Not sure if this helps though because it has two click buttons either side of the touchpad. Yes, a touchpad with separate physical buttons is a different animal than a ClickPad, which is itself a button, and has no other buttons. Certainly, for those who like using touchpad taps, enabling a tap to ...

You're welcome.

Thanks for providing the info from Xorg.0.log. It shows that your new machine has what is called a "ClickPad" -- a touchpad that can be clicked instead of separate buttons. The ClickPad has only one physical button, but since it can sense where your finger is, it can translate a click into...

metallica5456,

Hi. Sorry not to respond sooner. I've not logged-in for a couple of months.

Anyway, I'm glad to read that you got it working. Belatedly, welcome to the forum.

Yes, I think we are getting close. It looks like the file is there, but is empty (the zero before the date is the file size). This command should make a new file with the correct contents: gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders > /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders Then you can verify that that worked by trying this ...

OK, so the problem is with the icons, but not the text. That narrows it down some. Possibly the cache file for the gdk pixbuf loaders or the link that points to that file has been damaged. First, the file. What output do you get for this command?: ls -l /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders (Note that you...

irwxrwxrwx 1 root root 2 Aug 2 2013 (then directory command u suggested) OK, I'm assuming that the first character there is actully a lower case L ('l), not a lower case I ('i'), and that you also see "-> /lib" and "-> /usr/lib", respectivally, at the end of the output line. If ...

Richard, After not logging-on to the forum for a couple of weeks, I was pleased to visit this week and see that you have released lupu-5.2.8.6-20140321. I have downloaded it, am using it now, and am quite happy with what I see. I know that the process of fixing bugs, testing and generally maintainin...

Since you have the same symptoms described in this thread, it is appropriate for you to post your question here, so no apology is necessary. Probably your problem is similar, and may also be related to the /lib/i386-linux-gnu and /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu links discussed in this thread. So first, let'...

What flavor and version of Puppy are you using? The problem discussed in this thread was the result of bugs in early versions of Precise Puppy 5.4, including 5.4.2. It was fixed in December 2012, so Precise Puppy 5.4.3 and newer do not have this bug. If you are using an earlier version of Precise, t...

You're welcome. Glad it worked with your script.

Thanks, amigo, for pointing us in the right direction.

You are almost there. The at command doesn't pass DISPLAY to the job. So you need to pass it directly to the command you want to run, not the at command. So your command becomes: at 17:20 <<< "DISPLAY=:0.0 xmessage testing & play hello.wav" (Although unrelated to the problem, note that...

Hi oceanblue, Sorry for the delay. I've not had time to login here for a couple of weeks. First, unmount the NTFS partition. Then look at the same place where you would normally look for files in the partition. For instance, if the partition is /dev/sda5 you would normally look in the /mnt/sda5 dire...

Whoops. Double post. Sorry.

The output means that your system does use the snd_intel8x0 module, so preventing the /etc/init.d/10alsa script from attempting to remove it at shutdown may help you, as it did forum members step and yin. Or it may not. But there is a chance. If you would like to try, here are my suggestions: Make a...

You're welcome.

Is there a code change like option 1 that would be permanent?? (Which is what I thought bigpup was referencing). The post referenced by bigpup related to a bug that causes the modprobe utility to hang when attempting to remove the snd_intel8x0 module. So the first thing to do is see if your hardwar...

[EDIT, 13:54 UTC] Before editing /etc/hosts, save the output from these commands for a clue as to what went wrong: ls -l /etc/hosts ls -lc /etc/hosts [/EDIT] The error message that you found in /var/log/messages indicates that you probably don't have an entry for 127.0.0.1 in your /etc/hosts file. I...
