Assuming that the computers are completely secured so that USB/CD booting is not possible at all, it may be time to request an alternative from the SysAdmin. One possibility: Request that a computer be made available that has no hard drive (possibly an older/unused model). That way no viruses/malwar...

Lucid Puppy 5.28.4. Selected 5 repositories; displays only 3 after shutting down & restarting PPM. Rebooting does not change this.

Same in Classic & Ziggy.

Moving configuration window leaves blank areas in PPM window - does not redraw.

I understand that glx-gears is not a benchmark, but I am curious as to why my video frame-rate is so slow: # glxgears Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate. 301 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.043 FPS 300 frames in 5.0 sec...

Thanks! It works now.

Hello, I am newbie - tried Puppy a couple of years ago and still have it as a dual boot with WIN XP on an old (1999) laptop. However would like to experiment a little further with the latest release. My knowledge of linux remains at the novice level. I have read through most of this thread but stil...

Are you running from a usb flash drive, if you are I have been having trouble with the package manager with a usb install, still haven't worked out what the problem is Confused Sorry Geoffrey, vehicle troubles. Looks like you've got it sorted, though. made a deadbeef-0.5.1-i686.sfs Thanks Billtoo, ...

Saluki-005 clean frugal-install to a 2Gb USB flash drive using ext4 w/Grub4Dos. Sound works (barks) video resolution correctly set, WiFi sets up correctly w/McDougal's wizard, but not SNS or Frisbee (haven't made folder for Frisbee fix yet). Same traditional trackpad & SD card reader issues as t...

lxterminal installs from pet but does not show up in Menu>Utilities (or anywhere in Menu). lxterminal does run from urxvt by typing #lxterminal lxterminal installed but did not show up in PPM. Updated PPM, installed (again) lxterminal but this time through PPM. Menu>Utilities entry shows up (twice!...

Or just install lxterminal. http://smokey01.com/jemimah/saluki/pets/lxterminal-0.1.11-vte-0.28.2-i486.pet lxterminal sounds like a good solution; is that a good link?

"Safely remove usb drive". Powers down thumb drive prior to unplugging ala Ubuntu. Just unmount it. In slacko, you can just click on the desktop icon. Can't get much easier than that. Sorry to respond in such a late fashion: Unmounting a flash drive does indeed protect the Operating Syste...

I believe an incredibly useful browser for Puppy would be modeled on the mobile browsers currently running on Android. It would primarily utilize mobile websites rather than traditional websites, making it more useful for low-bandwidth locations. Rationale: Travel for 1 hour outside of any American ...

The sticky would attempt to answer questions like "How can I select page 29 of 63 pages in a thread without having to scroll through them 3-by-3?"

BTW, how do you do that?

TIA

HDD-active light is always illuminated whether booting with or without save-file. Lucid 5.28 not doing this. Any information i can provide?

EDIT: Same machine, clean 5.3.1-004 install to manual-frugal USB flash drive. Does not exhibit this behavior. Oh well, another non-issue.

How do I uninstall? Not in Puppy Package Manager, but shows up in "Menu>Internet" When I click on it, an infinite loop of gtkdialog buttons show up in the lower taskbar. Lupu 5.28 w/update 4

I hope this is the right thread...anyway I installed the Install Flashplayer pet from the 5.28 thread link. It worked great, but the wording of the GUI instructions don't quite match the selections on Adobe's website. It might be confusing for newbies who aren't sure of their Linux version, 32-bit v...
