I wonder how many users will not know that flashblock is enabled by default, and then remove this clutter from the tool bar by resetting defaults, and not know why flash won't work on YouTube.

Question: Wouldn't AdBlockPlus be a substitute for flashblock?

BTW I would like to remove the icon for flashblock. I would like to remove the icon for Print. I would like to remove the icon for clipboard. That is, remove them so I don't see them next time I restart the computer.

Why am I being told I have to download Java?

To remove icons,like the "print" icon, from the SeaMonkey toolbar .........right click in the toolbar area and select "customize" and then drag and drop into the provided window.
I removed the "print" icon in the screenie.
I don't really know how to remove the clipboard icon though. HTH.

My guess would be that you have not installed Java and something you are trying to do needs it

So Java isn't built into Puppy? OK, I'll bite, where do I get the package for Java? And let me get this straight: I'm gonna install Java running Puppy as a live CD? I guess I can just hope that Java is one of the few packages in the official repo.

Just a little aside: I have probably posted over 1000 messages on this forum, but my message count stays fairly constant, as it's been 347 for some time. On this page you can see 5 or 6 posts all numbered 347. Why?
Well, they were all numbered 347 until I wrote this, so now they're all 348.

Many people think javascript and java are synonymous
They are not.
Puppy includes javascript

Java is available here

You had better use Java update 20 sfs which I have. As it as security fixes. I will try to upload it to day.

I think that is a youtube issue, not because of something in You2pup. In other words, youtube has gotten a lot stricter on preventing downloads. It was just recently that you could find a video then use www.savetube.com or www.keepvid.com and it would let you download it; that isn't the case very often anymore.

At least in my experience...

Oh, thanks for the heads up about YouTube. Adobe must be cooperating in that effort, since Flash 10 makes things difficult.

Hi,

any chance for making Puppy compliant with PCs having trident cyberblade video cards, for using an SVideo Out without workarounds?

Thanks

Does it contain a fixed xvesa?

No. This has nothing to do with that. It is to do with:

This thread seems to being hijacked a bit Perhaps because things have gone off the boil a bit.

The man command takes you to the right place in die.net, as for 430. However about 15 "find .... Is not a directory" messages appear in rxvt, which is confusing. The "...." is references to hiawatha or "releaseNNN" etc.

I was going to post the exact messages but got another oddity. While the command "ls > bug.txt" works as expected, "man ls > bug.txt" creates an empty bug.txt file and the error output still appears in rxvt.

Regarding my earlier reports of pupsave problems, there are a number of threads about this problem. For some reason the fixes have never got into the mainline. Could they be considered? On a related note, Barry has now reconsidered journaling in pupsave and has implemented the ability to choose ext2, ext3 or ext4 for pupsave.

There was a thread that dealt with that.

Yes, the thread is here:

ttuuxx, you contributed to it, so you know about the problem. I hope that it can be fixed for 4.3.2 final?

Looks as though the May 8 deadline for a multiple release is history now. It was always going to be insanely tough for volunteer developers who need to put rice on the table.

James C · #297 Post by **James C** » Thu 06 May 2010, 04:12

I'm still running this as my primary system every day. I'm even beginning to like SeaMonkey.......

Hope your new job is going well and patiently awaiting the next release.

Moreover, I saw Abiword can now read DOCX files, which is great, but sadly enough other Office2007 softwares do not seem to be covered by other Puppy 4.3.2 enclosed programs (Gnumeric). That is a pity because most spreadsheets around are in XLSX format and OpenOffice 3.x is way too heavy for my computer. Is there anything around for fixing the problem?

Thanks again!
Haven't tried it, but looks like an online converter:

In Quirky, Gnumeric 1.8.2 can also read office 2007 files... is it the same on 4.3.2?

Reload browsers your screen a few (7-8) times if you get the current download limit exceeded. It'll still work.

Could not use browser for the life of me, this worked (eventually, counted 23 retrys):

Code: Select all
