Not that I think it is related but since converting from chromebook I have had one issue across all versions of linux tried. Running any browser, the CPU will go to 100% and the whole system will lock up. Some times it is right away and sometimes it will run for a while. I believe that model ...

Just double checking something against a similar issue I had on some models of chromebook - the touchpad would ALSO stop working under ChromeOS sometimes. Turns out the problem was hardware, not software. Either replacing the touchpad cable OR just removing it and cleaning both ends of the cable AND ...

@clm1919 Ventoy is a great tool and I use it often, not only for many Pups, but also for other Linux distros like MX and PrimeOS. Additionally, mine contains major system tools like Hiren BootCD, Rescuezilla and Memtest86. Forum member @Clarity is our resident Ventoy champion and has done much to ...

Another Chromebook added to the pack: Acer Chromebook Spin 512 Touch 4GB/32GB - R851TN-C3ET) this is a Gemini/N4120 /Sparky360 Board RW_Legacy - Board is still supported by MrChromebox script at time of writing. The Good News: Almost everything works out of the box (OtB) :D Bad - except touchscreen ...

I've only done a little testing w/ the zoom app under linux (both puppy and Debian 12) and one problem I keep running into is the share-screen window going "solid black" when attempting to annotate - This only happens on the annotator's screen, the annotations go through normally to other ...

So i was reading up on the different ways to install apps on Puppy linux And i was wondering if there are advantages (or dis-advantages) to three of the options to add applications besides those stated in the description. Installed - usually a .pet or .deb file, click them and they will install on ...

mikewalsh Enjoyed the video, very informative - binged a few more of your vids during "coffee+oatmeal" time. :D Does it HAVE to be Zoom? Sadly it's what my relatives and my job use. I've used other things but at least attempting to get Zoom to work would be simpler than "herding the cats" away from ...

Sadly the MacMini went belly up - I might try to salvage the optical drive and I apologize to any who showed interest, but this project is on indefinite hold.

bigpup I truly appreciate the help and guidance in this project. I decided I needed to take some time to "try other things" after a few fallbacks.. -the SD card reader on PITA just doesn't really work - lots of errors because it just "stops" - PITA seems to "forget" that a card is inserted ...

bigpup mikeslr I decided I needed to take some time to "try other things" - and then I saw this auction on ebay..... Bought an "as is - no refunds, no returns" small lot of 4 school surplus chromebooks- missing keys, bad keyboards, cracked/scrathed screens.... ...but with confirmed firmware and ...

clm1919

bigpup I'm pretty sure i followed your directions properly - and i didn't see any changes. It's late and I will go everything again in the morning. WeirdTreeThing made this comment on github a while back: Using kernel 6.6 or newer is the preferred solution, since that's when my patch landed that ...

clm1919

bigpup I am not sure why, you have to take SD cards, in and out, to get stuff done using them. Me neither - I suspect PITA just hates me :-P YogaPuppy works just fine from the SD card. but the ApolloLake entry on the chromebook compatibility pages all mention issues with sound and the sd card ...

bigpup *heart* - thanks for that post (above)!! :thumbup2: I will definetly take a peek at this Wednesday. I'll be gone almost all of tomorrow and I was booked solid today. ********************************* *side note* - now that i have two "smart monitors" I decided to attempt to install Debian12 ...

Not sure if this is the right place to put this (I seem to start posts this way a lot) Since I have decided to put the "get sound working on PITA" project on hold - i decided to wipe PITA and do a fresh Debian 12 /LXDE install. I thought about recording the steps and all that, but this is the Puppy ...

How much RAM (memory) does it have? My parents gave me the machine early 2023 - I bought a 2x2 gig kit for it but the machine only sees 2gb - and the HDA reported errors - so it went back on the shelf for 18 months. Now that I'm motivated (again) to try to do something with it I'm trying to find ...

wizard files were too big to attach. So i just downloaded Gimp on my non-chromebook linux laptop and "got to work" Puppy, just use mtPaint: -Image>Scale Canvas heh, yeah, that's what i ended up doing. I was trying to remove color data and set the png greyscale to 8 bit - and a few other "tricks" i ...

******warning - Rambling story below updated pics*********** ------------------------- I was a little disatisfied with the quality of images i sent to myself via google voice from the smarphone. So here are some (slightly) higher quality versions - why greyscale? because it's cool. 8-) Smile Cheese ...

I will definitely check this out later today. Thanks wizard Just a small warning RE the Yoga 11e G3 and any other models that have fulll sized SD card that sticks out a bit - or a "spring" in their full scale SD port. If you stand it up portrait/selfie-wise make sure the side with the SD card is on ...

bigpup In all honesty - it makes me feel a tiny bit better. I was out of ideas a LONG time ago - I had "banged so many rocks" that i broke the system a few times and had to reinstall a few times before i came here. I was pretty sure it was a Kernel thing (which is beyond me). PITA works under ...

I may have made another mistake somewhere - but things now look like "two steps back"

nothing in the "Hardware output Devices" either

...I'm so feeling this with PITA right now....and myself. Sorry for wasting your time with a typo.

The file you made is named inteldsp.comf it needs to be inteldsp.conf (with an n not an m)

three classes in accounting
1 in pascal
1 in modula2
2 in C++

what did i learn - typo's are a bi*ch...and i'm not cut out to be a coder or accountant.

rebooting now

clm1919

bigpup So you did what I posted and are sure you did it correctly? I am not trying to be hard on you. trust me my friend, you are NOT being hard on me ;) I have mild dyslexia - I usually assume, if it required typing terminal commands out - or manually entering a long http link, if it didn't work ...

I asked the amazing Mr. @wizard about getting the yoga screen to rotate so i could use it in "tent mode"

Code: Select all

xrandr -o inverted

to turn 180 degrees

Code: Select all

xrandr -o normal

return to normal mode.

I added them to my LinuxCheatSheet.txt file

Thanks Wizard!

I think there are more HDMI options than there were before - but i'm not 100% sure.

no other change i could see.

In alsamixer turn all of those down in level, but I think more is needed. If you click on F6 (:select sound card) is anything listed other than Pro Audio stuff? I had closed alsamixer - so i did the 2nd part of your post...1st :-) I turned all levels down to 50 (just green) When i hit F6/screen-dim ...

I don't recall updating the firmware (specifically), and i didn't run "the script" on this install. But I do run apt update / apt upgrade semi ritually on all my Linux installs.

@bigpup - would it be worth comparing with my Yoga_Puppy's configuration?

Thanks for that advice - I did download the firmware file as a backup. But caveman me follow directions - not know how magic word "curl" works. - Simpler to just do wut caveman do b4. :D In all seriousness - thanks again. I agree, the site https://chromebook.bitejia.tech isn't very responsive (but ...
