sorry double post

just finished installing...works fine on my PIII box, but...
still difficult to connect to internet using my beloved SMART D1200P, have to flush it first on my XP then reboot and connect using wvdial..
been trying to connect directly without flushing on XP but always says "modem not responding", just like others distros..
but still, nice puplets..good works Pri

Hi, Running on Multi-session dvd and everythings working well except that I have an ata drive that is partitioned (fat32)(ext3) that is not being seen by the OS for some reason. Works fine in lupu-5.21 drive shows up as sdb1 and sdb2. Any ideas on how I can get it to show? Thanks in advance, Lee.

yah, cuma itu modem yang aku punya pak..hoho..pake instalasi Xp di Virtual juga gagal konek ni...
but, thanks for the puplets, bikin bebrapa temen di Psikologi UGM lebih tertarik nyoba Linux

Downloaded and installed version 2.
This time I could use SNS to define my internet connection and work with it.
Nice.

I could activate my application environment and work with it.
This includes wine applications.

I have the impression that applications run snappier.

Next step is to add Bluetooth support for my phone.

Bluetooth
I had made a sfs from the kbluetooth pet.
But it didn't work.
So I increased the save file and installed the pet.

When I boot the PC there is a panel flashing by and I barely have time to read, but it says something like:
Not able to connect to d-bus
kbluetooth services not started
restart d-bus
restart kbluetooth services.

How do I do this?

Every time I have to adjust the time and tur 2 hours back, altho the timezone is correct (Europe/Brussels)
In other puppy the time of the clock stays correct.

Do I overlook some setting somewhere?

beem i have same problem with clock, the clock is corect, but always show wrong time. i always adjust uisng automatic from internet.

for bluetooth, try to use this command

kdebluetooth

it will be restart dbus and bluetooth

Thank you.
Yes kdebluetooth did restart it and I can use to Obex push and pull functions.

I have the same usb bluetooth stick as you and bluesoleil (windows) came with it.
Now that the basic support is working, I'll try the bluesoleil in wine.
But I have to wait until being back at home after 19 march.
(And find my bluesoleil CD )

Being back I found my bluesoleil CD and installed it in wine.
The program runs and I see the 'soleil', but it gets no address.
So, altho the bluetooth adapter is working in native linux with kbluetooth, the adapter isn't seen in bluesoleil in wine.
No idea why not.

I addressed a question to the bluesoleil support and got an answer back
There was nothing in the answer who did lead to recognize the dongle in bluesoleil wine.

But i got a link for a linux implementation
It is a .deb package and I got an error trying to install.
Maybe incompatible with slax.
I used then undeb to get the code.
It is to be put in /opt.
I had to make symlinks to the bluesoleil libraries.
Something was started, but I didn't get the familiar bluesoleil interface.

I will have to see again with bluesoleil support.

Also I may try in a debian implementation like insdious.

A quick question, sorry if it's been asked and answered before...

1. how do you make slax packages work in Puppy? How do you extract them?

2. And where can you get individual SLAX packages? (the site seems to only combine into a custom ISO, not offer actual individual downloads, but maybe I'm being dumb)

(A separate thread, in the HOWTO section, with a few links and tips on getting and re-packaging SLAX stuff would be great.)

Thanks.

My review of Puppy SLAX remix, if anyone is interested...

http://linuxblog.darkduck.com/2011/04/3 ... found.html

@ sc0ttman :
i download the iso, and the tool for extrac lzm already on that iso too, just rename squasfsh from slax and modified script to find squasfsh slax and ready to use.
many slax application run well from slax, but not all of them.

@ darkduck :
thks for review,

Help tell how to shutdown? Shutdown in the menu does not work and the shutdown manger will not.

It a great Puppy but help us.
