Wow,

Thanks a lot for packaging the ndiswrapper. Now I can use your pupplet more often as I can get on the net using it.

You said that arrow keys doesn't work at all? it happens any time or only with certain apps? Please tell me more.

i noticed that arrows stop to work when i add ru keymap
also i still do not understand why russian keymap disappears after exit from X and why ru_winkeys( the most popular keymap) is not listed in add keymap dialog

pcmanfm is very useful with it's tabs

i also tryed to boot on EEE PC( wifi is recognized but tuochpad do not work properly)

is it possible to include russian UTF-8 locale into iso ?

@MU: I installed NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.07-pkg1.run (it can't be easily compiled, you must edit the source code) and got the same error on Xorg:

Excellent MU, I'll link them to the first post ASAP (BTW I'm writing this from your Opera sfs on my usb flash drive)
Something else, I edited /usr/sbin/filemnt to work with the current FileManager (example, if you're running konqueror filemnt will open the mounted folder with konqueror)

Thank you

I see.
I will have a closer look when I am offline visiting my mother:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=36802

I could use a renamed filemnt for Muppyfiler then.
There also might be further small glitches.
E.g. in Muppy, I ran KDE from a script.
When you logged out KDE, a small utility was run, allowing to reboot or other options.

These are some tools I could not quickly port yet, so I will do that while I'm offline Smile

Wish you all the best, please note, that from friday on, I cannot mirror files until I'm back.
But you could post the ftp access data if you need temporary space, so people can download via ftp directly from the incoming folder where you usually upload. But at moment it will be better to use filefront instead.

I modified your filemnt script, now it works with pcmanfm:

I updated 2 of my SFS.

Python252+gdesklets_411.sfs
- The libxml for python was not added correctly

MuppyFiler+Quickmount+Freemem+xscreensize+gqview +backgrounds+sfscombiner+clocks+pbdict2_411.sfs
- it now adds 3 desktop icons:
--- a "System" folder with all the symlinks wow posted here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=258053#258053
Shown in pcmanfm, this looks a bit like the Windows Control Center Wink

--- an icon to reload lxde, from wows posting here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=257197#257197
--- an icon to manage the desktop icons.
This will launch Muppyfiler with the 2 required folders opened, displaying a short text, that you can copy a .desktop file to add it to the desktop.

MU tried your new xara but . . .

MU · Posted: Thu 18 Dec 2008, 12:45 Post subject:

ok Lobster, I updated the xara sfs.
This was a bit tricky.
Xara requires some older Gtk libraries.
I added them in a folder /usr/local/Gtk-2.12.9.
To avoid conflicts with other programs, they are usually not used.
Only /usr/bin/xaralx will use them.
These old libraries cannot handle the new rgba option in the Murrina themes (that make the menubar transparent).

So I added the same themes without the rgba option, they are called like this: Murrina-Black-norgba.
The xaralx startscript will automatically use these ones, if one of wows rgba themes is active.
Like this I now can start Xara from the menu, open a drawing, and export it as jpg.

Please let me know, if you find other issues.

updated:
MuppyFiler+Quickmount+Freemem+xscreensize+gqview +backgrounds+sfscombiner+clocks+pbdict2_411.sfs

Changes:
- MuppyFiler now uses pcmanfm (if available) to open files if you doubleclick them. So the freedesktop.org mimetypes are used, not the one from Rox.
- Added my MIME-Editor. With this program you can modify or add mimetypes.

Example: you load the KDE sfs.
Now run the MIME-Editor, and click on "save changes".
This will update the mime-database.
Now you can open for example JPGs with a rightclick in pcmanfm using one of the KDE image programs.
Before the update, the KDE programs are not listed there.
If you right click a file in pcmanfm, and set the default application in the properties, then also Muppyfiler uses this default.

Or you have a file test.abc.
As files with the suffix .abc have no existing mimetype, you can use the MIME-Editor to create a new one like application/abc.
This then can be associated to a program you have to watch .abc files.

The MIME-Editor also includes a small dialog to create new ".desktop" files.
So you could create new ones if required.

I also plan to write a seperate utility to create .desktop files, that loads quicker.
So for example you have a textfile or script, that you want to add to your desktop.
In Rox, you could drag'n'drop it from a filerwindow.
With lxde, this does not work, as it needs a .desktop file in /root/Desktop/.
So we could need a utility, where you can drag files on, that then creates the new required .desktop file there (with the option to edit it).
Rox is more flexible or intuitive in this concern, as the desktop feature in lxde is pretty new.

International support:

Load this SFS file with "bootmanager", reboot and use the "chooselocale" command to switch to your language.

BUG: XKB Configuration Manager(xkbconfigmanager) can't successfully set the keyboard layout.

Workaround (Only for Xorg)
Use "setxkbmap" from command line, add this line to the end of your "/root/.xinitrc" file, just before "#exec $CURRENTWM" (around line 172), example for russian:
