I have 4.2.1 running on one of my computers and decided to look for an alternative file manager. I have PCManFM running on Debian on another computer and found threads here about this and another pet. Unfortunately, when I installed the spacefm pet, clicking on the menu item for spacefm doesn't do a...

I was writing a small memo today and tried to check spelling after Abiword redlined a word. When I did that, the app locked up. I tried killing it through the console after identifying an abiword process number and that didn't work. Finally, I tried closing it via the menu bar Abiword item and it di...

If the sfs is converted to an sfs 3 type, would this run ok with Puppy 4.2.1?

I have puppy 4.2.1 installed on a laptop, and I am interested in adding a newer one if it will offer some advantages. The laptop has a dual core processor (Intel T7250 @ 2 GHz), 2 gigs of RAM and a 500 gig HD. I am looking for something that is reasonably minimalistic in the interest of ease of use ...

I was listening to a streaming program and it was periodically interrupted and replaced by a screen with a url something like worldbelle...com and the single word on the page "done". We have VOIP and sometimes it occurred when a call was placed or received, but not always. I never experien...

I have seamonkey and firefox on my 4.2.1 install. I would like to try Opera, but I don't know which version will work with this distro.

Would appreciate referral to thread about this or info and advice.

Thanks in advance.

Steve

I imagine so, but haven't checked.

Both Wary and 2.14 seem to boot as slow on this machine (2.14 as a live CD and Wary as a full install).

I will document the time and come back.

Anyone suggest typical boot "holdups" that can be sought and fixed?

Thanks for replies.

Steve

Thanks for reply.

It has a ~380 meg swap partition.

I have an old PC with a 266 Pentium CPU, 192 megs of ram and 6 gig HD. I had two 3 gig partitions, one running WinME and the other Caldera Linux. This machine came this way. Subjectively, the boot up time was OK with each OS and I did not have problems with speed of programs. Recently, however, I de...

Thanks for responses.

I have not attempted to install apt-get.

Will report back after I get the chance.

Hi, I want to use apt-get wiith lupu and saw this thread. Looks great. Thanks in advance. I have two questions: (1) I wanted to look at the status and available files out of curiosity and was surprised that it came up as a .BIN file not a .TXT. I looked at these two files on another computer (runnin...

I was interested in downloading the version of browserlinux based on 4.3.1 with google chrome, so I tried the link you posted. I get a 404 error - page not available.

After I posted, I saw the message about Foxit crashing if xorg wasn't set to 24-bit color.

After I changed that with xorgwizard, it displayed a pdf handily.

Sorry (but if anyone else was unaware of this requirement, then maybe it is useful).

Steve

I click on the application (after making it executable in properties) and a window launches.

However, when I click on File, Open and select a PDF, the application just disappears.

Appreciate suggestions on what I have done wrong (or not right).

Steve

I get copies of my voicemails sent to Yahoo mail as e-mail messages. When I click on the link in SeaMonkey 1.1.15, gxine pops up and I hear the msg. When I use the SeaMonkey 2.0 prebeta browser or FF 3.6, the browser immediately closes. I installed the browser from a tar.bz2 file that I downloaded t...

I was able to connect with the network wizard ("Connect" app) only after I copied the contents of the wpa_supplicant2.conf file to a file named .WPA2.conf in the same directory (/etc/network-wizard/wireless/wpa_profiles. The reason I created this file is that the program gave me an error m...

I tried the additional downloads and... Wow, what a mess that caused! First, I selected coreutils...deb and lib6...deb to the / directory and then tried extracting manually as before. However, no tar.gz files were generated and so I did two things. I renamed the files extracted from the previous deb...

After following your instructions for extracting from terminal (in root directory), I see progress. I now obtained E: msg seen by two other respondents, namely "E: Unable to determine a suitable packaging system type." I followed your advice and instructions to download and install dpkg. S...

I downloaded and extracted the file with pupzip. After it failed to work in terminal (err - bash no such command), I read your Debianization instructions and moved the .deb archive to / (not the root directory) and again extracted. No go. I looked at the list of files supposed to be in the package a...

1. When I did TAB, I get one alphabetical list (split into 2 columns), but when I do compgen -c, I get several sequences separated by [ characters. 2. Do the lists generated by TAB and compgen -c include different items? If you happen to know...otherwise, I will have to look it up myself, if I'm not...
