Here is a very simple pet that allows you to browse as user "spot" .. ie <-- not as user "root"

Try it if you want

Cheers


I installed the pet, I have 3 browsers installed so I made firefox the default and clicked on browsesafe and got an error saying that I must be running a mozilla browser.

EDIT:

oops, tried again and it seems to be working now Smile

Hi all

the default chat client ayttm wont handle msn and keeps returning error 6 and saying to download new version before fileing a bug report.

Yet pidgin will work with the same account and clients

Hope this helps
Don

Create a file /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf:
options i915 modeset=1


That's the one I got also ICPUG. It is implemented in luci-214 coming tomorrow. The video=640x480 is implemented in luci-213 (in isolinux.cfg) for boot from the CD. The i915.modeset parameter worked in booting the Cd, in luci-214 we neeed to confirm that it works as a config file in /etc/modprobe.d.

Thanks for all the help.

I just noticed that Ayttm is not going into the tray as it is supposed to.

I have changed ayttm from Ubuntu to the pet 20100427-q1--which goes into the tray as it should. Please test for functionality. Thanks.

Ayttm is the smallest there is, besides CenterIM Razz

I think the best option is to drop ayttm and put the meeboview from 4.2.1. It doesn't take any space, besides one .desktop file.

I made a pet for testing on the previous page, can you install it and run the command "graphix_test"?

It should recommend the correct driver.

Cheers


Hi 01micko,

I ran graphix_test in Test 1 earlier. It seems to recognize the card but doesn't recommend a driver.

Thank you scruffy, that helps Cool

If you don't mind can you try this new pet? Same command. It will overwrite the old one.

Cheers

It's now selecting the correct driver Smile

# graphix_test
For your nVidia video card, nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] (rev a4) we think the best add on driver is nvidia-96.43.16. It would be required for some programs and games with high graphcial content and your desktop might seem a bit more snappy. It is available in Quickpet under Drivers

Thank you scruffy Smile

That should clear most of the cards from that era. Wink

I bet most of you have bumped into this. If one right-clicks a drive icon to select "unmount" from the pop-up menu, there is a good chance that both the icon and the menu disappear Sad while the drive keeps being mounted.

I understand that this is a ROX issue but there must be a cure for this. For example, user confirmation could be requested before removing the item.

No that's an xml based script which is hidden.

To see the script look in /root/.pupevent and right click a drive icon there and select 'look inside' the menu scripts are there.

Sorry, also check /usr/sbin/eventmanager

EDIT:

Hmmm, looked again but no use to you I'm afraid. I have worked on that menu for myself before but just can't remember where it is.

Someone else will come along and clear it up.

PostPosted: Wed 21 Jul 2010, 09:51    Post subject: symlink to folder  
I suspect that this may be a continuation of my earlier problem - but was wondering if anybody else has had this happen.
Luci 213 on a frugal install on a usbstick.
I want to keep my firefox profile in /mnt/home
Now I could just alter profiles.inito point to /mnt/home but I've had real problems with this approach before - firefox refusing to start or claiming that there was another version running. So I thought, leave profiles.ini alone and just have a symlink.
The problem is, is that every time I reboot the symlink has turned into a folder. So I have to delete it, recreate the symlink. Then I normally have to start firefox in safemode, then restart it and all is well. A bit of a faff and presumably not necessary?
Anybody got any ideas as to what's going on, or what could be messed up with how I've set things up.
All ideas gratefully received.

Thanks, tasmod. To tell the truth, I failed to find that menu among the system files based on its content.

I assume that simply changing the position of "Remove item" within the menu will not resolve the issue but threaten another icon(s) on the screen. Sad

So, I think that removing "Remove item" would be the least painful workaround.

Made a small video of lucid213 first run wizard and driver recommendation. Cool

I saw it on youtbue, Stu90. Very cool. Thanks. Did you make it with gtk-recordMyDesktop? I am thinking to make at least one video (more a slide show) to welcome new users. Any tip[s?

Now that it's on youtube, my daughter believes it's real Wink


No i used xvidcap-1.7.7.pet for that video - seems to work ok but it transcodes the video file on the fly as you are recording which resulted in a large frame rate drop for me when recording full desktop videos as my duel core AMD laptop couldn't keep up.

Gtk-recordmydesktop gives the option to transcode the file after you have finished recording which i find more convenient for lower spec and older hardware.

I used Gtk-rmd in lucid 213 for this video on installing puppy.look.

Im no video maker so can't really offer much in the way of tips although i did notice youtube seems to have added more features since i last used it, even has a basic video editor for cropping videos and joining them together etc. Lobster is probibly the man to ask when i comes to videos. Cool
