All right - rank beginner time! Can anyone help me install a network printer? I'm working with Dingo on my laptop, and I want to connect over my home wireless network to use my printer, which is connected to our desktop which runs Windows XP. Is that possible, and if so, how? If you could keep it si...

IT WORKS! Now I've got two battery meters, and they both work. Thank you, oh, thank you!

Take note, kilakev.

I've done some looking on my own, and it appears that there is a general problem with the Compaq Presario 1200 and Linux. The machine was engineered to house Windows, and the BIOS doesn't play well with Linux in any form. Microsoft even had to issue a patch for XP before it would recognize the batte...

I have no subdirectory marked "acpi" in /proc.

"modprobe ac" & "modprobe battery" are already in rc.local as entries. I think I added both modules earlier in the whole process. I've checked through my Windows partition, by the way, and I've got an acpi battery. I'll give conky a shot, although it doesn't seem to be the mo...

I'm running Dingo on a Compaq Presario 1200, and I've tried all the configurations mentioned, and two different battery monitors. It appears that the monitors work fine, but the OS is just not recognizing my battery. I'd send you the results of running lsmod, but the copy function you've discussed i...

I've confused you as to my intention. I don't want to disable the battery monitor. I actually want to monitor my battery, so as to know how much power I have left when using my laptop. That doesn't seem to have been addressed in any of the threads I've read so far.

I've searched the forum for details on this one, but to no avail. I'm using Puppy 4.0 on a Compaq Presario 1200 laptop, and I've put asapm battery monitor in my startup. Problem is, it doesn't recognize the battery. When I unplug the laptop, the monitor doesn't change from the AC setting. I don't kn...

Still don't know what I did, but I did work out a simple way to fix it (had to be simple). I restarted from the CD and copied the .jwmrc file from the root folder over to the root folder on the hard drive. Bob's yer uncle, my menu's back.

No version. This is my first install.

What is a WM?

Alas, no luck with fixmenus. Did I inadvertantly uninstall something important?[/u]

I've installed Linux Puppy 4 to my Compaq Presario 1200 laptop, and in the course of upgrading it, I've inadvertently caused my whole menu to disappear. There is only help (which isn't) and shutdown. The desktop icons are still there, but I've lost access to most of the applicaitons. Can anyone help...
