Hi,

Lucid Puppy has newest Rox 2.9 and for localization I found some XML-Files getting localized entries for the context menus - fine for german users

But in a contect menu of a directory (inode/directory) type I didn't found the way to do this.

There is are entries "Search with Pfind" and "Add Panel" - look at the screenshot. How was Pfind set to the context menu?

Thanks!

uuups,

suddenly I saw the Pfind-entry in ~/.config/rox.soureforge.net/...

So "Add panel" only in english. Is in the ROX-binaries (.po) files or is the context menu ready for user edit?

Hi playdayz,

It seems to be only when booting from DVD that there is a problem. If I boot with only two cores all works well. Install with two cores and then boot and activate other two cores, all works well.

The above quandary is also present when I tried to install Fatdog Beta3. Install and boot with 2 cores, then activate remaining cores on subsequent boot. Probably some setting in BIOS that I have setup wrong.

Hardware never shows that I have installed RadeonHD driver just unknown Xorg.

Luci-001 lets me boot into vesa without the need for nox or xorg.old,
on my inspiron 700m; 855gme.

Gxine doesn't crash instantly as before.
It plays the previews but won't play the movie on some dvds.
It quickly rises to excessively high temps. playing the dvd movies
that do work.
Quirkys' gnome-mplayer has the same temp. and other problems.

Okay;
Tried same things with lupu-501.

It also lets me boot vesa without problem.
One small thing;. both luci and lupu automatically give me 1024x768
resolution, even though 1280x800 is native for this 12" screen.
Being a 6yr.old laptop, the screen proportions work well with either
res., and 1024x768 is easier on my old eyes.

Gxine works fine on this one and allows me to pick and choose menu
items and play movie.

About the temperature issue.
Playing dvds with these new kernel versions and gxine, or gnome-mplayer,
my cpu runs at 70c or above.
With my 4.1.2 install using ttuuxxxs vlc8.6h-engv5-1, the cpu temp
ranges from 49c to 53c.
53c is the normal xp desktop resting state on this laptop.
Nothing comes close to the vlc, 4.1.2 combination for cool running.

playdayz don't get me wrong.

I love that we get the choice of browsers and the QuickPet choices.

What I am disappoined with is that both Luci-100 and Lupu-500 shut down when I try to log in to Spotify

Fortunately spotify works in Quirky 1.00 instead so I will use that one until this spotify shut down works.

As I reported before the whole x just dies and I get thrown out to the prompt and have to do xwin and it just repeats that way if I test spotify again. All else just works.

Some improvements to "browser-default".. (that little tray icon that changes browsers)

-bugfix -some bad coding led to some unnecessary process.. fixed.
-now splashes the choice so you know something has happened, ...no change, no splash
-executes the browser upon choice

let me know if you like the new features

Cheers

Let's have some fun. This is what we can do with Lucid Puppy. Barry mentions WebM in his blog. It can be found in the Chromium nightly trunk builds this week.

Here is where to get the trunk builds--the bottom directory.

Here is a pet of 5 libraries that you will need

I don't know if today's build has the WebM. Perhaps someone can let us know. Enjoy.

Hi playdayz,

just to echo what nooby was saying , I'm running a frugal install of Lucid 5.00 and everything works fine except Spotify. The logon window appears and it seems to log on but just before Spotify starts Puppy drops back to the prompt and I have to restart x.

Everything else seems fast and works reliably.

Fresh frugal install of 5.0.1 on the P3 test box, usual browser and pet installs. No problems.

Going to try an upgrade of the frugal, from 5.00 to 5.0.1, on my other box in a few minutes.

Successfully upgraded the frugal install on my main Linux box from 5.00 to 5.0.1. Other than a brief wait to upgrade some files at boot the process was smooth and everything appears to be working and all settings were retained.
