Network Wizard - Belkin/Broadcom Difficulties

Good Morning All,

 

I had a bit of a struggle getting my Belkin 54G card working with Puppy 4.1.1.

On versions prior to 4.1; I used ndiswrapper, the drivers from my Belkin setup disk, and all went well.

I tried Blacklisting the open source modules serveral times, but the drivers still appeared in the loaded modules column of the Wizard. The ones in question are b43, b43 legacy. I used the Blacklist function on 4.1.1 , but apparently certain driver modules were still loading ahead of ndiswrapper.

problem with ADSL connection with Puppy Linux

Can you any help? I am very impressed with Puppy Linux and i think I might stick around for sometimes provided I can connect to internet.

I am in malaysia and subscribe to streamyx broadband service. I have problem to connect to internet.

I tried in the office with LAN connection and no problem.

Thanks

My first blog 28 Nov 08

Ok, today I created a small script to fix (work around) a small bug in Pwidgets, by Zigbert. The bug is actually in 'xonclock' which is what Pwidgets uses for the Analog Clock. Pwidgets is to be 'standard' in Puppy 4.2. The work around I figured out is based on 'xevent', a small app that generates a keystroke, a cursor movement or a mouse click.

Well, a quite serious bug report... on a blog

well, you probably wonder why i would do it o a blog. well i have two reasons,

1. there are people on the forum that probably would attck me the second i step foot in there with a thread.

2. well, the people that see it might listen to it

well, when i was using mozilla i noticed that it was not saving my cookies, or bookmarks, i checked the personal folder, and the bookmarks and cookies files were showing an error icon, and when i tried to remove them, it said it had a "stale NFS handle", and i don't think i have ever used nfs before.

Vibuntu 1.0 - Linux for the Visually Impaired !

I know this is not about Puppy Linux, but I thought some of you might be interested in other projects I am involved in. Just for the record I use Puppy on older and/or lower spec computers and Ubuntu on newer faster machines.

ProductiveLinux Podcast Review

ProductiveLinux Episode 13 reviewed Puppy Linux 4 in detail in their 30 minutes long podcast. Check it out. Thanks go to Nathan the presenter of the podcast.

What i have been up to

I have decided to use Puppy 2.14R as my main os on my laptop, so it may be a little while till i get back to working on BobPup, but i'm sure anyone who wants to try it will like 0.3 and 0.4.

Первая запись в блоге!

 

Puppy Linux, Ubuntu and Darwin's Theory of Evolution!

I have always been a compulsive distro-hopper! I have always been looking for the one special version of Linux that can do everything! This has meant that I have generally used one specific distro on all of my machines for several months and then jumped to a new one when something better came along, or a significant bug arose. The distros which lasted longest were Ubuntu, Fedora, PCLinuxOS, Sabayon and Puppy Linux.

DingoPlusOne

What im up to..

Currently working on  the folowing projects...

 

1) making an Anti-Virus remasterd Puppy variant.

 

2) making a little guide on doing a frugal install, to help out the  beginners in #puppylinux.

 

 

fun fun

Ive been in computers since 1976 and Linux since 1995. This is so much fun. Love the retro distro!

looking for recovery disk

I have a Compac Presario S5200NX with Windows XP and looking for Recovery Disk.  I am unable to download because I have a MAC laptop. I would like to be directed to the web site where I can purchase the disks. Any help would be appreciated

strange things ( installation of extra pets)

the first thing i 've noticed when installed extra pets for eee from this page

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=34159

is a bit strange

i had to install each pet twice because they were not decompressed and were in /root/.packages  folder 

i really do not know why it happend but when i clicked on pet again it was installed properly.

may be it depends sometimes from where a pet is installed( inside or outside pupsave2fs file?) 

BobPup 1.0 Plans

I decided that if anyone wants to join the BobPup project, that a position that would be good would be to lead the BobPup 1.0 CE Project.

eeepc 901 runnning puppy

04Nov2008 

well it's taken me over a fortnight to get this eeepc 901 running on puppy.

