(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Updated to the latest,first checking it out before adding my existing save file.All upgraded successfully using my personal settings.
The latest Seamonkey seems fine although I had no issues with the previous version.

All running ok so far.

I'm booting from the easypup 2.2.11.1 dvd with a save file on the hard drive:

EasyPup 2.2.11.1 is working well on this computer,
Thanks.

Hello.

I got interested in EasyPup and have been using it since version 2.2.7.
I like it very much.

Here are my observations:
1. The touchpad settings do not persist. I do not use the touchpad, and so I turn it off. But it is on when X restarts.

(Solved) 2. Some settings of LibreOffice are not accessible. See the attached picture. The items within the red square are not shown.

3. "reboot to commandline" of the shutdown menu does not seem to function. The result is the same as just "reboot."

4. /usr/bin/gtk-query-immodules-3.0 seems to be missing. It is necessary when an input method is set up in order to enable kanji (Japanese / Chinese characters) conversion. There exists /usr/bin/gtk-query-immodules-2.0. It is strange that its gtk-3 equivalent is missing.

Try double clicking on them.

Oh, I did not notice. Thank you.
I usually use OpenOffice, and the user interface is a little different.

Not getting internet on easypup installation. I have configured static ip in wired Lan. It shows connection established however no internet.

Yes, indeed! Quite my own case: I've been loving and using it for a few days. Works fine (frugal > USB stick > MSI CR61 4G Laptop)!
Thanks.

Why no solution for my issue

@rameshiyer

I wonder if you tried an alternative method to connect to the Internet.

Menu->Setup->Internet Connection Wizard

There you can choose from various wizards. I hope one of them will lead you to the Internet connection.

(It seems that some of the wizards do not function, though.)

You haven't really provided much information about what you have done and what you are seeing.

If you are connected but unable to "surf the web", it may be that your DNS is not set up correctly.
What tool did you use to set a static LAN IP, Frisbee?
Did you enter a DNS nameserver (or two) in the configuration, what are they?
What are the contents of /etc/resolv.conf ?

Are you able to ping IP addresses? For example:

# ping 8.8.8.8

If so, then the dhcp client is not running properly. You could then try a simple experiment:

# ifconfig
...to determine which ethernet interface is active. say it is eth0:
# dhcpcd eth0

...um, not sure about that. NetworkManager has its own internal dhcp client, so don't know if it will object.

Sir

I have wire static IP configured through network-manager -applet. However, no connection at all. I have changed automatic to manual and provided static id address.
Likewise I have done through nmtui also. (through Network Manger menu).

After googling the puppy forum, i got the location of the connection setting.
i.e. etc/networkmanager/system-connection. The file is attached for your kind perusal.

I feel there is some issued between Network-manager-applet (front end) and backend?.

... Yes, did all that. Works on wifi, recognises the SNS wired and wifi profiles, exactly like yours - (wired DCHP) doesn't connect! Not exactly a neophyte at this game, but just occasionally get inexplicable glitches - this is one! So, looking for a replicant..

Sympathies! Too much reliance on wifi when developers test their work? Maybe switch off wifi for RPi3-onwards/stop using those nasty fault-prone laptops the trade is determined to force on us ?!

I'd seriously consider downloading and installing the ISO again,assuming you've not done this already?
Then if that fails take a look at your router.

No need of downloading ISO. Moreover no issue with Router. Please understand the issue. The problem some minor issue in the network software. Nothing more.

rameshiyer,

I am unclear because you originally said "It shows connection established however no internet."
That is why I thought it might be a DNS issue.

Later you said "However, no connection at all".

When you originally allowed automatic connection (via DHCP) was everything OK?

Then when you tried to set a static IP that is when the problem started?
If so, perhaps you can tell us, or post a screenshot, of your static IP settings that you put in.

I have already given static ip in the above post. It shows connected however no actual connection. Not able to browse. I would like to inform you that in Easyos no internet on container browser. Now no internet on Easypup

Temporarily have gone back to using flsynclient, see blog post:

Numbers 3 and 4 are fixed:
