Hey all. Just wanted to share this screenshot of my website back in my early "Puppy" days. 1994-screenshot-puppy.jpg

It is a shame the old links are gone for the most part. This link was from a site called http://theoldnet.com/. I used the Netscape Navigator emulator to see it. Notice my mentions ...

Ok, I am getting old. Sorry for any misinformation. I think it is sorted out.
I still refuse to use another OS other than Puppy. Just not as sharp as I used to be.
It has always been a learning curve, but since the Social Security Kicked in, TG, I am a bit behind the times.

peppyy

I think you may be right. See screenshot of the "Pets" folder on that drive. There is a space in "My Applications". Perhaps I should have named it with a dash or underscore in between? Then It probably would have been in that folder?
Thanks

peppyy

mikewalsh Thanks. I was using a portable version of freetube I found in the forum and saw the file after that. I will have to take a look and see where I found it. I tend to keep all my portable apps on that drive. I usually just create a desktop icon and link it to the drive. I will look and see ...

peppyy

I think it is probably Free Tube that created the directory.

Hey again all. Just happened on this folder today when I was looking for something else. Any idea why and what created it? Odd folder(1).jpg
It has a lot of stuff in it that I can't open, other than the "logs". My best guess at the moment is that it has something to do with Firefox? Did a bunch of ...

Thanks for the info. No matter what I tried, it was booting to the highest resolution once the driver loaded, 2560 x 1440 (2k). Setting the resolution in xrander appears to have solved the issue on reboot.

I am able to change the resolution temporarily with the NV control panel however ...

Greetings again. If it helps someone else here is the info I have on my current configuration. VIDEO REPORT: fossapup64, version 9.5
Processor: AMD FX(tm)-6300 Six-Core Processor

@mikewalsh Another update.
It appears that the card did (sort of) work with the built-in driver, however it didn't hold the resolutions correctly. I have an issue when saving to xorg config with the 450 driver, but it appears to work okay.

I have noticed that after the driver is installed, the ...

Update. I have the monitor up and running, however I can't get it to sync with the bios screen. I have tried the multi monitor setup on my test install, and no matter what I do it always chooses the old dell as the primary monitor.

Hardinfo reports I have the correct kernel module I believe.

mikewalsh I tried the pet for the nvidia 450 from quickpet. it downloads and says it is installed and puts a overlay on the desktop saying so, and reboot computer. After doing so I have a radeon settings in the menu which aparently does not launch. Mind you, I do not have the new card installed ...

peppyy

mikewalsh I finally have a screen!
OOTB, the AMD card will default to the in-kernel "radeon" driver. The GTX 1060 will default to the in-kernel "nouveau" driver. By rights, you should get a picture on the monitor straight away. I'm assuming here that you'll be going with HDMI?

I am waiting for ...

peppyy

Got the manual for the monitor, some of it is a bit greek to me but it looks like it will support most resolutions.

Looks like when I get my hdmi cable I should be able to get the new card to work.

Odd that I can't seem to get it to work with the current card. Perhaps I ...

ASUS PB278Q 27" Widescreen HDMI DP WQHD PLS LED 2K Monitor 2560 x 1440

Evidently, I can't post with FF without posting one line at a time. Another long post gone. I will try to write it in a text file and post it.

peppyy

Had a big post with all the specs on everything, unfortunately it took me too long to write, (with distractions etc.) The monitor is a ASUS PB278Q 27" Widescreen HDMI DP WQHD PLS LED 2K Monitor 2560 x 1440. The cards are Card #1 rv 630 512mb

Two integrated dual-link DVI display outputs

Bought a 2K monitor to go with the GPU. No way to know if it works since I can't see the bios screen, must be too high a resolution for it since I only get a message, (Out of range).

peppyy

Update! Waiting to find out if the 450 works or not. Tried the cards a couple times and my mother board had a VGA led lit up. I think it is because my monitor does not support the minimum resolution. The card lit up in all it's glory, logos etc. so I bought a monitor that should support it. Should ...

I found this on the old forum, the pet was built for fatdog64 but works fine in Fossa64. https://oldforum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=85488

I am looking into modifying it to a larger size for my screen.

peppyy

It finds the os and boots fine, runs great. The only confusion I have is I appear to have 2 save files. On in it's own folder/mnt/sdd3/fossausb I created, and another in /mnt/sdd3
I think when I was running live from the cd, before rebooting I saved the file? I will look and see which one is newer ...

peppyy

I created a folder for called fossausb for the sfs files and did the same for the save file. That works perfectly. The only issue I had was that somehow it seems to have grabbed some extra sfs files from somewhere else which I believe was on a different drive. Libre office, 32bit compatibility ...

Could just need to delete the partition and do it all over again.

Unfortunately not after I got the case off it. It bit the dust. I had two pairs of magnifiers and and a magnifying glass and couldn't see anything wrong with it until I found the tiny cracks in the circuit board. Beyond my skill ...

I resurrected the Lexar 16 with some help from DD and your advice I found on another post. It is still a bit bent but the sliding collar holds it together. Unfortunately it only appears to work once before I get an error.

Because of this some ...

Can't thank you enough for this post. Saved 2 of my usb 3.0 drives. Now I should be able to use one to put my working copy of fossa64 on it to tweak ...

peppyy

Don't have any empty USB drives right now. Might have to dust off one of my old 4 gig drives and copy the files somewhere first. Found a lexar 16gb with easyos on it but the dog bent it and I am not sure how trustworthy it is.

peppyy

I know in the past I have done this with no problems, for instance with Tahr64. I was thinking it must have something to do with my burner setup, (which works perfectly with everything else.)
I did create a save file with a different name "fossa64save-live" on the suggested partition, and have the ...

If you mean did I check the box to close disk? I don't see an option to keep it open?

If this helps, I can still add folders/files to the dvd with Pburn.

peppyy

Edit Works on usb or hdd but not on cd, cdr, dvd, dvdr. See discussion for more details. Thanks bigpup and Flash

Is there a secret to getting a dvdrw to allow for saves on a disc? I wanted to create a live cd or dvd that allows me to test hardware. Put the fossa65-9.5 iso on it with pburn in open ...

Imagine that, it was there all the time.

Now on to adapters, or another monitor that can use DVI D2, hdmi or display port. Probably should just go for the adapter first.
I'll let you all know how it works out.