Actually i got it running on puppy quite quickly, but it was the wifi network that held me back.

 

I tried eeetiger, pupeee, dingoplus, dingo(4.1) followed all the threads I could find.

maybe it was just me being so linux ignorant??? I am still a linux noob

 

But I noticed today 4.1.1 was out with a new improved network wizard, and it worked on first install, no tweaking necesary.

New hands needed

For those of you that have read this thread on the forum, you will know that I am beginning to move away from my involvement in Puppy.

So I would like to know if there is anyone that would be able to take over some of the responibilities here at the website. Ultimately I would like someone to actually take over the admin role, but to begin with it would just be good if someone could answer and respond to the emails the website receives.

Thanks,

tom :)

startin g a blog here... why?

I decided to start a blog here to share my puppy experience. hope it will be useful for somebody.

I want to concentrate on different window managers i use or tested. I do not compile myself, so i just take what is already made for puppy. Now i use openbox on my desktop and pekwm on EEE pc. So i will post some short notes on both of them and eee pc also 

Debian's gain, Puppy's loss

This is sad news.

Great thanks to Barry

 Your puppy was an Most Great OS for mee,thank you Barry ,now I have much to learn

 

I'm glad

I'm quite glad that it looks like puppy might have another release, and only a couple weeks after 4.1.

Seems
like Puppy is getting back into it's previous schedule, small upgrades
for each version, with a release every few weeks, instead of major
updates every 6 months like i started to see.

keep up the good work! And I hope that 4.2 and later releases have the same success Puppy has always had.

Boot from Floppy

I have an old FJ B2131 that will only boot from FDD or HDD, and would like to try Linux. Having stumbled across Puppy, what I have seen of it so far, it looks great! I have managed to download V1 and have modified my DOS boot disc to load V1 Puppy from the CDRom (connected via PCMCIA).

Two Questions:

1. How do I get the Pup_410.sfs off the distro and get it to run under dos, or is there some other way of acheiving the same thing. I need to start from DOS (I think) to get the PCMCIA driver loaded to recognise the CDRom.

new pup

Hi everyone,

this is my first time surfing under linux thanks to this distro, I have tried other linux and unix distros but have never successfully been able

to get my dialup to work. With puppy I didnt even have to try just clicked pupdial and entered the ISP number and here I am and I just installed

only minutes ago. Thanks to Puppy (goodbye mr.gates) I'm free, home at last.

Thanks'

DERMI.

Thanks for IcePup!

IcePup is fantastic!  I watched the debates (American-US) on CNN using IcePup and It

worked flawlessly. Thanks for sharing it.

Problems in starting up Puppy Linux

Hello Everybody,

Puppy Linux - found it - at least

...........and I'm the most happy Linux newbie around 10,000 miles.

Having had unsuccessful attempts with SuSe and ReadHat back in 2005. I finally came across that lovely name.

Installed Puppy it in 15 minutes yesterday and on the spot got connected to the internet with a few clicks to configure.

Today I dumped my old error prone W98SE. Have an old laptop (Gateway Solo 2150 , 160 Mbytes main and a 40 GB disk).

Please Help

I have a Toshiba Satellite A215-S4697 with 4GB of Ram. I have made my Puppy Linux cd and it does not boot. I have tested the cd on other laptops and it boots up just fine. Is there anything that I can try to make it work on my Toshiba?

POPpup: Slugs and snails? Puppy “dog” tales

Curse you, Puppy Linux!

I recently had to reinstall Win98SE on a refurbished computer system – when compared to my ubernoobie-level dabblings with puppy the experience felt exactly like a visit to the dentists and KNOWING I was having the wrong teeth extracted.

Unorthodox Puppy

One thing I have always liked about Puppy is that BarryK thought things through when he began it.

