Re: NVIDIA_SETTING for Legacy GPU

What specific Nvidia driver package?

Have you tried in a terminal?

Code: Select all

fixmenus

That should update the menu.

Every Nvidia driver package from them, I have used, has also installed the Nvidia x server settings program.

It should be in menu ->Setup

Re: DistroWatch needs a newer Puppy version listed for Puppy Linux!!!!!

The info statement that is at the top of the Puppy Linux DistroWatch section. Really needs to be generic and not about a specific Puppy version. Your statement seems to be better for the specific info about BookwormPup. If you clicked on the DistroWatch link to specifically BookwormPup. That pops up...

storage media --CD, USB-Stick

Suggest broadening this to include DVD, SSD and HDD.

Thanks

Also SD cards.
I boot from SD card installs on several computers.
As long as computer can boot from a SD card, it works.

Re: How delete old drivers audio/graphics in Pupxxxsave.4fs?

If using the setup programs that are in menu ->Setup are not providing the setup changes you need. Your best option is going to be do a remaster with all the programs you want to have in the remaster. That is really the idea of making a remaster. First time you boot it on whatever computer.

Try adding to the linux line or kernel line of the boot menu entry

Code: Select all

That seems to work if you boot to black screen.

Probably have the wrong sound device selected to use. If these other computers are newer than around year 2019. Xenialpup may not have hardware support for them. Any hardware newer than around 2019 was not around when Xenialpup was built. So hard to support hardware that was not there when Xenialpup...

Re: can I use inxi to fetch system information and how to use root#

Puppy is setup as a single user root.

So, when you run Puppy, you are the root user, and can do anything in the file system.
Run any command.

Sudo is not needed.

If you want to run any command in a terminal.
just enter the command.
Press enter.
