Hi. I've rarely seen anything more stupid than the information in newer Puppy systems presented in the so-called Splash Messages. Who is the guy, that has "invented" splash messages for the users to be presented in white colored text on yellow or gray colored backgrounds? Shoot him! Or eve...

Tested in Precise 5.6.

Successfully converted a .mp3 to .wav.

Did not install it. Just extracted it and executed it from its extraction directory.

Cool.

Maybe this is of any interest for you.

Check if this works.

It's again a fake.gz - make executable after removing the fake .gz (right-click it)

Can you execute fixmenus again and post terminal output here?

Did you run fixmenus in the terminal?

Maybe this is needed.

Otherwise I'm out of ideas.

Looks like you are missing the template file /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.icewm_menu # Icewm menu for Puppy # For Puppy 1.0.6 GuestToo, 2005, updated for latest Puppy by BK # BK: XDG version, Puppy 2.14. icewm-xdgmenu create by rarsa. # /usr/sbin/fixmenus script converts this to /root/.icewm/menu menu ...

Yes!

Why installing .deb packages by a terminal command like: dpkg -i *.deb?

Since Precise Puppy is based on Ubuntu Precise, .deb packages should install just by left-clicking a .deb package - like .pet files does.

Hi. How secure is Puppy? From my experience of the appr. last three years, Puppy Linux is secure, if one does follow some rules: - don't use a save file - don't download/open files/mails etc. that you don't trust - don't store personal data to the cloud - don't save any personal data on the computer...

Use of xev was described in this post near the end of the thread I mentioned. :) Yes, thanks for the links. As I saw your first post and clicked the link, I just remembered where I got the script from. So I just decided to sent a PM to Puppus Dogfellow instead of reading 3 pages of the thread - whi...

Ok.

Found it and solved.

Running xev will return the code needed. have used this much earlier, but could not remember xev using.

Thanks to Puppus Dogfellow (PM), so: solved.

RSH

Hi. I have a small Script, that is echoing a code, when I'm pressing a key. It uses the following function: KEYBOARD="/dev/input/event0" checkkey() { dd if="$KEYBOARD" bs=16 count=1 2>/dev/null | hexdump | cut -f8 -d ' ' | head -1 } To call it I do use: KEY=$(checkkey) And it ret...

Hi, zigbert. RSH In your investigation, have you learned how to refresh pup_event (drive icons on desktop) without restarting X? I am interested :) Thanks Sigmund Yes, partially. Currently this is just a dirty hack and the default puppy icons on the desktop (like write, text, connect etc.) are getti...
