Check the Conky display, right above the networking section. Did it detect your battery? I tried to configure it so that it only shows the battery section if there is one by having it only show it when /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/info exists.
I did a similar thing with temperature using /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THM/temperature

Okay then, I'll add lines for batteries 0-3. That way if people have a second one it will handle that too. Meanwhile, just change the BAT0 parts to BAT1 in /root/.conkyrc and restart it.

Mr. P.Thank you for your prompt reply to my e-mail. down loaded both the WINE add-on plus the PPPoE 3.8 pached1. the WINE add on when finished told me i was successful. but the PPPoE told me it was going to unpack never to be seen again, with no other message, i tried to find it but no luck,, i have very limited knowledge in these matters.
Thank you for your help, i will await the next version Michael.

Okay. I'll look into it "tomorrow" (as in, in maybe twelve hours, since it's already tomorrow now).

Pizzasgood,
Made the change in conkyrc to BAT1. Restarted conky. There is now a line that says Battery: There is an empty box next to it. I have had the laptop running on the Battery for about an hour now. I have restarted conky several times and the box shows no change.
Have you seen the thread:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=9261
about changing RFC_1122_COMPLIANT="yes" to "no"?

Yes. I become forgetful at 1 AM. The Conky configuration I used didn't explicitly tell it to use BAT0, it only used that to decide if it should show the battery section. If you change the line to be like this, it will work:Is there something else we need to do?
Code: Select all
${if_existing /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state capacity}${color }Battery: ${color }${battery_time BAT1} - ${battery BAT1} ${color #cc2222}${battery_bar 6 BAT1}
Code: Select all
${if_existing /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state capacity}${color }Battery: ${color }${battery_time BAT0} - ${battery BAT0} ${color #cc2222}${battery_bar 6 BAT0}
$endif${if_existing /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state capacity}${color }Battery: ${color }${battery_time BAT1} - ${battery BAT1} ${color #cc2222}${battery_bar 6 BAT1}
$endif${if_existing /proc/acpi/battery/BAT2/state capacity}${color }Battery: ${color }${battery_time BAT2} - ${battery BAT2} ${color #cc2222}${battery_bar 6 BAT2}
$endif${if_existing /proc/acpi/battery/BAT3/state capacity}${color }Battery: ${color }${battery_time BAT3} - ${battery BAT3} ${color #cc2222}${battery_bar 6 BAT3}
$endif${color }$stippled_hr
Also, it turns out I didn't solve that error message about /mnt/home you mentioned before. It turns out you can hide output on the screen by putting things between if_existing and if_mounted tags, but that won't stop it from complaining about non-existent items between the tags.
I have now. I went ahead and changed it. @Friedsonjm: If you'd rather have it respond to pings let me know.Have you seen the thread:

I also removed the tweaks to xwin and xorgwizard, so hopefully that will be fixed.
You're booting from live-cd, so you need to type puppy followed by a space, then use those commands.using
vga=normal pfix=nosplash
i get

could not vind kernel image vga=normal
hope this helps
I tried installing it and it just copped out. Weird. Anyways, when I extracted it and installed by hand it seemed to work (I can't actually test it other than making sure the program starts).Mr. P.Thank you for your prompt reply to my e-mail. down loaded both the WINE add-on plus the PPPoE 3.8 pached1. the WINE add on when finished told me i was successful. but the PPPoE told me it was going to unpack never to be seen again, with no other message, i tried to find it but no luck,, i have very limited knowledge in these matters.

Firefox associations
OK- I am liking this distro! Citrix works fine, and JRE update 3 is excellent.
Firefox extensions:
- does not launch GSview automatically when you want to view PDFs
- does not launch GXine (?should it be replaced with XMMS instead)
DVD playing:
- the whole screen blinks at rate of about once every 5-10 seconds. Funny, this.
I am running as liveCD on a P4 system. 1 GB RAM (CPU usage at 30%, 4% RAM usage).

I haven't been able to figure out how to do this. I think I can get it to just open the PDF immediately, but what I want is for it to default to gsview in the "open with" option, but to still show the option.- does not launch GSview automatically when you want to view PDFs
Good point. I'll check if the Seamonkey plugin is compatible.- does not launch GXine (?should it be replaced with XMMS instead)
As for replacing with XMMS, that only covers audio. So then we'd have to have to have XMMS and a video player. Freidsonjm said he wants to avoid duplication and keep things simple, so I decided to just stick with Gxine.
I haven't watched a DVD on my computer in almost a year, and even then it was only a couple times. So I don't really know what might be causing that. Did it do the same thing in the standard Puppy 3.01?DVD playing:
- the whole screen blinks at rate of about once every 5-10 seconds. Funny, this.
One idea: Try disabling Conky, and maybe also the clock and calendar.
