Did a frugal install to USB from a CD. Rebooted using the USB stick and made the usual changes ( keyboard, language and time) and then left xserver to reboot. Now xserver fails with the following message If you are reading this, then you are at the console without X running. The usual thing now is t...

just tick the boot flag box in gparted

And that was part of the problem. Gparted didn't give me the option of setting any flags whatsoever

@bigpup The key was formatted to ext4 (IIRC) I made two keys ( one for me and one for a co-worker) and I can't remember which key is which in terms of setup. Both keys seem to work well. IIRC my key is formatted to FAT32 with a EXT4 savefile, the other one I'm not so sure. I do remember that it took...

All sorted now. I partitioned the USB stick with a standalone copy of Gparted and set the boot flag. Then installed xenialpup 7.04 frugally. All good apart from shutdown where I get a constant "xenialpup 7.0.4 is now shutting down" which it doesnt do. Not a showstopper but you always worry...

This was looking really good. Wifi working OOTB. I went ahead and did a frugal install to a USB key but my laptop isn't seeing the key. I checked with Gparted and the boot flag does not appear to be set.

Thanks for that BigPup. I'll give your suggestion a run and report back later.

Update From running dmesg I could see that there was a call for iwlwifi-8000C-13.ucode but there is no such file in /lib/firmware. I found a copy of the file on the Intel website and loaded it into /lib/firmware. Tried to reboot with a save file but was told that no partition was available :shock: T...

Working well OOTB for me on a HP ProBook. Only fly in the ointment is wifi. PupSysInfo tells me ▶—— Network Report ——◀ Firewall: On (ip_tables detected) Network Status: eth0 Wireless Network: No wireless connection lspci -k 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8260 (rev 3a) Subsyst...

Yes, thats about it. If thats a problem then tell me and I'll forget about the whole thing.

I am trying to just change the default wallpaper on PuppyBang to send out CD's to friends of mine. My best Google-fu has failed If I can remove all the icons from the screen as well that would be a bonus.

No other changes needed, is this something easy?

If I visit a certain UK site ( guardian.co.uk) both of these browsers crash!! Very strange, i have never seen this issue using Puppy for several years. Chrome is fine with the site

Loving this respin!! Just a couple of issues 1. I can't get the DVD to boot into PuppyBang!! I have a couple of savefiles in SDB6 ( my Puppy partition) and even if i select option 0 ( don't use any save file) it still doesnt load as per your Youtube Video . I took the DVD to work today and it booted...

Aha!! Updated my version of Yassm to 2.7, edited yassm-select to include the Windows share that I wanted to access and rebooted. And everything now works!!

Thank you for your help ( and this very useful application, which will make my father-in-laws life a little easier)

Nice tool. Only problem I am having is with "automount on boot" Your instructions state 4. Drag the file yassm-automount into your Startup folder. I don't have a yassm-automount file in /usr/local/yassm but do have a samba-automount file. I've had a quick look at it and reckon its the same...

I installed using the Puppy Universal installer. The savefile resides on a different partition. Guess that may answer my question- partition isn't mounted until after Puppy boots and therefore the savefile isn't going to be visible. I'll try making a savefile within the Puppy partition and see if it...

Hi Mick Nice Pup. Installed nicely onto my EEEPC 1000HG. On the way out it created a savefile ( as you'd expect). On reboot I installed Chromium from PPM. Ran into the usual "running Chrome as root" issue. On exit it prompted me ( again) to create a savefile??. Definitely something not rig...

@simargl Thanks for the hint. I changed my keyboard layout in /root/.start to "gb" and all is well. Wireless is working well. Now to tweak to my taste :D Edit- cancel that! Suddenly the keyboard has reverted to its previous state ie typing "p" produces a "-" :cry: I hav...

Loving the latest ArchPup. I'm using it on a EEEPC 1000HG netbook. Main issue for me is a keyboard layout issue. Not too sure how I can change what I have to what I need (GB keyboard layout) Pwireless appears to work ( detects my network but I can't connect because of the aforementioned keyboard iss...

Nice work Iguleder. I'm having a couple of problems with GuyDog on my EEEPC 1005. During boot I am offered a monitor resolution of 1024 x 768. I use that but when the netbook boots into the GUI the screen resolution has changed to 800 x600. I have rebooted and ran the "Test" in Video selec...

Thanks for the awesome PET!
