Hello Barry

Thanks for your quick reply.

I did as you suggested,
and copied: /etc/modules/DOTconfig-K2.6.31.14-UNIPROC-IDE-25JAN2011
to /usr/src/linux-2.6.31.14/.config
Then exited to prompt and did:

I think I'm experiencing the same sound issue reported by "zekebaby" earlier in this thread. Intel soundcard, after creation of new savefile, sound and sound tray icon are fine for about 5-10 boots. Then, the tray icon disappears and I have no sound. Tried running alsawizard to no avail.

I can still see "retrovol" in the multimedia menu, but when I click on it, nothing happens. Also tried what seemed to work for zekebaby, deleting /dev/snd, and rebooting, but did not seem to work.

Don't seem to have this particular sound issue with either 4.3.1, or with LuPu 5.1.1 or LuPu 5.2.

If I have a window open in Wary 51, and then move it too close to the edge of the screen, it pops over to the other side. Is there a way to prevent this? Puppy 431 doesn't do this, and I much prefer it that way.

Hmm, just a few dozen questions here.

1) if one version of jwm does it and another doesn't, wouldn't this likely be a configurable feature?
2) how might one configure it?
3) how do I know what version I am currently running?
4) where does one find the appropriate software to install if 492 is to be run instead?
5) how does one install same?

There are various pets available in the repositories for jwm, but they seem to be labeled 1.0, 2.0, etc. There are also separate pets for jwmconfig. What all it needed and how does one install?

I have read the online material on configuring jwm, but see nothing obvious in it that relates to this particular problem. I edit my .jwmrc file quite a bit on occasion, but I've never seen anything in it that would prevent the flip-flop of the window.

It seems wrong to install the latest distro and then deliberately retrograde it. Is there not another fix?

Thanks,
BS

I had a vexing but hopefully temporary problem with Wary last week, on my own machine; once, when I had about three or four apps open at the same time, my cursor disappeared and wouldn't work even though I could sometimes see where it was by its effect on the buttons of the apps I had open. A reboot cured this for the time being, but it'd be nice to solve it once and for all.

Best,

I have found an issue that needs the developers to review and explain with PUPs system setup on a RAM.
Seems that several of us are running 4GB RAM and PUPs are NOT using or reporting incorrectly.;

See this.

Hope this helps

barry, has said previously Embarassed

(i got caught once before with firefox and the last wary) that dbus and dbus-glib aren't there by default. Pet's are available and can be found if you want them, at:

I make a reference to post from Country Bumkin on March 1st "uSB Mouse failure on full install".

My ZTE MF627 3G usb modem is not recognized when I boot from a Wary 5.1.1 full install, but works perfectly if I boot from the liveCD.

When I run 'lsusb':
- in liveCD mode, I get the list of my two USB ports;
- in full install mode, the result is nil as there is no output at all and I'm back to the command line prompt.

It is well beyond my knowledge to understand what is happening, but I volunteer to perform any test you might suggest to troubleshoot this issue.

Does anyone know why 5.1 won't recognize that a hard drive is installed?

Use an IBM A20P everything works out of the box great other than the fact that either 5.1 Wary or Lucid 5.2 see my hard drive....Gparted sees nothing when running live. Bug? Or is there a fix?

Thx...

wary-511-k2.6.32.28.iso Old Toshiba laptop, no hdd, 256mb ram, pendrive 4gb. Pupsavefile corruption trouble on usb install, (sound icon dissapaired, Alsamixer gives input/output error). Corruption after a crash, a (barbarian) poweroff, fsck or no cause at all. I tried with both kind of upsavefiles, with the native usb installer, with the usb install of the generic installer, with unetbootin, tried to backup pupsavefile..... No solution for the corruption issue of the pupsavefile. I worked nearly a week on it (I had to achieve this).
Solved it with frugal install on ext3 partition and saving to filessystem, no pupsavefile. Installed Pupsaveconfig pet and configured it to save only manual, not even saving session by shutdown. 1gb of swap partition on the same pendrive for viewing online videos. It works fine, very fast and seems stable. Even after crashes, fsck or button-poweroff it works fine with no corruption.
Viewing Powerpoint slides only possible online, Libreoffice too heavy for this h.w., no working browser plugin, no decent working viewer for puppi, Wine + Powerpointviewer is too heavy for this h.w.

Only Puppi saved this h.w. from scrap, tried other Linux distros, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, DSL, old and new, mimimal, maximal, .....didn´t work or were too slow. Best Puppi: Wary
Thank you.
