I think I'm gonna ditch this one and try a fresh install. If I get the same result I'll move this post over to the "Filesystems" sub-forum. As for Peterm321 and rokytnji's suggestions, I'm afraid no dice. When I mount from the terminal I get this message: mount: warning: /mnt/sda3 seems to...

I'm running a new install of vlina 1.3 (which I *love* the look/feel of, btw) on a USB install. I'm hitting an issue with permissions: when I mount the hard drives on my computer(s) (it's done this on my home desktop & my work laptop) they get mounted read-only, and I get "permission denied...

@ Sylvander: my save file is on the USB, and I'm using a new Lenovo Twist; it's loaded with the new Windows 8/UEFI garbage, so installing anything is a *pain*. @firak (et al): I didn't know about the USB power issue. I'll play with saving to my hard drive and see if that works, but that's a less-tha...

Thanks, folks.

I'm starting to lose hope--I've tried the most recent versions of Precise, Racy, & Slacko, but no luck. I can't figure out why it would work OK on the initial boot, but quit after I've created a save file.

Would trying an *older* version of one of these make any sense?

I'm trying to get *any* of the Puppy variants to work on a USB install with my Thinkpad Twist. The USB initially boots just fine, with perfect functionality (as far as I can see), but as soon as I create a save-file and reboot, I get a desktop with a dead cursor. I can't get it to move with my point...

Thanks for that! The tray icon is back.

Anyone know if there's a relatively hassle-free way to get the Aqualung tray icon back?

I kinda miss the little bugger....

Thanks for the lead. I'm running Racy 5.3 on a frugal install, & I just installed the .deb with Petget. It seems to work as advertised.

Thanks, Flash. I'll try the script when I'm back on my home machine. I'm using Puppy on a flash install. I think I've got 2 gigs of RAM on my home machine. I'm assuming that b/c the error message includes a reference to liblame that that's where the problem is. Videos have worked just fine, and I wo...

Howdy! I'm using FFConvert 1.3 with ffmpeg 0.8.12 on Racy 5.3, trying to transcode an MP3 file (from 320 to 128k). FFConvert runs the file for a few seconds, and then exits with this error message: [libmp3lame @ 0x80760a0] lame: output buffer too small (buffer index: 9195, free bytes: 597) Audio enc...
