See if chain.c32 is in /usr/lib/syslinux The "syslinux" directory doesn't even exist with /usr/lib. Just to make sure something is not wrong with the file system. Run Gparted and do a check on the ext4 partition. Not sure what kind of check you meant, but I checked the properties of the partition ...

LazY, yes! My bad. 64 bit.

So nothing I can do in that case?

When I get the time, that's what I want to focus on next; however, I also want to try to wipe my current T-bird installation clean from my system and just start from the beginning with a good, self contained, thunderbird.sfs file. How I do remove something that I installed just unpacking a tar ball ...

Hi all, I'm trying to write a bootloader with Grub4dos to an ext4 formatted partition and I seem to be missing some library. (For Tahrpup 6.0.5) Attatched are the screenshots showing my process, including error dialogue boxes. The final error message in grub4dosconfig.log is: Writing... /mnt/sdc1 ...

That's my plan when I get pockets of time.

I hope to beef it up along side my current OS and then maybe switch to Puppy when I have it on par with my daily OS, because when Puppy's running like I need it to, I see the results in productivity with daily work.

Ok will remove them and try.

Once I remove them, do I have to manually "adduser" in terminal and then run the installer, or do I just run the installer?

I think I had tried the 1.8.1 version on Tahrpup without any luck, but also, isn't that a little dated now?

I hadn't and it looks interesting, but now I'm quite content in that area with Kupfer.

Thanks LazY Puppy! This has given me new inspiration to get my other apps working to set up my environment the way I need it.

When Puppy runs smooth it's snappiness is such a delight.

Ok found them, but I'm a bit hesitant to remove them. Are those related to my previous attempts to install XAMPP, or are they something that ships with Puppy? Will it not cause other problems with other operations/apps if I remove them? On a secondary note, does anyone have a very up-to-date SFS of ...

Definitely downloaded launchy that way. I'm 90% certain that I did that version of Kupfer that way too, but I can't be 100% certain because I tried so many avenues. Launchy always worked for me (though quite buggy). Thanks for pets. I do prefer the sfs' though. I guess I could always roll back to a ...

OMG success ! Can't believe we miscommunicated on something as simple as the bits. Buuuut..... Now I have another problem. :-/ In trying to do all I these solutions...in the process... I downloaded and installed both Kupfer and Launchy from the PPM. Usually I can just see them in the uninstall list ...

Same error:

I've been trying Rojun's solution of manually adding a group and user but I'm running into this error on terminal in Tahrpup6.0.5: Adding group `mysql' (GID 1001) ... addgroup: `/usr/sbin/groupadd -g 1001 mysql' returned error code 1. Exiting. Any suggestions? I also tried running: adduser -G mysql ...

Copied and pasted directly: puppy_tahr64_6.0.5.sfs Just noticed something. Perhaps I neglected earlier in the thread to say that I'm running a 64 bit version. (I'm pretty sure I did but I can't remember and don't have the history handy.) In any case, I did mentioned that I had gotten Kupfer to run ...

Thanks for all the info and help bigpup. Though I currently don't have the time to test all avenues, I don't doubt the solution could be somewhere within the resources you provided and that other people reading the thread could benefit from it. It could very well just be an anomaly with my ...

Update:

Tried changing pmedia=cd to pmedia=usbflash

Same behaviour.

Oh interesting.

Will do.

But what would that accomplish? (I know that it will specify the media being a USB, but I mean in practice and daily operation.)

What specifically are you doing to install Puppy? Type install? Frugal or full? Installed to what? I did a frugal install some time ago. Regular, old .iso burn to a USB. Formatted what? fat32 Is location a fresh clean format? To my knowledge, yes. I had formatted, then installed. What program used ...

True Mike, but on the other hand most work one does on a computer requires the OS to be rock solid and stable, etc.. Foundations are important. I think the difference with my work in this case is that when your done troubleshooting for the day, you don't really want to troubleshoot again and/or be ...

Update: Mike, I tried installing T-Bird through the PPM but just having the mailbox files live outside the OS... No luck though... same symptoms: constant USB flashing and OS pausing. If I get some time I'll try bibpup's T-Bird performance enhancing URL: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Performance ...

Great insight guys. I can see Puppy being a daily driver for many then. 3 examples would be: 1.) The user who uses mainstream, daily computing program/apps like the ones you mentioned drunkjedi: browser, libreoffice, gimp, vlc. 2.) The "Chromebook" kind of user you mainly uses online apps and the ...
