Well, this is the strangest thing that has happened to me so far in Puppy:
I just started the PC with Puppy 5.2.8 CD, downloaded Chromium, and when I tried to use the keyboard, it was dead. Checked cables and connections: everything was OK. Reboot to my HDD Distro: PCLinuxOS LXDE 2011-09, and keyboard was normal. Then reboot with my old Puppy 5.2 CD, and keyboard was normal. Then again reboot with Puppy 5.2.8 and keyboard was dead.
I was thinking that this might be the opportunity to move to Slacko 5.3, but after a minute thought about personalization done so far with my Puppy 5.2.8 save-file, I decided to make this post.
I really have no idea, even of how will I apply any suggestions you might have if I don't have access to my keyboard in Puppy 5.2.8?
This is my first really really first help call in this forum. I consider myself a Linux newbie, but I have done many things so far in my 18 months using Linux with Ubuntu 10.04, Puppy Linux 5.2 and 5.28, and PCLinuxOS LXDE.
The worst that I can have is deleting my Puppy 5.2.8 save-file and moving to Slacko 5.3 or Light House Mariner 5.12 or any best suggestion for Puppys you might have. Anny suggestions are very welcome. Thank you.

Hello,
Did you try uninstalling Chromium??

With Lupu-528...

And if/when using a lupusave file being held on a USB device [Flash Drive?]

There are problems being experienced in these circumstances, by some people.

In my case the sound is disabled [I have both on-board, plus a card in use].

A fix is being sought, and has probably been found.
playdayz supplied me [in a PM] with two ISO's = test02 & test03, and both do not display the problem.
I have reported that in the thread, but so far no response.

Perhaps you should report your Lupu-528 problem in the thread.

Sylvander: My lupusave is held in HDD.
From the link provided in your post (http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=588745&sid=763399169d9ef45f9f229027db055306#588745)
I noticed from a post there by ferro10n “Sorry, I'm afraid this off-topic is taking space from developers trying to fix an important bug. If you still have any questions please start a new post in the beginners section.”
In my case, I consider myself a Linux newbie. Should I post in that thread my keyboard problem with Puppy 5.2.8 (updated 002)? In my humble opinion a bug with a keyboard is important.

I continued installing packages, and problem persisted. I decided to delete my lupu-save for Puppy 5.2.8 and I am now using Slacko 5.3. May be lupu-save was corrupted. Should I mark this thread "solved"?

No...

I wouldn't consider it solved.

Not yet anyway.
