That sounds like you have accidentally messed up the boot mechanism on the USB drive. You may need to reinstall it. Thank you for the suggestion, @rcrsn51 - but I'm not sure what you mean. Re-install the .iso onto the USB stick? I've done that several times. Maybe I should ask: How do I get to a te...

I am trying to install precise-5.7-retro.iso onto my eeePC 701 (4G). I was able to get it running fine from the USB, but then when I loaded GRUB onto the hard disk sda1, it started this bizarre behaviour: GRUB loading stage 2 Starting up ...

I have installed Macpup 528 v2 on VirtualBox. The Host is Windows 7. The Virtual Machine boots fine from its Virtual Hard Disk (Macpup.vdi, 8GB). I change my settings (time zone, resolution, etc.) and everything works fine. But when I shut down, and Macpup says I should save my .2fs session file to ...

Puppy Linux is just too fragile. There's always something going wrong for me. This time, for no apparent reason, when I rebooted, it went into an endless loop: "... Patch mode 38 to resolution 800X400 complete touch: cannot touch 'tmp/bootcnt.txt': Read-only file system -sh /tmp/bootkernel.log:...

Awesome! That worked beautifully, thanks, trio!

Now, do I dare try to set autohide = true?

I appreciate your help, trio. But as I said in my previous post, BOTH /root/.jwmrc-tray and /root/.jwmrc-tray.bak are blank - 0 bytes.

Thank you for the helpful reply, aragon. 1. jwm -p gives "Segmentation Fault" What does that mean? Just a corrupted file, I hope. Everything else is working fine. 2. /root/.jwmrc-tray and /root/.jwmrc-tray.bak are blank - 0 bytes. 3. /initrd.gz exists. I copied it to a new folder, extracte...

Running a brand-new install of BrowserLinux on my eeePC 701. I tried to add the virtual desktop displays by usng the JWM Configuration Manager. Nothing changed, even though I clicked the "Restart JWM" button. I also selected Autohide to "On", and that's when the taskbar disappear...

On windows, there's Launchy and Keybreeze. On Mac there's Quicksilver. On KDE there's Katapult. On Gnome there's Gnome-Do. But there's also Mercury, which runs just fine on Puppy! http://www.marengo-ltd.com/mercury/ It does require the prior installation of the SDL libraries from PETget. And you can...

I found how to create a keyboard shortcut with ROX-filer.

Right-click the icon, Edit Item, Click to set, OK!

OK, I fingered it out. On boot, <F2> lists many boot options, one of which is fsck - File System ChecK. That got rid of the stale pid.

I hope that helps others that get into such a pickle.

Running Pupeee 4.2 on eeePC 701 4G. All was working fine until xorg refused to start. After a couple of reboots, I have my jwm desktop, but I can't connect to my wireless LAN. The DHCP Daemon, dhcpcd, refuses to run, giving the error: Error, ath0: open '/var/run/dhcpcd-ath0.pid': Stale NFS file hand...

Thanks for the reply, downsouth.

Ah, but how does one delete a stale NFS Handle? I tried from the command line and from ROX-Filer, the "stale handle" just can't be handled!

Well, I clicked on "New Topic", but it isn't, really. Puppy Linux is evolving very quickly, so there is a LOT of out-of-date information on this forum and in the various tutorial documents I have read. I downloaded some dotpups following links in the Wiki. When I click on the file in ROX, ...

I don't think it exactly fits your specs, but I uploaded the latest release of Xnee here. Thanks, muggins, but you are right, Xnee is no competition for Autokey. The only near-equivalent is Snippits: http://lifehacker.com/351285/automate-repetitive-typing-with-snippits But it's such a hassle to bui...

I was able to find rarsa's suspend script here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?search_id=1711465239&t=14467 And I placed it as an icon on my Pupeee 4.2 desktop.
