Try a search, I prefer http://duckduckgo.com on "Samsung nb30" or "external monitor netbook"

Although my first post was ignored I recall that someone walked me through the solution in another thread somewhere.

Unless it was a private message ... if i find something there i will post it.

I dont have any answer specific to your machine but when I did a similar thing on my Acer netbook I had an option available within Bios and had to use that.

It was a while ago but I seem to recall I had to force "external screen only" via bios then tinker with xorg.conf to make the screen parameters match the telly I was connecting to.

(I also found that the bios setting had no effect unless the telly was already plugged into the vga port when I first applied power to the netbook - I couldnt do the xorg change on the inbuilt screen then plug in the external. I had to work with a chunky poor-res display on the external while editing xorg.conf)

Here's the problem. The display I'm using goes up to 1440x900 and looks the best there.

So I set it to 1440x900 (having manually created such a mode) with the resolution-(...)

*AARRGH!!* Dunno what to do at this point. I just want a 1440x900 display output and NOTHING from my netbook screen unless I reboot without the external monitor attached.

Help?

EDIT: temporary workaround is to re-set the wallpaper and drag the icons around to fill the screen. Quite clumsy and probably won't "stick" (reboot will undo everything, in other words)... but it'll do for now.
Hi, starhawk.

My suggestions :
1) sit on the ground in lotus position, chant "ooooohhhhmmmmmm" while you
meditate on the virtue of patience. ;)

2) once you're finished with your workaround, copy /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin to /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin.1440x900.
Also make a copy of your 800x600 resolution PuppyPin as PuppyPin.800x600 when you get the chance in the laptop"s "regular" mode.

Next time you choose the higher resolution, you can recall your previous design
with

Code: Select all

cd /root/Choices/ROX-Filer
cp -f PuppyPin.1440x900 PuppyPin
You can even use it directly by issuing

Code: Select all

rox -p=$PWD/PuppyPin.1440x900
Same goes for

Code: Select all

rox -p=$PWD/PuppyPin.800x600
once you've created it.

With the commands you already discovered, and this, I'm sure you can compose a
script and a desktop file that'll allow you to change screens and resolutions with
only a click of the mouse.

Best of luck. BFN.

PS.
Here's a script that I use to change backgrounds and icon positions on a 1280x
1024 screen. It's not the same thing, but it might give you some ideas. I create a
flag (/tmp/alterne) so the script knows what to do next.

The default ROX flag at < rox.sourceforge.net/ROX-Filer/panels > is of no use for this, it's for panels only.

Reasoning is as follows: "If the alternate screen flag is up, do such and such; if it
doesn't exist, create it and do the other thing."

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
# ~/Choices/ROX-Filer/alternePPin.sh
# musher0, 9 sept.; 26, 29 déc. 2013
####
# variables
REP="/root/Choices/ROX-Filer"
ALTRN="/tmp/alterne"
HORLG="/root/my-applications/bin/horloge_noire+bisque-bas-dr.sh"
#
cd $REP
killall xclock
if [ ! -f $ALTRN ];then
	> $ALTRN &
	PUN="PuppyPin-leger?"
	L="a-gauche"
	$HORLG haut &
	killall conky &
	else
		rm -f $ALTRN &
		PUN="PuppyPin?"
		L=""
		conky -d -c /root/.conky-1ligne &
		$HORLG bas &
fi
PP="`ls -oghu $PUN | head -n +1 | awk '{ print $7 }'`"
rox -l=$L -p=$REP/$PP &
You may want to ignore the conky and the xclock ($HORLG) calls.

Two different pinboard names are used. The < ls -oghu $PUN > etc., line discovers
the last pinboard used by one or the other name and feeds it into the PP variable.

Simple as pie when you know how to do it! 8) It's a breeze changing backdrops now. (Took me a couple of years to notice what < ls -u > did, hehe. But now
saves me a lot of coding.) :roll:

Temporarily fixed -- by switching screens with Mom, oddly enough :lol: she's been using my old Samsung -- a smaller, 15" LCD that's 4:3 like I needed to make this thing smooth.

Right now she's trying out a nice Viewsonic widescreen, to see how she likes it. It's the one that was giving me headaches earlier ;) if she doesn't want it I'll probably see if the local tech shop will take it in trade for another screen that's 15" and 4:3.

