You're welcome. I'm glad the information was helpful.

As for your timezone: you don't want to go there. Smile

The best thing for all of us to do is to choose a time zone that better describes the place where we live, such as "Europe/London". That way things like summer time are handled automatically, and you avoid those nasty POSIX GMT designations from rearing their ugly heads.

(If you really want to know more, see Barry's post here.)

BTW how do I copy/paste from the console? Middle button with copy and paste the stuff I marked, but I was never able to get anything from or in the console.

If by "console" you mean the text console (ctrl+alt+F1) I have no answer. If you mean the rxvt or urxvt terminal window that you get by clicking the console icon on the desktop, you use the same method that you used to copy text within that window or to that window: copy with the left pointer button; paste with the middle pointer button.

Note that the text is not in the buffer used by ctrl+v and the Paste entry for the right-click menu, so those methods will not work. Note also that the text is pasted at the pointer cursor, not the text cursor (as is the case for ctrl+v).

Different applications may behave differently. The above is true for geany and seamonkey.
A word of caution (at least in my case with lucid 203)
When doing alt+ctrl+F1 I found myself in a kinda X-prompt window.
No commands typed were executed.
The only safe way to get out of this was ctrl+alt+delete and the PC did reboot safely.

Good point.

I should have chosen a better example of a text console in the Puppy world. In Puppy, virtual console 1 (ctrl+alt+F1) is normally waiting for the xwin script to complete, so it will ignore anything you type there. I don't know how Lucid Puppy sets up its virtual consoles, but in Puppy 4.3.1 virtual console 2 (ctrl+alt+F2) and virtual console 3 (ctrl+alt+F3) allow you to log-in. Virtual console 4 is running X, so pressing ctrl+alt+F4 will get me back to the X desktop. I don't know about Lucid Puppy.

I hope you didn't loose any work when you unexpectedly had to reboot, and I apologize if you did.

Don't worry. As I said, it was a safe reboot.
So no loss of whatever.

.ogm files are not associated with the mediaplayer, although they are playing fine.

Using Universal Installer, makes no difference how I format the target drive, ext2/3, it always identifies it as ext4 . . .

Oh, and the installer incorrectly identifies an ext3 partition as ext4. Even if I delete and recreate ext3 with gparted, the installer insists it sees a ext4.

Puppy 4.3.1 used a patched version of disktype-9. disktype-9 by itself also had the bug which misidentified ext2/ext3 partitions, but with the patch it worked correctly.

Quirky used a newer version of disktype, disktype-10, but (as we can see) it still had the bug.

In the latest Woof, Barry has reverted to the former version with the patch that worked, so this bug should be gone in future Puppies/Quirkies. He also reported the bug to the disktype developers so maybe, we hope, disktype-11 will work correctly whenever it is released.

For more details, see Barry's blog: Disktype fixed

The patched version that works can be found here: disktype-9-patched_pardus_bk.pet

When I open a console from the dektop (using the 'console' icon) I get a urxvt, when I use the "Window->Terminal Here" from the context menu in rox I get a rxvt. Is there correct? What's the difference between those?

If you go to /usr/bin, you will see that rxvt is a symlink to urxvt. So they both run the same program.

you need to update abiword, wv was broken and Barry used a early version that wasn't broken in his latest, below you'll need both pets installed.

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/quirky/pet_packages-quirky/wv-1.2.5-s131.pet
I think that was all I changed for abiword in the Quirky retro firefox version I was somewhat supporting.

wierd:
A
install from cd, frugal, empty parn

1st time it said it had installed, but only had the save and copied qrky120.sfs in the directory when rebooted, thankfully the cd found the savefile and started.

2nd time told to install it did

B
installed the firefox pet as I prefer firefox, has missing lib's (libsqlite3.so and libxul.so)? But it does run so ...

shutdown for a while (tummy called for food)

C
on restart it refused to autofind my video card and monitor, took three goes with a shutdown between to get it up again (intel driver / hp p1120 monitor)

more when I get more testing of apps done

I tested QuirkyNOP 1.2 version but gxine fails to run mp4 files from youtube but on Quirky 1.0 and 1.2 they play just fine.

can one move quirky 1.0 gxine out to mnt/home and from there into QuirkyNOP-1.2 so I get a fully functional gxine there?

After burning a CDRW : dmesg shows lots of "Buffer I/O error" and md5sum doesn't work. I found out why : the CD was burned in TAO mode so the last blocks are not written.
I found a solution :
# cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom -speed=4 -dao -data qrky-112.iso
So the produced CD is burned in DAO mode at lowest speed and md5sum is possible.
This was not a bug.
