Re: Trying to figure out what's in my PCIe slots
Well, it's been a lot longer than I thought, sorry, crap came up. This is the card I'm using: https://www.newegg.com/p/14G-0608-00040 I can access the card at BIOS level (and it's set to allow it to be read both by OS and for boot), and I can see the drives in the card, so I know that much is ...

Re: Trying to figure out what's in my PCIe slots
I tried all three listed items on the page mcewanw linked, same results. I know the computer is physically registering the card, at minimum, because it initializes it when I boot the computer.
Is there any way to probe a specific PCIe port?

Re: Trying to figure out what's in my PCIe slots
Then that didn't do anything. I forgot the 'grep' part and it made an error report. But once I added it, it gave no feedback and opened the next line of terminal command.

Trying to figure out what's in my PCIe slots
Okay, okay. I know. Should be basic. I'm trying to find info on what's in my PCIe slots (I'm trying to find data for my HBA card, specifically.) Problem is that I'm not finding anything for this, specifically. Everything I've found is giving me data on the Eth ports or wlan ports. *Not* what I need ...

Re: Sound not working over HDMI in Fossapup
I *did*, which is why everything *but* Firefox is giving me sound just fine. I figured out (a/the?) solution, though. Starting it up through the console with 'apulse' appended as a suffix makes it load with sound, now I just need to figure out how to make it do it when I start it up.

Well, found one that gives me *something*, at least. I'm now getting sound from Discord, but not from Pale Moon or Firefox. And the sound is quiet and I can't adjust it. Sound still shows at 65295%. So, minor improvement so far. Edit/update: I'm also getting sound from the one game I downloaded to ...

Re: Steam missing files
So, I uninstalled both of them. Saved. reboot. Reinstalled through Puppy Package Manager. Then it asked me to install a 32-bit compatibility set from "useful things" in the quickpet. Did this. Now it's doing the first time update. I shall advise once that finishes.

Re: Cell plugged in via USB causing annoyance.
It ended up being right on the notification drop down, after I deleted all of my backlogged notifications. -.-" Which means I was trying to look too deep in to the system to find it. But that's my own fault for hating smartphones so much.

Okay, okay, no. I have, for some gods awful reason, both the steam version and the fossa-steam version. And they're giving me two completely different missing file sets.

Re: Cell plugged in via USB causing annoyance.
Just as a further note, I did, in fact, find the location to change USB behavior. I set it to Charge Only, and it's doing exactly the same thing. So updating the pupautodetect file is, in fact, exactly the solution I needed.

Re: Cell plugged in via USB causing annoyance.
When I plug cell phone in to charge it, it pops up several windows. If the usb port is not working properly, because of a bad connection (from maybe a loose connection of the usb jack to the motherboard) it can behave as if you are unplugging and plugging in the usb cable repeatedly. I found it ...

Cell plugged in via USB causing annoyance.
So, when I plug my cell phone in to my tower while I'm in fossapup, the bloody OS keeps "probing cameras", and then tells me "no cameras found." It wouldn't be nearly as bad if it just did it *once*, but it keeps doing it. Why is it doing this, and how the heck do I make it stop?