3.9.9.2

#446 Post by sszindian »

Update on Raring-3.9.9.2

Using Raring-3.9.9.2 since it came out!

No problems so far!!!

WiFi holding like a champ!!! (I only encountered one problem a few months ago and lost WiFi then but, I believe it was Internet-related as it never occurred again. Anyway, it corrupted my savefile but a pfix=fsck brought everything back to normal its working fine.)

Await the next version.

Just wanted to let you know pemasu, you're building some fine puppy's!!!!!!

Closing the lid (suspend) has two issues for me right now. Issue One is that it makes shutting down impossible except via power button. I get "Puppy is now shutting down" and then I get a hashtag prompt. Issue Two is a bit more serious. I'm pretty sure the fact that my flash drive has corrupted files, is due to the fact that I left it mounted when I put my netbook into suspend.

Full install to ASUS 1000HEB with 2gb RAM and a 64gb SSD.

Hello, all.

Support for Ubuntu Raring has ended Jan. 27, 2014.
Does it have any effect on UpupRaring? On the repos, perhaps?

Thanks in advance.

Midori Browser for Raring 3.9.9.2?

#452 Post by edoc »

Any chance of a Midori PET or SFS for Raring?

Or, if Raring is to be replaced, for the replacement?

http://www.puppylinuxfaq.org/add-on-sof ... r-pet.html

Firefox is making too many bad moves.

Midori appears to be WebKit-fast, is cross-platform, open-source, & defaults to the privacy-respecting DuckDuckGo.com Search engine.

There's one in the package manager....I installed it...works....requires dependencies...tells you which ones.

I'd like to see an sfs or a pet that I can convert to sfs....do not like bloating my save file with stuff.

I should have checked that ... thanks!

BTW: There is a Lucid PET that someone may be able to port to Raring ...

Make your own SFS --Midori or almost anything else

#456 Post by mikeslr »

Hi tlchost

RFS created a pet named PaDS. Sorry my internet connection is slow today or i'd provide a link from which you can download it. But if you do a well-minded search for PaDS you should be able to find it with further information. At any rate, it's an application which makes it easy to create an SFS from a pet, deb or rpm, or combine several pets into an SFS.
You're fortunate in that midori has dependencies. When that occur PPM provides the option to download the app and its dependencies without installing. [Otherwise you have to hunt for each file you need]. So to create an SFS of midori, just download it and its dependencies into a folder. Then start PaDS, click the Add button, browse to the folder, and select each of the files you downloaded. You have to select them one-at-a-time. Then click "create sfs" and you've got your midori.SFS.

Midori is small enough so that you can use /root as your work directory. Don't forget to name your project midori [top row on right when you start PaDS].

Thanks....found it

Sadly, it doesn't work....appears to work, creates an sfs, but that sfs is missing libgstapp-1.0.so.0

Using the package manager, I can install midori...but the app and the libs consume over 80 megs of space in a save file.

I've been using a modified version of Upup Raring for over 2 months now. It has been tweaked to look and function like Tinted Slacko, but is not yet quite as polished (due to my laziness ). Upup Raring is a very stable and well-built release, and provides a good base with its newer libraries. Thank You, Pemasu. :)

flowblade video editor and midori.sfs

#460 Post by mikeslr »

Hi tlchost & All,

First, something which may be of some general interest. Thanks to 666philb's ingenuity, flowblade video editor is available. I believe it to be the most versatile video editor in Linux. I have it working in both upup precise and upup raring. Like any application with lots of bells and whistles it take some getting used to.If your interested, check the thread beginning at http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=91445.

Tlchost:

I'm posting using a midori.sfs running under raring.

Sorry, I had assumed that you had already tried to use the midori-lucid pet for which edoc provided a link and had been unsuccessful. FYI, often applications compiled for one version of a pup will function in a later version from the same family: that is ubuntu based pets in later ubuntu based pups; slackos in slacko, salukis in carolinas, and so on. Especially if your interests are with SFSes it's safe to experiment, because if a problem arises you can unload the application. Less so with the installation of pets as uninstalling a problem pet which over-road the libraries in your SaveFile may result in a SaveFile missing libraries required by other applications. If you want to experiment with pets, create a “backup
