I tried to follow the instructions by tempestuous to install gtkpod 2.0.2. First I installed the dotpet for gstreamer, followed by gtkpod and libanjuta dotpet. When I use the menu item to start gtkpod, nothing happens. When I open a console session and type gtkpod I get # gtkpod gtkpod: error while ...

Thanks for the reply. I'll try it out when I get home. I have a Toshiba 4320 with a 600 MHz P3 and 256 MHz RAM.

I am using a frugal installation of Puppy 5.28. While trying to set myself up to compile (which is new territory for me), X failed to start after a reboot. At the time I had just installed gcc and was trying to install a pet to provide glib-compile-schemas. I successfully ran xorgwizard but X still ...

Thanks for the reply. I had a look in the BIOS and could not see much on power saving. It's a very limited BIOS page.

I am running Puppy 4.2 on a Toshiba Portege 3110CT. When I run on mains power, audio is good but as soon as I disconnect the power and run from batteries, the audio breaks up to a weak crackling noise. Htop shows me that the processor is only about 50% utilised. Any ideas?

I'm trying to install Puppy on a Sony vaio C1MT. I boot with the wakepup2 floppy and the Puppy files are on a USB flash drive. All goes well until the mouse selection screen appears, at which point the keyboard no longer works and I cannot use the up/down arrows or hit enter. If I plug in a USB keyb...

Is it possible to configure power management in Puppy? Things like turning off the display after xx minutes. If so, I would be grateful if someone could tell me where it is.

Thanks, Steve
