I have tried with a 512 MB save file and the results are the same.

Does anyone have any other suggestions? I may have to forego the package this time around.

Looks good, WhoDo. I have it going in 2.17-1, full normal hdd install.

Is there any convenient way to place freememapplet on the taskbar?

Yep. Edit the startup file from the quicklaunch menu and uncomment the line pointing to "freememapplet-tray" which is located in /root/my-applications.

Petget bad space calculation

#24 Post by BlackAdder »

See this topic. The hack works for me, maybe I should try to create a more elegant solution some time.

Question to the cognoscenti: is not the subdir /tmp in fact a ramdisk, and, since so, would it not solve moebigsley's problem to simply copy the EZpup .pet to /tmp and unpack it from there--especially if he has a swap partition?

***EDITED it turns out that, as of 2.17-1, /tmp is *not* a ramdisk, so this wouldn't work.

This may change in a future version of Puppy...

Yep, mine does that now too. Don't know why because the settings haven't been changed. I have resorted to replacing

Code: Select all

-bg ""
with

Code: Select all

-bg "#389389" 
in the preferences file at /root/.icewm/preferences[/quote]

I've been workin with this for a while now and cannot find an entry for -bg in /root/.icewm/preferences file. Any other possibilities for changing the background color of blinky to match the taskbar?

aïïïïï i wanted to try to change my cursor, result: my desktop has disappear! only the tray is left, and i can't get my desktop back !!
(not a big problem for me, i remastered Puppy not long ago, i'll just delete my current pupsave)

anyway i'd like to mention something: i'm scared at how people use graphical items from Windows(R); show some respect ! :)

surprise to see blinky INSIDE the tray!! :D :D that is step 1 of 3; let's hope in the next version we can have freememapplet and mini-volume !
cheers

EDIT: thank you Wolf Pup for your tip for fixing the desktop, i didn't read this thread entirely.
freememapplet appears now in my tray after i uncommented the 2 lines in the startup file...
now what to do for having mini-volume in the tray too?

i'm experiencing another bug after installing EZPup: the little curved white arrow at the right-top corner of icons, that shows that it's a symlink, doesn't appear, instead there is an ugly red cross...

This looks like a case of deja vu all over again! :wink:

Instructions for what you want are on the EZpup Help page of the wiki.

Cheers WhoDo, i may be blind but i don't see nothing about mini-volume in the tray on the EZpup Help page.

"pvolume-mixer" opening Puppy mixer is a different thing, i'm better off with Start/Multimedia/Puppy sound mixer

so, is this jamais vu? :wink:

EDIT:
EZpup works now by adding

Code: Select all

rox -p=/root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin
to /usr/sbin/delayedrun
for me it works but a little bit too late: i get an error saying no pinboard was in use, that the default has been set, and after that my desktop loads with your line

so where to put it 'earlier' in the startup process?

exit to the command line (ctrl+alt+backspace)
then type xwin starticewm and hit enter

that should start icewm correctly but maybe you already know that

you can also start icewm without the extra stuff by typing xwin icewm

Ezpup 2.1.7R2

#38 Post by cylock »

I downloaded ezpup and it seems to work great.Kudos to the writer.

My question is when it installed it said it was missing libxmms.so.0 and
libesd.so.0

Have downloaded them both and now need to know where to put them.?

starticewm is actually this:

Code: Select all

. /root/.icewm/startup
exec icewm
and i wrote the same in .xinitrc, except i put the 2nd line first :) so i have the solution; thank you !

These libraries are flagged as dependencies by PETget, but are NOT required unless you want to run wmxmms and icesound respectively. They can be safely ignored.

See EZpup Help page on the wiki where this was detailed.

Hope that helps.
