Why not add desksetup to save/retrieve desktop icons?
I copied the one from latest slacko, seems to work.

Hi, Debernardis. Static IP needs boot code additions. Here is information what exactly has to be set in your kernel boot line and example for manually setting up static IP, Netmask, Gateway and DNS. The manually changes can be put in script started from /root/Startup after boot: http://murga-linux....

Hello, I like the idea of a puppified debian and tried it, but network connectivity was a showstopper for me immediately. No way I could make frisbee setup a static IP connection (I'm using the ethernet lan at work, and I have no problem with that using Frisbee in Slacko). It kept telling my IP was ...

added evince (PET) and set that as the default program for PDF files (that does support Ctrl-F ok and Hello, is there a set of pet packages to install evince in latest slacko? I have found several evince packages and tried to install evince-2.32.0-i486.pet then libpoppler-0.22.5-32-d-i386-20130909....

I have had some problems with go-mtpfs cutting the connection to my device (Samsung Galaxy Note 2) after a few seconds. When working in CLI, I noted that adding the -usb-timeout=[put here a healty bunch of millisecs like 100000] the problem disappeared. So I renamed the go-mtpfs binary to go-mtpfs2,...

EDIT: don't want to get you in a hurry, but, where do I get kernel source (and possibly headers?) pet? Need them for virtualbox Headers in devx. Source SFS in http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet_packages-slacko14/ and mirrors (as the first post says :wink: ) Thank you very much. I needed that ...

Hello all, in order to upgrade, I copied on my Slacko 5.6 usb stick (which is my main driver at work :) ) the following files from the extracted 5.7 image: initrd.gz vmlinux puppy_slacko_5.7.0.sfs Am I right? Everything seems to work so far. Thank you very much for everything! EDIT: don't want to ge...

Anybody could please republish the SFS file? The link is dead.
Thanks

I am using google cloud print in slacko by applying the procedure shown in http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/ans ... rint_linux

Took python and pycups from repos, and git from devx_slacko.

Works.

I didn't expect it but both printer and scanner do work. Tested in Slacko and Precise Puppy 5.4. Contrarily to what advised elsewhere in these forums, I installed the Samsung Linux Unified Driver. I'm sorry I am unable to determine which version, it's one that was sitting in the home of my ubuntu in...

Hello, and thanks for all this Slacko

Bug report: I can't set proxy in Internet Connection Wizard / Setup a Proxy Server.
I think that /etc/profile.d/http_proxy and /etc/profile.d/ftp_proxy don't get executed at boot time.

Did you manage selling some? I'd be proud of that

Hello puppians, I am here mainly to apologize for not having maintained rudypuppy, and for not having replied to some of your posts in the last 5-6 months. This happens because I have no more spare time after caring for my daughter, who is now a toddler running everywhere, after my work, and because...

Eheheh yes I did with no collateral damage. That utility comes from a time I was much more paranoid at work now after my last brain surgery I am a lot quieter

When K3b_including....pet was installed, a normal pop up windows open and a message indicating that a lot of dependencies libraries are missing. nevertheless, the k3b software opens and works normaly. It is a fault of something ? It is normal ? Should be worry ? I don't think there's anything to wo...

I must admit I am a disaster at making dotpets. In particular, I have been unable to make it get dependencies automatically. So, before you install, go get: 1) qt-3.3.6 2) cdrdao from the puppy package manager. If you want to make audio cd's from your mp3's, install also: http://puppyfiles.org/dotpu...

@pdrito: I am definitely going to do that, even though I am not sure it is going to be a .pet because I am not proficient yet in the art of pet making 8) It's going to be a .tar.gz archive, most likely, directly extracted from the work of Billcnz which is the original author of a nice opera-k3b pupl...

:) @veronicathecow: hello :D I don't think I am going to work on 2.15 which, being a community edition, has the "right" to stay "as is", as a collaborative effort, maybe as a photo shot of what is felt to be needed, at present, for an all-purpose minidistro by its most active dev...
