ozsouth, thank you so much for your reply. its no problem at all. I appreciate your response. thank you again. and by the way, adding the ifnames did not fix the issue with my wlan counting higher after each reboot. but my house was struck but lightning over the weekend and I have no internet at hom...

I will try this and let you know how it goes with the wifi device counting.

ozsouth, im having one little issue with the driver for the wifi and was wondering if you have any ideas. everytime i reboot the network tool renames my wifi device. it goes from wlan0, wlan1, wlan2, ... etc. And when I save my profile it doesnt connect when i reboot bc, for instance, it will try to...

thank you ozsouth soo much. that pet package worked perfectly. I wish i knew how to do what you did, finding the right source with the correct kernel patch. I am posting from my wifi connection right now. thank you again for your time in helping me! i appreciate it. I only state this so my previous ...

peebee, I am very excited about this distribution!!! I have been away from Puppy for a while and I am very happy to have found this variant. I was wondering if you could help me figure out how to get my USB wifi dongle functioning. It needs the driver for rtl8811au, which I think is the same as rtl8...

See screenshot.
I do notice is says VGA not connected which is not the case. the VGA is connected.

I am using BionicDog64 Cinnamon Version (though I have tried Puppy versions as well) and I cannot get dual screen to function. As mentioned above I purchased a XFX Radeon R7 240 (R7240ACLF2) 2GB GDDR5 SDRAM PCI Express 3.0 x16 Video Card under the impression I would be able to use it fairly easily o...

No, no particular reason for me to install a login manager. You mentioned it in your last post to me and I thought I would try it out just to make the login screen a little prettier.

that one is not a big deal I just figured I'd report back since you mentioned trying it.

thanks fred.

Fred, thank you so much for your script. It did work as expected. Ultimately I ended up using quantumbox's solution which just seems a little cleaner. With the script for launch and close I would see chrome show on the taskbar and then disappear as X is starting. I tried reducing the time limit but ...

thanks so much fred for your response. can you tell me the next line of code that will close chrome as well? i dont necessarily want it to remain open, i just want it to have been previously opened and loaded into ram. bc the first time it opens it takes so long but the second time it opens immediat...

Also, can you tell me how to set a password a startup so it requires a password to logon?

Im sorry for not knowing how, Ive tried but can you tell me a simple script to open Chrome & Close chrome during boot. The 8 second delay is not fixed with the preload application so far on first use. also, i purchased an AMD R7 240 and my understanding is that this is a dual screen monitorbut I...

These are great ideas. Thanks Wiak and Dancytron!! I look forward to trying these out this evening. Dancytron, i tried the links in the thread you mentioned and they were all old and did not work BUT i learned the terminology of what I wanted; I was looking for a preloader. So I searched synaptic an...

question about launching browsers faster. when i click an application, I am primarily noticing it with the web browsers, i installed chromium and firefox is already installed, after I click the application it takes around 8 or 9 seconds before it opens for the first time. I *think* this is only occu...

I did... unless im totalling missing it I dont see it there.

Install deb file from official Chrome download, this will also add custom repository for next update Run with this command google-chrome-stable --no-sandbox because Chrome not allow root user to run this with default setup. I my self create new .desktop files with that argument I created a .desktop...

oh by the way Just for the record did you use this git https://github.com/diederikdehaas/rtl8812AU/tree/driver-4.3.20 which is updated & also covers your rtl8821AU with the 4.15 kernel? the answer is yes... thats the one I used... and now you figured out who i am, im going to have to change my h...

Thanks again for all the instruction. I'm sorry if my below questions are annoying. I'm just unclear and feel lucky to have a few experts willing to help me learn. These are my updates from the instructions so far. Q - can you explain more specifically the best place to put your 'unmount' code at th...

Sorry for my delay guys. I should be able to respond tomorrow. Thank you so much for the instruction. I'm like a sponge..

Thanks so much quantumbox. based on your instructions I got my wifi working last night. Though inside the file you sent was a readme file that directed me to another site with a more updated driver. So I used that one but either way... its working and I thank you. I haven't tried upgrading the packa...
