Hi tazoc,
I was playing last night with 442c and kde sfs
When I closed the lid of my laptop the screen saver activated.
I've tried all the passwords I can think of ( blank, password, puppy, linux etc) but with no success.

So could you pass the password please.

cold rebooting did allow me back in.

DC did you also try "woofwoof"? also you could try Ctrl+Alt+Backspace and restarting x, this does work in standard-puppy...

I see I have an extra "Option" line somehow. Wonder why?
Puppies LOVE to dig, don't we? :lol:

A very old Logitech wireless mouse with fresh batteries is auto-sensed and works OK here on LHP4.42d--my xorg.conf section differs from pudgypup's only so:

Code: Select all

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "Mouse0"
	Driver      "mouse"
	Option	    "Protocol" "IMPS/2" #mouse0protocol
	Option	    "Device" "/dev/mouse"
	#Option      "Emulate3Buttons"
	#Option      "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
	Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" #scrollwheel
EndSection

442d

#267 Post by Barburo »

Hi TazOC
I just acquired an older Sony Vaio laptop (1.73 Gh) and I've set up 412 final successfully.
I have also got 442d working but I have these queries re 442:
No wbar in LXDE - can it be started manually?
I switched to KDE (not enough graphics power in this laptop for C-F) and I messed up the task bar quite comprehensively trying to add back widgets I accidentally deleted. Is there a way to reset the KDE taskbar? I can't seem to do it.

Hi Barburo,
No idea why, but wbar only works for me in LXDE if Compiz-Fusion is running. I tried to get it running outside of C-F and no luck. Wbar does work in JWM and IceWM.

To reset KDE's panel and desktop, open Lighthouse LookNFeel (it's in the Settings Menu in KDE), choose option 7 'Reset K Menu etc.' and when it finishes restart X as prompted.

Update1 for Lighthouse Pup 4.4.2 D

#270 Post by tazoc »

Update1 for Lighthouse Pup 4.4.2 D only:

* Corrects crond scheduler not starting. Crond enables automatic blocklist updates for MoBlock. By default the updates run daily at 12 noon, if logged in at that time. Manual updates can always be started from the moblock monitor icon in the system tray. For more on MoBlock, click the 'm' in the systray, then Help/About.

* This update also repairs a couple of symlinks (realplay, audio play) and an invalid .desktop file that generated an error in OpenBox.

I have tried to install RDP from puppypackagemanager and downloaded 8 to 10 files. It appears in the menu but nothing happens when initiated. I have tried the terminal, but do not know enough to understand what all the messages mean. Older versions used to include this program as a standard part of the operating system, but none of the newer puppies seem to have it or be able to install it. This is the only means of accessing my email and files at work.

Is there some information somewhere on how to get this program working.

thanks for any clues.

BHINTZ,
I don't have rdesktop working in Lighthouse Pup, but maybe something in this thread will help:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=31702

[Edit: and http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=323941 ]

It was suggested to run it from a command line. You might try it with official Puppy 4.xx first to keep things simple.

RDP

#273 Post by BHINTZ »

Wonderful suggestion. Ttuuxxx's terminal server works quite well in LHP442d. I only checked email, but the screen looked just right.

thanks for the such a quick and helpful reply.

I will be trying this in other versions as well.

BHINTZ,
Thanks for reporting what works, that may help others and maybe I could include this in a future release. Good job!

booting latest iso results in blankscreen

#275 Post by OTRhound »

hello tazoc,

(and hello community-- I'm strapped for time right now but will be posting to Introduce Yourself thread sometime soon)
I've been trying your derivative over time, and now it's my main choice due to a decent package of stuff but especially the SMP support and apparently the recentness of the kernel which for me means better battery life. (The clockrate-tweaker util included in Barry's latest dev vers proves dangerous for me.. can result in inexplicable sudden poweroffs under some sceneria) (BTW, I was pretty delighted to see the Digital Audio Workstation compile by agitprop666... it was done using the RealTime compile options for music/audio purposes.. any chance of yours using this next release? Just a thought.)

