Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

shinobar, love your version. I use it daily. I feel no need to use any other Puppy or other Linux distro.

But an annoying thing is that you??? or is it Lucid deciding and you accepted. Have not tested but two of the Icons to the most left lower corner. SDA1 and SDA2. are locked there each time I boot while all the others accept the place one gave them before shutting down.

How does one unlock these icons? All else seems to just work.

Sorry, gave my best to follow this instruction.

See no Prefences are you talking about Options?

But that did not help me either, numerous options have no idea which one lock the icons.

Edit 2.

wow that look promising indeed.

Hi, nooby!

EDIT2:
Edit the file '/etc/eventmanager' with text editor.
Maybe at the last lines:
Code:

[nooby]

Close but no cigar.

I have edit and edit that one.

If I put a # in front of that line then it accept to stay about 7 oclock.

Which is some inch higher up but it still locks to that position instead of to be stay where one place it like the others do so has to be some other script that take care about it.

Maybe we have to just let it have it's will? Just annoying it force me to accept something that I had hoped would be under user choice where to have them.

I tested to write Left but then it went to Top instead. Unpredictable behavior.

For information:
They are determined by the function free_coord() at line 209-298 of /sbin/pup_event_frontend_d.

Shinobar,

so if I get it they are defined as variable within a function?

One need to recompile to get at them?

We call it a day it is not important just an annoyance to take away flexibility that I as a Noob expect of an OS.

Much appreciated you cared this way. I fail to get why me should use any other Puppy.

Now I have to over come my laziness and make DVD and offer them to neighbors.

Unfortunately I could make it even run. Gives me kernel stop message at load procedure.

PC system: Pentium IV 2.4GHz, 1,3GB RAM 333MHz, LG DVD-DL device, Gigabyte motherboard (old), nVidia 6200A 512MB shader 3.0.

Other puppies loading fine from the same RW-CD.

hello shinobar,
sorry, it is midori again:
klicking on menu help launched midori file:///usr/share/doc/index.html
There klicking the 2nd select (4dtris) lets midori freeze.
Therefore I have installed good old seamonkey, it does not freeze!
Then I have changed default browser to seamonkey.
As menu help was continuing to launch midori, I have revised puppyhelp and made 2 changes. (see Posted: Yesterday, at 21:46 Post subject:
Subject description: addition 2 to langpack-de).

Now klicking menu help launches my default browser (seamonkey) file:///usr/share/doc/help/de/index.html

But anyhow, we will continue to make it better

edit
please change last lines of my /usr/sbin/puppyhelp posted in translate lupq from

Well, I tested it and is very, very good puppy distro.
One thing I would like is XFCE desktop environment. I used to use NOP distro 4.3.1 and find it very useful. Not a big deal but anyway.

One question though!

I saw that my Audio Mixer ALSA is full with channels. Is that your work or the new Puppy Lucid is like that. I seem to make use of it when using my emu 10k2 Creative sound card (like an audio routing driver).

[shinobar]

Thanks, adXok.
