Look for "trip_points" in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ Open it as a text file and you will see the temperatures at which the fans will start. Mine is too high (70 degrees C). I can change it temporarily but I never found out how to do it permanently. One thing that I noticed, with most puppy versions I ...

Hi sc0ttman, I've played a bit with mounting ntfs partitions and the problem is definitely related to using the mount command without specifying a file type. mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 uses a different driver to mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 When "-t ntfs" is specified ntfs-3g is used to mount ...

whenever I use the above script, or the mount all button in the gui, my NTFS partitions are read only.. They mount properly if I mount them seperately, but if I use 'mount all', it's always read only NTFS... I guess this is related to the original issue where ntfs was only mounted read only. MU ...

Surely megaupload is not the best choice for such an endeavour. I have a premium account but what about the many more that don't? Downloading many small files as a free use is a pain. Even Megashares would be a better option as for free users there is no count down timer and you only have to enter ...

Hi, How does VLC know which codecs it can play? I have a version 8.6.i installed which I use as a backup but it doesn't seem to play a lot of common file types. It keeps saying no suitable decoder module. Are the codecs built in with VLC or does it use an outside library? I think mplayer has some ...

you had to use puppy pfix=copy to force to copy to ram at startup. I think in the earlier Puppies if you had 256MB or more ram then it automatically loaded the pupxxx.sfs into ram. At some point the 256MB was changed to a higher number and the pfix=copy was introduced. A pfix=noram can be added by ...

I found out that the context menu can be open with control/backslash. Are you talking about the context menu within Rox? That can be changed to open with just the backslash. From the Rox context menu go to Options>Menus and you can change that with the "File Menu on Right Click" option. You can ...

Yes I have those too. I just wanted to make sure there was nothing suspicious about them and if I deleted them then it wouldn't break anything just in case they were interfering with my internet connection.

Thanks people.

What is 192.168.1.1 in /etc/hosts

I can't seem to find what 192.168.1.1 is. It appears in my /etc/hosts but it has nothing to do with my router.

Were these just generic numbers that were used and should I just ignore them?

Thanks

Re: How do I make the 'z' key do what the 'page down' key do

It would be really handy to be able to scroll down webpages using SeaMonkey, and maybe tap the 'z' key to go down through the page. Well the simple solution is to just use the spacebar to scroll down a page. It already does the job. Although on some web pages you might have to click the mouse on ...

Yes it might be worthwhile to have TCL installed anyway. I'll also look at 4.21. I did find that there are a few non-TCL gui's about as well but but looks like it is hardly necessary as to turn them on it is just ax +stickykeys Silly name though ax. I didn't realise that was anything to do with ...

Is this where you download BrowserLinux ? Yes that was it. After you downloaded BrowserLinux did you run a checksum ? No, but I wasn't burning to disc anyway. If needed you can find most versions of Puppy at any of the Ibiblio sites on the Puppy Linux Wiki Links page. I am not sure what you are ...

If you are using the standard Puppy with JWM try looking in the hidden file:
/root/.jwmrc-tray
