(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Mick,I have tried and tried to create a full install on a USB stick but at some point in the proceedings the terminal crashes. I am thinking that a frugal install running PUPMODE=12 is a better way. Very similar results after all. That is what I am using here.

Hi Mick,

I upgraded my ram to 12GB and this is how it is shown in PAE versus non-PAE Slacko 5.6 versions which confirms that the PAE version is recognizing all ram as advertised. Thanks for this option. Jim

PAE

• Memory Allocation:
  Total RAM: 12167 MB
  Used RAM: 610 MB
  Free RAM: 11557 MB
  Buffers: 22 MB
  Total Swap: 4499 MB
  Free Swap: 4499 MB

non-PAE

• Memory Allocation:
  Total RAM: 3031 MB
  Used RAM: 597 MB
  Free RAM: 2434 MB
  Buffers: 21 MB
  Total Swap: 4499 MB

Is there a Grandr pet package for Slacko ? I looked at the build in xrandr, but find it complicated to set up. Grandr works more intiutive.

What a coincidence! That is the one that fails for me. I guess that it has stripped-down firmware that doesn't recognize options like burn speed.

Bingo NEVER will own a LiteOn again!

Sorry bigpup, I haven't had a chance to get back to your request but I will reinstall and see how it goes, then post the requested info.

Thanks for your desire to help,
Ray

All works fine.

Skype download from sfs manganer download work perfect, and the usb camera Logitech HD Webcam C270 work perfect.


Thanks to 01micko and developers, I hope that you continue on this way, I don't like precise, I like slacko.

Thanks.

@Killapup.

I think I saw a problem similar to your problem. When I saw it, it was on an NTFS partition and the partition had gotten some corruption where at boot time, GRUB4DOS could NOT find files needed for boot even though they were present on that corrupted filesystem.

If you have a partition (USB/HDD) formatted for EXT2/EXT3/EXT4, and you move the frugal folders to that partition, you might see some changes. Of course, if you do so, you will need to make entries in your Grub4dos configuration to reflect where he is to look for your boot files on that partition.

Hope this helps

gtk-3 all programs can not use X Input Method
abiword and Gnumeric can not enter CJK

I need to install Wine and chromium. Can I go ahead and install it from Package manager or there are any libraries for Slacko in Ibbio etc..

Proven to work in slacko 5.6

See you.

Hi Mick and other contributors,
I see that the 3.10.5 kernel in the PAE version has a number of new drivers, including the rtl818ee wifi driver, which is needed by forum member dbabits' Toshiba Satellite laptop -
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 934#736934
but I needed to help him out by contributing the missing firmware.
This is a common problem - new/updated drivers often require additional firmware, so maybe in the future I can help you access the very latest collection of official firmware ...
but in the meantime, the same forum member also requires the new alx driver for his Atheros ethernet device.
But I see this in the Slacko-5.6-PAE kernel config - Can I ask that this new driver be enabled for the next release of 5.6-PAE?
And if the next release is some time away, could someone please just package this new module as a dotpet in the meantime?
Thanks.

Slacko test build -- using woof-CE --testing branch

(oh tempestuous, saw this too late, next kernel build will have the relevant module/firmware)

It works.....

Slacko 5.6.1

Do you want it all tested for bugs or just want to know if it generally works OK?

Well I am looking at the Internet and posting from it. I can see a working desktop. Icons seem to work OK.

Got this strange message.

Open slather bigpup, report anything weird here and if you think it's woof related then at the woof mailing list as well.(optional)
