Semme:

I tried all three boot parameters - no change.

Yes, my puppy is a full install on a hard drive.

I fired up the live CD as you suggested and no change - when I hover the cursor over the battery icon it shows "battery charge", same as when I am working off the hard drive.

Semme: Thanks for your willingness to help out. FYI I am working with 32-bit Tahr. I have two BAT listings under /proc/acpi/battery/BAT*: BAT0 and BAT1. Both folders have three files in them: alarm, info, and state. Here is the output of acpi -V Battery 0: Charging, 92%, 456:00:00 until charged Batt...

Been reading the discussion around battery status monitoring apps around this forum (e.g., http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=100492&start=15), mainly because the version that accompanies Tahrpup is not working on my Dell laptop. There is an icon displayed, but it never changes - const...

OP here. Sorry for not responding to your first post earlier, Puppyt – just been too busy at work, out in the field, etc.

I did perform a re-install of Puppy Precise 5.7.1 using the “upgrade

Candi worked flawlessly in setting up my Canon MG5320 printer using MG5300 series deb packages on Puppy Precise 5.7.1 per the updated instructions on page 1. Many many thanks, rcrsn51, for your printer expertise and contributions to this forum - from one Canuck to another!

Well, rather than take the plunge and reinstall Puppy Precise, I managed to get wireless working manually. Here are the commands I issued in a terminal: First this one: wpa_supplicant -i wlan0 -D wext -c /etc/network-wizard/wireless/wpa_profiles/wpa_supplicant2.conf then, I open up a second terminal...

BTW, how do I run the pfix=clean parameter? If I insert the CD into the disk drive, do I have to specify the partition where the full install resides (e.g. /dev/sda2) or will the livecd automatically pick up on that? Mark P.S. If this doesn't work, I just might bite the bullet, reformat the drive to...

Hey, Bigpup:

I've tried replacing some of the wpa_ files from the Precise disk as you had suggested earlier, but still no luck in getting the wireless working again. Before I go ahead with the upgrade route, I might try the pfix=clean or your gparted procedure as options for fixing my problem.

Bigpup, I will try replacing the wpa files to see if this corrects the problem. I will search around to see where they area all located. Any idea which file is responsible for creating the socket file under /var/run/wpa_supplicant? Is it one of the wpa files, or does the wpa_supplicant file invoke s...

Bigpup: The error shows up following Step 11. Instead of receiving the Box you describe at Step 12, I get a box stating "Unable to establish WPA connection" which contains two buttons "OK" and "Details". Selecting "Details" opens up a new box showing: connecti...

OK, Bigpup, I replaced the files as you suggested and still no joy. I am still unable to connect, with the output of 'wpa-cli -i wlan status' still showing me “Failed to connect to wpa_supplicant - wpa_ctrl_open: No such file or directory

OK - I've run e2fsck a few times and it indicates everything is clean.

Tried connecting wireless and still get the same results.

Hello: I'm hoping that there are a couple of Puppy Linux experts out there that can help me resolve my wireless network connection. I have been using Puppy for a number of years on an older Dell laptop with very few problems, upgrading to newer versions along the way. I currently have version 5.7.1 ...

I have installed Gnomad 2.9.6 on a laptop running Lucid 5.2.0. The program loads up fine and I am able to view files on both the laptop and the android device (Asus tablet). When I click a button to transfer a file, however, the Gnomad window disappears. Yet, the file transfer still takes place. I s...

Like the subject line asks, is there a UTF-8 english language package for Lucid 5.2.0? I've searched around and can't find anything.

Thanks for any help.

Has anyone attempted to install Firefox 8 using the method described here?

If so, care to share your experience?

I am writing this post to confirm with other more experienced puppy users my understanding of how to deal with package management. Here's the scenario: I just recently upgraded a full hard drive install from Puppy version 2.17.1 to version 4.3.1. The process went quite smoothly, with the new version...

Béèm, aragon, & big_bass: Thank you all for your prompt replies. I was able to download the library files from ttuuxxxs repository and get filezilla working (after figuring out that I had to rename the files to eliminate the version numbers at the end of the filename)! I didn't need to use your ...

I am attempting to install Filezilla 3.0.2.1 ftp client on Puppy v2.17, full hd install. When checking dependencies, I get this messaage: These dependencies required by FileZilla-3.0.2.1 package are missing: File /bin/filezilla has these missing library files: libgcrypt.so.11 libgpg-error.so.0 A sea...
