Thanks Don570. There was no problem with my partition and I suspect that there's something in Barry K's script. Using the image I have successfully done a Frugal install to the same partition and also to a flash stick. I still get the same problem (first reported by Sage) on both installs with the ...

Hi ETP
I thought you may have a second Window Manager included, just as in rapid pup you use fluxbox in addition to jwm. Plus in the spirit of testing, if it says something's there I usually try to test it out.

Thanks to rg66 for the explanation.

I said I was using two sticks to test, and I ...

I managed to break it.
After exiting to prompt I typed: xwin fvwm95 (because that was listed as an option)
System came back again but would not exit. So I did a hard poweroff and rebooted.
The filecheck fixed the USB file system but on next boot the system came up frozen and mouseless.
I fear I've ...

I did a couple of V3 installs. First was to an old USB2 16Gb Corsair Flash drive - the DD took nearly I hour 20 mins. Then I used a new USB3 16GB ScanDisk Flash drive and the DD only took about 21 minutes. Both seem to work well - I have used them to boot on another quite different system - a ...

This is from attempts to instal BarryK’s Quirky Werewolf64-7.4 on my Asus twin-cpu Intel-based Laptop from 2009 (4Gb memory, intel graphics chip).


1. My first try at installing BarryK’s Quirky Werewolf64-7.4 was to a 40Gb partition (part of an extended partition) but for some reason Barry's ...

Popcorn upgrade took a while but works with the .pet installed.

Hi ETP

Thanks for helping out with these problems. :)

I had already moved the conky startup entries to an "unused' folder I created.

I used Xanad's Firefox-38.0.1esr-64bit.pet Mozilla Firefox Extended Support Release 64bit

If I open up a window of some sort and move it around the screen it repaints the background but it happens again if I restart X.
Reboot is OK to begin with.

After installing firefox I have begun to get this sort of thing when I restart X. I am not sure if they are related. The pattern of white-out is not always the same.
I read somewhere that Barry has had difficulties with Intel graphics and Quirky-April
Here are the details of my Setup for graphics ...

Installed Firefox from 64 bit .pet no problems.

I have already switched to Firefox on other older puppies because of the difficulties of keeping Chrome current because there is no automatic updating.

I agree about the Chrome memory leaks etc. I have 4gig memory on this laptop and still get the ...

... the way I like it

Perfect - grellkam working now.

I have been using "Desktop Appearance" to customise and when using the window widget button to choose different GTK themes for FbBox it frequently quits on me. I am not sure if it is the app, quirky, or the window manager. ctl alt backspace lets me restart xwin so ...

I managed to find a pup that installed gkrellm no problem and it works just fine on querky / rapid pup V2. I prefer its simplicity over Conky.

I am looking for some way to add the gkrellkam camera option via a pet but cant find it anywhere on the forum.

Thanks for the tip! Actually I simply added RW to my existing grub stastatement (its difficult to find the Grub syntax described anywhere) and that seems to fix the read/write problem.
... continuing to test it out.

Thanks for this Distro! I am testing it out. Very swift and it comes well-equipped.

No problem getting it to boot using USB stick.

Thought I would try using Grub as I boot everything on this laptop through legacy Grub menu.lst file.

I copied vmlinuz from the USB to the partition (sda7 in my case ...

Thanks for the .pet !!
I was running V.30 and couldn't get rid of the "out of date" Flash message even though I had "--allow-outdated-plugins" on the command line.

chromium-32.0.1700.102-precise works fine in Precise 5.71 and no out of date plugin messages.

I added another gigabyte of storage (I had an old machine I was taking to recycle and the memory fit) - and the Chrome 100% usage problem went away ... so Firefox seems to manage storage better than Chrome (I still prefer Chrome but I'll use FF if there's no Chrome on offer).

I have been using C-F ...

Compiz-Fusion works just fine in 602B2:
