I searched long and hard but my googlefu is failing me. I would like a puppy or similar distro that would fly on 32 GB of ram , a LGA 2011 proc that runs at 4.5 GHZ, and has a AMD R9 300 series video card. Most important it must save like Puppy v5 Lucid. eg asks if you want to save when you shut dow...

The printer now works in Fatdog and Mint with the one little nag: "Status: waiting for printer to finish" in the printer choices. In Windows I could install the printer using the URL, not so with CUPS. I replaced the printer motherboard about 5 years ago. The new board was password protect...

I tried Puppy's settings in Fatdog but it had only the v5.2.1 driver not v5.2.5. Good thing about Linux is if something doesnt work in one distro, there are lots to choose from. My printer works in RedHat 9, Core 2, early Ubuntu, Puppy Lucid, Mint Rosa. I am trying to escape from Microsoft Win 7 . M...

In Puppy I used cups. I chose Optra E. The driver I chose was : 1 description Lexmark Optra T612 2 location try 3 driver: Lexmark Optra E - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.5 (grayscale, 2-sided printing) 4 connection http://192.168.0.151:631/ipp/ 5 defaults: blah blah blah I got Mint 17.3 working by using the ...

@ rcrsn51 Cups doesnt autodetect the Optra T , but detects three newer printers. USB connection impossible. @gcmartin All the boxes are set up with Optra T612(MS) not T612(PS) being that they are all windows. I got the printer working in Puppy Lucid months ago. Anyways I'm off and wont be back for a...

gcmarten The printer is on a lan working with 10 or so boxes from Win 3.1 to Win 7. IP is 192.168.0.151. I can see it in my browser. Where is the "device manager" or the "control panel" so I can see the printers properties? I think I need a slackware driver for it to work. 64 bit...

rcrsn51 I used the PPD in the cups internet site installer yesterday. "print test page" printer is unresponsive. Added the PPD file to user/share/cups/model . There is no run cups setup as there is no cups program- just the internet site. So I went on the site again and went through the in...

Howdy. I have a motherboard asus p9x79 le and a gpu amd r9 285 with 16GB of ram. I have fatdog64 multisession running just fine. I have tried to get my printer Lexmark Optra T612 running a few days but no luck so far. Lexmark's site has drivers for the following: deb looks good? AIX [8] COMPAQ TRUE6...

I found out what was going on. The Puppy box is fed into a KVM.
If the KVM is selected to Puppy when I start Puppy, it goes straight to the desktop.
If the KVM is selected to one of the other computers when I start Puppy
it goes to the probe first.

Nope I just ran puppy live and everything worked. Lan ,sound ,video.
Having to press enter for the probe on startup is no hardship.
Same success with a IBM T42 laptop, except no probe prompt.

Well a lot has happened! partsman: no it happens every time no matter how I save it. BEWARE! Semme's answer caused problems. Two days later I shutdown with saving and when I started up the verbose: stopped with a xorg read error. " please type xorgwizard" Which did nothing. Then I typed th...

I opened a console and typed what you wrote and it did the job. Thank you.

Thanks for the reply. I'll try it tomorrow .

This quote is from Kajaan on July 24 2010 with no reply. It is exactly my problem: "Unfortunately that hasn't been the case for me with Puppy 5.0. I've saved everytime I shutdown, but still get the Puppy Video Wizard everytime I start up. So I guess I would like to know "how to set and sav...
