Thanks all for trying to help. Might have to give up on Puppy for the time being. Might try again when and if any new downloads become availlable for Lucid. Dont ask for much, just want a stable wireless/internet connection to look at my emails and check Google out, the ability to write a letter and...

Hello. On my computer the key that swiches the wireless mode On and Off is the F2 button, although you dont have to use the function (Fn) key to use it. Has a little picture on the key, which I believe is of an Aerial mast, if you use a bit of immagination! This only works under Windows. I think to ...

Hello. I am using a Dell Inspiron 1545. One of my keyboard keys switches my wireless card On and Off. What would appear to be happening under my Lucid start up is that somehow that is also switching off my my wireless card, so that I am left with no wireless connectivity. If I should do a restart of...

Hello. Did another download of Lucid onto a formated USB drive. Then used Frisbee for my network connection. Very impressed with Frisbee it was certainly the easiest and fastest way to connect that I have used. Worked without problem for first couple of times I used it. Now problem with wireless has...

Hello. OK then. Xgames-0.3 Small X games collection (Dont play games but a good test!). Oclock-1.0.3 X11 on screen clock. HPLIP-3.12.9 HP Printscanfax support. What ever I try the "Installed packages" do not appear in my menu. When I use this function in Lucid, everything appears in menu, ...

Sorry should have said command "fixmenus" in above post and not "fixwindows"!! Paul

Hello. Did try the command fixwindows, but still not working. It works OK in Lucid Puppy the problem is only with Slacko Puppy. Installed Packages appear Ok in "Puppy package manager" but do not appear in the menu. Know I must be doing something correctly as Lucid packages works OK. Thanks...

Think this problem with wireless connectivity is only happening with Lucid Puppy and that from a wireless point of view that Slacko is OK. Thing is I like Lucid more than Slacko and in general Lucid is working better than Slacko. Paul

Thanks for comments. This wireless problem with linux does also affect my dell computer and Windows7. I can switch my computer off and start it up under Windows and all my wireless connectivity has been lost, I cant even see my neighbours networks. Luckily the last few times this has happened my wir...

A bit loath to try frisbee as dont know if I dare go back into puppy. Having tried a number of Linus OS over the last few days, the only one I like is Puppy but having lost all connectivity to my wireless network and also my neighbours network when connecting to Puppy it makes you a bit wary of tryn...

Hello. There I was all happy with Lucid. Now when I start up, it has stopped Auto Connecting to my wireless connection. So I go throu the process of setting up a connection to my wireless network. A window appears with all the local networks including mine. I click put in my key and after a long tim...

Hello. Lucid Puppy is fast becoming my main OS. Apart from a scanner problem, which I am not too bothered about, the only other problem I have is to view and print photos. It has Viewnior Image Viewer which is fine for viewing photos but you cant print from it! I wish to view photos and print them o...

Still not solved this problem. When I install packages (with all the dependent packages) where do they go to on my computer/puppy linux. Have installed Simple network protocol tools, a Screen Clock and the HP printscanfax support. But can not find these in Puppy menu or anywhere else on my computer....

Hi. Thanks for help in trying to get scanner to work. Have now given up getting it to work. Looking at all the linux pages using Google it is obvious that this is a problem that is very common. Even in the instructions that came with the printer for Windows usage, they dont give much information for...

Model I selected was HP Deskjet Series (EN) only because the HP3070A is part of the B611 series! In fact I think they all work for printing but not the scanning. Peasyscan image scanner just says No Scanner Detected. There is a lot on different Linux pages about not being able to get this scanner to...

Hi. There was a link between the two questions, the downloading of drives from the package manager and not getting my scanner to work was possibly to do with me not getting my installed packages to work.
Thanks.

Tried running printer directly connected using USB. Computer does not even detect I have anything connected to it. The driver I was trying was the hplip-scan-3.12.10a from the packet manager, which is why I went of topic and asked my other question regarding the downloading from the package manager....

Hello. After installing packages from the Puppy Package Manager, do I need to do anything else to get them started on my computer. I have installed a couple of packages including an on screen clock but can not them to work.

Thanks. Paul

Hello. Using Slacko Puppy 5.4 and HP wireless printer/Scanner 3070A. I have set up wireless printer and it works fine from my computer. Not sure how to get scanner to work? To be honest have not ever used scanner even when using windows, although it did function OK. Just like things to work! Thanks....

Hello. Sorry if this is and odd question, but wondered what was the best USB memory size for linux Puppy. Sure I read somewhere that too much memory can cause some problems. Was looking at 16GB only because this was the only size in stock for the type I was looking for.

Thanks.
