I'm on 2.12 (Muppy007) on a 1GB RAM Toshiba Satellite laptop. I can suspend and resume successfully if I don't have many programs open. I have noticed that if I suspend for a long time, resume is inconsistent. Sometimes I have to do the ctrl-alt-f3 thing, but not often. I tried some of the suspend s...

How to install Tomboy note-taking app?

I searched the forum and found only one page that had a reference to Tomboy . Anybody try it? I downloaded latest and tried to compile it, but I'm missing gnome-doc-utils and couldn't understand how to get past that. Maybe someone with more knowledge offer some advice...even if to say "Don't tr...

Muppy007 is a system inheriting the speed of Puppylinux, but I think Muppy 007 was the last Muppy, as an updated 215CE with the new SFS-features of 216 will make Muppy obsolete. Mark Hi Mark, I love Muppy, but I'm also strangely fascinated by constantly updating my OS. I suppose I will start playin...

So you see there are a lot of questions that a step by step how-to would answer. This is the 'HOWTO ( Solutions )' board after all, not the 'I did it so figure it out for yourself' board. Of course you can ask, but no one is paid (to my knowledge) to root out the particularities of your system. Sup...

Komodo, I really just followed brad_chuck's instructions, so they might lack detail, but they are correct as is. although i didn't do #5 (brad_chuck, does that matter?) what you might consider doing is backing up, then just going for it. keep track and when you post in this forum, describe what is g...

I'm definitely not an advanced user. But I got vmware going. Thanks Brad!!! But I'm still confused because I did it by first creating a virtual machine of my WindowsXP using VMware Converter . Did I need to do that? I saved that virtual machine on an external drive. Then in my Puppy VMware server, I...

I didn't get far. I downloaded it, extracted it, started to configure it and got stuck so I read a bit more: IBM's ViaVoice Engine xvoice is free software, but IBM's engine on which it depends is not. In order to run xvoice, you will need a licensed version of ViaVoice for Linux. (The xvoice develop...

Xvoice...or something else...maybe...

My TabletPC has two built in microphones. I know for sure one of them works in Puppy. They're for voice dictation as set up under Windows XP Tablet Edition. Since I almost never use MS now that my Linux TabletPC does its primary purpose of grading papers using digital ink, I'm wondering about voice ...

It looks like I'm going to be using both jarnal and xournal because xournal has NO text at all. Usually I handwrite over a student essay and then type my comments at the end. That used to be GoBinder's job because it did ink and text. xournal is less confusing and more limited, but I like it just a ...

Very teensy, tiny point--and I could be wrong--but I don't think there should be a comma before "versatility" nor "vapidity" in the logo on the wiki page. Come to think of it, there probably shouldn't be a comma after "versatility".

Thinking out loud about Network Printing

I spent the morning successfully getting CUPS up and running on my Puppy but printing via M$ LAN to a networked Brother printer. Marvelous! I heretofore had been transferring documents to other computers... So that got me thinking. I need to solve the problem of a networked printer with about 20 com...

Thanks for the button tip, Braden. I found that one out and meant to post it, but I'm still swamped with grading papers, the reason why I use my tablet pc. At first I tried Jarnal, which is pretty cool, but then I figured out how to compile xournal and that's the one I'm really enjoying. It doesn't ...
