Booting Puppy Precise LiveCD Nvidia issues SOLVED!

G'day I have noticed some people with an Nvidia computer say they get a blank screen when booting later versions of Linux (like Ubuntu, Slackware and Puppy Precise); I have a fairly modern Gaming Laptop with Dual Nvidia Cards (sli) and since the beginning of 2012 I get a repeating flashing screen of...

Just installed SolusOS 1.3 (not the developing 2 series) - seems a nice desktop and hopefully can get it as productive as my Ubuntu desktop ....then i can ditch Ubuntu.

btw. I'm also a fanatic Puppian - Lupu + Puppy 3.01 (with glibc + gtk2+ upgrade)

Cheers

Opening docx with Word 2007

G'day, setting a computer up for my father with Puppy as WinXP support is coming to an end. However, getting him to move away from MSOffice is a bit too much to ask. I've set up the run action for paf files (another windows app) and it works fine: wine path-to/paf.exe "$@" but... I tried t...

OpenOffice 4.0 Office Suite (gb lang version)

G'day, I cobbled this package together and it works well in a fresh Puppy Lucid install. I kinda expect it to work well in other Puppies as long as glibc has been updated for the older Pooch.... I'll get around to testing it in 3.01 soonish.... I haven't tested the Java support yet but I expect it'l...

Libreoffice Openoffice and MSOffice 2007 at the same time!

G'day, I was quite curious to see what Apache had done with our beloved Oo - so I installed Openoffice 4.0 - the sidebars are quite innovative...i like. I was always led to believe that you can't have an install of Libreoffice and Openoffice at the same time.... well not on Ubuntu anyway... but curi...

Question about Russoodle's Repository

G'day, Over the past couple of weeks I've tried to download Ardour 3 - but keep getting this same message - "This Account Has Been Suspended". Is it something about my setup that's causing this or is this a genuine outage or has Russoodle after 6+ years let it go? Just wondering if someone...

Hi Announcer,
Currently the link is dead - it may only be temporary but if it isn't could you upload to an active file hosting service. This would be greatly appreciated as I'm rather keen to try the new features of Ardour 3.

Not sure if its the newer jwmconfig file or JWM805 - but my modifications to the tray were over-written - went to backup to restore.
