Aitch recommended me consulting this thread about an idea for improvement of the jwm menu. Somebody able to do this?

Finally somebody replied! :-) I've tried launchy for windows. Quite useful, but I prefer simplicity. In my mind (though it's not a programer's mind) it seems quite simple to adjust the jwm-menu with these two improvements: - fill the whole screen with menu items - make it possible to navigate the it...

Would be great to know!

Network wizard I connect to internet through a 3G wireless GPRS usb-modem. I haven't succeeded doing this through the "Connect by wireless GPRS modem" choice in the 'connect'-setup. When I open 'Network wizard' (Menu -> Setup), the GPRS modem is not listed. rc.local I have read about this...

thank you, gposil, your script worked! Only thing is that the script finished only step 5. That is, I had to manually select 'Connect to internet'. Is it possible to include that in the script?

By the way: Oekems, the script guide seems good!

Hi! Been using puppy now and then for 3-4 years. Love it, though I hardly know any hardcore linux (Unix). I'm interested though, and wan't to learn. Problem: I have 3G-modem internet connection. Every time I start my PC I have to: 1. Open 'console' 2. Type "modprobe option" 3. Type "e...

@Patriot Thank you very much, Patriot, for having improved JWM! Having keyboard shortcut to showdesktop and including minimized windows when toggling is great! This should be included in future Puppy releases. If you are still working on improving JWM, I have some suggestions: 1. possibility to chan...

I have an idea for a better menu in JWM. Don't know if it is possible, but I would like someone else to comment on this concept. Background: In Puppy you can either use the mouse and click on "Menu" in the lower left corner (or push F12). This opens a small menu with submenus down in the l...

Sliding my finger along the bottom of the touchpad makes web pages go back and forward. Is it possible to disable this? My touchpad is rather sensitive...

I'm going to use an old PC with a large harddisk as a jukebox PC. I would like a small OS which can visualize my music collection (mp3s) as a music library and play smoothly with a intutive interface. Can anyone suggest a suitable puppy derivate for this? Using Gxine and/or Pmusic doesn't seem to fu...

Dougal wrote You mean like "show desktop"? Yes, but I prefer using the keyboard. And "showdesktop" doesn't maximize the windows you have minimized manually. I would like a "maximize all" function. If you call it "show desktop" or "maximize all" - do...

First of all: Thank you very much for your effort in improving JWM! And keep it simple and small :-) I have two suggestions for improvements: 1. Ever since starting to use Puppy Linux I have been annoyed that alt+tab doesn't include the applications which are minmized (icewm and every other window m...

Found a way of renaming all jpg files in a folder: This line in the console renames all jpg files to this format YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.jpg exiv2 rename *.jpg Someone with scripting knowledge (I am not one of those) will possibly know how to add this line to the "import-line" in such a way that t...

Great, that line reveals the exif date and time when written in the console. But how can I implement this to make an automated script which sorts my photos into separate folders depending on the EXIF date? I reckon this challenge is too big for a newbie like me. But a simpler task could possibly be ...

Been trying some my self. I succeeded in making a one-click script which downloads/imports/copies my pictures from the camera to a folder on my PC. I belive this is basic stuff for many of the users of this forum, but maybe some other newbies like me would like to see what I did? What I haven't succ...

I have one digital camara and two mobile phones with which I often snap a photo. I would like a program which could auto download my photos when I plug my camera or phone to my PC through USB. I organize my photos in folders named by the date the photo was taken, e.g. 2009-01-21 (= January 21st year...

Works on my dell xps m1330 aswell, but I had difficulties with the soundcard. No I have sound output, but no input. And I have not succeeded using my webcam. I would also appreciate if someone who has managed to fix these things would share their solutions.

Default applications are organized in this folder:
/usr/local/bin

Right-click on "defaultbrowser" and select "Open as text". Replace seamonkey/mozilla with firefox. Save. All done.

Pmusic is great! Shouldn't it be made default music player application? In my puppy, i've set run action to "defaultaudioplayer" and added a "defaultaudioplayer (exec:pmusic)" in /usr/local/bin. Is it possible to make pmusic add files at the end of the playinglist when I click on...

EditionLocus, are you sure you dowloaded the rignt driver from Dell? In my case, only one of the oldest drivers worked with linux - the one I had preinstalled with XP, not one of the driver-updates. It was very difficult to find the right driver on dell.com. Perhaps you already have read my "gu...
