I was wondering if there is DNS changing utility available.

I was wondering if there is DNS changing utility available.

I seem to remember that JameBond made a PET for DNSMASQ earlier this year. This might be useful for your needs.
Edited: After review, this might be an overkill. It does so much more and requires configuration file changes that are probably not setup for your needs.

Hope this helps.

"For your Intel video card, GeForce 6800 LE we think the best add-on driver is Lucid511_nvidia-260.19.12 driver. (...)"

That is wrong, and did not happen in 256 or 257.

Yes. Was this an update or a fresh install. If it was an update can you do a fresh install, with pfix=ram? Thanks.

Well, originally it was a fresh install as an ISO burned to DVD. It was the fresh install which recommended the nvidia, which I then installed. Then we communicated and I removed the nvidia and installed the Xorg High, which is where I am now, as I write this.

If I go to Quickpet v4.3 now, under the changed and working driver, I still get the wrong video detection and wrong recommendation. Fresh or unfresh, that has not changed.

Lupu 521 RC

I noticed when I installed the latest Seamonkey from quickpet it said it would put it in the Document category when in fact it put it into the Internet one as it should. The PET package probably needs fixing as it might be confusing for some.

I also noticed the Seamonkey HTML editor is under Documents.

Otherwise it's all working very nicely here.

Did another manual frugal upgrade from 520 to 521 RC...... no problems. All previously installed apps still work, even Trinity. Booted right into it on initial boot.

Trinity??? Where did you get it? Is there an SFS for it? I totally want it!

[Dave_B]

I have a frugal install of 257 - 5.21 later today..
I reduced the volume to zero and after a reboot, the Retrovol icon has disappeared from the tray. This has happened twice. How do I retrieve the icon? Is this unique to me? Will this happen in 5.21?

Forgot to add that my sound is now muted and I don't know how to fix it...

You need the 2 sfs files from here

Probably would be a good idea to read through this thread for some good tips on Puppy/Trinity

EudoraOSE1 running nicely - always the favourite of professionals; downside is I'll have to adjust it's defective dictionary one more time!

@Sage, please explain the dictionary comment, does it relate to Eudora? or 521 as there is nothing been mentioned in the Eudora Bugs Topic about it, else I would have already chased it up.

regards

No real issues on any of my 521 RC installs..... been using the frugal install on my main box primarily and things are just working.

Can you do one more thing please? Open a terminal and enter lspci and then copy the VGA Compatible Device line to a message. (To copy from a terminal left-click, drag to select and then *middle-button* to paste.)

Folks, the GeForce 6800 LE is listed as a nvidia 0x00C2 in my specs sheets, not Intel so the nvidia driver I think would be right!

@RandSec, can you go here:

Choose "VGA Compatable Controller"

"Put" what appears in the box below into your response, it may help.

If it is *really* an nvidia and not an error in the look-up table

I think it is probably an Intel chipset and the Xorg_High will work to give Open GL (GLX Graphics), but the Nivida pet would install but not do anything.

However, if it is an nvida chipset, then the nv driver will work with Xorg_High, just not very well. The Nvidia pet would also work, though, in that case.

For anyone interested the same is true of radeon graphics from ATI. Xorg_High will work as an open source solution, and work well enough to use--but not be able to do some things, Really Slick Screensavers, for instance. But the ati catalyst driver does it all.
.

[bigpup]

On a modern Core i3 processor, which has on-chip video, with both 256 and 257, Puppy Video Wizard probing suggested the Xorg High driver. In contrast, 521RC, on the exact same equipment, finds "GeForce 6800 LE" and recommends the nvidia driver. That driver does seem to work, but a last-minute driver change seems a little disturbing.

Bizarre. It was not anything intentional--things are very much inter-related and a change in one place can have unpredicted consequences. After you install the Nvidia driver can you open a terminal and type "glxgears"?

Here it is:

# glxgears
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual

Or go to System -> Hardinfo and see what it says for Display. Thanks.

And here it is:

-Computer-
Processor : 4x Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU 540 @ 3.07GHz
Memory : 3041MB (396MB used)
Operating System : Puppy Linux 0.52
User Name : root (root)
Date/Time : Mon 28 Mar 2011 12:40:10 PM CDT
-Display-
Resolution : 1024x768 pixels
OpenGL Renderer : Unknown

-Multimedia-

Puppy Package Manager reports the installed driver:

Lucid511_nvidia-260.19.12-k2.6.33.2

You have to make sure you run Xorgwizard after installing a new video driver.
Must select that new driver in Xorgwizard for it to be used.

Example:
Downloaded and installed the Nvidia driver for my video card.
Did not run Xorgwizard.
Driver shows installed.
Glxgears shows this error when run.

Thanks for the help on copy/paste in a terminal!

This is the closest I have:

I do not know how to cut/paste the box, and I cannot even capture it line by line. Here is the PCI Devices selection line which selects the box:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 12)

The box has:

Name Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 12)
Class VGA compatible controller
Bus, Device, Function 0, 2, 0
Vendor Intel (www.intel.com)

and so on.

install yad.pet and paste the code into a script.

Thanks RandSec, that is enough, but that does confuse things a bit.

Folks, Just found this url:http://www.h-node.com/videocards/view/e ... r--rev-12-, that may explain the problem, the last sentance is the important one, ?does our i915 driver contain the kernal module as well, otherwise the Intel driver with xorg-high would be "best fit".

The Ubunti forum has a couple of topics on it too, not closed their either.

The OpenSuSE forum has gone further: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get- ... phics.html and contains other url pointers that may help.
This is the most important one:http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Intel_HD_Graphics!
