it happened the same for firefox. (later I installed nighty from repos)
any clues why this error??

Anyway, as Kirk said, it is a beta driver ...Do you have links for these? I do have a desktop that uses embedded nVidia graphics (an old one by today's standard) but I don't run it long enough for this to happen.prehistoric wrote:With other systems there are workarounds for invisible cursor syndrome. Do these apply here?
Yes, it's coming, but don't get your hopes too high. We use a very recent Xorg version (1.15.0) and in the recent past all attempts to build a working package has failed (smokey can attest to this).As I recall from past experience with other systems on this motherboard this does not happen with official nVidia drivers. It would be nice to have those when possible.
EDIT: You need devx installed for this to work.The terminal commands "update"/"updatedb" which is suppose to support the locate command do not work
Yes, this is a regression, as L18L pointed out in post before and after yours. Your chosen locale is in fact used, but every time the choose locale will always show "C" as your current locale.Added additional desktops before entering ControlPanel>Localization>SetLocale; upon setting selected the option to allow X resttart. When desktop restarted, additional desktops were reset to the 2 at startup.
I was being an idiot for not seeing the obvious. Fixed.L18L wrote:No. We can I have done it.
You can always say "No" to the prompt and only restarts them on the final change ...Each item I select in Control Panel gets X restart Localizations, Hostname, etc. (Maybe an option for BarryK's "FirstRUN" where all of this is set in a single screen may be a good future option for FATDOG)
I get the same result as you. I never get "resume" to work with my radeon-based laptop. Kirk has been more successful with Intel graphics. I don't have a solution here unless you can point out a version of Puppy (Slacko, Dpup or whatever) that has the suspend feature working for you; and perhaps we can apply the lesson from them.chiron wrote:closing the lid works fine, puts the machine into suspend.

Fatdog is not based on any other distro. Thus there isn't any other distro list in the Package Manager. You may be able to use Debian amd64 packages from the time of Fatdog64 600 was first built (early 2012) - can't remember the series name now. Download them, then click to install the DEBs --- do not attempt to install directly from the browser.One question, what distro's repositories can I use (inside the FD paket manager) to get additional software?
There may be a way to re-create that blinking network icon....I miss some blinking globe or something to tell me I'm online...
Where do you install the dropbox from?joaomcteixeira wrote:there is no dropbox on which.
The thing is,
I am trying to run an executable file from a folder, which I can see in the file manager and in the terminal and than I get the error
"No such file your directory"
I can see the file, but when I go to run the systems says the file is "not there".
Which firefox did you install? Are you sure you get the 64-bit version?never got this error before..
the problem with firefox was similar. I downloaded the firefox.tar from the website, unpacked it, ./firefox (like allways).... "No such file your directory".
Don't know what you want to fix....prehistoric wrote:Here's the simple fix to get downloaded file names in the message box of the package manager script. Single quotes prevent evaluation of $FILE. I've included the first few lines to show context. The fix is a one-liner.

And did from the ground up. Same machine. Fatdog is not based on any other distro. Thus there isn't any other distro list in the Package Manager.

I don't have that. Is there some sequence of events that will trigger that for you or does it do it all the time and immediately after booting? Hmm...there does seem to be a lot of google hits for that.why is that fatdog continuously runs kswap0 (consumes 25% of my CPU)
First I've heard of it. I'll take a look.Has anybody tried to get Pipelight working in any puppies?
This is usually a kernel bug in one module. If you can find which module is causing it to hang then you might be able to unload the module before suspend and reload after. The script to modify would be /etc/acpi/actions/suspend.sh. You might get some clues by looking in /var/log/messages.old after you reboot. If it's radeon hanging it, you're probably out of luck.get the same result as you. I never get "resume" to work with my radeon-based laptop. Kirk has been more successful with Intel graphics.

FD600 works fine, for example Wink And did from the ground up. Same machine.
Prehistoric, I posted nvidia drivers - nvidia-legacy and nvidia. I tested nvidia-legacy, it worked (ie it boots and youtube plays fine). I see that Billtoo has compiled his own nvidia drivers (the legacy version) and it also works fine. I don't, however, have any hardware to test the new nvidia driver, so YMMV. They are in the FPM (or you download directly from ibiblio/nluug as usual).prehistoric wrote:@don570,

Minor problem: when I click download arrow on the Nightly toolbar, and ask to open the Download folder, I get three windows. Can anyone guess why?
Positive note: no more video problems while using FB driver.
Never had problems on the machine with Intel graphics.
Not fair !FD600 works fine, for example Wink And did from the ground up. Same machine.
FD600 is using (by today's standards) ancient kernel; a lot have changed between then and now. You need to find an example that works with a recent kernel. As kirk said, it's probably one of the kernel modules.No, sorry, because nobody has compiled (either from scratch or from other distros) KDE and KDE related apps yet ...After having installed some KDE Science Apps (including, of course, KDE...) with just a few clicks in slacko, I was wondering, if there might be some automated process in FD, too.
I missed stellarium too.
