new linux/pup user here, I'm running into the same problem. I'm also running on an old laptop (128MB ram). I've tried the acpi=off option without success.lisek wrote:No, I didn't try this option yet.Did you try with acpi=off option? Better for old hardware...
But luckily it's not problem with hd or cdr because I've just tried puppy 4.21 retro edition and it works ok. No failure with the boot.
So I'm thinking, Boxpup 413 is for newer PCs.
I probably can't install Boxpup 413 on my old AD 2001 PC.
Pity.
I'm able to boot my desktop with the cd, so the disc is OK.
Have you come to a resolution on this?
thanks

Hi,
You have created a truly beautiful puplet... Thanks.
This could be me being dumb but I can't seem to
re-set the password in xlock.
I initially selected the xlock icon expecting it
to ask for a password but it just locked up the screen
(matrix) and wouldn't let me back in.
Tried clearing PW etc but no luck... Any ideas please.
Feel free to berate if this is me throwing a stupid.
Thanks.

guys as a little workaround (if boxpup uses the same locking mechanism as default puppy):
you're not completely locked out, just do Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to get out of X. Then start openbox again with i think
just a workaround. please note: all your apps will be closed...

Gray,
First, let me tell you that I am an admirer of your work! However, I am having problems with Opera in Boxpup 413r1....
When I log in to my Hotmail account, everything appears -- for a very brief period -- as normal, then disappears. Just a white screen remains.
I reverted back to Boxpup 413 (with Firepup) and added an Opera .sfs that works normally, but what am I missing in revision 1?

I have posted fonting improvement packages for both 412 boxpup and 413-r1 boxpup, and would appreciate feedback.
I had the same problem with opera 10 beta in Ubuntu 8.04 (using IceWm if that matters). I put firefox on and it worked ok (just slower ). Ever since hotmail became M$ live or whatever it has really gone down hill, go figure. Although this was the worst, I have seen other probs with hotmail in firefox and google chrome. I realize it is a pain to switch over but if you can I would get a gmail or even maybe a yahoo account.Roy wrote:...I am having problems with Opera in Boxpup 413r1....

Yes, Hotmail can certainly be a bother. I actually maintain accounts with several different web providers that enables me to use their web-based chat sessions and give one specific e-mail account for ‘registering’ software, a different account for business issues, another for the anticipated receipt of spam, etc. The first time I had problems with the then -new and -improved version of Hotmail, Sit Heel Speak came through with this fix: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=251068 (using the Seamonkey browser, not Opera). Gray has since caught my attention with his full featured Puplets that don’t require a lot of hard-drive real estate.
Can’t say that I want to stop using any of those accounts, which leaves me with the same question, “…what am I missing in [Boxpup 413] revision 1?

Obmenu installation for Openbox
Hi all
I am busy setting up Boxpup 413 with all the applications I like to use. I wanted to edit the Openbox Menu and I see that there is a utility app to do this called Obmenu. Has anybody installed this and the necesarry dependencies and got it working? I have tried but cannot get it working. Could anybody give me step by step instructions or point me to a pet file?
Thanks in advance
Greg
