Shinobar's timezone fix works for me.

Many thanks.

In an earlier post I recounted difficulties when running lupu244 on a box where the RTC is set to UTC and I want to display the correct time in the Australia/Sydney timezone. I have since made a frugal installation after selecting the timezone and "UTC" in the GUI. On rebooting the display...

This time I am posting from a frugal installation of lupu 511.
I was able to get the correct local time display after using the tools found under the "Desktop" menu item.

cheers,

Today I tried Luci-244 running from the CD with pfix=ram and got the same or similar problem to that which I reported yesterday when trying Fluppy 009. The hardware clock on this computer runs on UTC and the timezone is Australia/Sydney. On bootup the clock initially shows UTC but when configured fr...

I tried out Fluppy 009 on this computer today. The hardware clock is set to UTC and the timezone to Australia/Sydney. I booted from the CD with pfix=ram and using the GUI selected the timezone and clicked the UTC box. After the "apply" or "OK" (I can't remember which) I restarted...

As per the title. On this box when running Insidious I got segfaults with both e3ne and e3vi. Has anyone else noticed this?

This computer has a seventeen inch LCD screen which apparently returns the string CMV 17" as its model name. In the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file generated by the wizard the following line in the Section "Monitor" prevents X from starting. ModelName "CMV 17" AD" I always hav...

This post describes a method of installing Puppy with the minimum disruption of your existing XP installation. In your case you don't need the Ubuntu partition etc. Unfortunately I won't have time to produce an edited version of those instructions for at least a week. Maybe someone else could step ...

I downloaded SageLivePup08.iso (699 MB) from http://boxen.math.washington.edu/home/emil/ The md5sum of the downloaded iso image agreed with the in file md5.txt but Cds burnt from this iso image would not boot. The CDs contained the files boot.cat, boot.msg, initrd.gz, isolinux.cfg, pup_431.sfs, help...

Here is the contents of /etc/wvdial.conf on my netbook: [Dialer Defaults] Modem = /dev/ttyUSB2 Init1 = ATZ Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0 Modem Type = Analog Modem ISDN = off New PPPD = yes Baud = 9600 Phone = *99# Dial Prefix = Dial Attempts = 1 Dial Command = ATDT Ask Password =...

I have used one of these on an ASUS 701SD. I can't remember which Puplet I was using but it was not Jemimah's latest Puppeee. In my case I inserted the device and waited until the CD icon appeared. In a terminal I did eject /dev/sr0 and waited a while until the led in the modem settled down and then...

As per the description. I now can boot into Puppy or Ubuntu without having to alter the clock even though the hardware clock is set to UTC

Oops! this was meant to go into the feedback regarding quirky 1.2rc

A simple remaster using the inbuilt tool does not appear to solve the problem. (The changes to the three scripts did not appear to take.)

I guess I'll have to learn "Woof".

If you are connected to a suitable network while installing Ubuntu the installer compares the time obtained from a time server with the hardware clock and sets the UTC variable accordingly. Otherwise the default setting is UTC=no as found on Windows boxes. The Unix tradition is to use UTC=yes but un...

The hardware clock was already running on UTC and the Timezone was set to Australia/Sydney. I set the system clock via the desktop GUI tools and edited the three files mentioned in my previous post. I think I need to remaster the CD so that the files in the initrd are also altered. I will experiment...

The hardware clock on this computer (running Ubuntu 10.4) is set to UTC. I have a directory /Puppy containing lupu-500.sfs and lupusave-ken.2fs I can reboot with a Puppy 5.0 but the displayed time is 10 hours behind because Puppy assumes that the hardware clock is running in local time. A thread by ...

I am going to be away for about a week. I will write in more detail on my return but essentially the problem was that I needed to create the file

/etc/ppp/peers/wvdial

I am trying to connect an Asus 701SD running Boxpuppeee to the internet via Telstra Pre-Paid Wireless Broadband. Telstra supply a USB wireless modem from ZTE, model number MF626. What I have achieved so far: 1) Boot into Boxpuppy from an SD card in the ASus 701SD. 2) Insert the MF626. Wait until the...

Below is an edited version of a string of emails I sent to "pyro" showing one method of achieving his aim. I understand that it worked. I understand you have a computer with a working Windows XP installation and a working Wubi installation of Ubuntu. The computer has a nominally 120GB HDD ...
