could a person do this with slack too? I like it more. i'm trying a full install edit: ok I guess it takes some monkeying around to have the usb installer do a full install so I haven't tried that yet. I did try making a frugal install on the sd card with an ex4 file format but it didn't boot. so no...

edit sorry double post

thanks for the additional info mikeb. I did find this in the "how I patched wine for netflix thread The full install may be the most important thing to note, because Silverlight requires XATTR (extended file attributes) to be enabled on any volumes where it saves or caches information (i.e., th...

thank you for the help.

I used. 1.7.19-1

I'm confused by the fstab too. Don't really know enough about this stuff...

I may try a new install using ext4 to see if it works.

i'm trying to get this working. right now I'm getting a whoops something went wrong message...Digital Rights Management DRM erro I used a newer cornholio wine then the guide. I'm running precise on an sd card usb install, is that an issue over your statement in the instructions about a full install ...

hi i'm sorry the searches I found didn't explain what i'm trying to do. So I slack 5.7 on a laptop that i hook up to my flatscreen. when I use this setup I normally turn off the laptop screen with the following terminal command xrandr --output LVDS1 --off couple questions: 1) how do i automate this ...

the first set of instructions sfr posted works for my new build using pupmode13

thanks again.

Ah, so you have frugal install on the entire partition, right? I should have ask for this detail - the previous mod applies only for frugal install with a savefile. In your case, this block should be replaced: 7) #PDEV1 and PUPSFS. echo "$(eval_gettext "Saving session to \${PDEV1}..."...

rufwoof thank you for posting your setup. Puppy is pretty amazing in how flexible it is. rufwoof do you have puppy auto save then? The way i use puppy, I prefer to only have it save to the savefile when I choose yes at shutdown. anything data wise that I need saved, I copy it to the SD card memory b...

Don't forget to set MENU, SYSTEM, PUP EVENT MANAGER save session tab - save interval to zero Otherwise your savefile will be updated every 30 mins (or whatever). Personally I use pupsavehotbackup to make periodic backups of my savefile and if at the end of a session I want to ditch any changes I ju...

I should have listed more info. I put slacko on a SD card using the universal installer (usb option i thought) this laptop's harddrive died and I pulled it, so all there is is the SD card in the reader on my other computer I have 5.6 on a SD card too, set up so it doesn't save at all unless I answer...

hi thanks for seeing me through this. i didn't reset settings before applying. i used your pristine

pupstate says i'm in pupmode 7 so i'll have to change that

hi and thank you for the help.

i replaced the blocks like you recommended but now the session is saved automatically at shutdown and there is still no choice.

I copied and pasted your block so i don't think there is any error

Hi everyone. I downloaded the new 5.7 and really like it so far. In 5.6 I added a few lines to rc.shutdown based on a thread here to give me the option YES OR NO to save the session or not. I tried adding these same lines to the rc file in 5.7 but it doesn't work, it just shuts the computer down wit...

I can't find who the printer is made by then dell branded It's a Samsung ML2165W. A PPD is just a configuration text file. It is rarely sufficient to install a printer. That's why the Dell driver package you downloaded contains all that other stuff. For information about printing in Puppy, go here....

Hi, new to the forums but i've been using puppy for awhile now. my setup currently is slacko loaded onto an SD card that I simply pop out when i need to use windows. traditionally I would make a partition for linux on the harddrive but for this laptop i decided to leave the harddrive alone. I change...
