can you attach a screenshot, please?zgp152 wrote:With Muppy 0084.s, in low right corner, overlapping the digital clock, there is a white box, 1/3 the height of the digit. It is not a great problem. I added 6 spaces to panel definition. As a result the clock moved left.
The box is loaded after the wallpaper but before the icons.
I wonder whether it is a small error somewhere.

It seems, that gsview is no longer supported.Dingo wrote:in Puppy 3.01 I was able to use gsview
http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/index.htm
via package manager
it comes with 8.15 ghostscript version. now, Muppy has 8.62 ghostscript version and old gsview available from package manager don't seems work
tried Gslap, but it seems not have gsview. possible?
After a closer look at /etc/rcd/rc.shutdown, I think, I this is related to KDE, and maybe other addon programs.recycler wrote:I've been really excited to try Muppy out. When it works it is going to be a great operating system. Till then I'm moving back to Puppy 4.1 which has been perfectly stable, and performs really well. A shame since I would like to continue using Muppy. But too many problems like having to reinstall thunderbird each time I want to check my email and the previously mentioned problems with the X display. I stopped using it on this machine since it takes a long time to unmount the swap file..
Looking forward to the next release

Can you exit X with CTRL-ALT-Backspace?recycler wrote:Hi Mark, Puppy live has been running on a machine here since it was released. Really enjoying the look and responsiveness of it but having a problem that 3 times now (in the last couple of weeks) it will fail to load at the stage of starting up X. Instead of a desktop we have a small white square in the middle of the screen. Turning the computer off and trying again sometimes works.
The low right corner copied for you perusal.MU wrote:can you attach a screenshot, please?zgp152 wrote:With Muppy 0084.s, in low right corner, overlapping the digital clock, there is a white box, 1/3 the height of the digit.

I have selected the only option that contains 2 visible panels and one hidden (you know the names, I am not now in Muppy know to check them). The bottom panel was changed to transparent but I think the square has always covered the clock display, with any bar color.MU wrote:zgp,
that is the window of the autocutselect utility, that adds cut&paste to the desktop.
It requires a "hidden" window.
What desktop environment is running there?
Ususally it should be covered by the taskbar.

i want to use digikam within muppy, as i do it with kubuntu. i would prefer muppy in the future. it's a smaller os.
the installation via gslapt went well, but digikam won't start and i will get this message in a xterm:
digikam: error while loading shared libraries: libkdcraw.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
If you want try this packages, Its based on slackware 12.0, I didn't compile it because I'm using 4.0.1 at the moment.
If It doesn't work, just uninstall it

Hi Mark, I don't want to bother you with the contents of my Dell machine's Xorg log.....thanks for the offer but it is obviously a rogue machine and I will use Muppy on other machinesCan you exit X with CTRL-ALT-Backspace?
Then you could backup the log (before starting X again):
cp -ax /var/log/Xorg.0.log /root/
sync
Then you might attach /root/Xorg.0.log here.
Beside potential errors, it also includes detailed info about your graphics card, that could give me some hints.

OK. I haven't gone through the 20 pages (and 296 posts) that make up this thread. But the link in the first post doesn't work. It only leads to Muppy 008.3f-EN Kernel 2.6.21.7. (A fine release... I'm very impressed. I wanted to see if 008.4x would excel this version.)
I've begun distributing Puppy Linux to hapless Windows XP users whose systems have gotten so flaky they feel like tossing their PCs into the rubbish tip. I give them Puppy Linux as a "temporary solution" until they're ready to have their hard drives wiped and a fresh copy of XP installed.
Since their office suites are genrally pirated and they don't have the replacement setup discs, Puppy makes a nice, free alternative. And MUppy has certainly stood out to me. So. I could read all 400 posts in this 20 page thread. But a link to the most recent release would be a relief.
I'll eventually make my way through all the posts. But I'm kinda hoping to get downloading while I'm reading.
tonight I will upload Muppy-Live-008.4c-EN.iso, meanwhile, you can try to downloading via bittorrentBobSongs wrote:Would someone kindly post a link to the latest Muppy release (it is 008.4x, yes?). Much appreciated.

There were a number of other files (gosh! I'm being greedy, yes?) that the ftp site may have offered. I downloaded a few last night, in particular:
Does anyone know what's happening to this particular distribution of Puppy Linux? Is it dying due to one man carrying it out far longer than he should? Or due to a lack of funds?Excellent. Thanks for the head's up.hayagix wrote:http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=35930
