aarf, jemimah all of you.

Thanks for puppeee rc7 I have frugal install dual booting with Win7 on my Acer D250 and all seems to work just fine.

Have not tested Wifi due to lack of hotspot.

I had to borrow a wine pet for Quirky to get Spotify going and I also installed Q 1.0 to compare with Puppeee.

Both works good.

Both seems to write to the HDD each 30 second.

What is that about?

have downloaded java sfs from http://puppeee.com/files/sfs/java_jre1.6.sfs and configured the boot manager to load it, restarted and now want to configure either chrome or opera 10.60 to use the java sfs but cant see where to do it.

with coolpups help now have java working in opera

Go to: Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Content
Tick Enable Plugins
Click Plug-in options

or

Menu>Settings > Preferences > Advanced > Content
Tick Enable Plugins
Click Plug-in options

To be able to see Tools, click Show Menu Bar

from there click "Change path" button add additional path
/opt/jre1.6.0_21/lib/i386/

[aarf]

the script that runs opera has a bunch of probable java paths - maybe it can be added there?

Hi, how do I get horizontal scrolling using the touchpad working? I have an EeePC701 running Puppeee 4.3.1.

Also, I have a Logitech Nano VX220 wireless mouse which I would also like to get the horizontal scrolling working for, please.

Thanks, Simon

PS Sorry for all the empty threads I've made by mistake. Mods, feel free to remove them.

simon1482. Adjusting touchpad, you should use FlSynclient. Efficient tool.

hi,

i just updated to rc7 on my eeepc900. works great (again!), but i seem to miss the package installer icon on the desktop.
also not available in menus. so, where did it go?

@mod: this post replaces http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=57832

tnx.

you can find it here /usr/share/applications/Puppy-package-manager.desktop

in the menu it should be under system

Running with beta 7 I just added the java sfs file and tried to access several java enabled web pages without any luck.

I finally got it to work by creating the plugins directory for chrome, which was not present, and adding a soft link to the java plugins shared library. Here are the commands:


mkdir /opt/google/chrome/plugins
cd /opt/google/chrome/plugins
ln -s /opt/jre1.6.0_21/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so .

Hope this helps someone else.

(BTW, thanks so much for the emacs sfs. Now I don't have to translate every edit I start to type in)

Picasa comes with wine, but I didn't get around to checking if it can be used with other stuff yet so I didn't add wine to the menu. I will make a wine sfs this week probably.

I was going to build it from the Wine here: http://code.google.com/p/puppy-developm ... loads/list

That's pretty normal for Linux, and fairly difficult to fix. You can use Ramboot if it bothers you.

Hmm not sure where it went.

Fix it by editing /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin and add

Code: Select all

  <icon x="224" y="32" label="install">/usr/sbin/dotpup</icon>

inside the <pinboard> tags. Also there is a /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin.orig file that may work if you copy it to /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin.

I guess you talk about the one made by Gyro?

One need to change to a special made initread.

I only have 1GB of RAM on my ACER. Playing lot of youtube can fill it up easily I guess

[jemimah]

Puppeee and Fluppy have Ramboot supported out of the box. It's on the boot menu.

[nooby]

Ahh that is super!

You mention about it in a post

If waiting for it to save on shutdown is irritating, check out the ramboot option - which loads everything into RAM, and doesn't try to save on shutdown.

I try to find where you explain how to activate it. Does one add pfix=ramboot to the kernel line?

How does one save changes to pupsave then. does that mode add a save button?

[jemimah]

To get the boot menu, you need to create a bootable stick by following the directions on the Puppeee website. Otherwise Ramboot is activated by using ramboot=1.

There is no way to save in Ramboot. First set up your system how you want it, then ramboot when you don't need to save. If you need to make changes, just boot normally.

You need to keep the size of your save file small enough to fit into ram or it won't work.

[nooby]

ramboot=1 only works for linux formatted hdd not for dual booting with Win7 on Acer D250 due to NTFS .

Error! Failed to boot with that boot code but boots normally when edit it out again.

I am in puppeee now.

Another question. Temp always says 27C and that seems unrealistic to me because it feels like 40C or earmer to my hand.

Is Acer D250 known to not be able to give right readings?formatting.
