How am I supposed to get a United Kingdom keyboard layout in 0.1.5 please? If I set it to United Kingdom it is still not working right. Best example is the key that is 2 to the right of the letter "L" in upper case for the UK should be the @ symbol and not the inverted commas like this &qu...

Now on Racy 5.2.90 Clicking on the clock (left click or right click) brings up minixcal calendar which doesn't have a close button on it. It does have a taskbar button though. If I do the instinctive move of right click the taskbar button and then left click on "close" this exits X to prom...

Default Sound Card = Random

I posted this in the "Bugs" section because I encountered it testing the beta of Racy 5.2.2.9 but it may not be a bug as such and it is possible that this may be a more appropriate section of the forum in which to ask about this. I hope I can be forgiven for copying it here as well. I like...

Multiple Sound Cards

This may be something that is not unique to Racy (though it is happening for me on 5.2.2.9 right now) but perhaps someone can shed some light. I like to run 2 sound cards in my computers so I can route audio from different applications to different places. So I have "Soundcard A" (which is...

Pemasu, Thanks for trying to help. That line from "lspci -nn" reads:- 00:06.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8185 IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN Controller [10ec:8185] (rev 20) Just wondering, is it normal for it to be described as an ethernet controller whe...

Thanks to Mark for the additional guidance. Regarding this PCI card wireless adapter it is boxed and sold as a Micronet SP906GK but the network setup in Puppy reads it as:- Module = rtl8180 Device description = pci Realtek Semiconductor RTL 8185 IEEE 802.11 abg wireless LAN controller ("lspci -...

Tried to follow what poster "mark" above did. Downloaded the firmware .bin and placed it in the folder. Network setup now does scan BUT does not find any WPA signals, only WEP ones. Not really sure how to use WEP in my router and don't really want to as it is less secure. Wonder if there i...

Since you are talking about this here I am trying to get wireless to work as well. I have a USB dongle (packaged as an Edimax EW-7718Un 300 Mbps Wireless USB Adapter) which gives these error messages. Have tried Racy 5228 and Wary 522 and others, same result with all. module = rt2800usb Fails to act...

In some ways I would like to be using Slacko if it is the "official flagship" current release, but I have found that I don't get a 1920 x 1080 wide-screen resolution out of it on my new desktop computer. (No 1366 x 768 or any other wide-screen options either). Not sure if anyone can advise...

Thanks to Sylvander for helping me to realise that I can stop the automatic saving of RAM to my save file (which is on a USB flash drive). It was set to do so every 30 minutes in Setup>Manager>Event Manager>Save Session. I have now set it to 0. If it comes up when I am typing for example it does fre...

After losing all sip connectivity while experimenting I switched everything off and went for a walk to clear my head. With the problem on all computers and all clients and all accounts I thought it must be either the ISP or the router. I rebooted the router and could log in again so at least that wa...

This computer is quite old (7 years ish) and in fairness is short on RAM but I was hoping I might be able to get it to work. Might try on a higher spec computer later. If I want to try 0.26 should I uninstall 1.3 first? Would prefer to stick with 1.3 if possible though. OS is Lucid 5.2.8-004 Have re...

Connecting to music@iptel if I tick and untick the "hold" I get a very brief burst of audio. Looking at the "stats" button I see it is trying to use speex. I wonder if it is a problem with this codec as mentioned in the previous version conf file. How do I disable speex codec in ...

I am logged in to iptel and can make some calls but the iptel utilities including conference don't seem to be working for me. With conference I get a split second of audio, sounds like the start of a welcome greeting but then all goes quiet. Echo and music test give nothing. I got some IM's from you...

Are there newer versions available? I read through the 16 page thread linked from the client and then discovered this one with 3...
