The name "openchrome" should answer your question in and of itself

...hey phiiiiiiiiiiiiillllllll...

Applying the fix is somewhat tedious and somewhat boring. Read here, starting with the second post --> http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=107198 Affected VIA chipsets are anything vaguely similar to the VX800 series. This includes the VX855 and VX900 chipsets and may include the K8M800 and...

I always wondered where he was...

I was in the midst of posting as well.

gc, did you forget to hit the "include a poll" button?

Don't know, haven't touched it. I'm waiting on phil to update it a little, though -- he said he would in a PM to me (which I've since unfortunately lost) -- the openchrome driver in there has support broken for certain VIA-branded chipsets, and I'm the guy who got that fixed. phil said he'd release ...

"I now have additional questions..."

Well, one, anyhow. Why the heck would anyone WANT dial-up...? It's soooo sloooow.

I did not say I was updating any repos -- that is unchanged from Upup 3992. I do not have control over those -- which is quite fine with me. I was suggesting that the update-package-sources script within the PPM might need to be run, by people using Van Pup (and, in turn, Upup 3992), for the PPM to ...

...sigh...

At least this topic was from earlier this year...

zippy, if I may ask, where are you in the world that you're still stuck on dialup...?

Probably the PPM updater needs to be run. I have to do that with Tahr these days...

@musher -- greengeek fixed the bug.

GNOME2's Nautilus (carried on as Caja, part of MATE) is the most exact copy of Windows Explorer that I've seen in Linux, behavior-wise.

Alas, in Puppy, for reasons even the devs haven't figured out, it crashes on volume unmount. Whoops!

@Pelo -- do you know about dir2pet...? I've used it... a couple years ago. While reasonably fluent in American English, I did not know Linux well (I still don't :oops: ), and I did not know how to compile successfully. It worked anyways. Making *.pet packages is apparently not only for experts any m...

@Pelo -- can't help, sorry. Also, for the record, I don't do facebook.

We need you to tell us more, before we can help. I myself won't be able to help you with WINE -- I stick to 32bit Pups and I don't use WINE -- but -- these are the basic questions we need answered to get you some assistance. What hardware are you running on...? Always relevant, even when it seems ot...

Pelo, greengeek -- thanks to both of you for keeping this alive. I should've said that sooner. It was that bug with this Pup that made me realize I could not adequately support what I was creating -- and that is why I stopped. Perhaps, one day, I will learn enough about Puppy and Linux that I can be...

I don't know squat about modems beyond what I posted and a bunch of boring dusty old historical crap that (a) nobody cares about anymore and (b) nobody needs to care about if their computer was built after roughly 1991. I'm on a cell tower network myself... protip to you, zippy -- wherever you are, ...

Look at the largest chip on the modem card. If it says Conexant on it, or has their logo -- you're screwed. You can communicate at 14.4kbps using their purposefully-hobbled free driver, or fork over $20 for the driver that actually works. My suggestion -- recycle it, and get something older that wor...

@Pelo -- I was simply expressing my surprise at seeing someone who is always complaining, say something that was not a complaint.
