I found a bug in wary 5.1.1 (probably is in 5.1.2 too and inherited in other puppyes) Is in the "grub legacy bootloader config"... It gives an error when trying to find windows partitions This only happen in "expert mode" so probably nobody noticed because "simple" mode...

This is what i have (by now), i think is cool enought to post a photo :) http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/zuik83hu/Imagen0067.jpg Its fully usable, folder names/structure is "user friendly", this time i focused in aesthetic changes, i added explain texts for every entry (there are 4 lines o...

there's a chain.c32 in my current puppeee boot folder, can't I only add entries to my syslinux.cfg? (I know I'd better try it directly but how can I know what's the matter if doesn't work :) ) Thanks This chain.c32 comes included as one of the modules in the syslinux release , the use of this modul...

-3 main menu options, for chainloading to the next device (usually grub in hd0,0), "reboot", and "power off" I recently installed OpenSUSE 11.4 on 2nd ssd of my eee 901 but all I've been able to do is add (lately) grub also in that drive and boot using Esc key and selecting it s...

Im a bit paranoid with "misterious" and "unknown" files/folders in the install tree, but after a lot of reading and tests i think i know syslinux well I made some modifications inside "boot" folder... basically what im trying is to separate "syslinux installer file...

Im not sure where to report this "bug", and i suspect that is not specific for this pupplet (probably it comes from woof), but maybe somebody can help to redirect this info The mistake is in one of the syslinux "help" menues (HELP.MSG), it contains this line: Examples: puppy acpi...

I thought you was not planning to add my miniwidgets to puppeee, but now i see them there and i feel like i must try to do it better I have some more resized & simplifyed, and the ones i did are updated, now are 10 pixels wider, with 5 pixel transparent border... and some are smaller in height, ...

@Sunbound "Grub 1" (legacy) cant update "grub 2" So i suppose you have 2 options Get rid of grub 2... and install a fresh grub 1 in the partition you want But... to make this.... first you need to make backups of grub 2 files, and the MBR of the hdd And you will need to configure...

Here is an updated trayclock with a "set the time" feature. Someone asked for this a long time ago and I finally got around to it. :D I installed it yesterday (in a ramboot session), but nothing changed :oops: Its supossed to work with the 3 windows managers ? Btw... talking about the clo...

There is a window of time between when the kernel does usb detection and when Udev starts that you can plug in a usb device and it won't show up. The solution is to just wait until the desktop has loaded. Are still you having the problem if you wait?. Yes, tested with several pendrives, none of the...

Im still using the previous release (v1 ?) and i have 2 fails that im not sure if are bugs --------------------------- usb devices plugged after boot are not detected I think is a problem with Pmount, because im booting from SD card and i have access to it --------------------------- google chrome s...

Ramboot loads your save file into ram as well as all your sfs files and never touches the disk again. It is not setup to save at all, but since Patriots clean shutdown patched solved my problem the only reason it doesn't ask to save during shutdown is because I haven't implemented it. This means th...

It seems that the full standby resets all settings, probably because is a standby managed by the bios ? But is fixed by adding the hdparm command at the end of sleep.sh Previously i was using 2 hdparm commands (-S to set the standby time... & -y to inmediatly standby)... because my first thought...

After a few more test im using this script: root/startup/ 9hddstandby #!/bin/sh hdparm -S 12 /dev/sda hdparm -y /dev/sda -S 12 sets the standby to 1 minute... i think 1 minute is enought, i prefer to be carefull and not to abuse of the hardware -y makes the hdd to enter in standby inmediatly (useful...

I was testing some hdparm commands in my 900HA (with a internall seagate 250GB SATA mechanicall drive... dont try this with SSD drives) Edit: This is usefull when booting puppeee in ramboot mode, and without swap (no hdd access) http://linux.die.net/man/8/hdparm -S Set the standby (spindown) timeout...

re black boxes around widgets: i think that if 0widgets could run as the last thing in bootup, all coloured background issues would be solved, as noted earlier clicking 0widgets solves the issue. The files in this folder are loaded alphabetically when booting, you can rename it to Zwidgets to load ...

I been tweaking a few pwidgets trying to adapt them for netbooks, if somebody is interested, the files are attached in this message with a short explain of how to install them -----> http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=441863#441863 *The battery one is fixed, because the original one sh...

Here are some tweaked pdwidgets, are ripped versions of the original ones a bit more simplifyed Resized to 140 width, all them shares the same font type/size and colors for active items/bars I did this because in a netbook usually there are no more than 600 pixels availables in height and the origin...
