" A linux novice here,
unsuccessfully trying to get slacko533 online via pppoe."

Why use that?????

Why not Frisbee.....for wireless.????

Or Network wizard for ethernet.

This is 4 wireless but basically the same technique...from Catdude.

Just select Ethernet >>> for cable.

Select >> Test

Select >>> Auto DHCP

Hi oldyeller,

Just do a check that your mic is enabled in Retrovol by right clicking the speaker icon in the tray. There should be 2 choices, front and rear, also make sure the capture is checked and increase the slider accordingly.

You can also do the same thing with alsamixer, the Mixer -generic in the multimedia menu will start alsamixer.

HTH.

Hi Mick

Slacko 5.3.3 has been stable on my Intel Brookdale chip. However, needed to make a small fix to get my Linksys Wusb54 dongle working. Newer versions of the kernel use a defaulted power management mode that will not allow these older Linksys to get a valid IP address from your router. You can see the connection in Puppy's various connection methods - you'll see wlan0 "rtusb2500" module in either the Simple Network Setup, or in the Classic Network Setup. However, the connection simply will not complete, especially if using WPA2 encryption. The fix:

1. To see the issue type "iwconfig" in a terminal. Note that power management is listed as "on".
2. To turn it off, type in "iwconfig wlan0 power off". You should then be able to make a connection. To survive reboot, you need to:
3. Open the file at /etc/rc.d/rc.local with a text editor. Create a new line at the bottom that says "iwconfig wlan0 power off" Save the file.
4. On reboot, your connection should still hold. To test it, type "iwconfig" into the terminal, and power management should be listed as off.

Hope this helps someone else. My situation may be unique - perhaps a combination of older kit, WPA2 encryption on the router, and the fact that I run "AES" encryption on the router (a WRT54G) solely.

Oldyeller,

From the Wary repository: http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-wary5/

I've found a slightly different version-name here -> http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_packages-wary5/glade3_DEV-3.6.7-w5c.pet

[oldyeller]

Hi Tman

I found the same one yesterday I guess I will have to change the specs on this to use it. I have found psync 2.6 in slacko at ibiblio. I also found psync 2.7 ui.pet not sure if I can use this or not.

Thanks

If you're looking for a very small note taking program
(4k uncompressed) try YAD-note.
Just click an orange dot in the tray and the note pops up

5-3.3

Runs like a dream! haven't found any faults with weeks of testing.

Awhile back in this thread I mentioned that 'slideshow-0.1' did NOT work with Slacko... only Puppy version that it hasn't so far... I asked if there was a 'fix' or an alternative? (Never received an answer to that question?)

Anyway...Since then, I found xscreensaver-15 in the official slacko repo but, that says it doesn't support the GL ??? Is there a work-around for this or is there something else one might try? This is about the only feature Slacko lacks (at least for me!)

'Thanks'
