I'm not necessarily referring to using Windows for new machines. If you are going to use linux on a new machine, I reckon most users will be inclined to go for a larger linux distribution like Mint instead of Puppy. Not necessarily, Nic. Some of us are fans of minimalism, even on brand-new hardware ...

Question, if you change kernel, for example in tahr64 6.0.5, must you also give the following command from a terminal: echo -n t151216173205ZZZZ6.0.5XXXXXXXXXX >> /path/to/vmlinuz echo -n t151216173205ZZZZ6.0.5XXXXXXXXXX >> /path/to/zdrv_tahr64_6.0.5.sfs to change the DISTRO_IDSTRING in the new ...

Corvus, did you try boot parameter "pkeys=it"? This did the trick I'm very happy Thanks. :D What changes if you specify the keyboard layout in the boot parameter instead of the quick setup settings? Anyway Thanks again Dry Falls for the time you have dedicated to the resolution of my problem. corvus

Tried, unfortunately my keyboard does not work properly, you can rule out the kernel and initrd as the root of the problem.

Corvus, I was wondering if you have an older box or laptop? Sorry for the lack of information, here is my inxi output: System: Kernel: 4.1.3-JL-64 x86_64 (64 bit, gcc: 4.8.2) Desktop: Openbox 3.5.0 Machine: System: ASUSTeK (portable) product: X555LB version: 1.0 Mobo: ASUSTeK model: X555LB version ...

Hi Dry Falls, I tried several versions of Just-lighthouse and I found it one in which my keyboard work OOTB downloaded from the following link: http://archive.org/download/Puppy_Linux_Lighthouse64/150816-JL64-603.iso . I tried to replace the folder /lib/keymaps of JL64-702 Slackware-14.2 with that ...

Hi corvus ! Tested your script with Savefolder #!/bin/sh mkdir /mnt/home/puppyfilesystem cp -a /initrd/pup_ro1/* /initrd/pup_rw/* /mnt/home/puppyfilesystem wait cd /mnt/home/puppyfilesystem rm -r ./tmp ./mnt ./initrd ./sys ./root/.cache/* ./root/.thumbnails/* ./root/.Trash/* ./root/.XLOADED ./var ...

Did you see my prior post with regards to booting SFS files automatically? Yes I did and I'll try to create an ydrv from the sfs I need although I think it is better to put a command in /etc/rc.d/rc.local, as you suggested, but don't know what command, can you give me some tips? Thanks in advance ...

I'm sorry Dry Falls, but even changing the folder does not change anything.

BTW - Why did you include /initrd/pup_ro1 in your first script? Because I want to include my savefolder stuff in "adrv" and when I run puppy with savefolder /initrd/pup_a/ is only an empty folder as shown in screenshot 1, the savefolder stuff are stored in /initrd/mnt/dev_save/tahr64/tahr64save and ...

Hi all, following my experience about: Puppy booted from USB key with savefolder: #!/bin/sh mkdir /mnt/home/puppyfilesystem cp -a /initrd/pup_ro1/* /initrd/pup_rw/* /mnt/home/puppyfilesystem wait cd /mnt/home/puppyfilesystem rm -r ./tmp ./mnt ./initrd ./sys ./root/.cache/* ./root/.thumbnails ...

Hi Dry Falls, I'm posting from JL64 right now. I followed your suggestions but no success, it is not only "alt gr" key issue but the problem afflicts many of the keys located on the right side of the keyboard: - "alt gr" acts as "enter"; - "stamp r sist" acts as "canc"; - "canc" does not work ...

The fact that he was elected in spite of everything was contrary to his election is a great lesson of democracy and the American people is definitely an example to follow. Nevertheless the actual signing of musher0 fully expresses what I think.

Posting from JLH 64. I made a .txt file with the email... More precisely, the support of the "alt gr" key & the up down left right arrows is dead. Will try to swap /etc/keymap config file with that from FD The same here with Italian keyboard layout, anyway a wonderful Puppy derivative. Thanks Dry ...

@Johnnyboy I have an ASUS A555L notebook with hybrid video card and I had the same problem, solved using xorgwizard and choosing modesetting video driver. Hope this helps. @666philb I'm using tahrpup 6.0.5 CE on my old Fujitsu Amilo A 7620 and tahrpup64 6.0.5 CE on the last, above mentioned ...

Make sure your /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.gnome.Gconf.service has the following content: [D-BUS Service] Name=org.gnome.GConf Exec=/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconfd-2 Yes, the content is present. I think something hardware-dependent. It is likely but we would have the certainty only if other users ...

watchdog wrote: You do not need dbus and dbus-glib from wary: they are not compatible with lucid. Lucid has built-in dbus and dbus-glib.

Even without the result does not change.

Cheers.

I'm sorry I thought we had already started working on it, I'm not a scripting expert consequently I'm not useful in this phase maybe later when you have to test it on the field.

Cheers.

@watchdog Just did a fresh install of Lucid Puppy 5.2.8.7. Installed dbus-1.2.4.2permissive-1-w5.pet, dbus-glib-0.82-w5.pet and seamonkey2.46-en_US-w5-glibc219tweak.pet, copied in /usr/sbin run-as-spot script from slacko 6.3.2, launched via terminal: # run-as-spot seamonkey2.46 (seamonkey:12988 ...
