Crash on resume

Okay, Ive finally realised that it is not going to be easy to fix this. I have done everything in this post so far with no success. This is a summary of what I have done. The results, however, must be taken with a grain of salt as the crashes seem to be completely random and therefore I will just st...

sorry Karl godT, I must not have explained myself properly. The battery does not get any where near flat I was just meaning that the phenomenon ocours more often if I switch between running the computer on AC to running it on battery power alone and vise versa. For instance the netbook is running on...

Thankyou Permusa but I'm sorry to say it did not work. After suspending with the modified sleep and then waking it would go back to sleep again. The second time it would wake but still had the intermittent crashes. I don't think it is a screen back-light but rather a system crash on resume. I've had...

Sorry, no change. Just tried installing on a fresh install of Macpup and also tried your advice from the last post and still only get an extra blank line in PPM and no driver in cups. I'm guessing it must be my system and don't get me wrong I love Macpup but I've been having troubles from the start ...

Sorry, couldn't install the package. Ran it okay but in PPM there are no new packages just an extra blank line. Looked in pup and no new drivers available either. I also tried uninstalling gutenprint and reinstalling the pet but still nothing

Suspend to Ram

Thanks for ur laptop.pet. I have been struggling to get my pup to sleep since I got her. One issue though, about every 1 out of 4 times that I put my netbook (Pendo u1000- d425 Atom, Ralink 3090 wireless card) to sleep it doesn't wake up properly. The screen does not turn on nor the wireless card an...

Thanks bigpup for getting back to me so quickly. The laptop.pet has helped out a lot. The lid closing and sleep button know work but it still doesn't recover from sleep properly with a blank screen and the wireless card does not come on either. The only sign of life is the led and the cpu fan.

Cheers

Canon MX880 not working

I'm a newbie using Macpup 5.2.8 and I've been fumbling around in the dark for the last two weeks trying to print to my mx880. I got cups to find the printer on the network thanks to your wireless package but when I print something nothing happens. Also tried downloading other drivers that you have o...
