And this is suppose to be a better way to run games Exclamation Rolling Eyes Hmm yeah. I was excited to see steam... now.. less so. Thanks for all your work on this problem bigpup. My job has suddenly gone into overdrive for me so I doubt I'll be able to do much for the next week(s), however if I d...

Do you have enough memory? 2Gb. I thought swap files were supposed to fix this. It seems odd that steam would be so hungry for resources since it's really just a kind of bloated browser. Notwithstanding Steam's outlandish requirements, is this kind of behavior from PPM the way it's supposed to work...

is this a random event or happening after a while? It happens within 5 minutes of turning the system on without fail and regardless of what I'm trying to do. If I left click on the icon it probes the drives to find that I indeed do have 13Gb still free but continues to flash and tell me lies. Oddly...

When I boot the system the personal storage tells me I've got 14 Gb personal storage space with 13 Gb free.



Then all of a sudden, for no apparent reason it starts flashing red and tells me it is 0 Mb with 0 Mb free.



Why?

Trying to update the Steam client and it tells me it has no space to do so. see https://i.imgur.com/V9cr9eZ.jpg for screen shot with error message and other info. Xenialpup 7.5 installed on USB, ext3, folder not savefile. Any ideas how to proceed? EDIT: OK so it gets worse now and incredibly confusi...

Thanks for all the info and help people, I really appreciate it. @mikeslr, I've read a few horror stories about bleachbit chewing up systems. At the moment, it's early days for me so I'm wildly thrashing around and hopefully learning from my mistakes and I'm not too concerned if I have to start over...

Did you install it from the Puppy Package Manager or did you download it and then install it? I had to download it on a different system and transfer it to a USB and install it that way because the system I'm trying to install onto has no network capability at the moment (needs an ethernet cable an...

So I was looking for packages to run on my newly working install of Xenialpup 7.5 and I checked the wikka page to find this Xenialpup 7.5 uses Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus packages and includes the bugfixes and improvements from the Woof CE build system. It is compatible with Ubuntu 16.04 packages. So ...

@ bigpup I couldn't get the pets to work so I tried Xenialpup 7.5 instead. Here's where it gets complex so bear with me. The boot sequence gets to Xorg Wizard... Starting X, specs in/etc/X11/xorg.conf etc. Then it says Exited from X and gives me a # prompt. Not so good. When I run hardinfo however i...

@ Mike Walsh

Thanks for your reply Mike. Unfortunately it didn't work

I also tried loading this and other modules from the Network Wizard but it keeps telling me no new interfaces were detected.

I will try to see if I can get ndiswrapper to work with it.

Hi all. My wife's laptop (HP Pavilion) struggles hard with Windows 10 so I decided to put Tahrpup 6.0.5 on a USB and see how it goes. It goes well as it turns out except one problem... wireless internet doesn't work. Basically I've spent the last several hours reading everything I can in the beginne...

Wow... I was away for a few days and came back to a full on BBQ - flame and salt everywhere! Anyway.. once I get a chance to sit down an decipher all the hoo-har, I'll let you guys know which solution was easier for me to understand. Thanks. (and by the way, 'should be shot' is not the same as 'I wi...

Whoever chose the default colours for the terminal in Tahrpup should be shot. Seriously, light green on sky blue is completely impossible to read. I have to simultaneously navigate with ROX just so I can see what I'm doing. Please for the love of invisible sky wizards someone tell me how to change it.

A little bit of extra information about my coasters if anyone is interested. Burnt with windows 8 native disk burner resulted in 8.3 file names Burnt with Nero from win 7 resulted in 8.3 file names. (this was the first disk I made on a friends machine before I had a chance to think about things.. I ...

What you have failed to mention is: The usual suspects: Processor speed, Memory - how much is important; Hard drive and video. It all matters! Please state MEMORY. It's a dual core pent IV running at 3.06 GHz and has 2 GB memory... but this is kind of beside the point... puppy is now running (I'm t...

Hmmmmm..... Now I'm super confused. After 2 days of trying... cold booting, warm booting, swearing, trying to resurect the old win xp (which failed), plugging in old drives, unplugging and re-plugging everything, using every puppy boot parameter I could find.. nothing worked - always the same 'dropp...

Am I correct in assuming that you no longer have the computer for which you burned FatDog to a USB-Key in order to deal with its virus? Yep. It was a laptop that is now landfill afaik. Also, Since starting this process, my wife has upgraded her (this) laptop to win 10. Not sure that will make any d...

Tried BurnCDCC... it doesn't work either.

So I have this old computer (no idea of the specs... but it runs win XP ok) and I want to play around with puppy so I decided to create a bootable puppy CD with tahrpup 6.0.2. In the past I've successfully created bootable USB drives with Fatdog for a laptop in order to remove a virus so I thought t...
