Try reducing your inline_limit to “5“ in puppy-utility.menu.

Of course you have to do a fixmenus in terminal after the change is made and then restart jwm.

Yes, that got it cooking with Window 7 on my son’s machine. I was just using the shares program before. It only needed the share name (Downloads).

Thank You for the new pet, it worked .

Report

As a bread and butter user, I find Fatdog to be very good, it has the applications I use from the get go. The one minor fault I have is that the installed Samba will not connect to Windows 7, but XP and Linux do just fine. I don’t use Windows 7 much anyway. I like having Qt configuration working, so...

This is from jwm configuration.

TaskList
Add a task list to the tray. This tag supports the following attribute:
maxwidth
The maximum width of an item in the task list. 0 indicates no maximum. The default is 0.

Just go to /root/.jwmrc-tray, it’s hidden so hit the eye in toolbar of ROX Filer. With a text editor change to this. Changing to a 0 as shown.

Code: Select all

This is happening even when the configuration files are correct for the xdg menu manager, these control the main menu layout. We have found one soluti...

Stop xwin

To start without xwin, I just remark it out in /etc/profile at the bottom. #want to go straight into X on bootup only... if [ ! -f /tmp/bootcnt.txt ];then touch /tmp/bootcnt.txt # aplay -N /usr/share/audio/bark.au dmesg > /tmp/bootkernel.log #exec xwin #Just add the # here fi fi Kal
