Yes, in konqueror file manager you can use Right click -> Open with then in command box put "filemnt"
If you use rox it has usual puppy file associations.

Can't Access Sites with Firefox

#138 Post by davec51 »

With KDPup and Firefox 3.6.10 I can't access some internet pages; in particular, links in Ebay and other commercial sites. I get a message that the server cannot connect. I never had this problem with other Puppies or with Firefox. Does KDPup come with some sort of firewall or other security device, and how do I turn it off?

Uh oh, um, no, there's no firewall by default but I did add the hosts file that blocks ads and similar stuff, try to replace it and see if those sites work then, here, these are contents of puppy's original hosts file:

Code: Select all

127.0.0.1 localhost puppypc
192.168.1.1 pc2
192.168.1.2 pc3
192.168.1.3 pc4
hosts file location is in /etc/hosts

Graphics not detected properly on Asus 1201T

#141 Post by bwh1969 »

The screen has a resolution of 1366x768 with a RS780M/RS780MN Radeon HD 3200 Graphics controller. It would not start X: I did manage to get X to start by replacing /etc/X11 contents with the contents that were created on Puppy511 Lucid. This got me to a 1024x768 screen maximum even though the xorg.conf listed the 1366x768 as the only option using the "radeon" driver.

FYI - just so if you work on a later release. I fiddled with it for a while and it looks great except the lower res sort of ruins it.

Thanks bwh1969, not sure what causes it but I'll remember that.

Thanks for kdpup. It is great having pup and kde3 in the same distro. Is there a way to install Seamonkey? I installed sm 1.1.18 and had a long list of missing dependencies and no sign of Seamonkey.
Cheers

Yes sure I guess precompiled tarball from their site should work, 2.0.10 is newest seamonkey version.

That worked, but about the time I tried to edit the start menu the keyboard plug came out. I now have an icon in the system tray. Then I figured out the plug was out. Also have an exti link on the desktop.

Hi CosmicCat I'm sorry that it doesn't work for you.
Do you have any swap besides that memory?
Try the lite iso maybe if not, full might be too big to load in 512 MB if you don't have swap.
Frankly no idea about scsi drivers I based this onto dpup 484.
New lupu has scsi drivers iso maybe you can use it with iguleder's trinity sfs to get kde desktop.
Good that kde apps work, yeah I made separate pet for kdelibs because then you can get most additional kde applications working.
Thanks for report, might be usefull if osmeone has same specs machine.

Hi dejan555
Thanks for the suggestion. Some time ago I had tried KDPUP on another machine, slightly more powerful (similar motherboard, nvidia based graphic card and same amount of memory) with the same result. If it can be a problem of memory , I’ll try KDPUP on a more powerful PC of a friend of mine (and attract one more to the magic of Puppy Linux).
In addition I’ll try the lite version as soon as I can and I’ll submit a report

I am running kdpup 484 on 768mb mem. Also I am trying the light version on less memory, how can additional apps be installed in the light version? Vector linux kde classic live can be run and installed with 256 mb mem. It looks good also, but of course does not have the puppy extra's.
Cheers

you can install most kde apps from debian lenny repo debs for kde 3 since all core kde libs are in light desktop. If you have some specific requests I might repackage it as pet.

Cool, btw in rox filer options you can setup any backround color and then you just wipe out wallpaper, e.g.

Right click on any icon->Backdrop->Clear
Right click on any icon->Rox Filer->Options->Under Pinboard Tab Set Background color

;)
