I installed frugal to hard disk.

It works well. Here's my observations so far.

I found 2 windows XP apps that will work with Wine.

Lucky Backup ---> http://luckybackup.sourceforge.net/download.html
mp3DirectCut ---> http://mpesch3.de1.cc/mp3dc.html
For editing mp3 files directly.

There are some right click utilities that I installed

Pfindplus-1.0 ---> http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=110596

This adds a search to a hard disk .

pupmd5sum 1.4 ---> http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=84019

I set up my wacom tablet.
The xorg driver is already installed by default :lol:

However I had to make the operating system recognize the driver
by using the old method of

Code: Select all

depmod
modprobe wacom
Also changing the xorg.conf file
(the path is /etc/X11/xorg.conf )

You must now modify this new xorg.conf file with a text editor.

Here's my 'Server Layout' for a Bamboo tablet

Code: Select all


Section "ServerLayout"
    # For non-LCD tablets only
    # Only a few TabletPCs support this type
   # For Intuos3/CintiqV5/Graphire4/Bamboo tablets
    Identifier     "X.org Configured"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice    "stylus" "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice    "eraser" "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice    "cursor" "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice    "touch" "SendCoreEvents"
    InputDevice    "pad"
EndSection	
and then after the definitions of mouse and keyboard
I inserted

Code: Select all

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "stylus"
    Driver         "wacom"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"    # USB ONLY
    Option         "Type" "stylus"
    Option         "USB" "on"                  # USB ONLY
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "eraser"
    Driver         "wacom"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"    # USB ONLY
    Option         "Type" "eraser"
    Option         "USB" "on"                  # USB ONLY
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "cursor"
    Driver         "wacom"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"    # USB ONLY
    Option         "Type" "cursor"
    Option         "USB" "on"                  # USB ONLY
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "pad"
    Driver         "wacom"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"    # USB ONLY
    Option         "Type" "pad"
    Option         "USB" "on"                  # USB ONLY
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "touch"
    Driver         "wacom"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/input/wacom"    # USB ONLY
    Option         "Type" "touch"
    Option         "USB" "on"                  # USB ONLY
EndSection	
Then restart X

The pen is now properly recognized, however GIMP needs to be setup for input device.

pfind is buggy in the openbox Window manager .

You can try bulldog finder as a replacement

@csipesz, I tried booting the ISO file in a qemu virtual machine, but it failed with this message

Code: Select all

SeaBIOS (version...)
iPXE ...
Booting from DVD/CD
ISOLINUX 3.73 ...: Image checksum error, sorry...
Boot failed: press a key to retry...
This is the md5 checksum
c13d3e1b52549e3c7b71bbcde693657b precise-5.7.1Retro-CsipeszPup-Rev16EngHun2017May.iso
Is it correct?
Do you know if your ISO can boot in a qemu virtual machine?
Thank you

Try the following with the openbox window manager:

After a search for a file, right click on a name on the hit list
and choose an operation. The right click menu that pops up
forms an independent window that is hard to close.
I find that I have to quit pfind.

I've little experience with a qemu virtual machine,
but I would suggest burning the hungarian precise ISO to a CD
(Make sure it works by booting up an old computer with it)

Then proceed to see if you can boot from qeum using the actual CD.
(but maybe you don't have a CD player :cry: and this can't be done)
Here's a reference...
https://linux-tips.com/t/booting-from-a ... g-qemu/136
It is also possible to use your regular cdrom device too. If the device is /dev/cdrom you can boot a cd in the device like that:

qemu-system-x86_64 -boot d -cdrom /dev/cdrom -m 512

I recommend a portable burner
LG GP-30 DVD writer
Very useful to have around.

I checked if my version of GIMP 2.8.22 (june 2017)
would work in "CsipeszPup" and to my surprise it does,
including gmic plugins. I included foreign languages as separate package.

@leonid: I'm sorry, colleague, but I always had my desktop computer, so I did not even encounter this problem...
Please ask the forum members to help if there is a solution for sleeping mode for precise puppy 5.7.1?
