i have now had a repeat of the same problem. i needed to reinstall puppy to my flash drive, and found ether the same or nearly the same portion of the tree missing. i fixed it by doing a mass copy again.

thanks again, but i already tried that.

from all i can tell i really need a newer alsa drivers package, and it looks like i will need to compile it myself.

i'm taking a short break from my housekeeping so i will have to hunt up a how-to on compiling later when i can just sit here and surf the net.

well that didn't work.

i'm now guessing that i need to learn how to compile so i can get the latest drivers package on my machine.

thanks!

am trying it out

new info did dogpile search, and found out that the x-fi mb is a software emulated x-fi on (in this case) the intel hdmi hardware. more searching found that alsa 1.0.18 or maybe newer supports that intel hardware. so i tried installing all the alsa .pets for version 1.0.20. the alsa wiz still doesn'...

it would help any diagnosis to give some more information: "a big chunk" doesn't describe the portion of the tree you found missing, for instance everything in the branch below </lib/modules/2.6.30.5/kernel> plus most things from </lib/modules/2.6.30.5>, and the directory </lib/modules/al...

sorry, i clicked the wrong button, this post was meant to go to the

would a mod please move it there

tried my first install to a flash drive. everything seemed ok till i tried to connect to the internet. no interface was active, even though the live cd did have one. tried to load my best guess for a module and got messages about files not existing. did a bit of looking at both the live cd files (wh...

the first "home" computer i got to work/play on was the atari 800. it used a tv for a monitor, and had the os on a cartrige just like the games it had. there was tape drive for storage, and later i got a 5 1/2 floppy which was a bootable drive. the whole thing was pretty useless as compute...

hmmm first off i may be misinformed, but with twisted pair wires speed is also based on the number of twists per measure of distance (it may be foot, yard, or meter). the signal to noise ratio is lowered with more twists as discussed below. this is why inside wiring of most new phone lines has gone ...

interesting.
the rt2500 mod is the driver for a ralink chipset, not atheros. funny that it works.

I have an Acer 5050-5954, which has an Atheros card for wireless. good wireless chipset in my opinion. here is how i got my wifi card with that chipset working; first i used the win98se driver software. second because it didn't work i played with things i didn't know anything about. there was a .ca...

i'm running a presario 1277 laptop, and i am having no trouble with my logitech optical usb mouse even though i have never disabled my touchpad. but then i have really not tried it with the newest linux kernel used by puppy.

sorry about being so late with this, but was in hospital, and am catching up on many things since.

thanks, will give it a shot when i get the time.

As Barry said in the dingo alpha2 bugs thread today, the output at the console from running probepart with the problem devices mounted is whats needed. If that doesn't recognize the device then probedisk and fdisk -l (thats an L) would also be helpful You should probably try out the new pmount firs...

in 2.17 pmount sees hda1 as removable media drive with media removed. i would never have noticed this if mut was still default for desktop drives icon. having seen this i checked other partitions including my other fat32 partition, and it looks like they are all seen correctly. i also checked pmoun...
