Re: Belkin F5D6050 wireless USB connection
Only 2 versions of F5D6050 exist; both apparently use theClive wrote:One other problem I did experience was in attempting to initially connect to the net via a Belkin F5D6050 USB wireless connection.
A Knoppix distro that I initially tried automatically detected and connected OK with that adapter, but non of the Puppy's detected it. I spent a couple of days trying everything I could find on the net about how to get it working, but to no avail. In the end I swapped connections with my son's so that he's now using the wireless whilst the PC I am using is hard wired.
I went through practically every USB wireless adapter driver listed, and even tried loading via ndiswrapper etc. But with no luck.

Osmo bug?
Osmo does not have the most intuitive interface in the world.Clive wrote:. . . right clicking a day and selecting the day color option only has a choice of NONE, so you can't highlight particular days to particular colours.
In order to be able to select colours you need to define additional colours. Very likely you have already tried to do so, but have not found out where they can be defined. This is because the preferences dialog refers to them as "Day categories", not "colors".
Go to Preferences -> Calendar -> Day categories and click the button below the bottom left corner of the big empty list box -- that's the mystery button that is not labeled except for a big grey rectangle. This brings up a colour selector dialog. Choose your colour, click OK, then type a name in the box to the right of the mystery button (whose rectangle should now be filled with your chosen colour), and hit Enter or click the + button.
The background colour of text entry boxes in Osmo dialogs turns yellow to indicate that the user is editing the entry. When the user finishes editing the entry, she needs to press Enter or the edit will be ignored. The backgound colour of the entry will then turn white again.Clive wrote:I can't seem to change the "Day note marker" to any other character (or rather you can change it, but it resets back to the default each time).
I suspect that this works as intended by the Osmo developer, although many users might expect that closing the dialog would also indicate that the edit was complete. If you would like to see this changed, you could post to the Osmo Tracker at Osmo Tracker: Feature Requests or Osmo Tracker: Bugs.

Geeqie from PPM crashes in Wary-5.3
I have a HD install of Wary-512 and geeqie-1.0-i486.pet from the PPM works without any problems.
Firing up the live CD of Wary-5.3 and installing geeqie from the PPM seems to work until you navigate to a folder using geeqie's filer. When you navigate to a folder containing an image geeqie immediately crashes.
In trying to narrow down the problem I created four folders named; gif, jpg, png and tif. and put an image in each folder with the appropriate file extension. In attempting to find if it was a particular file type that was crashing geeqie. It turned out that each of the four image types above all crashed geeqie.
UPDATE:
I came across this version: geeqie-1.0alpha3-i486.pet here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=300260 and it appears to work ok in Wary-5.3.

Clive;:
Some Ubuntu users have solved the de-authenticating problem by
first deleting existing wpa profiles.
In Puppy they are located at /etc/network wizard/wireless.
