(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hello,
Quick post from my car in front of a closed coffee shop....
@jaymos,
Wow, nice machine dude...If you knew what I built PAW on...LOL
Unfortunately, I dont have access to an SATA machine ATM, however, I might be able to borrow one for "Testing", as is how I discovered this problem myself recently...(Hey, gotta get some return for fixing those "Doze" problems..)

I am currently running PAW on my Wifes Vista machine, with SATA drives, and it sees them correctly, however, I have the zdrv301.sfs (renamed to 4.12) mounted with it, for Video reasons..( A cludgy fix I admit, alas...it works....) as she needs PAW to run on it... NOW..LOL...Gotta keep her off the "Doze"...
So, hey, until I figure it out, you might try it....

OK..gotta run.....

really digging Xfce 4.6 at first, it looks the same as the last version but there really are quite a bunch of improvements. for the non techie like me lots of things are more automated than Jwm and the pet is only 4mb. recently I was playing with Woof which uses the Ubuntu repositories. this gives you access to basically anything that you can get with Ubuntu. wow, what a knockout punch combination! theoretically you can install the Ubuntu desktop and use all the Gnome stuff with the convenience of multi-session live discs. Puppy is becoming very mature very quickly. small and quick for those who want that and flexible enough to run packages from the big boys! if you addressed the issue of color management, you'd be way ahead of all the Linuxes.
sorry to hear of your troubles , hoping things get back to normal for you asap!

YES!!! THANK YOU!!!! Ive been looking for a live cd like this for ages!
Finally I can keep it on my flash drive and use Blender anywhere. But It would be cool if you could add some music composition like LMMS,a non linear video editor, Blender 2.49 if it isn't already and the new Yafaray.

Hi Jay,

With .asia offline I made a copy of PAW_RC-2 here

http://puppylinux.ca/tpp/puppyluvr/

Cheers,
Eric

Eric, Thanks...

Chinook, Thank you too...
The Blender in PAW is 248, hope thats close enough...
As for Video and Audio editing, PAW is pretty full as it is!!
For Video editing, try Mediapup...
For Audio editing, try Pupitup, or the Puppy DAW.
...Jay...

I'll check it out. Think I'm going to try to put my own together again. Which reminds me. A while ago when I was new to puppy I used an app that gave a list of installed packages, then turned the package selected to a dotpet. Anyone know where it is or what its called?

Jay, an additional download mirror for PAW RC-2 and MD5:

Hiya runtt....my pleasure....i love Puppy and have a great deal of respect for all the developers and contributors so, since i'm about as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike at the programming side of things, i thought i could stay outta trouble by making a contribution in another way

My site stats show bandwidth usage of nearly 40GB so far this month, (which i imagine would be bugger-all for more established sites, such as Eric's), but the happy thing about that is that it equates to only a fairly small % of my allowance, so....download to your heart's content, fellow pupsters....and i promise to gradually add more Puppy goodies....WOOF!!

Hello russoodle, and Thank You so much!!
Your site looks great..And a good mirror always helps.

As soon as .asia is back up, I have a Multi-pup DVD ISO to upload..
It will probable see little bandwidth, as it is just under 1 gb, but I have had several requests that I post it..Its called Editpup, and contains PAW, Pupitup, and Mediapup, and a grub boot menu..

After its up, and if you`re interested, let me know...

puppyluvr - thanks! Wouldn't win any awards for graphic design or coding html and css but i sure get a kick out of having a play around with it

Editpup sounds good with what you've included, an excellent multi-media compilation...maybe the interest will pleasantly surprise you, even at that file-size, because those with good connections would probably consider it a more efficient way for them to get their paws on the whole three puplets, especially with the grub boot menu included to make things too easy!

Anyway, i'd be pleased to host it any time you're ready - i know .asia's down until the beginning of July, but if you want to upload it to my server in the meantime, that's no problem, i'll PM or email you the ftp details...woof!

Hello there,
This morning (GMT +2 Time Zone) I downloaded, and installed PAW. One thing that I can't get right is the ethernet connection. I'm sure that my on -board nic card is working as I had no problems on other Puppy distros.
my card is a gigabit one using a nvidia driver On other distros it just installs.
What am I to do?

It's about time time to see the final version, I believe.

What's up?

I wonder if Jay is still sitting outside
coffee shops to get his connection?

May be the cause of the delay . . .

I got a message from Jay last monday,He has a lot going on on the home front right now but he says he is getting back to working on puppy and posting in the forum. Just hag on!!!

Hmm.. I have tried PAW and the wings 3d version.

Both of them boots but only on xvesa, not xorg.

And I believe it's my computer but both wings 3d don't work. Only Blender.

PAW missed home directory which is C: in Windoze.

No sound. No wireless.

It's all my computer's fault but any copout?

Hello,
Yes, after much detour and disaster, the Puppyluvr has returned...
It may take a minute to get up to speed, as I basically have not touched a computer in 6 months..But the Puppy bites deep...
PAW needs finishing, even if the reason for its creation has gone...And I`ve missed a few version upgrades...Am I to understand Barry is once again at the helm?...So much catching up to do, but moving calls, and with twin 16 year old girls and a 3 year old son, I am still a busy man..But always room for a little Puppy..
So, yea, here I be...LOL.. I`ll still be off and on for a few days, lots of (re)setting up to do...Be back to annoy y`all later...


A wise man once said....nothing...
Wise indeed...

welcome back, hope everything's Ok.

Hello,
puppyiso, did you check the md5sum of your D/L..
It should be :
ae70ff099b7a30021a916d98d4e1c3cf PAW_RC-2.iso

That matches this ISO from the link in my sig..
http://puppylinux.ca/members/Puppyluvr/PAW_RC-2.iso

PAW has extensive Video and Wireless drivers, and has always worked fine for me...
Maybe if you turn off compositing...(see first page of this thread) xorg will work for you..
Getting xorg up and running should remove a lot of your issues, I think...
What Video card have you got???

Hello, puppyluvr, Good to hear from you.

The notebook I tried is in a different city 3, 4 hours away bu car.

I believe it is ATI video card. Being a netbook, it must have a crappy video card.

I can't check the md here. I will redownload and check.

Thank you.

John
