01micko--Thank you. I had that SFS loaded but I still show qt as a missing dependency. Nonetheless, I was able to get SpiderOak working, so I am happy for now. Next question: I have installed py-qt, but it is quite massive. I have seen several SFS files for it. Which one is recommended for Slacko5.7...

Thanks Mavrothal.However the mystery deepens (for me). I am confused by the options for installing qt. There are several SFS files and pets. What is the preferred one for Slacko 5.7? It is required for several programs I need: Bitmessage, Anki, SpiderOak, and bitcoin-qt. I have the first two working...

Hmm... sometimes I am stumped by simple things. I tried to install qt-4.8.2 from the Slackware 14.0 official repository using p.package mang. After installing it shows that I am missing the dependency: libmysqlclient.so.18

I have searched in vain. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you gentlemen. I had both sfs files and now deleted 5.7 as I do have PAE. ruwoof, I believe the advantage of PAE will show up with programs running large data sets, not large programs themselves. An example would be Bitcoin-qt. Which brings me to my next question. I am thrilled that I have bee...

Greetings all, and thanks to all those who participated in making Slacko 5.7 such a wonderful OS. I have been absent from puppy land for about two years now, but am happy to see that things have been progressing nicely. I have spent much of the last week reacquainting with puppy and think I have mad...

You are welcome Aitch! I sent several emails requesting an invite since first reading your post, and only this past week received a reply. I have no idea what their criteria or schedule is for new invites but they seem to be taking their time so as not to grow too fast. However with that said, now t...

Thanks Aitch! I I have been following Diaspora since you first posted this out of curiosity. I signed up on their mailing list and just last week got an invite. They are currently in alpha and sound ready to go beta very soon. It is quite usable as far as I can see at this point. If you don't alread...

Wow - thanks aitch! I forgot that it was through reading that link that I first learned of Diaspora. I have been following it since then out of curiosity. I signed up on their mailing list and just last week got an invite. They are currently in alpha and sound ready to go beta very soon. It is quite...

I am not a facebook fan, but if you like that sort of thing you should check out Diaspora. It is in alpha at the moment but is quite serviceable. As I understand it is an open source project with a distributed architecture that preserves your privacy and ownership of your data. Let me know what you ...

Just found what may be a bug. I use the Dvorak keyboard set up and used to use the keyboard switcher in the firewall utility in the sys-tray, but understand that that has been removed. My wife needed to use my computer and I used the mouse/keyboard wizard to switch to US international, but it did no...

Your discussion with rerwin gave me the idea that after that we might stress remastering--how each person can create their own personal Lucid, with exactly the programs they want.

Here, Here - I second the motion! Keep up the good work folks, and thanks for everything.

Thanks Playdayz.

Just one more question - can I just instal the .pet or, do I need to uninstall the existing Sylpheed first, also will it retain my acct data. Sorry, I guess that is two questions

Chris

I am loving 5.2.8 and the instant update seems to be working fine. Sylpheed is notifying of an update 3.1.2. Should I do it? Is there a .pet? Thanks folks for all your great work!

Chris

Duh!!! Thanks James C! I don't know how I missed the MD5 sitting in plain sight. Grace & peace - Chris Oh, and for what it is worth, Playdayz - my IBM T43 shows the cpu temp, but still gives the "CPU Fan no fans?" in the widget. If I go to the hardware monitor it does show the fan spee...

Would love to try this puppy out but am hesitant to start a download without an MD5 given my lousy connection. Any chance of posting one with the download link on the front page? (Or any where else for that matter

Thanks!

OK - thanks. If I understand correctly; remove + remaster = gone!

Looks like great work guys! I would just like clarification on one point; Does the tool ( Menu > Setup > Remove built in packages) actually remove packages from the save file or only hide them from the user? If so it would seem to make Woof obsolete (for me at least)! Thanks to all for all the hard ...

Zigbert,

I love this app! I note however that dude replaces Jwm settings. I had followed hairywill's instructions posted elsewhere for having a different wallpaper for each desktop. Is this possible with dude, or might it be included in the future? Just hoping

Grace & peace,

Chris

I really appreciate pwidgets2.3 on 5.10.003. I have also installed extras-2.2.4 and dude 0.4. When I follow the directions at :http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=225938&sid=178c45a1ffb753cbaf3c08726fa77547 I loose my widgets. Is there any way around this? It seems that I should be ...

Yes, I am very happy with 5.10.003. I just need to get the hang of remastering so I can make a striped down version. Sounds like it should be easy - just use the remove built-ins.pet and the remaster tool in puppy control center, but the CD's I produce all go to kernel panic. I just keep plugging al...
