usb 3 devices

James..., Google: "wikipedia" "xhci" The first google entry starts with "Extensible host controller..." That link says that xhci replaces ohci, uhci, and ehci. I think you have to remove (blacklist?) those 3, and then use xhci. You forgot to say exactly which puppy dist...

rufwoof,

To find a free loop device, try the following:
fgrep "" /sys/class/block/loop*/size | grep "size:0$"
cat /proc/partitions | grep loop ------ shows the used loop devices.

Peebee, I was searching the 'net for the "warning hardlink count is wrong" error that I told you about earlier. I found one recent message on another forum that said to run fsck and see if that fixed the problem. On Lspupsc 16.06.3, I tried booting with puppy pfix=ram,fsck. That returned t...

Peebee, I dl'd your LXPUPSC 16.05.2 ISO to a regular flashdrive frugal install. In terminal mode (lxterminal), I get 1 warning in the following line. find / -iname Xorg.0.log ... WARNING hard link count is wrong ... /proc/fs... Probably a minor "nuisance type" bug that needs swatting. &quo...

Peebee, I just downloaded your 16.04.2.iso. On first boot, I always just change the resolution and shut it down, creating a savefile, which worked fine. On the second boot, I thought I would take a "quick" look at the dmesg output. dmesg | egrep -i udevd output looks it has some problem wi...

Fresh frugal install of the 64 bit iso.
Regular keyboard and usb Logitech mouse both work.

When I go into terminal mode (command line) and enter the following:

find / -iname "*.conf" | egrep -i xorg

I get a "hard link count is wrong ..." message. Try it.

Prehistoric

On newer Gigabit motherboards with rtl8169 problems, try changing
IOMMU in the bios to enabled. If that does not work, or has some undesirable side effect, try adding the iommu=soft kernel boot parameter.

From: Menu - Graphic - GNU Image ... , the GNU Image line appears twice.

Also, what menu selection or file do I edit to set the lcd subpixel options
like antialias, lcdfilter, rgba, etc?

Otherwise looking good, but barely tested.

Google for: "configure fails with no package foo found"
This gives 81 hits.

Or, just Google for: "foo.pc" "foo.dev" and 1 of the common header files
like "unistd.h" or "stdio.h", etc.

I asked a question about setting my lcd Native dpi to 82 and you said try menu-desktop-font manager which is correct. I rebooted and rechecked font manager. It showed 84 which is predefined and I did use. However, the screen looked exactly the same and xdpyinfo still showed a resolution of 96x96. I ...

Yeah, I know 82 is not very good (1920x1080 resolution-27 inches). I am not really interested in all the reasons why it won't work, browsers won...

A "cat /tmp/xerrs.log" shows a few errors at the end of the list, including
utf8.pm.

I did do a 'update quickpet' and a reboot first.

I do not have the devx installed.
