Thank you for another detailed explanation about the differences in jwm config files. In fact, you've helped me see why I often had to copy over a working .jwmrc file after a new app installation corrupted the menu into something half-default, half-customized. Yes, getting this cranky machine into t...

Hi, musher0, Thank you very much for taking time to write a very instructive post. You saved me a lot of work--I would've thought that my antiquated version of jwm was the problem, not the CLI aspects of Links -g, and I would've gone down a rabbit hole. It had been a while since I played with this a...

Many thanks for your quick, informative replies. @Semme: appreciate the link. The link's alternative to maximus seems to assume that I'm running gnome, or at least metacity. And Puppy 4.31 is jwm. I think I'm stuck. @musher0: I went into .jwmrc and was able to make SOME apps start without title bar....

Maximus Pet?
Puppy 4.31/Sony Vaio PCG-C1VN
Was there ever a maximus pet available (that nifty Ubuntu app that started programs without their titlebars)? I searched, but didn't find one.
Any help would much appreciated,
Jake

Having run a variety of Linuxes on the C720, I found the issues were more software than hardware-related. The kernel can be tricky with regard to suspend, touchpad, etc. But the 2GB limit has not been a problem for me. Then again, I don't game--even so, I can't see much fun gaming on a netbook, rega...

As much as I would've love to run a puppy on my Acer C720, I ended up going with Bodhi 2.4. My warranty expired last month, and I installed, and donated to, John Lewis' custom BIOS, which blows away the ChromeOS completely, and boot to Bodhi, or whatever your Linux flavor, in record time. Such a ven...

HTC Shift X9500 Touchscreen/Lupu 528 Issues
Hello, All, Lupu 528 is one of the few puppy distros that gives OOTB proper screen resolution (800x480, vesa) and an uncalibrated touchscreen for a HTC Shift X9500 umpc. Lupu 528 comes with already-modprobed module htcpen. Upon boot, I have touch capability but no calibration. Lupu 528 also doesn't ...

4.32/Sony Vaio PCG-C1VN Suspend Issue
Despite only having 116mb RAM, this Sony Picturebook does well with 4.32. Modprobing sony_laptop allows for screen brightness and other fn keys and the use of the jogdial (the scroller dial on the right side of the machine). The only rub is that after a return from suspend, the jogdialer fails--upon...

I do believe that the command itself establishes the file--so before using the command in console, it would make sense that you couldn't find the file. And do look at tlp--perhaps there's a pet already made, or you could do the deb-to-pet conversion. B/c I know there's a .deb version of tlp. And tlp...
