Falls es noch von Interesse ist: Man kann den pup_save file von 421 nicht auf 431 verwenden. Die beiden Versionen sind dazu zu unterschiedlich. Es gibt dazu im englischen Form ausführliche Diskussionen. Barry hat 431 auf Basis 412 entwickelt, nicht ausgehend von 421. In diesen Upgrade Fehler bin ich...

Hallo Develo, imho liegt dein Problem daran, daß dein älterer Laptop nicht mit dem neueren Kernel 2.6.30 der Version 431 kompatibel ist. Würdest du das reguläre 431 benutzen, gäbe es noch die Versionen mit den älteren Kernels 2.6.25 oder 2.6.21 http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppy...

Did a frugal install of 220 today and noticed right of hand these: 1. Could not install the driver for nvidia. I tried this one http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=1455616668&t=14438 but even with the dotpuphandler the install routine tells me that there is not enough drive ...

Hi nac
have you tried this one, yet?

Have fun.

Thanks playdayz. I tried the sfs3 version in 421 and it works fine, except for one strange quirk: When opening Writer a message comes up and reports "dict-fr.oxt does not exist". When opening Writer again, it opens without this message. Installing the French dictionary does not help any. A...

Has anybody tried upgrading a frugal installation of Puppy 421 to 431? I found several major problems and did not succeed with the upgrade. First, the pup_safe.2fs file of 421 is now called pupsafe.2fs. Okay, one could rename the file. But it does prevent an automatic update when starting from the n...

I had experimented with 430 upgrading a full HDD installation of 421. The LAN connection did not save for the next boot. So far so bad. Next I did a frugal install of 431RC and the connection settings were saved on the fresh install. Hurray! BUT... then I made an executable in /root/startup to have ...

First, of course, I'd like to acknowledge the hard and diligent work that goes into the development of Puppy. Barry and a few very creative developers deserve all the credit one can give them for it. So, generally I do enjoy Puppy, more so than any other OS. Yet, there is a but, a big BUT. And it is...

Hey ttuuxxx I had already drafted a raving thank you note in my mind, but alas, no such luck. Installed the pet, restarted x, reconnected and saved; then a reboot. Result: The LAN internet connection still does not save for the next boot. This is too bad, because it probably means I have to go back ...

With all you guys rattling along I would have thought that someone might have had an answer to my humble problem on page 8 of this thread.
My internet connection settings are not saved for the next boot and this happens only in 4.31.1 and 4.3.1.
Details on page 8.

Any ideas, anyone?

Hi ttuuxxx, appreciate your great work, but this drives me crazy on 4.3.1.1: The internet connection is not saved for the next boot. Is there a file where one can manually do just that? My set up: Puppy 4.3.1.1 on Full HDD JWM (and ICEwm) Internet by Network (DSL; DHCP) This problem does not exist i...

Issues I noticed: 4.3 standard: petget doesn't run from the desktop icon. When started from /usr/local/petget/pkg_chooser.sh only the Package Manager opens. 4.3 small: Internet connection wizard/Internet by network doesn't recognize any network card. Standard version does! Both: icons.png are not di...

Hi Samy... Das gleiche Problem habe ich auch. Vorallem, wenn ich nur ein DSL-Modem benutze. Dann wird im Roaring Penguin zwar die Verbindung grün, aber weder Browser noch Email funktionieren. Mit Router ist es besser. Eine Antwort kann ich dir leider nicht geben, aber zumindest eine Lösung: Benutze ...

When running Puppy 3.00 as a LiveCD I continue to find these problems, even after the PPPOE-fix. (My internet connects through a DSL modem, no router) Roaring Penguin starts and connects, but Firefox doesn't get access to the internet, neither does Thunderbird. Same problem occurs in Firehydrant and...

I confirm the bug on pppoe as reported by Leon, eccentric and panzerpuppy. Roaring Penguin does not work for my DSL-Modem. An internet connection is not possible. This occurs on a fresh CD and on an upgraded one. The bug was not present on 2.17.1, it was on 2.21 and now on 3.00. Hope you will figure...

Started from CD then from CD and flash drive with 2.17 files on it. Both went fine. Two bugs that I noticed: JWM themes cannot be changed. It stays at default. When I choose roaring penguin from the connect icon, set it up with my data, it will not run upon clicking on the start button. Both items w...

Tried 2.20 and did an experimental upgrade from 2.17.1. Everything works fine, even my internet connection (use tkpppoe on a dsl-modem). Did all my adjustments and created a new ISO with Dougal. Burned it to CD with Grafburn. But when I booted from that remastered CD and tried to restart, the SAVE t...
