Check /proc/acpi/wakeup. Although the names are cryptic, if you use a USB look for XHC or EHC(I). Depending on the uniqueness of the computer, your keyboard may no longer work to wakeup the machine if you disable the USB as a wakeup source. If it's a touchscreen generally touching it or pressing the...

Build an up-to-date GTK libraries set. That's the only answer, or find someone who's packaged such libraries.

I have a desktop with an SD reader. It is recognized in Windows & 64-Fossa, but in Xenial an SD does not appear recognized as a desktop partition or at terminal. USB & internal partitions are still recognized. I have both Puppy Event Manager -> Icon Handler boxes checked. Am I missing a set...

The issue most likely is trying to load the module results in the module failing, specifically because there is *no* such device. Leave it be. The linux kernel will generally guess right as to what modules are needed. If the module being probed in is because of default configuration, I suppose that ...

Greetings again all. Being old school I shutdown every night, and on occasion I have a boot issue. This machine boots really fast with my ssd and 32gb of ram with a frugal install. That being said, once in a while I will see the boot stall when copying the adrive to ram. I have run several live tes...

My advice seeing as you're using it for school: chattr +i after installing puppy squashfiles and boot configuration files. This will immediately stop any chance to remove squashfiles somehow or destroy the boot. Also you will need to patch filemnt to not use rm -rf, instead using rmdir. (super bad) ...

Phoenix

It'll either be in Puppy Package Manger (PPM) or is a squash file. You can unload it via the sfs load on the fly entry in the menu, under utility.

Linux has and does include proprietary blobs/drivers. Realtek for instance provides their source which you can build against the kernel tree (see quickpet to obtain said source). Usually the drivers load in the 'firmware' or blob in order to work with it. You may find that some drivers involve rever...

Phoenix

The placeholder variables, refer to the already, most likely set variables in the system. If its not usually the 'configure' script can do this. It is a dependency, just like how you need make in order to intepret the Makefile. Usually when we talk about dependencies we're not talking about the comp...

Phoenix

I'd suggest making sure that you were already booted and using the savefile. As well, it may help to see /var/log/messages or dmesg. It could have also incorrectly suspended itself (and alas never woke up again).

Phoenix

You'd think I'd know how by now, but things change so much over the years, so I'm going to ask about Puppy installation for my wife's computer. It's an Acer laptop similar to mine in the sig. It has UEFI and Win7 installed on sda3. She had been using it with Tahrpup32 for a few years with a CD boot...

The linux terminology calls it a virtual terminal. An actual terminal is just what you see in a virtual terminal, except it takes up the entire display usually.

Phoenix

A more universal option is lsusb. But yes, it's more convenient.

Phoenix

I believe its mistakenly marked as such in the browser, you should try using the built in file manager and then try 'running' the PET.

HDD is formatted with a PCDOS MBR, which I understand is usually just called MBR. Same thing, just different ways to name it. I have tried fiddling with the Bios CMS mode setting. I think you are talking about CSM mode (compatibility support module) that when enabled, makes the UEFI bios work like ...

Phoenix

Access the URL I mentioned and look up memory. Disable the one that says cache.memory.enable.
You should try using Palemoon instead.

Phoenix

May need to adjust firefox about:config to stop using memory itself as cache.

Phoenix

Don't forget to turn off Fast Startup.

Phoenix

Ok, this would certainly work with Bionicpup64 release on the main page, but this doesn't account for any changes to the kernel.

Phoenix

Which puppy do you have first of all?

Phoenix

Most things are available in the sense that you don't care about the time required/spent. Some however are written with code that doesn't work with 32bit, but that's rare. However since 32bit has been phased out, you got your work cut out for you to build everything you want and tracking down all th...

Phoenix

The lock icon when pressed and has no password will prompt for one to set the password for the 'lock screen'. You can right click and click the option to clear it.

Phoenix

Snail I know you said you didn't want to bring up the issue of setting the boot order/configuring the BIOS, but taking the route of using Windows itself to set the UEFI boot entry to rEFInd and using rEFInd to boot the usb is a solution not yet tried and will work the first time. If rEFInd is coupe...

Phoenix

Bigpup, it's not just that I can't make the boot device order permanent, I cannot even get to even start changing the boot order This is because the although the USB appears in a couple of places where I can select it for immediate boot, there seems no way to set the boot order, let alone save it. ...

Phoenix

Check 'Manage saved networks'

Phoenix

You may try using cat /proc/acpi/wakeup to see if something happens to be disabled as a wakeup device. (In this case, everything)
To enable one of the devices, you write echo <device name> > /proc/acpi/wakeup If you use a USB, please do not enable XHC or EHC or USB.

Phoenix

The USB since it is removable, will not have a permanent entry no matter what you do. Best you can do is install rEFInd and set it as the bootloader via the steps provided at https://rodsbooks.com/refind/installing.html. Then if you happen to plug in the USB after it boots up all you have to do is p...

Phoenix

Did you try pressing TAB to go through the buttons and press enter on the button for 'Dead Mouse?' when puppy greets you with the setup wizard?

Phoenix

You probably have to get a newer kernel. Also maybe buy another adapter, apparently this one is problematic.

Phoenix

Which puppy are you using? As well it may be possible an older version of Telegram works.
