If I use the command acpitool -s I get Function Do_suspend : could not open file : /proc/acpi/sleep You must have write access to /proc/acpi/sleep to suspend your computer There does not seem to be a proc/acpi/sleep file I had this exact same problem, then used this command, posted by Peterm321, to...

Oops! Looks like I stumbled upon a solution by myself. I installed a grumpier distro, and it could only be erased by creating a new partition table. Once I had done that, I was again able to flag my drive as “boot,

Yesterday I had Slacko 6.3.2 running nicely on a brand-new 16gb flash drive, then because of problems running pBurn, replaced Slacko with a persistent Ubuntu 16.04 install. Ubuntu was too slow, though, and the multimedia stuff didn’t work the way it does when running on my internal hard drive. So I ...

So with Slacko 6.3.2, after about 6 hours, I ended up with a full-length DVD copy that has no audio! I played it on another machine to make sure. When the burn was finished, it asked me if I wanted to save the rip, and then it put it in a pBurn folder somewhere, I can't remember where. Ideally, I wo...

I'm using a Sony Vaio from 2007 that has 2gb RAM, and will soon be using a slightly newer laptop that has doub...

When I open Pburn and click "Copy/shrink video DVD," it says "This is a reminder that your temporary storage space is less than 9gb..." even though there is plenty of unused space on the USB key from which I am running Puppy. Pburn is saying that I have only about 2gb available s...
