Installing a game offered by someone completely anonymous and new to the community on a Linux distro that runs as root definitely sounds like a very good idea...

NOT.

Debian.

Remember that no one needs to depend upon someone else's voluntary work to release .pet packages. The official fotoxx website releases new versions quite often, and there is always a .deb package that works fine on Lucid. That's what I use. Another reason to dislike the forthcoming Slackware-based P...

Sorry, but you're not convincing me. So 0x0000007f 0x00000000 means "kernel dividing by zero". Fine. Now, how do you go from "kernel dividing by zero" to "oh, silly me, I misconfigured a jumper"? Come on. virus-laden free MP3s and pr0n videos No. There is no such thing.

Wow, that's even more useless than the versions I've seen in the past. It doesn't even provide information that's useful to tech support types... what a waste of code. Wait, what's this "information that's useful" you're talking about? Those ultra obscure codes that NOBODY ever knew what ...

Use Puppy's package manager to install ROX. It's easy. Then right-click the terminal area to configure it, there are many good options. I don't know what the default terminal is on Vector. You may also want to try Tilda or stjerm. These are running but hidden all the time, but become visible and for...

Try ROXterm, it is arguably the best terminal available for Puppy. Perl and Python have always been dependency nightmares, especially Python. When I used Slackware (and had to hunt dependencies myself), I tried quite a few Python apps and NEVER EVER managed to make any single one of them work. Not o...

I finally solved this. As it turns out, I have been running Puppy with lupu_devx_525.sfs and kernel_src_L4-2.6.33.2-patched.sfs loaded at boot for a long time, ever since I had to install VMware/VMplayer. Then I realized this and decided I didn't need them anymore and removed them from the bootup. Y...

Thanks, but I am going to wait for Firefox 15. I've heard that is going to be the bestest version ever. Around Christmas, supposedly.

Both Thunar and Xfe are available, I have both running. Thunar is better for certain things, Xfe is better for others. So are a number of other filers. You do know that xfce is not xfe, don't you? (just checking). Xfe is a file manager. I am comparing it to Thunar. XFCE is a window manager, a very ...

That has been happening to me for a long time, I just don't know when/why it started and if it has anything to do with Firefox.

Both Thunar and Xfe are available, I have both running. Thunar is better for certain things, Xfe is better for others.

Neither is really good, they're just better than ROX, which is absolutely awful.

Suddenly, exiftool no longer works. Just like that. Consequently, fotoxx is not working properly. I run exiftool on the command line and get this error: puppypc[355-0]/> exiftool Can't locate lib.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.1 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1 /usr/lib/pe...

That is part of the ImageMagick package. You can get it with the Puppy Package Manager, from an Ubuntu repository, I think.

OK, it worked. Thank you!

I vaguely remember trying to run some programs, probably games, that would not run on Puppy. I got some error message about GLX or something, I don't remember. I didn't have much time to waste, so I dismissed it. Later on, I installed a game called Pipewalker, which would not run. Error message in c...

Look what happened to me yesterday: http://i.imgur.com/RbLv2.jpg This is just shameful. That lupusave file just won't boot anymore. I have a backup, but it doesn't have a few customizations I had made two days ago. So am I supposed to back up my lupusave file (i.e. pretty much the entire operating s...

SOLVED. Thank you.

Holy cow. What a topic. Here is a good suggestion for a term paper: "How the Linux community went from 'security-minded' to 'scare-mongering' in less than ten years." Parent poster is just frighteneed out of their bejeezus because of them sly and magic hax0rz and their awesome hax0rin sk1l...

/bin/sh is a link to /bin/bash. Are you running a full, or frugal, install? Frugal. If /bin/sh is a link to /bin/bash, that's easy to fix. There, it's fixed. Thank you. But I still would like to know where to get fresh copies of system files in an emergency, if I ever delete something else. Boy, I'...
