I have been running an access control system on a xp guest from puppy using Virtual Box for a number of years now.
It is like an elephant riding around on a mouse.
Previously I ran Parallels on puppy and Parallels on Centos4
I was able to move to VBox when they finally got that network ...

Hi, although it doesn't refer to your device, there is a lot of advice in this post that should head you in the right direction.

Load devx for your version
Load kernel souces for your kernel
to find kernel version, in terminal [ uname -r ]
Download the latest .run version from VitualBox not OSE.
in terminal [ adduser -D -H vboxusers ]
run the VBox.run.
That should do it.
Good luck
Depending on your version you may have to ...

#dmesg | grep dvb will give some different useful information. Please post that.
I am unclear whether your device is loading the firmware.
You may not have a problem at all but just don't know the next step.

@whitesnow
I have TV running in Lupu.
What do you get with
#dmesg | grep dvb

Hi Joe, checked out the package tools that you posted.
So it's
1. Unpack a tgz package with 'unzipper_dragNdrop5' and then you will have a l directory with all the directories and files to be installed inside .
2 Drag this to 'desc_maker' add your description for the package and it will put the ...

Will be back at those other machines tomorrow and will test the script for the disappearing mouse.
I will also take the hard drive from the Asus M2a-vm-hdmi to test if the mouse is still there on the different mobo.



The full install with the transplanted hard drive worked perfectly on the ...

Hi Joe, just did a full install on a Asus M2a-vm-hdmi to test.
Mouse worked fine after full install.
No sound on the ALC883 but this has always been a problem on this machine.
Am now trying to install the ATI radeon 'catalyst' software which I hope will fix the sound problem.
Will be back at those ...

I am experiencing a strange problem.
Running TXZ as frugal the ps2 mouse works fine.
When I do a full install the ps2 mouse disappears.
This has happened on 2 different Asus KV8 rigs and also on 2 more Asus bases machines.
I tried with different ACPI settings but no luck.
After doing the full ...

Here is the 'dmesg | grep dvb' output for a USB digital tuner that I just plugged in without reboot.
You can see that it starts is in a cold state.
The modules are loaded ,it moves to warm sate and it is ready to go. You should be seeing something like this.



dvb-usb: found a 'KWorld USB ...

@edoc

Yes plug it in and boot.
You can activate it but it ain't in the frontal lobes at the moment ie I have forgotten exactly how.

modprobe -something or other

@edoc

Was your dvb device plugged in before running the dmesg command?.
If it was then the kernel has no support for dvb

@edoc

dmesg | grep dvb

if the firmware is incompatible you will see a bunch of squawks.

I did this when Lupu first came out so I hope that it still stands. I have downloaded 505 and will run this set up on it when I get some time.

1. Make sure that your petsave is large enough . Don’t want to get half way and find that you have busted the limit. There are some fat boys here

2. Devx ...

You can use slaxer_pup which is a very solid base to build on.
http://minipc.org/slaxer/
Everything you need for VBox is at that site.(except the latest VBox.run)
The devx and the kernel sources can be installed directly.
Any problems Big_Bass is very helpful.
Also you can use the ...

That was the one I was referring to.
The VBox install log is helpful.
Go vanilla and get it working might be a good approach. Then go back and have another go on lupu.

You will need the correct devx and kernel sources for your puppy version.
For lupu there is no kernel sources at this point.
There is a "wary kernel sources" for the same kernel but there is a disparity in the gcc version that it was compiled on and it doesn't work with VBox in lupu.
So if you would ...
