After a time of using Tahr on the Satellite A105, the video goes odd, acting like a bad horizontal circuit on an old CRT TV. The whole screen slides right to left, giving multiple images that move left faster as I move the mouse to the right. I can get it to slow, but never stop. For now, I've falle...

I don't really consider myself a regular, so, if anyone is offended I apologize. Long term lurker and user/proponent may fit better. Because it may be that I have a defective download, (sorry, I didn't match the checksum), but I recently booted the live CD of Precise 5.6.1 on three newer laptops I w...

OK, OK. Turns out I owe some folks here an apology. I have the flashing video/X-server thingie fixed. A little off-putting, but OK. I had to write in "super tux" in the search box in PPM to find it. Dumb and difficult. Can you fix that? It hints at other issues not yet discovered. For now,...

"I have to go back, now and re-try it". And I have set up dual boot between Lucid and Precise. First problem: flashing X-server and short, annoying freezes of the cursor and activities. Found out, by experiment, that the NVIDIA driver, in SFS form (another foreign concept to me right now) ...

You said "hi stillusingthepup, i kinda disagree that lucid 528 is the best pup.... precise pup is the natural progression from lucid and has massive improvements in the PPM. more things work and it's quicker..... supertux works 'out the box' .... hell of a lot quicker than mint too" ~~~~~~...

Bear in mind I am comparing Puppy to Ubuntu, Mint, Bodhi and Slax. This because I use and like them. Ubuntu, with it's cool "dock" is much like the MacOS I know and love. And it's packages, all zillion of them that I've added, work. Mint because it is a traditional icons-on-the-desktop dis...

I'm in a rare philosophic mood, so I wanna do a brain dump here, if you don't mind. Of course, it would be cool if I got an answer to my boggle. I love Puppy Linux mind you, but in trying the newer 5.x versions, I find frustration. Racy is well-made and runs fast enough. But the lack of packages for...

you said: "I have a full install of precise and use it everyday The best feature is being able to boot without a CD, so I can always install newer versions. It doesnt have those slowdowns like windows where you have to investigate and clear out temp files,spyware and all that stuff I tried Arch...

In order to post here, I've had to create a new ID. A problem with trying to change email addresses left me no choice. Truth is, I've been a Puppy Promoter since 2005 and posting as "puponmanyoldlaptops" since then. When you try enough Linux distros, you find a favorite. I tried lots of th...