What I want to post about quickly here, as opposed to some kind of full review which I've not time for now, is that you need to debug the video config setup process. Im using the 442beta1 now on my HPcompaq nx9300 .. I appreciated your effort to build-in the nvidia config stuff as opposed to having to later apply .pet or .sfs packages.. my recollection is that it wasnt _thoroughly_ smooth sailing but with a minimal amount of futzing around I got the 173 drivers working great on it.
But I wanted to start fresh with the latest (having got myself confused somewhat with the xdelta stuff after awhile) and grabbed the latest .iso .. I'm going to have to get my video-recording equipment working to get screenshots of some error msgs that blurt out... but in a nutshell, just selecting the nvidia, then 173, eventually brings me to a blank screen (looks like it wants to be X running, but no prompt or graphic characters of any kind).. ctrl-alt-del gets me a reboot but couldnt get ctl-alt-bkspc (tried ctl-shift-bkspc too, forget which it is) .. no joy there...

anyways, I'll hopefully soon get the time to give you a better bug report than this, but just wanted to make you aware of it..

the other huge issue for me and LHP is the inability to paste to terminal windows??!!? Something I absolutely was addicted to on the standard releases.. albeit with the pain-in-the-butt pseudo-middlebutton method of having to click right and left buttons at once, it did work. I've tried the autocutsel .pet and n either glipper nor parcellite are of any help.. have been having to fire up leafpad and write a script with whatevers in the clip buffer, then save and run the script.. (just noticed your addressing this in Release Notes.. but I run JWM not Icewm.. should I switch?)

once again, THANKS for all your efforts!

Most apps display OK but the text gets all messed up in firefox (see image).
If I use the scroll bar to move text off screen and back on it returns OK but as soon as I click on the page I get the fuzziness back. I tried changing font and also updated to the latest version of firefox - no difference. I just set up tkhearts and it displays incorrectly also in the title bar (image2).

Could it be drivers or graphics card or GTK?
I tried several different GTK themes and fonts but same result :(

I switched to seamonkey and the pages that were messed up in firefox display fine.

Maybe this problem has already been solved but I couldn't find it.
Any suggestions? This is the first time I've seen this and it's annoying.
I could switch to seamonkey but I prefer firefox.

try this it worked for me. goto preferences/content/fonts and colors/advanced/set minimum font to 12 /uncheck allow pages to set font

Hello OTRhound and welcome!

Try LXTerminal, it's in the Utilities menu about half-way down. In LXTerminal copy and paste works directly without the need for a clipboard manager.

Feel free to try IceWM or LXDE. LXDE has LXTerminal right in the quick launch bar of the panel.

I don't have a suitable display adapter to test the nVidia 173. The kernel, drivers, Xorg and xorgwizard are from another puplet, Newyearspup with Xorg 7.4. As this configuration differs from Official Puppy, results may vary. Please try other options, such as 'nv' or 'xorgwizard, force vesa' if the 173 drivers do not work.

I'm experimenting with some newer kernels, including the RealTime one you mentioned. I wasn't able to get ATI Catalyst drivers for my hardware to compile in it, though my compiling experience is quite limited.

Thank you for testing Lighthouse Pup and for your feedback,
TazOC

Hi TazOC,

Still enjoying the KDE Desktop. Just for info, Bibletime 2.2.1 is out, source code is at http://sourceforge.net/projects/bibletime/files/, Ubuntu deb files which may work to update your sfs are at https://launchpad.net/~pkgcrosswire/+archive/ppa

How close are you to final on 4.4.2?

Thanks,
Jim

Hi all, I was wondering how you go about installing software from source, everytime I try, say with something like avant window navigator, I always end up with error about there being no acceptable c compiler and error for gcc and cc. Also when using KDE with compiz my panel ends up with a border around like it is being treated as an open window with the words Qt-subapplication in the title bar and the min,max and close buttons. Any advice on either of these would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Jason

Hey Taz,
Just thought I'd update you on my adventures. I'm using lhp 442c. When the sfs files uploaded at boot, my logitech scroll began to work. Still don't know why it didn't in the other lhp's I tried, but so far so good with this one.
Thanks,
PP
