Thanx again 4 Your Help...
Maybe the resizing didn't work out well, that could be because you resized while savefile was in use.
I'd say, try to resize again from booting without save (Always fresh boot option)

@Max, thanks for the screenshot, it looks like your savefile is around 1GB and the resizing didn't work properly, try resizing again from "Always fresh" boot (resize should be done when savefile not in use), if still not as expected, then better start all over again with creating a completely new savefile, as you wish, size 3.2 GB.
Edit: as for your question about if FAT32 makes any difference, for me booting and saving from FAT32 (with savefile) works OK as with any other filesystem.

It's in /usr/local/bin, "conkytoggle.sh"

Hi 007_james_bond,

It's a hack, but it works:

Code: Select all

sed -i 's/geteuid/getppid/' /usr/bin/vlc
Note, when you upgrade vlc, /usr/bin/vlc will be overwritten, so you have to do it again.

Hi 007_james_bond. There are reasons why vlc is set to not run as root, so whilst that can be worked around you should at least consider the implications of doing so. Similar to running a browser as root. The more probable way into a system is via the likes of such programs (along with email and other doors such as upgrades).

Puppy's running as root from a read only medium such as CD along with physical isolation from other systems/devices (other PC's on the same LAN segment, local HDD etc.) is relatively OK (can still be a issue with respect to hardware i.e. BIOS flashing). Contained within a jail or container and again OK. HDD frugal (or fully) installed ... not OK, more so if being run from within a corporate LAN segment.

@Fred Thanks again Fred. You are genius. :)
@rufwoof Thanks rufwoof for your security concern. I normally run both chromium and vlc as user but I wanted to know whether its possible or not to run them as root like puppy. I thought it might be useful if I know how to run them as root.

Please can somebody Help Me Fix the Wireless on this intel DQ45CB Desktop 3 GHz Core2 Duo w/ 6 GB RAMemory, where the Nano USB Wireless Network Adapter is Linux Friendly & is Working w/ M$ Virus Bait 7 Pro 64 bit & was Working w/ XenialDog ( Ubuntu 16.04 'Xenial Xeru' LTS, 32-bit )

I Think the Problem is...

SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted
Failed to connect to non-global ctrl_ifname: wlan0 error: No such file or directory

But I don't know How 2 Fix it

I've Done All the Updates via apt-get & Synaptic Package Manager & Also Tried WiCD Network Manager, But the WiCD couldn't find Any Wireless Connections!

So I Re installed Frisbee, Now I'm back 2 where I Started

SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted
Failed to connect to non-global ctrl_ifname: wlan0 error: No such file or directory
:cry:

The first thing you do is identify the make and model of the adapter.

Then run: lsusb and identify the vendor:product ID codes.

Run: dmesg and look for error messages about wifi.

In XenialDog, run: lsmod and identify the kernel module that was loaded.

I installed DebianDog64-Jessie-openbox-2016-03-20 and plugged in an 8188eu wifi adapter.

The driver installed correctly and the firmware is present.

It passed the basic connection test.

Code: Select all

iwconfig
ifconfig wlan0 up
iwlist wlan0 scan
I don't use frisbee, but I installed PeasyWiFi and it worked OK.

Thanx 4 Helping me rcrsn51, I've uninstalled Frisbee & Wicd, & Mounted the PeasyWifi.sfs File or a Green window told me so, But there's no icon in the System Tray or Network Menu.

I Tried Starting it from the Command Line in Rox, But just got command not found

I'm out of ideas again, Sorry....

That command works in my setup.

If it doesn't work for you, then changing connection apps won't fix anything.
