Thanks. This worked like a charm.

I t worked. Thanks.

Now, how do I get back?


Nevermind. Figured it out.

startx jwm

Puppy 4.3.1
Installed Icewm, but cannot see any way to use it. I can only see the standard JWM desktop options. Do I need to turn on something?

If you answer, please be specific.

I tried the suggestions, and no luck. Here is what my unedited wmexit and wmpoweroff files look like: wmexit file: #w003 CURRENTWM="`cat /etc/windowmanager`" kill -9 `pidof $CURRENTWM` ##exec killall $PREVIOUSWM ##exec killall X #killall X #default is SIGTERM. #sleep 1 #exec killall -9 X #...

Same problem here. It was working fine in 3.17, but now I have to setup wireless every time I boot. Any fix?

Anyone know if the Linksys WPC100 Rangeplus Wireless Notebook Adapter (pcmcia) will work with Puppy 4? I have tried Ndiswrapper (I have the Windows XP drivers) but no luck. If you have it working, please let me know which driver you used since i have tried a swarm of them through the autoprobe but n...

I have revamped an old laptop to be used mainly for internet access and email with Puppy 4. I got it up and running on the laptop in a few minutes with no problem. Everything seems to work fine, and it sees the network adapters, even says i have a live network and finishes the DHCP search. Blinky sa...

At long last I was able to try the suggested command and still no luck. I was at a hotel with free wi-fi, Puppy could see 6 separate available signals that the hotel provided, but I could never connect with any of them. The "Xautoconnect to wireless network" program would try for a while, ...

I have a similar situation and use Puppy just fine. Go here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=8908 Read this procedure. I have modified it slightly. If you have a machine with Windows XP on it, use it to format a floppy t make it bootable. On the old ;aptop, creat a partition that is...

Thanks so much. I will try it as soon as I can

I can't remember how, but is there a way to make this script a simple icon I could click on to activate it when needed? I assume when I re-boot my original settings will be in place, so I just want a way to quickly click on an icon to disable the WEP key. If I don't do that, I will never remember wh...

I will try it. Thanks. This forum is so handy.

I have had the exact same problem with 2.14-2.17. I connect fine on my home system, but can never connect on an open public connection. I can boot into Windows and connect just fine. I have never figured it out and just figured it to be a problem linked to somethingI was doing. It is nice to see it ...

A little more information please. Are you getting this from booting off the live CD, hard drive, floppy etc.? Tell us what you are booting from and we might be able to walk you through a fix.

as an experiment why not try installing a pup2xx version that works with your graphics, then booting pup3.0 & getting it to load the pup_save.2fs file & see if you can "graft" your graphics over. That is exactly how I did it. Otherwise I have to use xorgconfig and go through the h...

So as it is, there is no fix, right? I can wait until later releases if i need too, so it is no big deal. I was just hoping that since different window managers had partial success, someone would be able to offer a concrete fix. Just for grins, I tried the "retro" version of 3.00 and it wa...

Non-guru advisory: retrograde to 2.17.1 But that spoils the fun. Using Puppy and bending it to my will is a ball. I will not be defeated! NEVER! Well, maybe some day. But not yet. Someone out there in Puppyville has the answer. As it is, Puppy has allowed my to take a snail slow laptop and make it ...

When Xorg starts, it logs to /var/log/Xorg.0.log -- look in this file to see if anything unusual, particularly toward the end. If you can only do it without X running, use mp console text editor: # mp /var/log/Xorg.0.log Nothing at all was in the log when viewed from the commandline. I was not able...

I created a FAT partition and boot using a floppy. The main information is here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=8908 I made modifications since then, such as putting everything on the root of the FAT partition drive. So that I absolutely could not inadvertently mess up anything on ...

No one has any ideas?