Newbie

Since I have been a Bill Gates boy for most of my computer life, and now have a rather antiquated desktop no one wants to buy, I thought I would try installing a small LINUX OS on it to see if it is really still a useful tool???  From what I am reading, it is possible that I might become a CONVERT, however, it is far too early to tell yet.

mobile drivers for puppy linux ¿?

hi its me again.. while i was using winxp my connection to internet was perfectly using my samsung x636 as a modem. but now that im using puppy i have no idea how to find a driver for my cellphone.. thats got me undone i dunno what to do. is there any existing samsung driver 4 linux. may someone tell pleaze? . :(

How To Get Printer Working

I'm new to Linux, and my professor thought that Puppy would be cool for me to play with.  I first had Puppy 4.0 and it worked flawlessly off a live disk, but I could not get my Toshiba Satellite M45 to run off a USB, but I could connect to the internet with no trouble.

Hello, everybody

I'm Leonard.

 I'm interested in sharing knowledgements in puppy Linux with people interested in, too. I like internet, computers, music and nature. I am a starter in Internet but I would like to improve these skills. I am a man, 53 years, single. I would like to meet women and men who like these hobbies. Thank you.

This stray has been led astray ...

... now where's my ashtray?

After much deliberation (and a disasterous crash and data loss) I've cleaned Puppy Linux from my main desktop box, a HP Kayak XU-800, and installed Arch Linux 2008-6 i686. With the help of David (IRC nick DigitalCrypto), Arch is up, running, and surpassing my wildest unreasonable expectations. JWM has been retained, though experimentation continues with OpenBox, ratpoison and FluxBox WMs. The multi-user environment makes this easy to do.

Ideas for Bobpup

Well, I recently installed Puppy 4.1 on my Dell E521, and i finally got it to work. So i decided that it might be a good idea to see what kind of puplet i could develop. Personally i want to do it since Barry K is retiring from Puppy, and 4.1 is the last version he is producing.

Just trying it out

As a Linux nut of fairly long standing (7 years) I don't know how I missed this distro-it's so cool it makes me drool. Mostly I'm here to find out how to install this for a friend that's sick of windows. Love your organization and community :)

Puppy Manual

I see the Puppy infor online - does anyone have a pdf of the complete manual for 4.0?

Great Distribution!

Over the years after unsuccessfully trying serveral linux distros (Mepis, Ubuntu, etc), I've finally found one that actually works out of the box, makes my old AMD Duron run faster than XP, and doesn't require one to be a linux guru.  I've managed to do a frugal install and can now dual boot my old windows box.  Although I am a linux newbie, I have had over 30 years of technical background so I can appreciate the technical concepts of this distro.  I have some general questions and perhaps those of you with more knowledge than I could point me to where I can learn more.

How Do I Execute or Run Installed Programs, Plugins, Add-Ons, or Video/Audio codecs?

J-Bob's Blog - Might as well introduce myself

Hello, I am J-Bob, and I'm a student who originally stumbled upon Puppy 2.14 around August 2007. And i really liked it. My brother and I used it on his old computer since it was the only machine which i could try puppy on. And i was able to get it to work on my own (and i was a complete Linux newbie back then), he went his own way and now seems to dislike most small distros, as well as slackware, because of his claims that it does not have GNOME.

Around Christmas, i got a thinkpad which i installed Puppy 2.16 on, and later switched to 3.01. And it was good.

Puppy Linux printed book released

The first printed Puppy Linux book has just been released here. Covering versions 1 to 4 it is a general manual for beginners to Puppy Linux who may already be familiar with Windows.

Problems to install HELP ME Please!!!

Hello everybody:

 I¿m new here, and new with Linux.  Puppy is going to be my first Linux distro I will use.  I'm trying to install it on a Pentium III, 450 MHz, 6Gbytes HDD desktop.  The desktop is quite old (no USB).  I have used the Lice CD feature already, and Puppy works just fine.  The problem begins when I try to install it into the hard disk.

First succesful install

After trying on a Sony Vaio with an AMD K5 in it that is purportedly a non linux friendly laptop (thanks, thanks alot Sony) I got dingo installed on a Dell 3700 with a PIII 500 and 512 ram.  Runs really well, Xorg, 802.11b, etc., all hardware works with the exception of framebuffer during boot time.  Oh well.

A while between drinks

Finally, Puppy is in and working on my laptop.

