Puppy-based web server went from root to NOBODY!

I've been running a Web server on Puppy 4.1 for more than a year with no issues. Today, all my scripts that require write permissions failed. The file is created but never populated with data. The user name has switched to nobody from root. I have not done anything but turned on my computer today. I...

When I press Z^, everything goes dark and the power switch blinks. When I press the power switch again, the power light is constant but nothing else appears to be happening. The correct display is listed, but doesn't quite look right on the screen. Round objects appear to be a bit oval. External USB...

Sorry about the 2x post. I just discovered that the 1201n Eee has a wlan-card is [ realteak rtl8191se ]. Not the RTL8192S. RTL8192S drops wifi lots... When using the installer, is there way to make the SD card ext2 instead of vfat? I have an app that will not install on vfat since it need to set per...

Thanks for the reply. The two finger scroll does not appear to work. In addition, when I plug in a USB mouse, it is not recognized. Most things appear to be working. I did lose the Volume widget on the task bar. I'm not sure what the Z^ key does. When I pressed it, the screen went blank and appeared...

Same problem!

Same here. I have used a USB LG Slim DVD on my Eees with Puppy 4.12 and 4.2 for more than a year with no problem making CD-ROMs, ripping music and DVDs, and alike. Today, neither of them saw my USB DVD after 1/2 hour of trying but had no problems with any other device. Very weird! Any suggestions wo...

Seamonkey processes a page as it is flagged. As an XML document, it fist must be parsed then processed. The errant entity '<' cause...
