Puppy on the Acer Aspire One...

[1050rat]

Hi all and the drinks are on me.....

I recently switched from Ubuntu Netbook Remix to Puppy and am enjoying the experience so far (even after locking myself out tonight at boot login and having to reinstall to fix my inability to read instructions/login as root woofwoof/ then change password as required doh..)

I have but three wishes to make my puppy experience (house trained?) complete :

1 To get the touchpad vertical window scroll facility working again
2 To get my Fn volume arrow up / down keys working again
3 To get the bast**d son of a webcam Acer Crystal Eye functioning in Skype where currently a test shows nothing even in guvcview it won't work. I have had it working but only for brief spells and then it kinda goes off....;-(

Does anyone have any experience of these issues on the AAO using the latest version of Puppy 5.2.5 they could help me with / point me in the right direction.

Many thanks

AAOis very many different computers. I have two. Acer AAO D250 and D255 and them behave very differently to OS.

I need to use nosmp on Lupu 525 to trust that it boots each time.

Password and log in. I've used puppy since at least 2008 and have never had to do such. I guess you are talking full install and setting a password for to booting in then. I have no idea if that is common or not?

Did you try Fluppy?

We had an ACERone pup too

but Fluppy is pretty good.

I have also replaced recent unity-based Ubuntu with Fluppy013 pupplet.
No bloatware anymore.
