My huawei tablet seems to think it needs bluetooth as well as wifi to transfer files from my PC. What do I need to do to get this going please? I have installed wliwifi hardware package and rfkill which reading online, appears to be what I need. Then I installed the Bluetooth meta package. I have re...

A host connected to router #1 does not automatically get access to a host on the LAN side of router #2, regardless of what routes the first host sets up. I think this is my mis-understanding. So, thank you for that explanation. So, I have reconnected the ethernet from Router #1 to one of the 4 LAN ...

Sorry, I thought I had answered but maybe the ether swallowed it up. You can have computers connected to router 1 have router 1 assign IPs in 192.168.0.x range and You can have computers connected to router 2 have router 2 assign IPs in 192.168.1.x range But the connection between router 1 and route...

The case of the missing Message Window... I have found what caused this. There was no way I could find a 'handle' to pull up the message window at the bottom of the editor window. It just was not there, and now I realise why. I looked in /root/.config/geany/geany.conf for items which referenced the ...

Thanks Fred, I will give it a try and come back and report what happened.

So, using /etc/frisbee/wpa_supplicant.conf attaches to the WiFi router and using /etc/frisbee/dhcpcd.conf hands out the IP addresses
Yes, this seems to have fixed it. That's great. Thanks.

On my Debiandog there is nothing(much) in the /etc/network/interfaces file. I am used to adding stuff to /etc/network/interfaces file and this is what all of the searches seem to do. However, obviously this way of doing things is no longer the right way. In my /etc/network/interfaces file there is n...

I have played around a little more and found a translation app on my tablet which works pretty well. What I have come to understand is that in my case it seems I have to have a different IP sub network on each router. So my Router #2 stays at 192.168.0.1 and ISP Router #1 stays at 192.168.1.1 I dont...

I just did 3 lines from the command line
# date --set YYYY-MM-DD (put todays date in there)
# date --set HH:MM:SS (put the time now in there)
# hwclock -w (will update the hardware clock to the date in system clock)

Hi, This is really great work. Thanks. What do I need to get Simplified Chinese going on my debiandog (2020-04-29) and in Palemoon please? root@lapdoglen:~# uname -a Linux lapdoglen 4.19.0-9-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 4.19.118-2 (2020-04-29) i686 GNU/Linux I guess it might be this 2a + 2b I need ? It is ...

ocpaul20

I have just had this same problem with palemoon where every single https:// page would report the certificate was bad.

The solution WAS a time correction BUT the date had been reset to 2013 for some weird reason, so...make sure the year is correct as well.

ocpaul20

OK, thanks. I definitely have a problem with the way I have configured my routers because in my head I am thinking that I want devices attached to the second router(192.168.0.1) to have addresses in that range. So, both ARE trying to assign addresses in their respective ranges of IPs via DHCP. The s...

ocpaul20

So to describe my home network: I have one router(192.168.1.1) at the point where the fibreoptic from the ISP comes into the apartment. I have a PC(192.168.1.25) connected by wifi to this. Internet works fine. I have one other router(192.168.0.1) connected to the first router by ethernet but I canno...

ocpaul20

I think I should move the stuff to /etc/init.d anyway, but it is good to know what I need to do to boot as puppy. Thanks.

ocpaul20

OK thanks. Then I will move stuff to /etc/init.d and see how that goes.

ocpaul20

I have some scripts in /root/Startup on my PC machine which are executed on boot by root. Stuff like mounting disks, starting mysql, nginx, and checking if they are running, etc However, when I ssh into the PC machine from another machine (laptop) as puppy@remotehost these same root scripts execute ...

ocpaul20

Hi Fred, Thanks for your reply. Yes, thats the message window I mean. I have tried dragging it open, but however hard I try to find a separator to drag/dragging handle I cannot find one so I am fairly sure there is not one there . I will investigate the .config/geany area and the plugins to see if t...

BusterDog Missing Message Window in Geany I have an odd thing happening to Geany in my newly-installed BusterDog. I have definitely got the View/Show Message Window box ticked, but there is no message window. When I do a search in files or whatever, expecting the results to come up in the message wi...

ocpaul20

Yes you are both probably right in that I should upgrade to a later version and reinstall all the packages I have downloaded. I was hoping to put it off a while longer but there are bits and pieces not working now and so it is about the right time.

Thank you for your input and help.

ocpaul20

Thanks for your reply Fred. Not aware I have a buster repository but something may have got mixed up along the way. My /etc/apt/sources.list has been changed to the Chinese mirror as the more traditional links often take longer to update Synaptic package lists and sometimes fail. This is how it stan...

I am trying to install python matplotlib (this same error happens on other installs too although not all - Eg: python-tk ) It seems to be something wrong with libc6 install or else some of the Google search results mention Perl has made this a hard error after a particular release. How can they depr...

ocpaul20

Thanks for all the help. I will try all these things and then if I continue to get corruptions, then the only thing is to start a new save file - which I have had to do occasionally. Anyway...

ocpaul20

I use Rox filer and yes, thats what it shows. I have not changed the fonts (not sure where to do that). When trying to delete using the inode, it seems as if there are hard links to other files so after deleting the first link, it offers me the next file name. Could it be a memory problem? How do I ...

ocpaul20

They are all zero length. Maybe I just delete them using their inode numbers and then see what re-appears - if anything. Thanks for your help. I have tried deleting a few of the files by using their inodes. Now it seems like there is something more serious going on. http://www.pelicanbill.com/public...

ocpaul20

OK, so I have done that and all drives and the savefile came up clean. Nothing has changed in the root directory. What might be the problem shown in these images of my root directory. It is obviously some kind of corruption but how do I find where it is coming from (memory failure?) and how do I fix...

ocpaul20

Thanks, I will try that.

ocpaul20

Can someone please just remind me how to do a fsck of a save file /live/changes.dat on my DebianDog Jessie? I know it has to be unmounted first. I am doing a fsck in the normal boot process but I have still got some corruption in the /root directory, so I guess I need to do a manual one and fix thes...

ocpaul20

It seems to me, most of the problems over the last few hundreds of years have been caused by countries being overly patriotic and the governments of those countries promoting the nationalistic agenda. They close themselves off from the rest of the world (close internet doors, business doors, and inf...

When I ping 192.168.1.25 it does not return so I have to ^C When I ping 192.168.1.1 it returns immediately with a normal ping return. (<1ms) I just want ping to work between them, so that I can copy files(scp), telnet, putty, anything really between the two PCs. Mainly I want to understand how to do...

ocpaul20

I hope someone can help with this problem please? Both router A & B are Chinese and menu is in Chinese so I have to wing it with setting it up as best I can. I can get onto them to the setup, and I can use the context to understand what I have to put where (sort-of) ! However, if I understood ho...

ocpaul20

Hi Fred,
Yes, I was afraid it was something to do with my setup. Oh well, I can live with it.
I will try the newer geany I think and see if I get more luck with that.
Thanks,
Paul
