Hi all, I am at a point where I boot from usb with a flashdrive, and the boot process then shows the fatdog splash screen and hangs. From there, I can get into a boot menu in fatdog that flashes so fast that when I hit enter, I am then taken into a shell program that does not take any linux commands...

hi all, i have been following along this line and have done everything suggested. no luck. in order for me to boot fatdog, i have to enter the bios, turn off secure boot and turn off uefi. then i can use fatdog, but then my wifi card will not work so without the internet, i am in the dark more than ...

I have a Pocketbook IQ 701 e-reader that I no longer use and want to use it as a tool to learn with. It currently runs the android operating system. I want to learn first, how to remove android, and next how to replace the operating system. (from internal memory, not the sd card). At this time I do ...

i am contemplating setting up a paket node in my area and would like it to be more than just local to my area. i would appreciate any input from fellow hams who have knowledge of jnos and are in a position to explain setup to a novice. if this is possible, i am hoping that the ham puppy community ca...

i was just reading the fatdog64 discussion about samba and this real dumb question came to mind and i thought i would ask it here since it must be so far over my head that i cannot see the difference. is ssh easier to set up than samba? which one is better, or are they totally different? if it is, w...

just was reading wikipedia and saw this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Long_Tan. Any of you old farts running puppy? (any ham radio guys on echolink? ) I was in the 9th division just north of you guys in 1968 . I just wanted to add my best wishes to you in light of Long Tan Day and say that...

here is a reply to improving the testing process. when I download a new puppy, I do it in windows . (sorry, but I am not comfortable enough with linux to use it exclusively). As soon as the download is finished, I burn it to a cd-rw disk with burncdcc. Then reboot and upon first chance, type puppy p...

here is how i got alsa going: opened program by clicking on desktop icon. right clicked on alsa window to bring up settings option box. now, immediately, go to dropdown box next to beginner, and select master of the universe. immediately save this by clicking the middle radio button on the bottom of...

here are notes i took while trying things out. i am not as sophisticated as you guys at this so if my stuff is too crude for you and no help at all, just let me know and i will not clutter up your space with my ramblings. here are the notes i took while testing things out and my signature on the bot...

sound configuration in lupu 501. follow up from previous. tried a lot of things after seeing a suggestion for alsaconfig. opened pmusic and instead of alsaconfig found an option for zmixer. clicked on it and got a almost empty yer pants out scared, when the music i had playing in pmusic began to pla...

hope this helps, i am kind of new to this feedback stuff, but here are my experiences with lucid puppy 5.0.1: lucid puppy 501 notes 5 25 2010 5:30 am downloaded and used burncc to burn iso image. (am always impressed with the simplicity and reliability)! booted finally using vesa after 3 attempts at...

i was just passing thru, but will add my 2 cents to this. i believe that puppy should boot with the most basic graphics available and then, after the program boots, i will have the option to touch it up to where i want it to go. the reason i am saying this is that i have recently obtained a new lapt...

hi lobster, this computer shows a intel graphics media accelerator HD , not an nvidia. in my haste and inexperience, i left out that i booted with puppy pfix=ram but i usually do in an attempt to just not save something i am trying out new and saving my hd from a lot of save files. i just tried the ...

booted pfix=ram end result was a blank screen, tried esc, ctr alt backspace to get to prompt, nothing works to get to a useable prompt. this is a relatively new computer. a hp laptop, dv6-2150us it has a ntfs hd, 64 bit. does the same thing with quirky 1.0 fat dog64 does work as does the wifi driver...

i have looked all over and believe i have found the answer to a lot of questions here. i hope!!!! i downloaded and ran fatdog64 beta 3 today and found that it connected my wifi card to the internet. after looking into the program, i believe the drivers are version 5.60.48.36. i looked at the broadco...

i found a sony model usm1gj microvault 1g usb flash drive for $10 us . my plan is to finally dedicate a flash drive for puppy only. i have never seen this question posted. in addition to the sony device mentioned i also have a sandisk model that could benefit from the same solution. the problem is t...

geoff.l wow. this is like a new life! thanks a million. i never would have thought of trying that. do not even know what acpi is but that will be my next study when i can get at it. real curious,though. why does this motherboard work perfectly with the 2.6.24 kernel in dingo alpha 6 before things we...

Puppy 4 beta1 troubleshooting notes 4 5 2008 booted pfix=ram booted without incident. As per normal for me, I have to go into wizard wizard and change the mouse to left hand. Worked. Next change jwm config to show 6 virtual consoles DOES NOT WORK. WILL NOT CHANGE TO ADDITIONAL CONSOLES. Next try to ...

i do not see an option to delete this post, sorry.
i will move it to bug reports. (would appreciate how to delete a message,though)
thanks.

I have spent a huge amount of time to try to get puppy running on my d201gly2 intel computer.
