This is rather odd. Gxine plays almost any format without the need of installing extra codec. Since the problem that you are describing happens with vlc too(which doesnt need any codecs to be installed at all), I think it could be due to a bad video driver or something. Are you using Xorg or Xvesa ...

This same thing happened to my P4 rig(now completely dead). I never even bothered to find the cause of the problem, and just got myself a new rig. But now that I think about it, why does it happen?
BTW, mine had 512MB RAM, and a 2.8Ghz proccy...

@vovchik
Thanks a lot!! This is exactly what I was looking for..no more turning the numlock manually after each start!

Long live Puppy!

I had a similar problem with 4.3...and I am on 3GB DDR3 1333Mhz RAM!! I guess my DVD rom was faulty.
Anyways, I have stopped bothering with CDs/DVDs. Frugal install is the way to go..!!

Just tried this out....(have been experimenting with Arch lately)
Works perfectly fine on my frugal 4.3. Although I dont use openoffice much these days(go Google Apps!!), it does help when my internet connection plays truant.

Still no luck with starting X on my Radeon HD 4650. Can I have a workaround for this from the command line? Any help would be highly appreciated. And it would be great to know why X runs perfectly fine on 4.2 but not on 4.3.

I am trying to boot from my 4.3 CD, but X just wont start up. I am on a AMD Athlon X2 250, with an ATI RADEON HD 4650.

Funnily enough, Puppy 4.2 works just fine on my box!!

Anyways I tried it on my laptop and so far it runs perfectly fine. No issues whatsoever, and MU's catalyst drivers work ...

Holy cows!! A ncurses based bittorrent client!!
I havent heard of this rtorrent before ( I only use torrents for my linux distros, and utorrent is proving pretty sufficient) but I had to try this out!!

It works perfectly fine on my frugal puppy 4.2.1. Though I still prefer the simplicity of ...

I just saw this and decided to give it a try..although I stopped using KDE quite a while ago ( and v4.0 just made me ditch KDE once and for all).
A lot of dependencies are missing...but most of the stuff works OK for normal use. I think i will assemble the dependencies into a .sfs file myself ...

@alix board
I usually dont run many programs using wine anyways. but i did use team viewer a couple of times and it worked perfectly fine.
I think you really should file a bug report to the winedb. they should be able to sort it out in the future versions. Mean while, if you have a different linux ...

Great work disciple!!

I was looking for some kind of alternative for pdfedit..and this is just perfect. It is way faster than pdfedit on my 4.2.1 frugal.

Thanks again and best regards.

Runs like a charm on my frugal 4.2.1. I am on a 7600GT with the latest drivers. Its time I took out my SOTN CD that has been gathering dust....

@alix_board
I am using wine 1.1.28 and team viewer 4.1. Could your problem be due to some setting on the remote end?

@alix_board
Thats strange..I have used TeamViewer a couple of times and it has worked perfectly under NT4 mode. But then, I use an older version. I will try out the new version and report it here.
Also, I am not sure that your problem with it has anything to do with the missing libraries, but I ...

Vyse,

here it is if you want to test, you may hack as you want

regards

Thanks trio!!

Currently, I couldnt get it work it on my system...in the sense that i cant resize the file for the system i am currently running the pet on..i will post later as to how I went about hacking it. I am running ...

@technosaurus
I tried out your 1.1.28 and it works perfectly on my install. I guess I already downloaded those dependencies sometime back.

@alix board
you should try out that new version. incidentally, are you trying to run some games though wine? ( i have had a bad experience with that)

Great work playdayz.

Although I have been using *nix for a long time now, so I dont need it for myself. But its good for people and noobs who are scared that a live CD may mess up their system!!

Keep up the good work.

Regards.

You just cant find a puplet (or any other linux distro) that is made specifically to work with your series of hardware. You must get some stuff done yourself.

Since a puplet is basically Puppy with some modifications, there is no guarantee that it will recognise and run on your hardware perfectly ...

Hmm..this does look promising. I will test it out today as soon as I get my work done. It will certainly save people the hassle of creating a new save file when they realize that they are running out of space on their old ones!!!

Thanks for the .pets. I hope that in future versions of Puppy Xarchiver will be tweaked to extract files from these archives...

I have been using Peazip for a long time now.
