After 24 hrs I just had to have another attempt. For an unknown reason I came across this thread: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=644748 Reading the first post I noted: If frugally installed set temporary directory outside of SaveFile . Go to edit > preferences > directories set to some...

First of all a thank you to: greengeek nic007 fabrice_035, and Flash for responding to my post. The personal storage icon was blinking red so I increased its size twice with no change in Audacity's behaviour. As I have a very short fuse with programs that do not operate the way I expect I have gone ...

Why not install BionicPup32 and seamonkey 2.48 (that I am using) - iplayer works a treat.

I am running a frugal install of BionicPup32 with Audacity 2.2.1. I have several .mp3 files containing a number of tracks. What i am trying to do is separate the tracks and name them appropriately. However when trying to open the .mp3 files I get this message: File Error Audacity failed to write to ...

Clasping at straws here - are the Palemoon versions the same?
Any particular reason you are using Palemoon and not another browser?

Try Applications menu->Exit->Restart Graphical Server
This should make the graphical server use the new setting.

That was the "thing" I did not try!

Thank you.

Thanks for the tips - I never, ever use the scroll wheel though. OK. While on the subject of colours how do I make the speaker symbol a nice green for instance. I have tried "everything" but not the correct "thing" obviously! Currently it is black on black - I know where it is bu...

Thank you. Worked a treat!

s243a, With earlier versions of puppy it was a simple matter of editing /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall. I will investigate my router settings. EDIT: It would seem that the firewall script in this version of puppy does not need to be amended to prevent response to pings. I did not change any router settings. ...

I have no /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall file even though it shows as firewall enabled. I would like to edit the file so there is no response to pings.

I am now using the Optiplex 9020 SFF full time and have a frugal install of BionicPup32. As the title says the volume slider does not change the volume - the only effect is that, depending on the "level", sometimes there is sound and other times silence. Running alsamixer gives: Card: HDA ...

More questions. 1. I have no /etc/rc.d/rc.firewall file even though it shows as firewall enabled. I would like to edit the file so there is no response to pings. 2. When I hover the mouse cursor over the speaker icon I get a reading of 65295% and the slider is unresponsive. How do I get the correct ...

Another question.
When I boot I get the desktop with one resolution then after a few seconds I get the desktop with my preferred resolution. Is there a way to boot straight into my preferred resolution?

Thank you. That is the sfs that I have been using all these years - I simply copy the games (that I use), etc to the hdd. I copied all the files again and noticed that not only did I get a lot of "overwrite" messages there were quite a few "merge content" messages as well. Anyway...

I am trying to get freecell running on BionicPup but no joy. # freecell Error in startup script: extra characters after close-brace while executing "variable WinRegToISO639 [dict create {expand}{ 01 ar 0401 ar_SA 0801 ar_IQ 0c01 ar_EG 1001 ar_LY 1401 ar_DZ 1801 ar_MA 1c01 ar_..." (in names...

Yes. I see that the thread has already been marked "Solved".

bigpup, Thank you.

jafadmin, I noticed that I did format the drive ext4 and wondered if that could be the cause. Having said that I am not going to go through the rigamarole of reformatting to ext3 just to find out that 5.2.8 "may" work. bigpup, I downloaded BionicPup 32 bit - to be compatible with this mach...

bigpup, Sorry for not addressing your questions above - I thought I would take another route and install 5.2.8 to another directory on the SSD letting the install do everything - or so I thought. Create a MBR, let Grub installer do its thing and reboot. No prize for guessing that the new install doe...

jafadmin, PMEDIA is blank on this working machine. I have tried using
pmedia=atahd - no change, and
pmedia=ataflash - again no change.

bigpup, As far as I know it is just standard Grub, and I used another install of puppy to copy the files.
