Maybe upcoming Puppy versions could have xauth binary built-in because it is essential application if one uses Puppy system remotely through SSH login with remote X11 server. Please take a look at this post for more info: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=13357 Fortunately it was easy...

Ooops. Sorry. Posted this accidentally to wrong forum. I meant to post this to HOWTO forum, not in AdditionaSoftware. Maybe admins can move this thread?

Hi, If you want to use your Puppy X11 applications remotely from another workstation (your Windows or other X11 environment) then this is what I had to do with Puppy 2.12 to get it working. This allows you to use Puppy machine without keyboard and display. I'm building HTPC box with Puppy OS and thi...

Share names with trailing $ -char are "hidden" shares in Windows, not temporary shares. One can create a share name using $ as a last char to hide the share from other workstations on the network. Clients must know the exact name of the share to map it (ie using \\mypchost\files$ as a shar...

VDR I'm using is mainly for live tv view, EPG browsing and scheduling of tv recordings. If one needs MP3 players, photo viewers etc then VDR needs addon plugin applications (see http://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Main_Page for more info about VDR and plugins). Neverthless, no matter which HTPC...

I have Puppy 2.10 as "HTPC settop box". I use Twinhan USB DVB-T tuner and VDR frontend as htpc application. This is a short "straight out from memory" list of issues I did to get it all working. - Downloaded kernel 2.6.16.7 sources (patched it with SquashFS patch). Another option...

The "compile instructions" I posted apply to scenario where Puppy has been installed as a normal hard drive installation. I have never tried to install Puppy to CF/USB media, so cannot comment those issues. Well, eventually I will install Puppy to CF-IDE card but it is a different story. B...

I have normal hard drive installation of Puppy 2.01 so the RAM disk issue doesn't apply in this scenario. However, Puppy is still amazingly fast to boot even when it reads everything from hard-disk file by file. It takes only 35secs after a cold boot and I'm looking at X desktop (Xorg with default P...

I have Puppy 2.01 running in VMWare environment. I use the VMWare env as a development station for compiling and testing new apps. The real "EPIA VIA" hardware is used just to run "VMWare compiled" apps in real-world environment. Puppy HD-installation in VMWare environment didn't...

Here are the steps I did when I compiled Kernel 2.6.17.1 for Puppy 2.01. I have hard drive installed version of Puppy so not exactly the case you have but in general most of these steps should apply (1) Downloaded pristine Kernel sources (full source, not the smaller patch only version) from the off...

Some of the "No's" probably are okey (like missing AIX system or cross-compiler setup etc). However, without actually trying to compile XClass application I don't know for sure whether some of the No's are fatal errors. If you really cannot compile the app then some of them are fatal. You ...

I don't know about XClass application so I don't know whether you definetly need some extra libraries or devel header files. Do you have a sample error messages? Are they compiler or linker errors? Usually compiler errors mean that you need some devel package with additional header files. Linker err...

Hi,

Devx package can be downloaded from http://www.puppyos.com/test/ address. There seems to be a bug in Puppy 2.01 version because it is supposed to unpack this package automatically when it is dropped in root dir (/) However it didn't do it in my situation. I have normal hard disk installation so I fo...

Hi, I have Twinhan USB2 Alpha dvb-t tuner device and I'd like to use Puppy as VDR system. However, I'm having troubles loading required firmware to the USB2 device. Following modules works just fine except that the device doesn't bootup because of failing firmware loading: modprobe dvb-usb modprobe ...

Phew. Finally I got Puppy 2.01 and Unichrome via drivers (Openchrome) to work. 3D Wizard didn't recognize "VIA" chipset if I was using "vesa" driver instead of "via" driver (the stock one in Puppy 2.01). However, I had a problem that VIA driver gave nothing but black sc...

Hi, I have EPIA M10000 board with Unichrome CLE266 chipset graphic card. I have installed Puppy 2.01 and it works great. However, I have managed to get xorg to work only with vesa driver, so no video acceleration here :-( xorg.conf file is using Driver "vesa" device driver because "vi...

I had similar problems with Puppy 2.01 installation. Xorg installation didn't work because it looked like it couldn't detect sync rates of my monitor properly. All I get was a black screen from Xorg install wizard. Xvesa worked without any flawas as 1024x768 I had other Linux distros which worked us...

I asked a question (see thread http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?t=9126 ) about missing libcap library in stock Puppy and libcap-devel files in devx package. Problem was solved with Mark's help and Dougal suggested me to post a note about missing files in this thread. I was compiling VDR (ww...

MU, thanks for the ultra fast and accurate respose. I didn't realize that I could install Debian DEB or RedHat RPM packages. For anyone else out there here is how I managed to install missing libcap and libcap-devel packages to Puppy 2.01. - Downloaded UNDEP/UNRPM pup package from www.murga.org/~pup...
