Re: This thread is fairly old

Could it be that some file did not have execution permission? Maybe some library is diferent, if you need some help abour this say me. Yes, some help would be good! Is there anything I can do to give more information? I installed in /opt/Mplab .... I could try in /mnt/home/... like you did perhaps?...

Ok, writing that last message reminded me that I had a saved .2fs file. A check on the date and it was 6th November. Unusually good of me to have such a recent backup! So I did this: (in case anyone else is following this with the same problem) 1. Renamed the .2fs backup file and copied it to my /mn...

Cool, thanks Musher0.
One of the icons that I lost was a link to a script to do a backup of the .2fs file. Once I find the script I'll have to add another line to backup the PuppyPin file as well.

Now to go and find lunch...

Changed Language, Lost Desktop Customisation

Today I realised that my dates were showing the "wrong" way around. I checked the Wizard Wizard, and sure enough there is a Country Wizard. I found that it was on US, where I wanted it to be on Australia. So I changed it to Australia, and while I was there I ticked the "Num Lock"...

Problems using the editor in MPLABX

Ok, now for my problem. The MPLABX IDE has a very nice editor to help you write your c code. There is a problem though, which I will try to explain: The editor works fine if I use the keyboard and don't use the mouse. If I do use the mouse, it also works fine, but then won't let me use the keyboard....

This thread is fairly old, but I thought I'd document my experience in case anyone is searching... I am using a frugal installation of Precise Puppy 5.6.1. I found that MPLABX IDE versions 1.85 and 1.90 both worked quite well in Puppy, with a bug or two. These are the steps I went through: 1. Instal...

Sound works in one sfs, not in another

bump.

Can anyone help me with my problem (as described in the first post) please?
I can obviously start from scratch, but that means re-downloading, installing and configuring quite a few applications.

Yes - Savefile - that's the word!
The one where the sound works is called precisesave-DELL.2fs.
The one where the sound doesn't work is called precisesave-CRW.3fs.

So when I boot up I can choose one or the other. They both appear to work fine in every other regard.

Sound works in one savefile, not in another

Hello, I'm being frustrated by a lack of sound. I'm using Precise Puppy 5.6.1 with a frugal installation. Sound works perfectly using one savefile, but there is no sound with another. I assume that there is a difference between the configurations of each "installation". I have worked throu...
