Thank you for your reply davids45 The wireless widget worked fine on the same Dell Laptop using pwidgets-2.3.8 on tahr-6.0.2, so I suspect it's not a hardware issue. Here's what I have in /usr/local/pwidgets/widgets/configs/Wireless TEXT ${color2}${font pdingobats2:bold:size=24}0${font DejaVu:bold:s...

BEST USB stick for Puppy Install I've used so far!

I just purchased a Transcend JetFlash USB 3.0 Flash Drive and it works great for my puppy. It is USB 3.0 so it seems pretty fast. It's in a metal case so it should be durable and it is TINY! Roughly the size of a Quarter. $9 for a 16gb on Amazon

Apparently Amazon does not support Linux FF and I couldn't get Chrome to run on Slacko 5.5. So now I'm running Chrome v 46.0. on tahrpup 6 and Amazon video works again. :D

By the way, this verison of chrome scores 521 out of 555 points on https://html5test.com/

Thanks bigpup. I was sure changing from Silverlight to Flash in the Amazon settings was going to help. But it didn't!

Thanks rokytnji but according to https://html5test.com/ my browser (FF 41) scores 466 out of 555. I don't think that's it. I think it has something to do with DRM. To watch Amazon Video on your computer, we recommend using a browser that supports our HTML5-based web player. The HTML5 player is optim...

Amazon Video Stopped working today

It worked fine yesterday! Running Firefox on Slacko 5.5. I updated to the newest version of FF v. 41.0.2 but still no good. Anyone else with the same issue?

Great USB stick for $6.99 @ Amazon

I found these to be great for Puppy use. They're small, durable and the 8gb is $6.99 on Amazon. (16gb for $11.41)
They work great for me for booting puppy on my Dell Laptop. CLICK HERE

Gates' foundation offers $100K for ‘new generation' condom!

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has rolled out a new initiative calling for inventors to pitch ideas for a condom that wouldn't decrease sexual pleasure. 'It may seem like a small thing, but it prevents people from using them consistently,' a foundation official says. Read more: http://www.n...

Can’t connect to WPA2 encrypted networks!

I upgraded from Slacko 5.3.3 to the PAE version, k3.5.5 because 5.3.3 did not support the touchpad in my Dell e6420 and PAE k3.5.5 does. However now I can not connect to WPA2 encrypted networks. Connecting to Open, WEP and WPA/TKIP networks is no problem but not WPA2. I tried using both Puppy Netwo...

Bill_Gates, Maybe it's fixed in a cutting edge kernel. There are 2 possibilities here. Dpup-Exprimo by Pemasu ( here )or the latest Slacko Beta (PAE version k3.5.5 ( here )). If you could test either of those and report it would be cool. The Slacko version has the latest stable xorg-server and driv...

What make and model PC do you have? If you think you might have an Alps "GlidePoint", it might be worth trying a distro with a 3.2.0 or newer kernel to see if it is recognized. (Although it is still in beta test, you might try Precise Puppy beta7 , which has a 3.2.29 kernel.) Thanks npier...
