I have corrected 3 typos in my post - the main one being that I connect through VGA not RGB.

Thanks for your thoughts. I didn't realise that there was more than one widescreen ratio.

Using Puppy precise 5.5 I have a 1920x1080 HDTV which I can connect to my PC through the VGA connector. If I boot with the TV then X starts at 1024x768. If I start xorgwizard then it says the TV can not be scanned and asks me to choose a resolution but then starts at 1024x768 whatever I choose. The ...

The following USB flash memory stick is not listed in pmount in PP5.4.92 but was in the previous version of PP. Manufacturer=SanDisk Product=Cruzer VendorID=0781 ProductID=5530 KERNEL-DRIVER(builtin)=usb-storage I have one other which I've been using for years and that works fine in both versions of...

Thanks rerwin, Puppy *can* fully change between my 2 network IFs. I've replied on the Frisbee thread http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=64472&start=180 Thanks gcmartin, I have a tower PC but prefer "pay as you go" ISPs. Mr reply on the Frisbee thread should answer your questi...

rerwin, replying to your post on http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=84298 at Feb 26, 2013, at 5:25 pm Yes, the Huawei E3131 is switched by usbmodeswitch into a NIC -- VendorID=12d1 ProductID=14db KERNEL-MODULE=cdc_ether. Both SNS and Frisbee say it is of type 'wired'! It also worked in the...

For some reason the forum wont let me edit my previous post. Also (after trying the truely wired NIC) a click of the network tray icon causes only the IP info window to open regardles of what is selected in the internet conection wizard. A purple splash says to right click for the network menu but t...

Rerwin, BK, Thanks for adding Frisbee Live CD PP5.4.92 I can get fully on the internet with a cdc_ether 3g usb dongle using SNS. I can unplug it and replug it later and all is well. I have occasionsal access to a truely wired network through a router and PCI nework card. (DHCP is disabled. ) But if ...

Barry, Mostly good so far. Intel video works straight out of the box. :D Abiword sometimes starts with a tiny window, partially drawn paper or both. My usb tv (7ca:a835) is detected (KERNEL-DRIVER(builtin)=(none)) but sadly needs a kernal patch. Minor issues A startup script I run to search for a fi...

I see now.

In /bin make a symlink called mupdfextract to mubusy then invoke with

technosaurus, Thanks for these. How is mupdfextract invoked in Puppy? # mubusy mubusy: Combined build of mupdf/mudraw tools. Invoke as one of the following: mupdfclean, mudraw, mupdfextract, mupdfinfo, mupdfshow. # mupdfextract bash: mupdfextract: command not found # mubusy mupdfextract mubusy: Comb...

pakt,

I notice that you have an angled closing double quote in all your logs

Shep, My guess: The modem can store groups of settings. ATDT*99***1# uses the first group and *99# uses the default group. If there's only one group then it is the default. pakt, I might have got my string from ms xp -- I don't remember. I wonder, was the old string wired into wvdial.conf or was it ...

TheAsterisk,

Thank you for this but it is big (Java is big I know). Would you consider compiling just the jre please. Is that much smaller?

pakt,

My Huawei E1550 (in Quirky 130) connects every time with this as init string: I also dial

Pristine boot of Puppy 431: hotpluged Huawei E1550 - no /dev/ttyUSB[n] port.

Barry,

Pristine boot of Q130: hotpluged Huawei E1550 has 3 /dev/ttyUSB items
/dev/ttyUSB0 and /dev/ttyUSB2 return imediately with the blank line and OK but /dev/ttyUSB1 does not return for at least 4 minutes. I connect with /dev/ttyUSB0.

Now where is that P431 CD...

Attempt 3 As attempt 1 but when it offers you chance to alter /tmp/root and /tmp/etc - delete everything within - copy everything from the live version - delete .XLOADED Success. :D Note I got these extra 3 steps from the forum and used them on Puppy 431 maybe earlier. Barry, you do ask in one of th...

I can't remaster Q130. I applied these 2 bug fixes: Bug 1: the remaster script terminates with "your Puppy is too old" my (apparent) fix is to edit /usr/sbin/remasterpup2 line 236 change $DISTRO_SPECS to $DISTRO_IDSTRING Bug 2: DaveS (after BK) describes the need to append the $DISTRO_IDST...

I know that /dev/sda is an unknown device but why the 19 seconds delay? # date && mount /dev/sda /mnt/sda || date Mon Oct 18 11:03:15 GMT 2010 mount: /dev/sda: unknown device Mon Oct 18 11:03:34 GMT 2010 This delay does not always happen in Quirky 130 but I never noticed it in Puppy 431 or e...
