Hi bigpup, Firstly, my thanks for answering my post so quickly and with a very helpful reply. My quirky image was indeed out-of-date (version 8.1) though I had installed the service packs to bring it up to the current 8.4 but by that time the settings for sound had been s****** :-) Following your li...

Hi folks, I just discovered quirky puppy for the raspberry pi a few weeks ago. Installation seems to go well except for sound which works until I perform the first re-boot following installation. I am using a HDMI tv as a monitor and sound is working ok with Raspbian Jessie so I am confident both th...

Hi Flash, bigpup & peterw, Many thanks for taking the time to reply and for your feedback. Its a little disturbing that no formal updating process exists for most puppies though I must admit I have never had any security issues that I am aware of with puppy Linux and I will continue to use it si...

Hi folks, We have been using various flavours of puppy linux here for the past 8 years and enjoy the lightweight and "snappy" response of puppy linux but... For the past couple of years I have also been playing with a raspberrypi (which also runs under a version of linux based on debian) a...

Hi npierce, Just a few lines to say thanks for responding to my earlier question about Hiawatha. I would never have thought of saving/editing the system generated error page in that way, cool! It worked a treat. I was also pleased to learn that the user generated custom error page can be straight ht...

Hi folks, I wonder if any of you have used or currently use Hiawatha for serving web-pages? Hiawatha has been running here on an old PC with puppy-linux for over 6 months now and aside from a few minor problems at the start it has performed very well. Question: This may seem a silly question but I n...

Hi John Doe, L18L & the list, Thank-you both for your replies, it prompted me to re-check everything again step-by-step. I found the problem after much head scratching and a few **** words :-) When right clicking the firewall icon in the bottom right of my puppy server screen it would offer opti...

Hi folks, I hate to ask but I wonder if anyone can offer any networking advice? I recently set-up hiawatha in Puppy 528 with a view to using one of my machines to host web-pages on my local wireless network. I am fairly sure the configuration of hiawatha is set correctly. But do I need to do anythin...

Hi Lobster & John Doe, Thankyou both for taking the time to respond and for both pointing me in the direction of Hiawatha. This is exactly what I was looking for though I see I need to learn a little more about how things work before I can get it up-and-running the way I want. I downloaded the i...

Hi everyone, Been using puppy in various forms for a few years now and have mastered a few basics such as multi-boot systems and installing additional software etc and recently became hooked on the idea of having my own small scale home server. My enthusiasm was further enhanced by the discovery of ...

Hello again, My special thanks to both chrome307 and Terryphi for taking the time to respond to my question about Wi-Fi cards which would work straight out of the box with Puppy. You have both given me options to look at here in the UK. I am now "spoilt" for choice :-) Thanks again and bes...

Hi Chrome307 and the list, Many thanks for the repy and the two very valid questions. Chrome307 wrote: Are you looking for one that works 'straight out the box' or a device that you can use with the Windows driver files? Also are you looking for a PCI card or a USB Wifi adapter? ***** End quote ****...

Good afternoon to everyone on the list, I wonder if anyone can help? I have been using Puppy for a couple of years now (using Puppy 5.1 at the moment) and have been very pleased with its performance on older hardware with only a few minor problems cropping up from time to time. One problem I have ne...

Hi again, Many thanks "disciple" for the advice. Unfortunately the gxine player is not giving me an option to select which sound system to use. I have also noticed that "Puppy Volume mixer" appears to have the same problem, that is I can move the slider but it has no effect, as s...

Hi everyone, I am new to Linux and after trying several distros and "Live" disks I foinally found "Puppy" and its great. As a newbie I got into all kinds of trouble including "my soundcards not working" but after some patient trawling of this forums archive and a trip t...
