Hey, cowboy. Summary: Running with the tahrpup_6.0.2. Pburn would not write an audio CD. Some kinda error message about installing ffmpeg. Investigated other burners, and most were big, buggy, and bloated. Then I stumbled on your post. Followed your concise instructions, and whaddayaknow, bingo! My ...

Hey, unL33T, My experience was the same. Journeyed to the man page for xlock. (Located at http://linux.die.net/man/1/xlock .) A very mature application, as it turns out. Anyhoo, since I was not a fan of its explosive, multi-colored, rotating screensaver, I opted for a blank screen, implemented every...

Yep. I have just rebooted, with an fsck performed automatically, so the extlinux.conf file was the one to edit. Thanks again.

Many thanks for your help, watchdog. I will post back later today with results after reboot.

Thanks, watchdog. I am not using my HDD; only booting with/from flash. I did use the universal installer. I did a pfind search on my tahrsave folder. No syslinux.cfg file present. However, I noticed the file extlinux.conf, opened it in geany, and found a line which read: append initrd=initrd.gz pmed...

I have a frugal install of the above (puppy tahr 6.0.2) to a 16gb sandisk flash memory drive saving to a folder on the drive utilizing a ext2 filesystem. Everything is working fine. I want to make some changes to menu.lst, and I am ashamed to say that although I am not new to puppy, I cannot for the...

Several years ago, I waded into the friendly waters of this forum, with many questions. I had then (and have now) a (heretofore) trusty Dell Dimension 4500S, vintage 2002. It multi-boots Windows XP SP3, and three versions of puppy linux, with the most recent being the 5.25 Lupo iteration. Subsequent...

I am using a pet version of Firefox 3.5 in a frugal install of puppy 4.3.1, and have noticed an extremely slow, jumpy response when scrolling at the puppylinux.org website. This condition occurs also at a few other sites which I have visited, and wondered if there is a configuration option and/or ad...

Just an update to my original thread. I have just completed an upgrade of Puppy from 4.2 to 4.2.1, and the printer (a Canon Pixma ip3500) is working just fine with the bundled version of CUPS, 1.3.10. I am using the PPD file for MP520. Thanks very much for this latest release, as it is a relief to h...

@rcrsn51 : Ditto results with Seamonkey web Browser: "Failed to connect. Page load error" (http://127.0.0.1:631/printers). Thanks. I suppose I can just forget about booting from the hard drive, and boot instead from the CD. I'll give that a whirl. I find this all quite ironic, as I was ne...

@rcrsn51: Nothing, as in no response of any kind. No message. No picture. Nothing. I re-entered your /etc/init.d/cups start command and received the response "cups: started scheduler." Now, what's next to reconfigure my printer, or is this not possible? (Previously, when I entered the comm...

Tried both the console entry and a reboot which you suggested rcrsn51, and still no entryway to the CUPS server/portal. Both entries in the Puppy menu are non-functional, at least from my machine. Thanks.

I recently upgraded to Puppy 4.2 through a fresh frugal install. I configured my printer (Canon Pixma ip3500) successfully with the MP520 driver file. I printed a test page from Opera (v.9.64) in color and with good results. I went to bed, booted Puppy, printed a page from the browser, with poor res...

PupGet has informed me that after installing Firefox into puppy v.1.0.6 multisession, he is in need of some missing library files, which must be installed. So, following his advice I made a written note of the files, but I do not know how to proceed. (In other words, where do I obtain the files, and...
