Hello guys, I just installed Slacko with a full install, then downloaded the lang_pack_fr and loaded it, but nothing happened. I tried launching Momanager from the console and it complains that PUPMODE = 3 (full install) thus aborting. Maybe the correct way was to install it when I ran it the first ...

thanks KenShabby
this problem is still of actuality in 2013, i had it while installing Lucid Puppy on a brand new Toshiba Satellite C855D

I think the real issue is how to install a sfs file when running on a full installation of Puppy. There's a page on the website, HowtoAddSFStoFullInstall, with these steps : (from the mounted directory) # cp -a --remove-destination ./* /mnt/hda2/ # sync but this doesn't work since the destination fi...

il te faut installer le paquet "développement" de ta version, qui contient ldconfig http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/sfs_modules-4/ ça prend un peu de place mais te donne la plupart des outils de développement et te permets d'installer des logiciels depuis les s...

thats all. Next time you click on a rar file, puppy will open xarchive.

Every time a new package is added, /root/.icewm/menu is updated; the problem is that it removes "restart computer" and "shutdown computer" entries

thanks a lot, Dude !!!

i thought this wasn't the right kernel files
I regret this information is nowhere else to be found.

The kernel sources should be included in the devx package, because users need it when they want to compile drivers . I attempted to download the kernel from the official site, then issued the commands as described here http://puppylinux.com/development/compilekernel.htm Note: the link to squashfs2.1...

kernel sources used to be included in devx

to make things easy I have the already-patched source available online. Please go to my Download page for links to the patched source.

Easy ?

Indeed that's the problem: i don't have the kernel sources !!
And i can't compile alsa drivers for the same reason

Why are they not included in devx??

That's great, i've been trying to reinstall alsa using the realtek-audio-pack, now snd-hda-intel isn't loaded and i can't modprobe it. # lsmod Module Size Used by parport_pc 32068 0 lp 12580 0 parport 35656 2 parport_pc,lp usb_storage 85952 1 serio_raw 6788 0 squashfs 46856 0 unionfs 73572 0 fuse 48...

crée ce script et exécute-le :

il s'agit alors de la police "gtk", la même que les menus des autres logiciels (comme Geany) Si le fichier /root/.gtkrc.mine n'existe pas, le créer et ajouter cette ligne : gtk-font-name = "Sans 14" si le fichier existe déjà, ajouter la ligne à la fin du fichier. Taille et police...

It's all very well, but if you want no wallpaper, say a black background, how is it done? There was this possibility in previous Puppies

I have an Acer computer with realtek soundcard, i tried the advices of 1st post, but it seems my card isn't detected at all
i don't have /proc/asound/card0, but /proc/asound/cards :

--- no soundcards ---

But, i have sound on other Linux distributions (and on Vi$ta)

"Set global font size" isn't working. It only changes the size of characters in the taskbar and the pinboard.

I skip and he proposes to compile stuff himself. I say ok, but i get the following error message: Error: unable to find the kernel source tree for the currently running kernel. [...] If you know the correct kernel source files are installed, you may specify the kernel source path with the '--kernel-...

i have sound on other Linux distributions. how do I compare to install the right modules ?
