Hi gposil

Thanks a million for those pets. I installed them and the application is running. BTW the application is Open System Architect 4.0.0 (ERD software).

Thank you to everybody else for your contributions too.

Bye for now

Hi Folks

I am trying to run an application on Puppy Linux but it requires unixODBC. The error I get on the command line is that libodbc.so.1 cannot be found. Is this library perhaps available for Puppy?

Thanks for any help
Jannetta

This post was returned as a result of my search for an upgraded ALSA. May I thus second this request?

Thanks to everybody who help make Puppy Linux what it is. It is now running on at least 5 of the computers in my house doing everything from serious work to keeping the kids entertained!

Hi Folks

Okay, I've got BOINC running and I have added seti@home. Now I'm trying to run Show Graphics from the BOINC manager but I'm getting an error in the console:

execv: Permission denied

Can someone perhaps help - I don't quite know yet what I'm doing when it comes to BOINC

Thanks
Jannetta

I want to download the boinc pet but it is asking for a username and password. Am I doing something stupid or is there something wrong with the link?

Well now that you have successfully reverted to the original (2D) Xorg configuration, don't worry about OpenChrome at all. Just try the xrandr commands I explained above. xrandr should work just as well with 2D as it does with 3D. Hi tempestuous Using xrandr with the current X setup (ie without ope...

Instead of uninstalling OpenChrome, I suggest you set your xorg.conf file with settings which are known to work with the OpenChrome driver on the HP 2133, such as described here - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HP2133/DisplayConfig810 under "xorg.conf for 3D". Hi tempestuous Th...

Hi Mark That took only 3 minutes and worked perfectly. Thank you SOOOO much for your help. I would like to make a restorable image of my installation as it is now. I tend to fiddle around with settings and I would like to carry on trying getting the external monitor to work which would mean some mor...

I have a full install.

I can't start X at all. I run xorgwizard but it just goes back to the command prompt straight after select Xvesa.

Running xwin also just returns to the command promt.

do you have a link for the openchrome you downloaded? So I could look up, what it changed. Mark This is the link: http://download.mcpup.org/pets/drivers/video/openchrome/xorg_dri_openchrome-7.3-0.2.903.pet I found it in this thread: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=36853&sid=50f...

Does that work?
Mark

No, it doesn't. It just goes back to the command prompt. I can't start X at all.

Hi folks Can someone please give me some advice. I received my HP 2133 mini notebook a couple of days ago and got Puppy 4.1.2 going on it. The only thing I couldn't do was to switch to an external display. Someone suggested I tried the openChrome drivers. I downloaded these from somewhere else on th...

Okay, I found my own answer. So for anyone else who run into the same problem, here is what I have done. Firstly to state the problem. After doing a frugal install to /puppy400 I discovered that all my applications and personalised settings were gone. Step one: I found all the files that Puppy creat...

I copied all the original Puppyfiles into pupp400. I have my icons back on my desktop and I have some of the stuff I installed. It looks like all the official release stuff. However my development environment and LaTeX is not back. It seems that although the two sfs files for these two items are in ...

about 150MB compressed and way larger installed :) Same program, minus help files, Locales etc, same functions. Also the cutdown version is a bit older, but doesn't make much of a difference. Nothing really noticeable. ttuuxxx I have also noticed that it is lightning fast to load (like everything e...

or if you want a smaller version, Open your puppy package manager and on the top it says Official Puppy 4.0, Official puppy3, Official puppy2 click 3 and scroll down to open office and click the cutdown version :) ttuuxxx What exactly would be the difference between the smaller version and the norm...

Hi folks I have just done a frugal install of Puppy. Until now I have used the CD with a pupsave to my hard drive. I sort of assumed that my current settings will be transferred to the frugal install, but it wasn't. Did I miss something during the install? Is there any way I can import or copy over ...

Oh don't worry, I found TFM (and read it) !!

Hi Dingo

Many thanks. Got it! Now for the next stupid question. Can you please point me in the direction of instructions for using an sfs file. (My Puppy experience is now about 2 days old).

Regards
Jannetta
