I read that into Jemimah's comment on another thread but I could have misunderstood her.

She did answer what is different and she made a correct answer it is one of the way it is different.

But as you say here now it is not direct evidence for why Fluppy just works and why your Snowy also works and works and why Insidious 001 is number third in reliability having failed only once and the other two never and have booted for weeks using Fluppy.

So would be cool to know exactly what it is.

Re this download I want to do now !

"Pemasu wrote: I re-uploaded Insidious 002 "


on Smokey or what. What is the link? I used search but that one showed only I re-uploaded Insidious 001 instead of I Insidious 002.

Yes I test it again! Thanks

I use 002 now. Managed to get 1024x768 as I wanted.

How is this one different from Snowy? Why use this one and not your Snowy?

In case it never fail to boot? then I have three to chose among. What luxury :)

Now I know why I did skip it.

Like many other versions when one have two screens. The 10" too small so I use a 15? or 17" screen and USB mouse and USB Keybord and the Netbook is more like a desktop.

Anyway here is what is happening. 1024x768 but show only 1024x600 on pictures.

Which is very annoying if one expect it to just work as it does on Fluppy.

I don't remember how it is for Snowy I log out and test that one again.

Edit

The difference between Inpu-002 and Snowy is that Snowy show F11 full screen as really full screen while Inpu show only 1024x600 when using the picture viewer. Both are set up to have 1024x768.

So that is why I did stop using 002.

Insidious and wireless

#204 Post by TrailerTrash »

Sounds great but I absolutely need the 3g wireless modem packages so I've been using Lupu 5.11 which agrees with my Verison (novatel 760 modem).

Does Insidious have those packages?

Tks :?:

wvdial-1.53-3.pet is what is included with Insidious 002. It is from 27.12.2010 woof. Also there is those zzz_scripts_simple_bk-20101227.pet which seems to have some 3g specific scripts by Barry Kauler and probably by rerwin, who is the main architect of 3g workability in puppies.

Other than that, only way to check if Insidious 002 works with your 3g is that you test it and report how it went.

Cheers.

Hey guys, today I bought www.iguleder.info and I'm currently moving all my Puppy stuff there. I'm also recompiling my 2.6.36.2, this time I want the kernel PET to have more drivers and put ndiswrapper/modem drivers/sysprof into the PET as Barry does.

Mouse works with this kernel and all problems with previous kernels are gone.

Went ahead and did a frugal install of 002 on the old P4 test box. Everything is working pretty well except scrolling in Firefox is pretty erratic.SeaMonkey is much smoother.

Insidious 002

#213 Post by sszindian »

Nice, nice program with unlimited possibilities... I would say this Puppy has the potential of going beyond even 520 ! and, one's not at the mercy of the Ubuntu system where versions are 'time-limited' so to speak.

One question, the default FONT seems to be a bit 'thin' and hard to read both at the desktop and on the Internet... How would one go about making 002 have the Font-Look that say... 511 or 520 has?

"Thanks"

Thank you of the feedback. About font. Good catch. I added font-improvements-for-Puppy-Five-0.0.2.pet, which is Sit Heel Speak`s created package with extra fonts and fonts.conf and local.conf hacks. It has font hinting and antialiasing features, which might make fonts look too thin to some.
I have used same package in Snow Puppies also. I havent expiremented with package more profoundly.

Click and drag does not work

#215 Post by Terry H »

I have done a search of the forum and could not find anything similar.

Thanks for a great puppy. I've just done a frugal install of insidious 002 and its working really well. I have one small problem on my laptop. Left click and drag on the track pad does not work. The track pad and buttons work individually but not together. I am not able to Drag and Drop or drag to resize windows. The laptop is Dell D620 Dual Core.

I have done a search of the forum and could not find anything similar.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Terry H. I am clueless. Havent heard that problem before. Of course you can try tuning with menu - desktop settings - Flsynclient, which is the tool for touchpad settings.

Probably wont help, but sometimes my touchpad comes oversensitive. So when I am writing, touchpad autoselects and removes my text all the time.
Only way so far to correct the troublesome behavior has been to remove /root/.flSynclient config file and reboot. Then I launch menu - desktop settings - Flsynclient and reconfigure my touchpad.

Thanks for the quick response. It seemed rather odd as everything else is great. I'll give that a try. I also have had problems with over sensitivity, but I'd learned to live with it.

Naked icons ( ie. Gears Only showing ) on the Desktop

#219 Post by Max Headroom »

Naked icons ( ie. Gears Only showing ) on the Desktop, How do I Fix this Please?

Full install of 002 on a 400 MHz Pentium 2 w/ 384 MB RAMemory.

I Don't Think this an insidious Pup 002 Specific Bug, I've had this Once or twice B4 w/ other Puppies, perhaps a yea' or so ago, I'm Not Sure or wot I did @ the time 2 resolve it, maybe Just Re - install, But if this is going 2 be an intermittent issue I'd Much Rather Understand, wots happening & Howto Fix it!

Any Help or Suggestions, Please!

:?
