Wow, is this something you can teach to a simple user. This function is pretty important for those of us who only use laptops.

I deleted /root/.adobe and restarted browser FF and signed in. It updated adobe and almost started, but then I got the sorry message and DRM problem.

otherwise, rc1 is outstanding

bob

Thanks for response. It certainly looked like the right stuff, but I couldn't connect. I have updated to rc1 and still couldn't connect. I even tried it in palemoon, as I usually use firefox. Even other suggestions would be welcome. When I tried to run "hald" I did not get any report conce...

Could someone give me a clue on how to install HAL in tahr. I was able to do this in Lubuntu and could watch amazon prime, but would like to do it with puppy.

Thanks, bob

I was unable to see any difference when I plugged in the printer. However, when I attempted to install a driver so I could print, CUPS does not see any usb printer. So now I know that I cannot print. I tried rebooting with printer connected and the usb mouse did not connect either. I used the touch ...

That's usually a kernel bug where one of the drivers doesn't handle suspend correctly. If you can hunt down which one it is then you can have it rmmod/modprobe in /etc/acpi/action/suspend.sh. The issue is with the usb printer as the lid suspend works fine as long as it is not connected. However, I h...

I am really pleased with 700 - I have even been able to access amazon prime after installing firefox aurora.

The only disappointment has been suspend. It doesn't seem to work at either shutdown or lid closing.

Great work.

I have attempted to boot alphat64 but can't get past the log in requirement.

What is the secret?

I have attempted to install wine (both the pet version and ubuntu version) and both times I end up with an error message

wine: cannot find L

When I first booted up phatslacko it mounted my sd card and even allowed me to reformat it. However, when I rebooted and created a save file, it was gone and I have not found a way to make it reappear. This is the first puppy that recognized this slot at all. Any clues on how to make if work would b...

I typed it in 4 times but still couldn't see any difference.

Do I need to install something from win7 which does work.

This is acer aspire one 756 - 11.6" 64bit.

Is there any way to dim the backlight in lhp.

Or can anyone tell me how to find redshiftgui in lhp if it is available.

The screen is so bright that I have to go to a different OS in the evening for the sake of my eyes.

Thanks for any ideas.

bob

Just a quick update I installed grub4dos on the usb slacko and now I can boot from the hard drive win 7 and several puppies on a different partitions. Now the only problem is how to reduce the backlight which seems to be always at maximum. The ability to reduce screen brightness is the main advantag...

I do have a working usb slacko. The only issue apart from not being able to install on the hard drive is that I am unable to reduce the brightness of the screen on an aspire one 756 64 bit machine. The files on sda2 are windows files. I attempted to install lubuntu, but it also wanted to put the boo...

grub4dos want to install on sda1 but generates an error because sda1 gets the following message: The ntfs-3g driver was unable to mount the NTFS partition and returned this error message: Failed to read vcn 0x2: Input/output error Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Input/output error NTFS is either incons...

I would certainly support inclusion of suspend/resume as part of the standard OS. yr1945 suggested acpitool-0.5.1.2 which seems to work fine as long as I directly initiate the sleep function (I made a short cut to desktop). However, it does not respond to closing the lid. pupshutdown does not includ...

yr1945, I appreciate your response, but I have exhausted my limited skills searching for the pets you reference.

Now I need some guidance to find them.

bob

Everything has set up very nicely in 5.2.73. Google-chrome from slacko works fine. Aisleriot, and pwidgets pets install. The only problem is how to set up suspend/resume for my laptop. I tried copying ACPI from upup, but that didn't work. I also tried to install acpi from ubuntu, but couldn't figure...

I have loaded Iron.sfs and get a warning that I am running as root and I have been warned, but the browser does activate. I tried running in terminal as root and get some message about C. I tried as spot and get a message about libORBit..... Can someone give a clue how to use this browser? Much appr...

I tried both nvidia pet and sfs and get the same message

nvidia driver is found but lacking the module for the current kernel 3.4.2-dpup

I may not be installing this properly, so any advise is surely welcome.
