Thanks ardvark for your help and information - much appreciated. I knew I was missing something, but could not figure out what it was. I had gbrainy running in Ubuntu a long time ago. I'm going to hold off for the time being (i.e. "dependency hell"). Interestingly, I have it running in my ...

I downloaded this game and all dependencies listed; the last window advised I was missing GTK2.0-binver-2.10.0. I have searched everywhere I can think of without success. Anyone running gbrainy in Lucid?

I am using this with Lucid 5.28 and it works great. I installed it using a .pet for an earlier version. Just search for it under Additional Software on the forum. This is a very intuitive, and very powerful photo editing software application with an amazing built-in context help menu. I use it along...

THANK YOU dancytron - followed your link for Lucid - works great w/java - jre-6u22-Lucid sfs4.sfs as well. This is a great example of why I don't stray from Puppy!!

Lightzone by Lightcraft recently went open source. On this forum, there are some old posts about people running this program in Puppy. I have been running GIMP and fotoxx (in Puppy 528) - both great software but without the current sophistication of Lightzone which is a java application. I would lov...

Also, Stellarium SFS can be downloaded from the Quickpet PM get SFS tab. It works great and I do not recall having to install anything else.

I am using the same default configuration as you are - with the addition of Wbar which is a light weight dock where I have my favorite and most used applications. I've tried just about everything else there is and find that although the configuration I use now has less eye candy, it is extremely fas...

I've have been using Puppy for the past few years as my main distro - ever since Ubuntu went in a different direction. Started out with MacPup and then switched to Lucid 5.28-005. Both always work extremely well, and I have been extremely satisfied. I have a fairly new (3yrs) multi-core computer, an...

Here is my Puppy - wallpaper made in GIMP.

Once again Puppy proves it is the best. My previous post indicated my problem with my OLD HP Photosmart 1215. Today I picked up a HP Deskjet 1000 for a little more than it would have cost to replace my Photosmart cartridges. Only problem was CUPS did not have the correct driver. I searched the forum...

Thanks for your replies and suggestions. I don't believe it is a software issue or a problem with the file because I was able to print the documents correctly with another computer and printer. I ran the printer utility to clean the cartridges and noticed the ink levels are around 15% on both Color ...

I have been using Lucid 5.28 for sometime now with great success. My HP Photosmart 1215 printer has always worked flawlessly with any Puppy including 5.28. Recently while trying to print a PDF file I noticed that the output is distorted where every other line of the document is cut off halfway (the ...

Hi jolato -- I am nowhere close to an expert here, but with Grub4dos, it was surprisingly easy to set up a triple boot system with Puppy Lupu 528, Ubuntu 10.4 LTS and Windows XP. Using Gparted to create a partition, I simply installed XP on a separate NTFS partition. I already had Ubuntu and puppy (...

I have been using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS as my main desktop OS for quite some time now. I use Mac Pup on an old IBM Think-pad. I love them both. I'm not crazy about where Ubuntu has gone with Unity, but I was surprised to see that my arrangement of a launcher dock was similar - mine being on the other sid...

I've been using GIMP for years and have not experienced this issue. When you select "print" from the menu, do you get a pop up window which allows you to set up the parameters for printing? In this menu, you have under the General Settings, a place to select your printer, or to print to fi...

gcmartin - you are obviously more informed on this subject than I am. I would love to be able to use a Linux Distro like Puppy on my e-reader tablet. It is a 7" Android 2.2 e-reader with tablet functionality and I love the device. However, I am an amateur photographer who is heavily into the GI...

I am not a developer - just a user of Puppy who benefits from the fantastic work of people willing to put hours of work into this distro and it's many Puplets and share it with folks like me. I actually do not take much issue with your post, except for the fact that you seem to ignore the millions o...

nooby - I am not sure I completely understand your question but here goes anyway. I use Clonzilla only as a live CD that I burned after downloading the .iso file. It s not permanently installed on any hard disk or USB drive, and I believe it was intended to work this way so that it can shut down the...

Smokey01, I am not an expert but there seem to be no reason why it would not work that I can see. If you have Puppy installed in a separate partition you would simply back up that partition and restore it when needed. If Puppy occupies your entire hard disk it should do the same thing it does with m...

I have used Clonzilla many times and I cannot say how many times it has saved me from complete disaster. It can back up partitions or entire disk drives by making an image file of what you choose to back up. When you restore the lost or corrupted partition or disk it over writes the data with the sa...
