Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

When we moved from fvwm95 to JWM, it took several releases of Puppy to integrate JWM and make it stable enough to use effectively. Many of us immediately installed the earlier tested, tried and integrated fvwm95.

There are changes that are going in 4.2.
Knowing what is in 4.2 and what Warren is providing. It is quite legitimate to start a thread for 4.3

Is there any help you need from me or others Warren, for 4.2?

About Insert+Seamonkey: first off, it affects Firefox too. It is either a Mozilla-in-general issue or a GTK issue, not a specifically-Seamonkey one.

Second, I believe I have "fixed" it (for our purposes anyway), but I have yet to get any kind of confirmation from anybody if the recompiled GTK I posted worked for everybody else, or if it had side effects. So far it has been running fine for ME, but that's all I know at this point. I assume that the lack of feedback means it has been working?

(For those not aware, I simply recompiled it with the --enable-debug option, and I threw in --enable-xinput while I was in there, since tablets need it for pressure sensitivity).

WhoDo,
What do you think about using subversion to publish your changes. Sidestepping the issue of who has write access, it would be helpful even if everyone else was read only. It would make it easier to test individual fixes as they were made without having to wait for you to release an iso.

More on my thought about deleting wxbasicscript from the iso- if the only app that uses it is the dotpuphandler, which is a .pet in the official repository, then there is no reason that wxbasicscript can't be another, with a note by dotpuphandler that it needs wxbasicscript.pet

I know I am new here having only posted one time before (been lurking forever) but if it were me in the chefs hat. I would focus on using the 4.x series to truely define what puppy is all about by breaking its core innovations like multisession compatability into a rock solid minimal distro with as much flexability and compatability with other distro package management as well as pup / pet and build routines as possible per byte and try to add serious innovation to that. Ending the squabling about which browser or windows manager to use and allowing the user base here to build from that which is what they are going to do anyway and what keeps us all coming back. I would also seriously consder giving back to the open source community a package called puppy that could add these features to the distro of their choice. No doubt resulting in an even stronger and more dedicated user base to build the pups of tomorrow.

LOL just my .02$ but really wishing it was available at this moment for a project I am working on and will probabbly end up building here from source before it is all through because it dosnt exist at this point...

I guess my real question is why? Puppy is awesome why force bloat let the user add what they need, that is what really makes linux in general special right?

HairyWill:
Sending a file to trash causes the attached dialog to appear.

It would be nice to have a utility that allows you to easily modify some of the (default) handlers. For example changing video files from opening in gxine to opening in mplayer or vlc.