Puppy still has trouble finding its way and does not find the save file with the setting in it. Will look into this soon enough.

What do I plan to do with it? Maybe set up some data comms pracs with it. I'm a tutor and I'm looking for a flexible platform to set up the pracs on. We'll see.

 

Puppy 4.0 Dingo on 512 MB SanDisk Cruiser

Hello all!

I'm just so damned proud. I managed (after a few unsuccessful trials) to get Puppy 4.0 onto a 512 MB SanDisk Cruiser mini. I did the following:

 

Using Gparted, I made a 128 Mb FAT16 primary partition, and made the rest ext2.

I then used the "buggy don't use" combo option of the Universal Installer.

I pointed the installer to my mounted Puppy 4.0 cd.

I rebooted.

I configured networking

I posted this blog entry.

Google Themes Part 2

Following on from my post of some months ago;

"If you use Google as a search engine or your homepage (and who doesn't these days) you can use a Puppy theme. Louie the Yellow Lab Puppy is a theme designed by Andy Sheng. I use it for my customised Google page which reads the Puppy RSS feeds and it looks great.
"

Website News

There's an exciting new RSS feed for all the latest Puppy packages added to Caneri's server in Canada. This server seems to be the most active in terms of contributions so it seems apt to have an RSS feed for it. If you're not interested in RSS then you can get the ordinary version on the downloads page.

Future Puppy Proof of Concept

Extraordinary lengths to make Windows XP more like Puppy

PermaPup...

Hey.  I just took a partition on my harddrive that was being used for temp space for dvd iso files when copying dvds using K3B in Mandriva.  I think that since Puppy is so much faster, leaner, and smaller, I may just dump my Mandriva partition totally.  I've gotten dvds to play in Puppy, and if I can copy a dvd with the dog, I think that may settle it.

It would be nice if I wasn't root all the time.  Maybe I'll fiddle with that soon.

I installed a puppy on a P3 with 256MB of RAM, 4.3GB HDD, old agp Stealth III S540.  Bottomline, it is crappy old Compaq Deskpro.  However, it should be good for my son, Austin to learn on.  He seems really interested in having his own computer and learning Linux.

 

Debian project preferred BioPuppy Linux for Bioinformatics

Dear All,

I gladly inform you that, BioPuppy Linux is now encouraged by one
of the Debian project called Debian-Med. The Debian-Med project
presents packages that are associated with medicine, pre-clinical
research, and life science. Its developments are mostly focused on
three areas for the moment: medical practice, imaging and
bioinformatics.

NOP 4.0 r1

Nice Distro but leaving out Abiword a problem. When someone sends a 'DOC' attachment nothing there to open it.

 

Future Puppy is its own Base

Current users of Puppy will easily recognize future puppy. Just like now, Puppy 7 (or whatever) will install correctly on a wide variety of hardware configurations (the widest variety of any distro). And just like now, future puppy will install in a wide variety of ways, Live-CD, frugal hard disk, usb stick, and so forth. Also just like now, the Puppy interface will be friendly, fun, and fast, making use of traditional gui elements to create an interface that anyone can just sit down and use.

A new base for Puppy?

Would Puppy Linux using a new base be a possible new direction for the development? Slitaz, Damn Small Linux and DeLi Linux would all be potential candidates.

DingoPlus on the 901?

Hello

       Does DingoPlus work on the ASUS EEE PC 901 model?

Thanks!

Puppy Linux could grow to replace Vista!!!

More Theory of Future Puppy

When someone logs onto future puppy they should get a choice of two desktops; one is the future version of the current desktop and the second is a "sports" desktop that embodies the spirit of puppy, minimal, fast, functional, lean, responsive, and fun and the spirit of linux, hands-on, configurable, and so forth. This second one is not a copy of windows or mac or kde or anything else, it should be uniquely puppy, arising out of the spirit of puppy and the puppy community.

The dingo ate my bay-bee! (Not really...)

