Oh my. Its been more than a year since I used Puppy or browsed the forums (last venture being Ripple & 4.1.1). Well I recently bought the Beagleboard rev C3 after its arrival here in India, courtesy IDA systems. I have just one thing on my mind since I bought the board, and of course it is to ru...

Yeah, cool stuff. Thanks for the link !

Sure thing !

@alcy Don't understand what you wrote under 'System'. What scripts run from /usr/sbin? Need more clarity my friend. The internet connection wizard script, universal installer script etc. Regarding compiz effects, great news that it works on the classmate! That surprises me. You say that you need le...

^^Thanks. That should make things better.

This is really cool stuff ! Great job, dinky . But there are a few issues as far as usability is concerned : ( as experienced on my Classmate ) Compiz/Cairo Dock : Only a few effects should be activated by default in Compiz, since I personally found them interfering with normal working of the system...

Man I have been trying to download the iso, but it just won't. Can someone make a torrent, and seed it for a few hours maybe ? I really need to try this.

EDIT: I am trying to get it using Firefox's dta manager now and it seems to be downloading fine. *weird*.

^^Looks perfect for nature lovers, except for that Start/Menu icon. That looks out of place. But overall, very very organic and good looking !

Puppy 4.0 DOES have problems detecting USB DVD burners.

However, Puppy 4.1(or even 4.1.1) has no such problems. You can try that.

People ARE working.

Go into Gxine Preferences/Configure.

Set the level of of menu detail from beginner to master of the known universe.

You will see a media tab, click on it.

Now in the path for the cd drive enter /dev/sr0 instead of /dev/cdrom.

Then play the CD.

Slashdot.org wont open without an unresponsive script error message.
Any fix ?

I am using Puppy 4 full install.

The new proposed(?) look is pretty cool, and better than the previous ones in terms of being more appealing to people new to Puppy. *But why two clocks ? Maybe the widget could be done away with. *Red is not my choice really, but blue I love. *That Puppy-centric wallpaper looks cool. All in all, thi...

^^It just got released man. Test it, have fun and come back here...you'll find your .pets ! :)

@Vaiopup

You might wanna give Puppy 4.1 a try since it has got a newer kernel and most probably the problem's been fixed in it.

As far as Puppy 4 goes, I don't think a workaround exists except to recompile the kernel.

So, I guess you can try Puppy 4.1 instead.

Dumb Question. Have you tried connecting the drive via USB to a different computer perhaps running a different OS (Windows?) just to verify that the drive itself is not faulty? There have been some reports of problems with the LG drives not being recognized at times but I don't know if this is conf...

^^You need to know what GParted does. And then perform the necessary operations. GParted is a utility that is used to manipulate partitions on a storage device.

I had the same error twice.

Once, when I was using Puppy 3.01 and I forgot to connect the speakers with the computer jack. And second time, it was when I forgot to add support for alsa when I was trying to compile the new kernel.
