I installed an old firefox v7.0 using Quickpets Let it update to version 12.0 Then went to Firefox website and downloaded Firef...

Hello Oscar, Thanks for the reponse. My version of Dillo in Lucid 5.2.8-5 will not access a https page. I don't have another browser and can not seem to be able to download anything from Puppy Program Manager now. Can I do this from a terminal window? If so, what should I type in the terminal? Thank...

I updated Firefox to V46 which needs libgtk3. Running Lucid 5.2.8-5 and now only browser is Dillo which does not support https. Is there a way to get Lucid running Firefox v45 and working again? Please give complete commands to fix this. (Include what I need to delete of the existing Firefox V46) I ...

Thanks for all the help.

I will just crush the thumb drive and destroy it.

I can not return it to Amazon because of the unencrypted data on it.

I do not do Windows! I use a real OS ==> Puppy Linux !!!

Thanks Bigpup: I tried gparted on the thumb drive and did a check on the ext2 partition. It came back with an error that the partition could only be mounted read-only. Gparted can not format or repartition the drive because it always mounts as read-only. How do I get puppy to mount it read-write? I ...

Tale of two 32GB thumb drives I bought the same day. Both were reformated to ext2 using Gparted on Lucid Puppy 5.28-5 Both were working great. I was writing files to both. For this discussion I will label the read/write drive sdb1 and rw drive sdc1 Suddenly sdc1 changed from read-write to read-only....

I did as suggested # rm -rf /var/spool/cups /var/run/cups /var/cache/cups # /etc/init.d/cups start cupsd: Child exited with status 127! cups: unable to start scheduler. # same result I tried to add the PupSysInfo.txt file to this post but it was not accepted as it was a ".txt" file. rxrsn5...

I tried your suggestion # /etc/init.d/cups start cupsd: Child exited with status 127! cups: unable to start scheduler. # The checksum on the iso matched the one provided. I tested cups before loading any additional software. I got the same results as above. What would you like me to try next? -Bruce.

Did frugal install of Precise Puppy 5.4.91 nopae on Toshiba Satellite A205 with 2 GB of ram 2GB pupsave file using Grub4Dos that has started 50+ puppies over the years.

SOLVED Solving this may help others with sound! I just bought a new Hannspree HannBook SN10E2 It has an Intel HDA Sound Card. From my Toshiba Laptop I built a Frugal Install Lucid 528 USB Flash Drive on a PNY 4GB Clip Drive. When I boot the Hannspree with this USB drive I have sound and the speaker...

lluamco, I tested both Lucid 525 and Lucid 528 loading only the 1. Install libnetsnmp-15.pet 2. Install hpliplite-3.11.7.pet You are correct. I only needed these two pet to get Xsane to recognize my PhotoSmart C5280 printer/scanner. This was my error in installing too much. Thank you for correcting ...

lluamco, I installed the pets in the reverse (bottom-up) order listed. Xsane did not recognize the scanner until I installed hp-plugin-install.pet. It actually did not download anything off the internet as I was not connected. It did run the install script from the pet and that seemed to fix it so m...

I installed three of the pet from page one of this post. hp-plugin-install.pet hpliplite-3.11.7.pet libnetsnmp-15.pet This got my HP PhotoSmart C5280 All-in-one Printer/scanner working in both Lucid Puppy 5.25 and Lucid Puppy 5.28 for printing by CUPS and scanning by Xsane. Thank you for posting thi...

I had trouble getting my HP PhotoSmart C5280 to print with CUPS and to be recognized by xsane. I downloaded and installed 4 pets and now my Printer and scanner now works in both Lucid 525 & 528. I downloaded and installed the 4 pets from http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=58421 aft...
