That should be fixed in 510.
The Alsa sound wizard has been removed from the menu.
In 510 if you click the FAQs link and then click "Firefox won't save to xxxx." you'll find your answer.
Read all of the FAQs, there's not much to read. It should be very helpful to new users. |

Hi. Sadly I wasn't able to do this as the system is gradually being upgraded to Windows 7 this week and I didn't want to risk "rocking the boat." He did tell me what he thought the problem was though; apparently the Fatdog system is failing to release its IP address so it's showing up as a "ghost computer" on the network. Maybe if I'm unable to investigate this further it's better if I write this off, especially if no one else is experiencing this problem when running Fatdog (or any other Puppy) on a networked Windows XP Pro system. Thanks for your attention anyway, CP . _________________ Pentium III/866, 512 MB of RAM 80 GB hard drive running Puppy Cielo 5 "Wary" and Vector 7 Light. |

I'm a bit confused; is 510 released yet, or are the references to using it only from those with a beta? |

I was wondering if there are plans to include a System Monitor in FD500. I boot FD500 with the .sfs for 32 bit libraries and the .sfs for 32-bit OxygenOffice works just fine. I like gkrellm (small, efficient, and multi-functional) and I tried ttuuxxx's pet from here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=39202 I get an xmessage "gkrellm segmentation fault: (Initializing)" B. _________________ Laptop: Acer Aspire 5810TZ |

Can you set the network to accept a static IP? That way the DHCP lease expiring would not be an issue. Also... We had a similar "problem" on a LAN with two IP addresses for a box with ethernet and wifi connections, both of which were being connected to the network. If it's not the lease issue, that might well be the ticket? Or... To set the puppy to keep up one can set the ip to go down and back up at intervals more suitable to the msWindows LAN. If you reconnect too quickly (ie too soon) you will get multiple IP's listed on your LAN. (Sixty seconds or more is required for most DNS records to reset.) The timeouts vary, so check with your local support.

Yes, you'll see a button for that in the network wizard. You'll want to make sure that any static address you use is available and out of the DHCP server's range.
That's only possible if you have a network cable connected and you configure your wireless card to connect. Your wireless card will not just connect on it's own, unless you have configured it to do so. If you open a terminal and type ifconfig you'll get something like this (probably not this long):
I'm actually using ppp0 right now which is a modem, but for this example I brought up the other interfaces and gave them addresses. Some explanation: eth0 --- This is my hard-wired lan connection. I gave it an address of 192.168.1.200. lo --- This is the loop-back device, it should always have an address of 127.0.0.1. ppp0 --- This is my cell phone modem. The cell carrier's DHCP assigned me an address of 75.204.58.41. wlan0 --- This is my wifi card. I gave it an address of 192.168.1.220. Your interface names will vary, except for lo and probably eth0. In this example I have three ip addresses and all of my interfaces are up so ifconfig shows their status. If I had not caused all of those interfaces to be active, ifconfig would have just shown the lo interface and the interface I was actually using. I suspect that you're using Windows, and Windows gets an IP address from your DHCP server, then when you shutdown/hybernate and Windows doesn't release that address. Then you boot up Fatdog64 and it gets an IP address from your DHCP server for that same MAC address. You might try opening a terminal on Windows (Start-run-cmd) and typing ipconfig /release and then shutting down. I don't know why you IT guy cares if your MAC address has two address assigned to it unless your running out of addresses. |

OK, finally managed to grab some quiet time in the computer suite. Here's my ipconfig (I'm posting from Fatdog 64-500 as before); eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 48:5B:39:C2:67:66 inet addr:192.168.1.107 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:31436 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:29078 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:36993229 (35.2 MiB) TX bytes:4148922 (3.9 MiB) Interrupt:28 Base address:0x4000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Hope someone can make sense of this!

Colonel Panic, That shows that you have one IP address, eth0 has an address of 192.168.1.107. |

Thanks for the info. I assume that means it's not "ghosting" on the server network any more? In any case I haven't heard any more about it from the tech people here so it may have been a one-off.

So is the nVidia pet labeled "510 only" also good for 511? How much begging would I need to do to get "kill" on the right mouse click? Great job on FD-64, thanks for all the hard work! |

I installed the hpijs_print and hplip_scan pets today. I am glad to say my printer works great. This is an HP PSC 1200 series. The scanner didn't fare so well. I received an error during device I/O. But I am very happy to have a printer. Thanks |

you will need to explain the feature first. I don't get what you mean. Perhaps we can do it just by tweaking the window manager configuration.

Thanks for the feedback. I have tested these packages successfully in 511 on both a Deskjet and a Photosmart. So I don't know why a PSC would behave differently. I'm assuming that scanning worked with a 32-bit Puppy? Which HP package did you use there? |
