I'm running Puppy 400, and I have loadkeys, but no dumpkeys or showkey. loadkeys works correctly (successfully swaped Caps lock and Esc) but I'd like to have showkey to help with some other mappings.
Where can I get showkey?
I am new to Linux and I am trying to install puppy on an old IBM thinkpad 600X (10gb hd, 196mb ram) When installing puppy from a cd, it loads up and does the kernel stuff before "Searching for Puppy files in computer disk drives" - this takes about 10 minutes before saying "pup_421.sfs not found. Dropping out to initial ramdisk console" then it goes to "/bin/sh can't access tty; jon control turned off". then it stays like that and doesn't continue.

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy question mark key in my keyboard isn't working. ("?"). I've tried to use xev and showkey -k to try to identify at least a keycode and manually use xmodmap to map it. Unfortunately, the keys aren't being detected in neither utilities. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 in a Virtual Machine (VirtualBox 3.2.4 r62467), and my Kernel is 2.6.32-22-generic. My Host is an Ubuntu 8.04.
When I run xev in my host, I get:
KeyRelease event, serial 30, synthetic
NO, window 0x3600001,
root 0x5d, subw 0x0, time 19346721, (726,722), root:(730,746),
state 0x2010, keycode 211 (keysym 0x2f, slash), same_screen YES,
XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 61
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (2f) "/"
XFilterEvent returns: False
[Code]...
What can this be? It's not a special multimedia key, it's a simple one. I would like to understand what exactly is happening so at least I can try to better debug this issue. If it's detected in my host, why it isn't in my guest?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have disks of Lucid Puppy 5.11 and MacPup 5.11. Both disks run very well on my laptop, an old 2001 model Sony Vaio which is already booting Ubuntu 10.04 UNE.
But neither finishes loading on my HP Pavilion a1020n desktop, which is running Windoze XP Home. They both bog down on looking for optical drives... interesting as I am loading them from CD and it reads the optical drives fine up to that point.
It's sad that a quick-loading portable Linux won't load at all on my newer, faster machine.
Maybe it's because the laptop has GRUB already? My HP chokes every time I try to modify the boot sector, lots of "wonderful" security features to keep Windoze from "getting corrupted".

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm fairly new to linux, I can't get puppy to connect to ANY wireless network, protected or not. The driver autodetected my wireless card (IBM high rate wireless LAN with modem II) as an Intersil Prism 2.5 chipset, but it will not work. I wonder if the driver is corrupted, or if I should just use ndiswrapper with the windows drivers. Obviously, I would prefer to use native linux drivers, but the wrapper will not tax the system too much if I use that option. I have heard that these laptops are very linux friendly, and I ran xubuntu on it for quite some time with no big problems. My home router is a Belkin F6D4230-4 V3. This thing will not show up at all, but my family's old linksys will, I can't connect to it either.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am comparing distros of Linux on a computer with VERY low specs. I have a CLI only version of Ubuntu 9.10 running A-OK, but when I run lwm or just X the video flickers (which I believe is due not to the video card/driver but to the resources used). I have tried this with two video cards with the same result.
When I run puppy it flies with no setup.
I know that Puppy is designed for older systems (2.4 Kernel and all that), but is there any other reason why Ubuntu would be slow in comparison.
I am using the nv driver with a Riva TNT PCI Video card.
I know there are many threads about dual boot linux windows. I did a search but couldn't find for this specific question. I'm planning to use Puppy Linux as my main OS on my P4 machine. I asked a friend of mine who knows Linux very well. I asked should I install Puppy alone on my P4 machine? He told me that I should dual boot with XP because sometimes Linux alone does not compatible with graphic card, sound card, Ethernet adapter, etc. If dual boot Linux with Windows. They both can share the same drivers. Is it true?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm pretty new to Linux's. I've been slowly learning, and I really enjoy these. I have a speech in class to persuade the class about anything of my choice. I chose to try and convince them that Linux is a much better operating system than either Mac or Windows. I got a lot of data and had a thought that if i were to get an old computer to run very fast it would definitely turn some heads. So I loaded Puppy Linux on it and I want to find a way to make it look like Windows 7 and give the power point on it, then to pull back the podium and show them that I did all of it on a HP6633C computer made for Windows 98. I thought that it would definitely bring my point across. Any advice on how to get the effect I'm looking for?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a question that is really probably a lilo question, but here goes. Can you use lilo to boot different linuxes on separate hard drives. Like this.
/dev/hda1 - Slackware 13 with lilo in MBR
/dev/hdb1 - Puppy linux
Here is my lilo image area:

Boots Slackware ok, but when booting puppy it screws up and seems to be printing the boot messages for the Slackware kernel on hda1. Now, how do I tell lilo to find the puppy kernel?
Ok, this is not a matter of life or death for me. I am just an experimental geek. I had a three partition HD originally, one blank, one with my home directory and one empty one. Then, I used unetbootin and put puppy on my empty partition. Now, puppy works, but I wantt a way to switch. I can reinstall, I just want a way of having several linux OS's on a hard drive.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just booted to Puppy (for the first time in my life) on a 6 y/o amd type with a 40Gb HD, Ram: 512.I would like to make a permanent install of puppy onto the HD, I have read various pieces on how to install, defraging, repartitioning, differing file systems. However, i am a bit lost. The computer will be used for e-mail, web browsing, and watching the odd film (films installed on the drive) - I am unsure as to the best combination of file types and partition in order to keep puppy happy and keep some compatibility with the world outside of linux.
For instance, could i have a small partition with the puppy install and setting, and the rest on a format that would be compatible with windows/mac/linux? If so, how do I do this, pls bare in mind that my windows install is running but incomplete. I have the feeling this will be a really simple problem for someone to help me with,
I want to use unetbootin to download 5.2.5. to my flash drive. lupu-525.iso (5.2.5.) is downloaded into my archive manager. For unetbooten to download it it needs the address for lupu-525.iso in my archive manager. For the life of me I can't find it.
