Hi,
I'm a newbie using puppy linux but I had no problem until last weekend.
Frisbee stops to work ( don't detect wireless connections) and I want to uninstall it, but with no success.
I uninstalled it from setup/installed packages but it still working.
I stop it from start-up boot but it still working.

How can I get rid of it ??

I'd appreciate any help.

I seem to have a problem with rebooting.

If I shut down, shuts down regularly, no problems.

However, if I reboot, it gets stuck after the:
"acpid: exiting
# _"
line.

4G version.

I have checked the md5.

It does this every time, tried about 10-15 times at least. USB or hd installation, does it in both cases. I tried USB at first, the installed to the hard drive.

(edit: by the way, it only does this only on a Dell Inspiron 1501, works fine on another computer I tried)

I have the same problem with 2.6.37.x and 3.x kernels on my Dell-Optiplex 745 and 755 . The kernel source has some reboot fixes for Dell but only few dell are mentioned there . I am experimenting with the kernel parameter " reboot=f " and busybox reboot -f | busybox reboot -f -n in the /sbin/reboot script with unreliable successes - sometimes works, sometimes not .

This certainly hasn't been my experience with the 3.x kernels. A very small minority of them had problems, 10% at most, rest worked fine.

Subject description: Correct Repository		  
Hi - recently made a frugal install of Slacko 5.5 to upgrade my EeePC 900A from 5.4. GREAT OS! Everything works OTB. Thanks, Mick!

I have one suggestion, though. Perhaps the note about using Packages-puppy-slacko14-official could be in the release announcement? I had some problems with Gnome-Mplayer and tried to install about 6 versions of VLC before I found the feedback and bug reports thread and installed the right one (all is well, now).

I'm using that sfs without issue. Open a terminal and execute "grep gimp /usr/share/applications/*" -- you should only have gimp.desktop. The other place dekstop files go is ~/.local/share/applications.

I just want to report that this Puppy distro is absolutely fantastic. I've got a manual frugal install on a Compaq Presario C500 laptop with Intel graphics, Conexant audio and Broadcom wireless and I didn't have to do any fiddling, it just worked! It seems faster than my last slacko533 and it really looks nice. Also the majority of my games worked because the SDL libraries are built-in so I only had to compile SDL_sound and SDL_gfx.

I've downloaded audacious-3.3.1-i486.sfs because as you [Mick] said it comes with GTK+ 3 and I've actually used that to get a gtk3 test version of gtkdialog running, so I'm having a lot of fun at the moment Smile

I didn't get on with JWM in slacko533 (SDL fullscreen corruption still) but I like Openbox with fbpanel anyway so it doesn't matter.

Awesome work, best Puppy that I've tried and you can even view TTF files now Very Happy

Kindest regards,
Thunor

JWM-692 (irrc this ships with) has many fullscreen bugs fixed, although I still have an issue with JWM-715 in virtualbox, though I can't be 100% sure that it is JWM. I'll do some more tests and report on Joe's github site. I don't have a problem running Nexuiz (Billtoo put me on to that one, a rather large shooter [~1 GB Shocked ], open source too, uses opengl or sdl, there is a choice).

Glad you are having fun Cool .

Subject description: Font Wizard problem		  
I have been using Slacko 5.5 for a while and everything was working well.
So this may come under the category of "If it is not broke, don't fix it.
But I went to menu - desktop - fontwizard and clicked on all the options and tried apply.
All I saw initially was that the font in AbiWord seemed to be darker.
So I went back and unchecked those boxes.
Now, the fonts that appear in program headers, the menu, and other places seem ragged and I tried rechecking the boxes in fontwizard with no change.
So now I am at a loss as what to do beside reinstalling Slacko 5.5.
I should mention that the fonts were initially quite clear in all places and applications before I started playing with Fontwizard.

So, can this be verified that there is a problem with Fontwizard.

I do have the Nvidia pet installed by the way.

Also, is there an easy way out of my situation?
