Re: KeePassX: QT4-based password manager

[quote="muggins"]http://www.keepassx.org/

Thank you very much for providing this info. I've been using Keepass here on Windows for quite some time, and this fills the last hole I've had on the Puppy stick I've been creating for work. :)

Very useful!!

Re: VestaPup Released 7/1/08

Now... To get Nexuiz running. :D Well, Nexuiz drops right in. Just unzip it in /root (or in my case /root/games) and play. Both glx and SDL versions seem to work here. UT2004's demo also seems to drop right in. Very nice. :-) Enemy Territory installed fine, but there isn't any sound. I had similar ...

Being able to save is nice. :-)

It's my pleasure the solution has been found. Thank you again for your timely assistance. I also had to load drivers by wizards for the network card (old-fashioned PCI rtl8029) and the sound card (SB-16 Vibra ISA-type). After the configurations were saved, they work fine. Sadly, most of my Puppy bo...

Huh. Just noticed that the 3c59x NIC driver fails to load.

I wonder if a lot of the PCI card detection stuff is off a little? 2.12 and 2.11 used to autodetect both of the NICs in this box, but 2.13 and 2.14 don't detect either one.

At least the Puppy Network Configuration's manual module loader works. :-)

Eureka. "puppy nopcmcia" is the solution.

I spent several hours to solve it. After trying lot of modifications, at the end (checking the modification in /etc/rc.d/rc.modules file) I tried boot up with 'nopcmcia' boot parameter and YES, puppy 2.14 boots up flawlessly. Whaddaya know. I just tried that in 2.14, and it worked. Huh. :shock: 2.1...

2.14 boot sequence also fails with Matrox Millenium

Hardware is a Compaq Deskpro 6200 (PPro/200, 196MB RAM, Adaptec 2940U SCSI controller, SB AWE32, 4MB Matrox MGA Millenium (original, not Millenium II). Puppy 2.11 and 2.12 both work fine (except for detecting SCSI disks), but neither Puppy 2.13 nor 2.14 finish the boot sequence. Actually, all versio...

FWIW, the same CD boots just fine on my work laptop.

I have no idea what video card it has, but the laptop didn't seem to notice a change at all in boot behavior. Hopefully this issue will be fixed in 2.14. I'm especially interested in newer versions of Puppy because it sounds like some level of SCSI disk support is also starting to appear in the Pupp...

Yup. Xvesa server running @ 1024x768x16 using a 4MB Matrox MGA Millenium. The other box I've tried this one (both are Compaq Deskpro 6200s) shows the exact same symptoms. The other boxes can't boot from CD (no BIOS support for it and no newer BIOS rev to flash), so they aren't viable guinea pigs fo...

Have you tried alsamixer , to see if your volume is turned up? Alsamixer appears to be a command-line utility with no man page or other documentation on the system (default Puppy 2.02). Not very useful. Xtmix was more helpful. I now am heading things from aplay and XMMS. Thanks for the hint!! :-) (...

I forgot to mention, no output equals a positive response when inserting a module for an internal(non-hotpluggable) device. If your SB had not been recognized modprobe would have thrown an error. I actually figured that was the case. Thanks for the confirmation, tho. In addition, gxine dying probab...

As for Puppy 2.x audio, try "modprobe snd-sbawe". Alsa has some problems detecting isa cards in 2.x, but putting that modprobe line in /etc/rc.local should have you up and running. The above line returns no output (no errors, no positive response), but I'm still not hearing sound on my Pu...

It doesn't work! Unix/Linux originated on scsi, but things have moved on. Many distros don't work with scsi now, although the kernel may detect it. I've been badgering Barry to activate the function in his installer, but he doesn't have scsi HW himself (or time, I suspect!). I just took a serious l...
