Just some of my personal observations of the current woof-CE.

1. It’s much faster than the woof version I used circa 2013.

2. It appears that only the dependencies for distro compatible versions are listed. Pet files no longer list their dependencies. This looks to be what is used to distinguish ...

Are you sure that's the module you need? I looked up the specs and it appears that you need the module ath10k_pci (Qualcomm Atheros QCA9377 Wireless Network Adapter). This is in Fossapup's kernel, and may not be automatically loading for one reason or another.

First, check to see if another wifi ...

@PineapplePizza

You're very welcome. Nothing worse than not being able to connect to your wifi after buying a new laptop
I've updated the directions above to hopefully make it a little easier to follow.

Open the terminal and enter the following two commands. Provide their output if you would.

Code: Select all

cat /proc/asound/cards

Code: Select all

lspci | grep -i audio

Do you have multiple sound cards on your computer? If so, perhaps try using another and see if that helps.

Another thing that would be helpful is to know what, if any, packages (pet or otherwise) you've installed. Does this happen on a fresh boot with no save file/folder?

Just a hunch, but it ...

rtl8821ce compiling instructions :

The module needs to be compiled against Fossapup64's kernel. Make sure you have Fossapup64's devx and kernel sources sfs files loaded.

Get the source code from https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce . Download the zip and unzip the file. Enter the directory ...

Was this line in DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS-norm meant to end on a comma?

After sobering up I see that I was wrong. I think I got confused by the icon for Fixmenus being the same as the icon of 'Puppy Setup/Menu Manager', and was expecting Fixmenus to work as Menu Manager does.

I noticed after running lsmod that the 8821ce was already loaded, but on ...

I run on a Lenovo IdeaPad S145. I have another computer that is much, much better and runs Windblows 10. I rarely use it. It’s main purpose in life is to gather dust bunnies. I use it for a recording studio (I’m a guitarist).

My Lenovo is strictly a Linux machine. Formatted ext4. If you’re doing a ...

I fired up a video in MPV and wondered why I wasn't hearing anything. And then it dawned on me. After years of dealing with Pulse-Audio on Arch-Linux, I realized that I needed to get back to the basics. I opened a terminal window and entered 'alsamixer'. I ended up having to maximized the Master ...

I hoped it'd be kind of self-explanatory...sorry, that's on me.

Here's the jist of it:
I booted into a fresh ISO with no save file and connected to the web (via dongle). I went to quikckpet and installed the current disto updates. I then went to 'Menu --> Fixmenus', which did nothing...regardless ...

@elroy :-

For a terminal that's easy to work with via touchpad, you might like to take a look at Sakura. Even more configurable than LXTerminad l, it should be available via the PPM.

It's been my personal favourite for a couple of years since I discovered it.

Mike. ;)

Sorry, Mike. I'm still ...

elroy

Well, I tested it using a fresh ISO with no save file, nor any modifications upon loading it other than going into quickpet and installing the offered update for the distro. I doubt it’s a hardware issue when the issue relates to a file name (on the surface it looks to me like a missing script). In ...

elroy

First off 666philb, I’d like to congratulate you on your excellent distro. Out of the box it feels solid and is certainly fetching. I had to compile a driver so that I didn’t have to perpetually use a dongle (rtl8821ce), but I’ve had to do that with every Linux distro I’ve used in the recent past ...