I just, for a lark, dropped Puppy 4.0 into my Compaq Armada 110 CD-ROM
drive, and plugged in a 802.11g PCMCIA NetGear card, just to see what
would happen. I'm currently in a hotel that has "hi-speed" WiFi. Turns
out that it's just 802.11b, not *g, so, anyway...

The pup saw everything, and started flawlessly. I was able to
configure my hotel's WiFi with ssid and WEP key, and BAM! I'm here,
typing to you. I bet the pup would run on a 80286, with dual 5.25
floppies.

So now that there is a distro that is

The Theory of Puppy

I want to try to articulate my experience of Puppy--why it was that I felt I had found my home--and what if anything that might contribute to shaping a possible future Puppy.   I responded immediately to the speed.  Puppy was fast.  In theoretical terms I would say "responsive."  I think that is hugely important.  It contributes I think to the sense of using a fine tool or of driving a sports car rather than a bus. 

Puppy 405 Reiser/Grub install

I had a 6.2 GB Quantum Fireball not being used, and I wanted to try the Reiser FS mostly just to learn more about Puppy.

As a new Puppyite, all this was a bit baffling, but it turns out Puppy makes things pretty easy.

Panasonic CF-25

Puppy 4 is the first linux that has worked right off the iso for my little laptop.  No worries.  Pretty straight forward manual too.  166Mhz, 4gig HD, 96RAM, zircom ethernet card.  Ye haa -- I'm so happy!  Just joined the forums and will probably see me in the help sections :)

Heaven smiles above me...

... what a gift here below.  "No One Knows," by Queens of the Stone Age.  From Songs for the Deaf.  I just watched it on YouTube.  With Puppy.  And it was blindingly fast!  Right out of the box.  If this distro melted my harddrive, fried my cpu, and took away my birthday, it would still be the best distro I've ever touched.

I won't be able to shut up about this distro, so everyone just hang on to your hats - it's gonna be a bumpy blog! 

ξ

Very happy puppy!

I hate typos

I do, however, find that correcting typos can be soothing while I explore a distro's site. So, that's where I normally begin and that's where I'll begin exploring this site.

BerryK retirement?

Thank You for your fine work.

To make money with Linux, you should follow the examples of other web sites,

add a Donate button, a Puppy merchandise store.

Sell pendrive installed Puppy with extra packages, etc.

The need for a small lightwieght distro such as Puppy is great, take some time off,

study how others are making money with linux, turn over major developement and maintainence of puppy but keep steering

its direction.

It's been a few days since I started using Puppy linux and I have to say that so far as being user friendly it is the best of its kind.

It works well for my ACER TRAVELMATE 3210 laptop. And has given me no problems. I am now trying to program using the devx_400.sfs

If I can make this work well I will post here again.

Barry kauler the main developer for puppy linux has decided to step down and let puppy development be continued by the community. He hasn't set any dates yet but some speculation has arisen about how community development will happen.

New to Linux and Puppy

Hi just wanted to say I am very fascinated with Puppy linux... I am quite new to linux and to puppy at that but I can see why so many people go to try puppy linux...

So small compared to all the bloatware OSes out there.

Yet for basic use it is still quite powerful. I hope developers will soon port their software to puppy linux or other linux distros.

Excellent list of puppy-friendly wifi cards

Jason Salis has a fabulous database-in-progress of wifi cards found to work with Puppy. I chose mine based on this page's info, and true to the report, it's a plug-and-play wonder. The effort of finding a supported wifi card was well worth it, for this Linux Noob.

The db homepage is here: http://salis.sutteryuba.com/WiFi.php

I've added my info to the wiki, and it would help beginners a great deal if others would do the same.

 

Wanted: "Latest News" maintainer

I wonder if there is anyone out there who keeps fairly up to date with the world of Puppy Linux and can offer to regularly update the news feed here at puppylinux.org?

The feed appears on the front page of the site (where there are around 8000 visits a day) and also the feed is linked to an RSS feeder which automatically updates people whenever new items are added.

The feed is not only a good way of consolidating the many projects going on in Puppy, but also a good way of recording the adventures of Puppy for posterity.
