Lobster, Any terminal output? Maybe it's a bad library.Lobster wrote:XaraLx (package manager)
Is a program I find reliable and prefer to Inkscape
Not the Lucid version
First time I was doing a logo for 5.2 (Luci)
Just about to save
when it crashed
Second time it also crashed
but I had saved the file
Only the saved file was not in my list of xar files
Maybe I should reinstall it?
Anyone else having issues?
Save us from logos like this:

I should really think of making notes what I did and how I do things. So I think I got the GB version from the puppylinux:openoffice page and transformed it to a sfs.01micko wrote:Béèm..Béèm wrote:I receives a pps (slide show) and wanted to run it with OOo 3.2.1

What you describe actually works for me.. I made an SFS out of coolpup's pet on the wiki.. whose SFS/.pet are you using and where from?
BTW, running Rolf's (rhadon) "googphilosphy.pps", available from his Opera sharing thingy when he is online.

Have looked at the nvidia site and they recomend the same driver for the 200 series
Have checked the way I install puppy510 and the driver from usb
1. boot up computer from usb device
2. Install to hard drive as frugal install without changing anything (apart from installing/changing grub menu, remembering to save changes to grub) (eg saving as puppy510)
3. reboot computer and quit without saving (as dont want to save pupsave to usb device)
4. on restart choose the newly instaled puppy fron grub (eg puppy510 frugal)
5. reboot again this time saving to folder that puppy is installed in (eg puppy510) (choosing 1.25Gb save file size as I have plenty of room on hard drive and avoiding problems with save file not being large enough) (personaly save as EXT3 in case of power faliures)
6. open quickpet and choose 256.35 driver and download/install, I say no when it asks if I want to exit to xorgwizard. (can do it all in the complete configuration experiance)
7. run the complete configuration experiance, set keyboard time zone etc,
When I get to the driver choice select choose and type in "nvidia" when it asks to move the NV driver click OK, I choose 1280X1024 as my screen resolution (depending on the size of monitor you are using)
8.when it asks again for the resolution I choose 1280x1024x24 and not the 1280x1024x16 it suggests, (more colours and better display) choose test and hit return
9. when the test screen apears click on ok
10 It will then tell you the screen resolution, refresh rates and the driver being used (if it says nvidia the driver has loaded OK and it is using it)
click on ok.
11. if it takes you to the command line type "xwin" hit return and this will return you to the desktop
12 I always reboot at this point (should save automaticaly) but dont think it is needed.
This works for me with a geforce 210 card Hope this helps
Stripe
(if it does work and you have sound problems just shout)
01micko is right the 196.35.24 driver (from the PPM) will work with this card and if the above does not work is the next one to try.
01micko has a lot more knowledge and experiance than me and he wrote a lot of the code for 510, so knows his onions.

fiThe version of dhcpcd in puppy5.1 is 5.1.5 - the version in the link is 5.2.6bigpup wrote:Network connection drops out after no activity.
So tried this update of dhcpcd.
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/dhcpcd
powered down and restarted
Network connection retained
Thanks guys!
yeah it didn't fix the connection for me either.peebee wrote:The version of dhcpcd in puppy5.1 is 5.1.5 - the version in the link is 5.2.6
HOWEVER loading it doesn't help for me - my connection still drops after c. 5 mins - my output from /var/log/messages is below (I'm not sure why the date is not shown consistently ???)
After you change resolution or settings with the Nvidia program in menu> settings try this. If your monitor has an auto adjust button, press it and see if that has any effect.The resolution Puppy booted to before installing the drivers was 1440x900 which was ideal for me.
Having then installed the 235-35 drivers I couldn't select this resolution and the ones that would function were far too large.
I then discovered from the menu>settings tab an nvidia entry and when clicking on,it came up with all the nvidia settings.From there I was able to select my desired choice of 1440x900.
At this point I thought my troubles were over but using that resolution put the task bar midway on my monitor.I tried each resolution,some of which wouldn't work at all and the ones that did would have made it unusable as they were far to large.
Not sure where I go from here but I presume now that there must be some incompatibility with my hardware.
I should mention at this point,I'm also using PCLinuxOS'S and have always had issues with nvidia drivers and can never seem to achieve the same resolution for them all so I certainly don't blame Puppy.
Also, in the Nvidia X server settings program > "X server display configuration", do not use the apply button but make sure you select save to X configuration file.O1micko,
...what bigpup said or simply restart X

Maybe rc.network should take that into account.

Replacing "bcm43xx" to "b43" in /etc/rc.d/rc.network resolved your problem?

As said it did work in earlier lucid's, but can't remember in which one I did run a pps the last time.
The reason I created a sfs is, that I didn't want to increase my save file with an extra 145MB to install the pet and I got stuck on the manual method described. Didn't find how to refer to the /mnt/home/openoffice directory from within puppy.
