You've been around for sometime now, and you still seem to miss the point that Puppy enthusiasts are a very helpful, friendly and polite breed. Puppy will indeed benefit from people with the right expertise, but I guess it will not let its culture be taunted every now and then. While I'm glad you &...

Just thought I'd say that I reorganized LanPuppy's structure with no boot share & some other changes. Making so many changes at once makes troubleshooting really really hard... basically, you'll have to start the debugging over from scratch! The dirs. /mnt/docs & /mnt/public have red error ...

Um, I haven't told the old host I'm going yet. ...Do I have to inform the old host anything? Let's try and find out where things stand :-) jonathan@blue:~$ whois goosee.com |grep "^ " Domain Name: GOOSEE.COM Registrar: PRIMUS TELCO PTY LTD DBA PRIMUSDOMAIN/PLANETDOMAIN Whois Server: whois...

Following HOWTO : Share files and folders between Computers, I've put the following line in /etc/rc.d/rc.local: smbmount //192.168.1.46/HPmp3 mnt/HPmp3 You may be missing a leading / in the path to the mount point: Try /mnt/HPmp3 8. Right click on the computer name/address and select "scan as ...

I would like to suggest upgrading to JWM 1.5, ... May I suggest that you record any suggestion (especially anything you hope will get into 1.0.9) directly in the tracker, and then (if you wish) make a forum post that links to your tracker entry? I still have a backlog of 20+ or so older suggestions...

I'd love to help you with running the usbreport.sh you posted. I saved it on the usb key under the name usbreport.sh and tried to run it in puppy with the command ./usbreport.sh I am getting an error, bad interpreter: no such file of directory Check that the first lne of the script is correct? You ...

Answering this with a complete and accurate file list would be time-consuming. Puppy init scripts and configuration tools use many small and often non-standard config files, mostly in /etc (well, /root/.etc/ really). I would suggest you either (i) read the init scripts and config tool scripts to fin...

This is good work, Lobster! In a few places it seems to sort of miss its target audience a bit, such as suggesting non-menu-based ways to power off and reboot Puppy... why not use Start -> Shutdown -> Power off computer and Start -> Shutdown -> Reboot computer and keep the user in the nice graphical...

Looks a bit like it is running short of RAM? Do you have a swap parttion in place? Is Puppy using it by the time it gives this error message?

If not... maybe your RAM is going bad? Run memtest86+ overnight or something, to rule this out, if you can.

Scenario: Puppy boots without a hard disk*. It can not locate pup001, so it prompts the user: Tick where to find your files: / / LAN or / / http://puppyfiles.co.uk Username: Password: This must be a cool way of using Puppy without a hard disk* ... A network file system is all that is needed, with o...

Can any of you provide instructions for a non geek Linux newbie for accessing data, photo, and music files in my Windows partitions ... If your NTFS partitions show up in MUT (click the USB key looking icon labelled "drives" to run MUT) you can most likely mount them by clicking on Mount ...

I've tried: exec, but it doesn't cause the called script to run, is there another way to run scripts besides ./ It's not that you don't want a return to the calling script, you just don't want the calling script to wait for the called one before it continues (and exits, if the call is the last line...

I'm not sure who is going to step up and volunteer to become "Mr. USB Flash Drive" for Puppy, but we may need someone to take on that coordination role. Here are a few suggestions when collecting info on USB keys, that may help discover what the specific things are that make a particular d...

It would be nice to see some links to the bug tracker on the other Puppy sites. That is probably best delayed until we can get it to be visible at http://bugs.puppylinux.org which is intended to be a fairly permanent name for it, no matter who hosts it longer term. BarryK is working on getting a CN...

All right - I have started samba and it has /root shared. I've tried to find the needed info in the manuals, but couldn't. How do you UNshare the /root. I was able to add shares, but can't find the line in the smb.conf where the /root is mentioned as shared. /root is the home directory of the root ...

If anyone wants to check whether its RSS feed works, go for it Well, it does work, but only if you allow anonymous access. My initial attempt at setting that up works for the news RSS feed, but not for the issues one. http://tracker.nfshost.com/mantis/issues_rss.php gives me lots of errors... :-( J...

OK, the issue tracker now has 21 issues in it from my list.

Um, yeah, there's duplication going on here, or about to happen. I've already installed my own WordPress, and intend to install a bug tracker soon. I hope no one gets annoyed.... :( I'd suggest installing Mantis version 1.0.1, and then we can just transfer the MySQL data to your site when you want ...

I've signed up for the Mantis Bug Tracker site, but I'm a tester only, so don't really know if signing up helps or not. Hopefully so! You're early... it will, in time. I suggested developers first, but it's OK for you to sign up now if you are that enthusiastic :-) Is this your test site John M.? I...
