DaveS,

Just a shot in the dark here, but does this link help?

Maybe Opera daemonizes so the script proceeds to the next line. I'll try to write a wrapper for Opera in /usr/bin/opera what runs Opera and waits Smile

This computer has a seventeen inch LCD screen which apparently returns the string CMV 17" as its model name. In the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file generated by the wizard the following line in the Section "Monitor" prevents X from starting.

ModelName "CMV 17" AD"

I always have to edit this line to

ModelName "CMV 17 AD"

In klp-004 I select Xorg in the first screen of the Puppy Video Wizard and highlight 1280x1024x24 before entering <Test_X_NOW>
This immediately returns:
Report on X test:
Resolution: x pixels
Horizontal frequency: KHz
Refresh frequency: Hz
Video driver: ati

If you are reading.....

Tab to <Tweak> then ENTER
<Tweak_xorg.conf> Enter
<OK> Enter
does _not_ bring up xorg.conf in an editor but instead takes you back back to:

Okay, just about to take the plunge......

The only solution is to _not_ <Test_X_NOW> but to try Xorg without testing first. The wizard then drops you to the command line after displaying the line:

If X failed to start, type "xorgwizard" to setup X

at the prompt enter

e3ne /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and edit the line

ModelName "CMV 17" AD"

to become

ModelName "CMV 17 AD"

ave and exit the editor. At the prompt enter

xwin jwm

and you arrive at the desktop.

Did a fresh frugal install of KLP-004 on my old P3 test box.Everything appears to be working correctly out of the box.......no complaints here. Smile

Looking forward to 005.............................

005 is pushed back, I'm having some problems here ... time to format my whole drive and clean up the mess. Looking good so far, but there are 3 annoying problems to get rid of:
- The help page doesn't open unless Opera is already running, Opera starts the speed dial thing instead of opening it.
- CUPS is too used to PuppyBrowser, gotta make some Opera bash launcher that waits until Opera closes, because Opera daemonizes or does something quirky so the CUPS shell script goes on instead of waiting for Opera to end. I was thinking of some script that starts Opera, then it checks whether Opera is running once per second and exists if it isn't. That's the only solution I can think of.
- In the latest Woof, there's no automatic wired internet connection as in 004. Barry mentioned that somewhere as an issue he's trying to figure out. I also had a corrupt /etc/resolv.conf in one of the 005 builds, so I rebuilt it from the 4.3.1 ISO and things seem fine, except the missing automatic connection.

The difference from 004 is pretty much cosmetic, except some removed stuff that reduce the ISO size by less than 1 MB Smile

I'll upload a delta from 004 to 005 for those who want it, that should be useful.

superchook: that's the 4.3.1 xorg. KLP is built directly from the 4.3.1 ISO to make sure they're 100% compatible.

Solved both the help icon and CUPS problems with a simple launcher.

Hello, Iguleder

I just discovered your derivative. Congratulations ! Very Happy

KLP is very pleasant to work with. Many thanks for providing a ready-made access to upgraded programs, especially including the new Opera, with the time-tested Puppy 4.31 structure.

All the best,

I feel like i'm cheating on ttuuxxx but i really like klp so far. i've used it for a couple of days and am very pleased. i'm just gonna start with one idea, i know its been implemented before but a gui to change the clock from 24 hr to 12 hr would be recommended. i know how to do it manually but for those that don't that would be nice.

alright, alright... 2 other minor things that don't really matter at all (i told you I am very pleased with your product). your aesthetics are very nice in general maybe change the puppy picture on the Menu button. And, I've never understood this, shouldn't "calc" on the desktop be called "spreadsheet".

I know I'm being picky about things I can change myself, just ideas, thats all. Thanks again I am very satisfied with the way KLP works

For the menu button icon, I always change /root/.jwmrc-tray/ menu button line to read:
