I first add the puppy 508 kernel configuration. Second ran "make prepare" and then ran nividia installer package. Any thoughts would be appreciated. However, Fluppy 003 nv driver does work.
Hmm, I will have to see if I can trick the nvidia installer to build the Xorg driver on my machine.

Thanks for making fluppy! All the essentials are working great on my toshiba nb200 so far, the first successfull puppy!

A little problem that I've noticed. In the acpi-control i assume the brightness tab is to set the screen brightness associated with each cpu mode. Only the one for powersave works though. (As in, I can't tell whether the cpu is doing its thing, or the fan. But I can tell the brightness isn't changing when changing cpu modes.)

Also the function keys for changing the volume don't work.

Not huge deals but maybe you know whats going on.

Try changing the brightesses to lower numbers. Some machines go from 0-15, others it's 0-9, or 0-10.

I haven't attempted hotkey support yet. You can try Xbindkeys from the Desktop menu, and see if it recognizes your hotkeys. My plan is to provide a set of scripts that you can use with Xbindkeys to get function keys to work.

thank you

You2Pup has been updated a few times over the past few months to deal with problems like this. You might have better luck reporting this issue on the You2Pup thread and if a fix gets released I'll update the version in Fluppy.

Just noticed the icon changers changes the icons on the desktop but not those in the menu. In either Icewm or openbox/rox.
It will work in IceWM, you just need to re-apply the theme.

ROX-Menu is more complicated. The problem is that to generate the ROX menu, you have to create this massive directory structure with about a thousand files in it. Originally, to update the menu, I just wiped the whole tree every time and started fresh - and that worked great. But that creates a problem for users running in PUPMODE 13, since it takes about 10 extra minutes to save all the files during shutdown if the menu has been regenerated during the session. :(

So I rewrote the script to do updates only - which saves much faster. But that has problems too - AUFS doesn't like it very much, and the icons don't update.

Barry has his pet installer in Quirky write directly to the save file, bypassing the RAM layer. I tried this in Puppeee but got inconsistent results - sometimes installed pets wouldn't show up for a few minutes. I may revisit this idea though, both for pets and ROX-Menu.

Thanks Jemimah. 0-7 appears to be the range on the nb200.

So I can set the key code for vol up/down, but I don't know what action to set. Is there some program for setting the volume?

Something like this should work.

Volume Up:

Code: Select all

amixer set Master 5%+
Volume Down:

Code: Select all

amixer set Master 5%-
Mute

Code: Select all

amixer set Master toggle

What is the reason you use Rox panel rather than fbpanel or lxpanel? Just size?

I just like it. It integrates well with the Rox Desktop - you can drop icons into it. It has a cool scrolling feature if you add too many icons. For Flwm, I even got the hard drive icons to go into the Panel.

There's no real reason you couldn't use some other panel if you want.

After playing with it some more, noticed something else.

I was trying to install JWM and noticed that it's impossible to start JWM by typing xwin jwm. Apparently the only way to switch window manager is to manually edit /etc/wm or /etc/windowmanager(not sure of the difference) or use the switcher program, which has limited options. Kind of annoying.

Hi, jemimah!

Just tried your Fluppy 0.03 on my desktop: it's fabulous!
I specially like the rox panel / openbox wm combination.

Congratulations, you did it again!

I pulled the hard drive from my old Inspiron 4000 p3 and put it
in my newer laptop in order to install Fluppy from the usb.
It works very well in the old laptop.
Would sure be nice to eventually have a Fluppy "iso" for situations
like this. :)

Haven't found any Puppy that matches my 4.1.2 install for speed and
ability to run at low temperatures: until now.
Fluppy matches it perfectly and seems to run a little faster.
This really surprised me; as 4.1.2 is under 100mb in size and I
assumed the size of Fluppy would slow it down!

Inspiron 700m, Pent.M 1.6Ghz, 1Gb ram.
Msi Wind U100, N270 1.6>2.0Ghz, 1.5Gb ram.
Eeepc 8g 701, 900Mhz, 1Gb ram.
Full installs

Hi!
Actually, there is an iso for Fluppy. Go to the very first post of this thread and look for the sentence:
> Big_Bass uploaded an ISO for Fluppy 003
The URL for download is right under it.

That's where I got mine from, and it works as any Puppy iso, i.e. great! :D

The ROX in Fluppy is patched to remove the annoying panel auto-hide feature that doesn't work if your panels have stuff in them and allow the corner buttons to work nicely in Flwm.

I've been planning to upgrade and patch the new version but that probably won't happen until after the Puppeee release.

Hi, jemimah.

You said:

> feature that doesn't work if your panels have stuff in them [...]

I certainly didn't mean to undo anything you did to ROX 2.6.1. But if the feature doesn't work... then I did no harm in advancing to ROX 2.10... right?

I'm not sure I understand the full meaning of your comment.

Most sincerely,
musher0

I only mean that if you update ROX in Fluppy, things might break in Flwm. Nothing major though.

True.

But what we need is a talking cow :shock:
