Hi guys and gals, I've just had LOADS of *fun* trying to install VirtualBox...and finally got it working not too long ago...so i just went to create a new Virtual Machine (XP machine) and received an error saying it would overflow the disc due to insufficient space or similar wording. I changed the ...

Rhadon, THANK YOU!!! You mentioned in your post that all i required was the three pet files...and as i had only uninstalled VirtualBox,leaving the other two still installed, i decided to reboot and try to run the installation again...and it WORKS!!! My next step is creating the virtual machine, and ...

ok...well i have uninstalled the .deb package and have now downloaded a .pet file as suggested in the following thread: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=47128 i have also installed the libSDL.pet as well as the xorg_xorg_dri_7.3-1 pet, and also devx_430.sfs and kernel_src-2.6.30-5-patche...

Do a search for the binary file for virtual box and try to open it in a terminal, this should show you why it won't open. I had it installed but did not do it using a .deb package, it ran windoze fine except for a couple of things I had to work around. when i tried to open it via a console, it spat...

To boot different versions using Grub you need to have them installed on different partitions so you will need two partitions. You could split your linux partition and use them. Why do you have a 6.5G swap partition. It might be better if you could provide some info on your machine CPU, RAM and mai...

If the only thing you wish to use is CS4 have you looked at the open source alternatives such as Gimpshop 2.2.11. http://www.osalt.com/gimpshop Thanks for the suggestion Ian, however gimpshop on it's own will not be sufficient as the entire CS4 package is required for the type of work my partner do...

Thanks for the suggestion Ian, I'll have to discuss this with my partner, as he will be the main person using the laptop, though as he will be using it as a work machine, we are kind of hoping to keep it as a single installation, as this was the main reason we decided to get rid of windows and have ...

Thanks Ian, I'll give that a shot...i am currently on the XP machine (which i am not allowed to convert to linux yet- have to prove to other half that we can run his CS4 stuff on linux BEFORE i am allowed to scrapo this one ) so i will take a looky at it shortly, and post what results i get from the...

Hello! This issue, is most likely "simple" to solve....but, it is doing my head in. I am hoping someone can help me solve this issue (please be kind, i'm still new-ish to coding and linux LOL) I am running Puppy 4.31 on a very old Acer Laptop and have a full installation (recently upgraded...

Hello Everyone!! It has been some time since my last post on this forum, and i am happy to say that i have been plodding along nicely with no problems, or at least no problems that i was unable to solve myself :lol: .....until now... :? Basically, i was running a frugal install on my rather old dino...

1. " still no go,it came back with an authentication error " Try using the link I gave to go to the original thread, and use the links provided there. What is an "authentication error"? To answer your question regarding an authentication error, basically, it means that the serve...

Does Opera have a menu entry? Does it work? The message you read seems to be not critical. Have you edited the "Browse" button? It usually opens "default web browser" file, that you should edit and change it to execute Opera instead or Seamonkey. Thanks for your reply fernan, Op...

9Hi again, I have just installed Opera 9.23 w/flash from the pet package manager, and found that it comes up as installed in the package manager, and also shows in the menu, but, no matter what i try, it just will not open when i click on 'browse'. I just tried opening Opera via the rxvt terminal an...

harriman, i am not sure what issue you are dealing with, because i am finding it difficult to understand what you are saying. This thread is regarding an SMTP error, not a mouse/hardware error. Here are the points i do not understand: you say "this program" is not working, WHAT program is ...

could it be the driver at fault? if you have a current copy of your monitor drivers, or even the setup disc that you get with a new monitor, maybe you could try using the ndiswrapper with the windows driver to see if that helps? It may that the driver which puppy has selected as being the "best...

I don't really know if it is the best method out there for a backup, but, all i did was boot into Windows and copy the save file to another partition. I did this with my desktop previously, and when i found i had stuffed something up with a package install and had no clue how to fix, just went back ...

You are not a pain...there are some here but you are not one of them :D Ok slight error...... dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/pupswap.swp count=500000 bs=1k I forgot the ending. then mkswap /path/to/pupswap.swp then swapon /path/to/pupswap.swp to test it. I suspect the /path/to may need checking... If ...

I am distraught...that was not my quote :D hmm a list... making a swap partition if you have already space gets picked up by any linux from anywhere by the way).It will get picked up automatically....check with free in a terminal. dd if=/dev/zero of=/initrd/mnt/dev_save/pupswap.swp count=500000 mks...

1 (b) The CD made using the ISO file is only needed IF the PC is unable to boot USB. The CD is used to load the Puppy from the USB Flash Drive if the BIOS is unable. ok, good point, though my BIOS didn't have usb in the boot order itself, rather was under a different option. From memory, it was a s...

sylvander, Your first link goes directly to a login page, rather than a download file. Also, by using the program i've suggested, there is no need to create a cd first as it is all done within Windows, if the iso file has already been downloaded, it is a simple matter of choosing the iso, and the us...
