Pemasu, I'd like to get your opinion on something. As I posted earlier in
this thread, your exprimo was unusual in that the usual fix for the
wireless bug didn't work. I had to place a fix in the startup group so
that power mgnt is turned off after X starts and not before. People have
written instructions to place the fix in /etc/rc.local which occurs before
X starts ... and this is what did not work in your exprimo.
What I did recently is create a text file having the single line:
iwconfig wlan0 power off
and then use permissions to make the file a executeable script which
I place in /root/startup This has worked on all pups tested so far. In
any event it's a improvement over the past instructions.
My question has to do with the best way of making this temporary fix
public. I don't want to advise people to download a script from me since
I'm not one of the so-called trusted sources (the malicious code issue).
So I'm inclined to write a instruction that even newbies should be able to
follow. It would be simpler for people though if someone like yourself
would create a pet that automatically copies the script to /root/startup
and also executes the script. Users would be advised to install the pet
prior to attempting to connect the first time and prior to any kind of
installation ... and that's all certain wireless users would have to do.
Hello,
always happy of this Puppy, and always a newbie question.
Got now openbox and like to install "tint2_with_menu".
So I downloaded it (strangely the link is tint2_with_menu-0.11.gz, so I rename it tint2_with_menu-0.11.pet and that's right.
So, I go to ~/.config/tint2/ and open : tint2rc
write the line : wm_menu = 1 in place of
wm_menu = 0
Since Precise 372 doesn't like this box http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 863#685863 I decided to try Exprimo 5.X.3.6.2.1. Working fine.
Internet and sound good on initial boot......booted to an incorrect 1400x1050 display but xorgwizard made it easy to get to the correct 1440x900 resolution.

Packages manager : repository Debian updated with pet from forum francophone (Medor) dépôts Ubuntu Medor provides pet for debian too.
puppy_squeeze_5.X.3.6.2.1.sfs: 131 M is on a pendrive with Ubuntu, Debian, Suse, Mint and Fedora.
Our Puppy Linux are so small, but they do as much, perhaps more with 130 MBs than these Huge OS.
bravo Puppy, keep this way. These big Linux are so useful that the pendrive was forgotten in its box.. (2012 !). I have The DVD to (multiboot)
