet package! Since I was doing a new insta...

I believe I read on some other forums that 4.31 wasn't a 'final release' -- you might want to try the official 4.3 release? I know on my ibm thinkpad 600x, I couldn't get wireless (broadcom 4318) working under 4.21 except using slaxer pup; but under 4.3 it worked just fine yesterday when I used it -...

I haven't been around for a few months, I decided to re-do my website with Drupal and that wasn't a Puppy sort of task. Then the power on my IBM Thinkpad 600x started acting flaky (which it still is...) so I broke down and got a new desktop computer (AMD triple core with 2gb ram and 250gb hard drive...

Someone else may have a specific remedy for your situation -- but if not then I'd suggest you try http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=41298 Slaxer-Pup. I and several others with IBM Thinkpad 600's had to use a boot option that disabled IRQ 10 and 11, and I also had a pcmcia wireless mod...

The only thing I would add to your partitioning plans is to also include space for a /swap partition for linux (ubuntu) to use. The rule of thumb is to make the swap partition 2x the amount of RAM, up to maybe 2gb of ram then you wouldn't need to increase the swap partition by much or by just 1x the...

r22d22, What version of Firefox are you using -- did you get it as a pet file or download it from the Mozilla site, or .... ? Also, what if any add-ons or extensions are you using? I have Slaxer Puppy 4.12 to which I added the Firefox 3.5 pet, and get onto gmail just fine. However -- there is/was a ...

One of my 'must-have' add-ons for FF is NoScript. I'm guessing that should provide protection against such an attack, unless the script came from a website you've 'allowed' ? Even on YouTube, I only grant permission temporarily, mainly because some blogs I visit tend to have too many videos. Of cour...

I downloaded the iso yesterday morning (about 30 or so hours ago, as I type this...) and ran the live CD. I have a IBM Thinkpad 600x with 256mb of ram, 20gb hard-drive, PIII 498mhz and 1024x768 (x24) lcd panel. Similar to Puppy 4.2.1, in order to get it past the part where it looks for puppy files o...

Hi Pooklaroux, I just went to facebook and the first update on my page was a youtube video (imagine that!) -- and it gave me an error message too; I also have just 256mb of RAM. It said something about trying to run Adobe Flash (high definition) on an unsupported system. I'd think it should just aut...

I think it may be some goofy puppy thing, and not an fstab thing; but I'm not sure. Here's what just happened to me; and I'm dual-booting Fedora 7 and Slaxer -Puppy 4.1.2; right now I'm on the Slaxer Pup. First, here's what's in my fstab: /dev/hda4 / ext3 defaults 0 1 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 no...

When I was using Seamonkey in Puppy 4.2.1 on my IBM TP 600x (256mb RAM) it crashed on a regular basis -- or snapped off as described above. I had other issues with Pup 4.2.1 so have since installed Slaxer-Pup (4.1.2?) and Firefox 3.5. FF has mostly been running fine though typing text (like this mes...
