On this manual page it indicates the wireless button/indicator might be located on the front by the sound card jacks. ( #5 ) http://www.manualslib.com/manual/249214/Acer-Travelmate-2310-Series.html?page=10#manual Wow.. I missed the button, indeed that was the problem!! The thing is that the button ...

# rfkill list 0: phy0: wlan Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: yes Similar problem on Precise with some wifi ....although soft rather than hard blocked.... Try rfkill unblock wlan in a terminal If this works - put it into /etc/rc.d/rc.local for future boots Hi, Sorry, I'm not home now so I can't post t...

That was precise, wrote it in the title and forgot to mention it on my post. Maybe I'll try the warry and see if I have more luck.

No, there does not seem to be any wifi switch/button/light on the laptop..

Hi all, A friend gave me this old acer travelmate 2312lci_l, very old, 1.4Ghz, 256 MB ram, etc.. It comes with an Atheros AR5005GS 802.11bg wireless adapter, according to the puppy network wizard. According to the same wizard, the ath5k module is used. I get an error as follows from the puppy networ...

Hi geo - you mentioned WEP, yet the router display seems to suggest that WPA is the security mode. I am assuming this must just be a typo or else you would never have been able to connect (I would have thought anyway). Oh boy, oh boy.. How embarrassing.. I spent hours on that, trying all sorts of s...

geo909: Seeing no one replied. """"""""" 528 has Frisbee >> under Network >> as a Pet. Click on the icon to install. Wait 30 seconds....till it's up and running. Now click >> Connect and Frisbee should start. Chris. Thanks.. I tried frisbee, though (my l...

Ah, just saw the '64' on the package.. I guess it won't work with lucid..

I haven't seen gimp 2.8 around for lucid and I was really hoping that
I could get it. Is this sfs really we should expect sooner or later, you
think?

Sorry if this is a naive question, but would that work with lucid?

Hi all, I have this weird problem with my network connection: I can initially connect to my wep-secured network using any of the tools provided by puppy 5.28. Once I reboot to puppy or even start puppy without a saved session, I cannot acquire an ip address (please see attached screenshots). However...

Thanks for the feedback guys! So far it seems that my demands are not that great.. My camera is recognized (haven't tried skype yet though) and I started understanding the puppy philosophy so it seems that I'll be able to have what I need without terrible hassle. I'll definitely get the devx sfs fil...

Nice.. I see that there is a pet for hplip. It seems that the printer will be fine. I didn't have any problems in arch either. The only problem is that the hplip version is stripped down. However a full version can be found here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=628193&search_id=...

To answer (parts of) my own question, I just realized that there is a section with PET's and SFS's and stuff that one can find many of the latest applications.. I already found libreoffice, gimp, skype, wine.. So it seems that I'll find my way with the applications I need. Any feedback for the rest ...

Hi all, I have been a linux user for many years and I always had a thing about minimalism. I have been using arch for the last 2 years, I was about to do a format (my disk failed), and suddenly puppy came in my mind. I only used it for fun a couple of years ago - nothing serious. I bought my laptop ...

Hello everybody, I wanted to make some keybindings for a couple of actions but I couldn't find them on the internet. For example I couldn't manage to find how to express those actions: -Move to PREVIOUS desktop (I can move to the next) -Move to next desktop AND take the current window with you -Move...

Hello everybody, I have a somewhat old compaq presario 700 laptop. Unfortunately, it's erthenet card is faulty. So, I loaded puppy and tried to connect to the internet with a usb cable connected to my router. Though, when I click the "connect" button, puppy only sees eth0 and when I try to...

Ok, thanks a lot guys!
Good to mention the stop-counting-down thing cause I'm not a fast typer!

Hello everybody. Could you please tell me what should I do In order to force Puppy to ignore any 2fs files on startup? That is, to startup like it's the first time even there are several 2fs files on a disk.. All that time I was doing that manually, renaming the 2fs files and removing the extension,...

Wow, hadn't seen that!!
That's perfect, puppy keeps surprising me every time.

Thanks for the reply WhoDo,
and BTW, congratulations about the themes you created (and I recently noticed), they're fantastic.

Hello everybody. Since I recently purchased a 500 GB external usb HD, I decided to do an image-copy of my (internal) HD to restore my system in case of future troubles.. I have Ubuntu and it has a tool named "dd", which seems to be perfect for this kind of work. Do you know if there is suc...

I had the same problem here in Greece.
Several times during the past few days..
