(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

It's working great on my hardware except for sound. With all required items at full volume in Retrovol and the speaker icon at full volume, there is still no sound. Attached is sys info report.

Jejy69's fine KDE4.10 works great as will as 01micko's get_libreoffice-027.pet. Also Bibletime and Xiphos programs are working fine.

Thanks,
Jim

remaster puppy cd is now working, mounted iso detected

Manual frugal install and Grub4Dos.

I've tested Pnethood and it's working well with this k3.2.29.

Video detected and running nouveau with Mesa DRI.

Connected to my print server after installing hplip_print-3.12.10a.

Successfully compiled Sylpheed 3.3.0.

This precise puppy is working good on my old kit:
P4 1.7 with 768mb and nVidia GeForce4 MX 440 sitting on an Asus P4PE motherboard.

Thanks for another great puppy!

Peace!

d/l full version of 5.4.95 and created live cd

tried to boot on Hp Pavillion dm4-2070us laptop
I5-2410M processor and Intel HD Graphics 3000

Did not get to desktop. Only have black screen. All other versions go to desktop w/o fail. I have seen this before on couple of earlier versions but don't remember what caused the problem.

please advise steps I need to correct.
Thanks

It's a feature.
Afraid you've been missing a lot of discussion, most probably that contained on BK's blog. With such fast moving development in this kennel, one has to read the lot. My problem is I tend to forget it after a week or so and cannot find it again!

Absolutely amazing on my 10yr old Acer laptop. Manual frugal to ext3, booting with grub4dos.
All seems very good OOTB - very snappy and low resource usage / temp.
Looks good, feels good and generally outstanding all round. Many thanks.

No problems, it's working great.

If you hold your mouse in the position shown below (and perhaps click and move slightly, maybe with a task open) you will likely be able to crash jwm. However the 701 developer snapshot now fixes this.This is in precise 5.5RC and other versions of puppy also.

PPM fails to update correctly. After download 'Processing-packages-ubuntu-precise-universe into standard format' fails to complete.

The update worked but took quite a long while.

How long is a long time? More than 10 minutes? More than 15 minutes?

Close to 30 mins to complete update here, but it did complete.

I'd guess that it took between 10 and 15 minutes on this pc:

EDIT: I reran the update and it took 7minutes and 7 seconds to update ppm.

Thanks, Billtoo. I will try again tomorrow and be more patient.

I'm continuing to run precise puppy 5.5RC.

Everything so far is running great. All my installs in PPM using ubuntu reps are working great.

Fonts look great even running wine.

Everything looks good and easy on my eyes.

I haven't tried installing nvidia 96.43.23 yet. I have to try that next. Even if that doesn't work, I like this puppy.

Thank you!

Where does this information come from? A log file or do you enter a script from CLI?

Thanks.

I installed this pet:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=69326

I'm new to using linux distros and i really want to use puppy, so i installed precise puppy 5.5 on a cd yesterday and when it started, my screen resolution didn't fit my monitor ( i suppose this can be fixed with nvidia drivers? i use a gtx 670 ) and also, my keyboard (razor anansi) wouldn't work. i tried setting the keyboard to usb in one of the settings but it didn't work. can someone help me?

Diarthorosis,

I can't tell you about video drivers, that's out of my league, but you can go to menu>set-up>Quick set up first run settings and in the video section, it gives you an opportunity to run the video wizard. If that doesn't work, In my experience, changing the refresh(?) rate has solved the problem. My apologies if you have already ran this without any luck. Maybe someone with more experience can help you if this doesn't work.
