With Slacko Puppy 5.3.3.4, the sleep mode is working fine on my wife's laptop (IBM T43p) with just the default installation.

Goes into and comes out of sleep in seconds.

My Puppy 5.2.8 does not shut down or go into a full reboot. when I hit either of the two buttons, it looks like an X server re-start.

From a terminal. I executed "halt".

All processes are killed but the system does not turn off.

How do I fix this ?

Thanks and regards.

I just installed Puppy 5.2.8-005 on my wife's laptop and I really like it. Nice and stable. Even got Citrix to work just fine.

How do I configure it so that it goes into a sleep mode when the laptop lid is shut ?

Laptop Details: IBM-T43p, P4 2.2Ghz, 2GB ram.

Thanks and regards.

What's the path to set the run action for Citrix if I want to clock on the ica file which gets downloaded ?

I prefer Slacko 5.3.1. It seems much more "predictable" and stable. For most users it should have enough software. I was also able to install the *.deb language packs from the Debian website.

Download and install this Flash installer.
It will guide you on installing the latest Flash.
After installing pet.
Run from menu-> Internet -> Install Flashplayer.


It was written for Lucid Puppy 528, but should work on others.

I need to install Shockware plug in for my daughter's school work.
Don't mind using any browser. Greatly appreciate if someone can provide instructions.
I have tried Firefox, Chromium and Opera

Thanks and regards.

Thanks !

Worked like a charm ! Thanks. The Korean fonts are fine. Any other .deb for Chinese and Japanese fonts ?

Thanks.

Can some one tell me how to install Asian fonts (Specifically Korean) in Puppy 5.3.1

Thanks.

My computer had 2 HDD's when I installed Puppy 5.3.1. I see a Kernel Panic message when I remove one of them. The main boot drive is still in the computer. How can this be resolved ?

I am seeing this problem on Puppy 5.3.1 all of a sudden. All was well for a few days. Any equivalent for slacko ?

It worked ! Thanks.

No. I don't need version 14. This is just to report the bug

No. Gmail is not fine with these browsers. The point of my bug report was to inform that gmail did not work with the specified versions. I dont agree with your assertion about the 202 error.

Yes. It does work with earlier versions.

I am using Puppy 5.2.8. Gmail does not work when I install the respective browsers with these pets.

Sorry ! My bad.

I re-installed 5.2.8 and was successful in installing grub4dos. No issues.
I must have hit some wrong buttons.

Thanks and regards.

I did not "hack" :) .

When one runs the install, it tells you to enter the 5.2.8 specific text into a *.lst (I think) file. I did not want to do that. That's what I meant.

When I tried the Grub and Grub4Dos installers, they did not work. In 5.2.5 either program handles the bootting up OS choice ...

I have been using 5.2.5 for quite a while. I installed 5.2.8 (clean/wipe). But I found that the Grub and Grub4dos installers don't work. Yes, I can go in hack the necessary file. But that's not the point. Please treat this as a bug report. I reverted to 5.2.5. The Grub and Grub4dos installers work ...
