For me, who is as wired as can be, the Q&D solution to the red beacon of pwireless2's re-appearing in the tray after reboot or restart of X was to rename /root/Startup/Pwireless2 to /root/Startup/.Pwireless2.

Yeah, it doesn't take much to confuse me. I've been into linux for a while and this kind of thing doesn't bother me much, but I keep thinking of my parents trying to set it up and just giving up after a while.sinc wrote:people might be getting confused
I know there's a balance between features and bloat, and I'll take a trim install over a bloated, *buntu-type distro any day, but most folks aren't willing to do the "due-diligence" required to get linux up and running. Maybe that's just the old linux vs windows argument, linux users typically substitute brains and perseverance for money to get to the same place. I have to admit that if money were not a factor I would have a hopped up Sager running Win7 and would never have tried Puppy ever. I'm still amazed at what can be done with ~160meg and some time well spent.

A simple fix for the Pwireless2 prob would be a slightly altered First Start Wizard.
When you click Internet/Network Setup button, it asks whether connection is Wireless or Non-Wireless and runs accordingly...Is that making it too verbose or does it help....
Opinions Please...

St George Bank site requires Sun Java Runtime to render correctly...
Mp4 works here, just click on mp4 file and it will play.
Don't know Gnome Player you talk about, not in Dpup repo
Cheers
Guy
EDIT: With regard to your Dell Inspiron, Dell have a Broadcom Proprietary Driver for Dell Laptops, it is here http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/ ... 9.3.tar.gz
If you're not happy compiling kernel modules, "here's one I prepared earlier".

I downloaded DPup, 3 seperate times all different uploads now to test and I get boot failure everytime. Never experienced this before with any other Puppy version or derivative of.
Still no problems downloading, burning and booting others at this time.
Maybe I'm not downloading the correct file, but pretty sure I am.isolinux :Disk error 80, AX=4260, drive 9F

Did you verify md5sum? Are you downloading with wget command or with browsers download manager? you should use wget -t0 -c url

Another way to stop /root/Startup/Pwireless2 from running is to remove all it's execute permissions.MinHundHettePerro wrote:rename /root/Startup/Pwireless2 to /root/Startup/.Pwireless2.
I did this to stop the "Wpa_supplicant failed to start" message on a machine that has no wireless hardware.
The problem appears to be that the beginning of this script fails to exit when the machine has no wireless hardware.
It might help if "/usr/local/Pwireless2/interface" in dpup-484.sfs was an empty file, instead of containing "ra0".

Hi Gpossil I see your trying to put together a small mediaplayer, well as i was reading some of the forum post, one in particular mentioned Kdenlive and ubuntu, The I looked at the packages and notice "melt" then I look at the home page for melt and well this is the just of it.
"media player and video editor
melt was meant as a test tool for the MLT framework, but it is also a powerful multitrack command line oriented video editor. It could also used as an minimalistic media player for audio and video files."
It uses ffmpeg and sdl as the backend, I managed to somewhat compile it without sdl, there was a error or so but it still packaged and ran via the terminal.
anyways here's the homepage

Anyone using some SFS modules on 484? I fail to load one again. I tried moving it to second column in boot manager and ticking/unticking ignore user selection but whatever combination it doesn't work for me?

I'm using OpenOffice-3.1.1.sfs4.sfs and dpup-devx-484-SP1.sfs with a frugal installation without any problems.dejan555 wrote:Anyone using some SFS modules on 484? I fail to load one again.

Oops, it seems it was sfs3
BTW, anyone knows some net monitor /w sys tray feature similar to blinky for using /w fluxbox?
When using /w jwm/icewm blinky is not really in system tray but "embeded" in panel.
