For what it is worth, I had the same exact issue (even how the network manager found it the first time then never again), and here are links to my documentation of it and solution. The realtek driver included (rtl8192cu) in Racy 5.3 does not work. One has to get the updated driver for linux from the...

If this is truly what you love doing and you truly want this venture to be a success, and you can see yourself living and breathing this career, then yes it is worth giving it everything you've got, whatever that may be. If it's a half-assed project and you only wanted to do it because you thought i...

You pulled your poll down already? I think you just answered your own question in your original post with the poll. (The one about reacting too hastily and shooting yourself in your own foot, albeit I paraphrased a bit :P ) Give people time to see it, then to ponder it, then to offer a thought-out o...

I wouldn't assume newcomers don't have a willingness to adapt. Well some do. And they know it's going to be different. But my experience was this: Experienced linuxers are more than happy to help a newcomer with linux. That pretty much never is the problem. But my advice is to take someone at their ...

Hi, I am running Racy 5.3 but have just solved the exact same issue with the same dongle chipset (RTL8188CUS) and I'd bet the same version of the rtl8192cu driver was put in Racy as Saluki. I also have several I used on multiple computers so it was a high priority for myself as well. Take a look at ...

Love Racy. It's like a modern 431. A problem I had and solution: (frugal install) I use a wireless dongle with the rtl8188cus chip, which uses the rtl8192cu driver. However the rtl8192cu driver included in Racy would not connect. So following advice, I downloaded and installed the newest driver dire...

hi Gander22h, you're correctly assuming that sshfs needs to be compiled. As the tarball you're linking is a source-package and not a precompiled binary-package, tgz2pet won't help, as it only converts the tarball to a pet-package without compiling. You could try the attached pet, but i don't know i...

Gee, it's getting that way now that when I click the Truly off-topic conversations thread, I break out in a cold sweat......... :lol: As for censorship, I guess it depends in what part of the world you live and how liberal your views are. Here in Oz we are very liberal, lots of people are suprized ...

I'm going to jump in here and say the key words are: "over something minor". For that matter I'd go so far as to say "over something". What did he do that is illegal? Made a new account today and disagreed with you? I'm pretty sure you can't say spam because if you look at this t...

I really don't think you will see the area removed....it is there by design to allow unacceptable behavior to be accepted as it agrees with certain agendas. I respectfully disagree that behavior is limited to Off Topic. I also don't believe that an Off Topic section promotes or encourages it. I sta...

I think the forum should remove from now the "Off-Topic Area" because too many people are abusing it. Let's talk only about puppy here. Define "abusing it". I see people talking about what is going on in the world around them. Like it or not, this stuff happens. Sticking one's h...

Then nooby, I suggest you petition John to remove the "Truly off-topic conversations For stuff that really doesn't have ANYTHING to do with Puppy" section. Meanwhile, the issue of the original poster in THIS topic which is STILL allowed per forum section designation, still stands and as I ...

Supposedly the forum is to be run on the basis of free speech and common sense. "Stuff" is out there. Good and bad. One needs to see all sides and pieces of information to use their common sense in formulating an opinion. One cannot employ said common sense when at least one side of any is...

nooby wrote:Why on earth would be accept hate speech on the forum?

Good question yet there is plenty still here that is allowed to remain.

I guess the issue is as it always is...no transparency and no consistency. Cronyism?

I removed SHS's original post, and his repost in this thread, for two reasons: one, they contained links to websites which have nothing to do with Linux or Puppy and I won't allow this forum to be used to move those websites up in Google's search rankings or otherwise publicize them, and two, SHS's...

And the afk Freenode staffers are? That's working well. Everyone else in other channels seems to manage. *shrugs* As I've stated, the listed owners need to pass the baton on to people who are actually active on a regular basis. There ARE plenty who care and are available. It's not Freenode's job to ...

You miss the point.
"We" are so unable to handle 30-40 people, we need 5 Freenode staffers?
Really?

I am in 4 other IRC channels that vary from 15-20 up to hundreds and none of them have 5 Freenode staff members parked there.

Why are we not taking care of our own house?

1. I take great offense at people saying the people in IRC don't care. Just because they are a different group of people than the accepted forum VIPs, doesn't make them evil. 2. I suggest people who want answers start doing some homework and do a forum search about the IRC channel and it's history. ...

if #puppylinux wants to be like #buntu fine... who needs mods? its self regulating-dont need world police in chat. some ppl have a odd idea of power trips. so ban me-i wont stop useing puppy- yours upera. And the 5 Freenode staff who have taken up permanent residence in there don't bother you? And ...

There are a fair number of people who want to help and have offered to do so. They are waiting for a place to do so. THAT requires that at least 3 of the 5 people JM nominated to come to an agreement on how to structure the forum section so JM can make it. The roadmap has been shown and discussed al...
