So, I got this Dell desktop with i3 4150 and upgrading to E3 1270 v3 (coming in two days). Stole it, I feel, for $15.00 on ebay. This is literally how I upgrade my systems. Instead of buying brand new, I wait for years then apply the "One man's trash is another man's treasure" principle. :lol ...

This thread made me try to boot Tahr6.0 NO PAE and PAE, just for giggles, on my desktop with bios set to UEFI and Grub2 and both booted with no problem

Good luck @Steve91

mikewalsh How are doing this fine evening or morning? Dont know exactly what part of the world you're at.

Did you mean you have a PC that you can set bios to either uefi or legacy? And you have it set on legacy and using grub4dos? Yes, that will work. Look at the chart on my first post on this ...

Steve91 - I think you can still run you favorite TahrPup. You just need to get GRUB2 installed. GRUB2 is the ONLY thing that will work with UEFI. Old grub, which TahrPup had, and UEFI is a NO BOOT. Even if you copy all the folders and files, it is still the old grub.

Here's my suggestion ...

Hello Steve91

Just to be sure, here is a link where you can download tahrpup64: https://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/puppy-tahr/iso/

Try telling us what you've done so far. A lot of people here knows what they're doing. They've proven me their expertise. And, below also might help. Good luck to ...

Thanks @wizard. The link is now bookmarked

Good day everyone. How's everybody doing? Hope all is well.

Sometimes when I have spare time, I like doing stuff that's fun, like graphics, that doesn't involve going out. I help update openstreetmaps as a contribution to the community and makes me feel productive at the same time. I wish I know ...

Thanks Jasper

I searched their forum and the first thing that came up is this :thumbdown: :lol: :
If the software needs to install a windows hardware driver, it won't work at all under wine. Wine doesn't support Windows hardware drivers, apart from HID devices (mainly gamepads).

So, I contacted ...

jp734

it is a dongle. And I'll add, if I plug in a storage usb flash drive, I can map it on config "drives" tab and can read what's in it.

lsusb command:
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 8087:0024 Intel Corp. Integrated Rate Matching Hub

Okay. Did more testing. With the usb key unplugged, there are 744 items under /dev folder. Everytime I plug it in, two files are added to it: hidraw0 and a folder /usb with hiddev0 in it. I tried creating symlinks to these two but it still will not detect the usb key. I think as far as linking wine ...

Good day fellas. Power adapter came in, hit CTRL, REFRESH + POWER using the adapter without the battery connected and it gave me what I think is the final blow to this attempt. Error message on top left of screen read:
Developer mode is disabled on this device by system ...

jp734

rcrsn51 - No I did not see anything like that. After I confirmed I want Developer Mode it rebooted and gave this message:

Your system last booted in Developer Mode.
Returning to Normal (Verified) Mode...
Upon completion, the system will reboot

and that's it. I'm beginning to think you are correct ...

jp734

@bigpup @wizard - I went ahead and bought an adapter, brand new for $8.00 (not expensive as I thought), rated for this chromebook and should arrive tomorrow. Figured I'd wait for it to arrive before doing anything else. Will keep you posted. Thanks

jp734

I thought I'd play with graphics again tonight. I'm still using bionic. It's old but I can still do everything I want and need so I thought of doing a tribute to this legendary bad boy. A screenshot of my desktop and two clean ones for those who wants to use them. One with fuzzy border and one ...

jp734

bigpup - You got it.

You see, the first time I run the program, I have a choice to either test it for 30 days or if I have a license, I can click activate, enter a serial number, then it asks me to plug-in the usb to make sure I own that serial number. This allows me to install ProgeCAD to as many ...

@jp734
this is going to be an issue coz this hand me down chromebook did not come with the 45W PD.

wizard - We just acquired this chromebook a couple of days ago and so far I've been using the battery and haven't tried charging it yet. Since you ...

No cmos bat, just disconnect the main battery, press and hold the power button for about 30 sec and then run from ac adapter to do procedure.

Hey bigpup

I need to mention
It shows up on the list if I run lsusb . I can see the vendor and product numbers
It is not a storage flash drive. when I plug it in, no icon appears at the bottom of the screen that I can click to mount.

Is there a way to mount a usb device using its vendor and ...

jp734

I wasn't at first but after reading rcrsn51 post, I did and I got the message. I'll try to open the case and see if there is a cmos battery I can remove and see what happens

jp734

@wizard

before loggin in as guest, should I this this message:

Your system last booted in Developer Mode.
Returning to Normal (Verified) Mode...
Upon completion, the system will reboot

because I see this every time it reboots after enabling developer mode

jp734

rcrsn51 - I did see the "OS Verification Off" before doing CTRL+D and hit ENTER to confirm. I did not see a clock on the upper left corner, It just went straight to booting ChromeOS.

I'm willing to give it another go. I doubt the result will be different though as I tried it twice already. I'll ...

jp734

My first attempt looked good at first and then failed in the end. I was able to set it to Developer Mode with the ESC, REFRESH key and POWER. Then CTRL+D plus ENTER to confirm. It rebooted and gave me this message
Your system last booted in Developer Mode.

Unfortunately I can't specify a location and it always timed out.

You can download the .deb driver files from here: https://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadtop.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=mfc7440n_all

If what you have are also .deb files, I think you can double click or right click to install. I'd recommend getting the latest driver though

If it also has a scanner ...

I recently installed Wine and it's not detecting my usb device. I have a usb key that I need to have plugged in in order to activate my license. I wanted to map it out by creating a symlink

My problem is /dev folder has 747 files and not one is ttyusb ...

The board name should be at the bottom of the first Chromebook screen. Is it SNAPPY?

rcrsn51 - I rebooted and did not see anything on the screen. At the login screen were options to power down, continue as guest, add a person, etc... but did not see "snappy"

jp734

Is that what it is? I was searching for "BENTLEY-BIGDADDY". :lol:

Ah, I get it now. The platform line is what we are looking for. The chromebook we have is internally called BENTLEY-BIGDADDY that was built on snappy board. :thumbup:

Hey wizard

I visited those two website actually before posting. That's what I checked and did not see my board that's why I asked if it's updated regularly or outdated.
