Question: What do you guys think of the new menu? Was it easier to find things with flat menus? or the new tiered menus?

Tiered menu:

Like trying to find your way through a maze.

Thought you'd like to know that Fluppy 006 made the lid switch and the sleep button work. The mute button still doesn't, but I assigned another key combo to that, so all is good.

Thanks.

Jonlowe, open up Xbindkeys (on the Desktop menu), and try to capture the keycodes for the keys that don't work. Then send them to me and I'll fix it in the next version.


Ok, Xbindkeys got Volume up and down to work. I didn't know that app was there, thanks! However, hitting the Sleep key (Fn+F1), Mute key (Fn+F6) with Get Key in Xbindkeys, doesn't capture anything. In fact, I have to crash out of Xbindkeys by closing the Get Key window since it doesn't capture the key. Capturing the Vol up and Vol down (Fn+F8 and Fn+F7) respectively does work (they were the same as defaults).

Is there any other way to capture the keys and and the lid closing action? Some other FN+ keys don't capture anything either.

Thanks!

Jon

Getting used to the new menus, now I have worked out where things are, but no preference either way (but thats with using a mouse)

still not sure about the new taskbar volume control though.

cd's and dvd's work great through the file menu of Gxine, video and audio streaming working great too.

anybody else having problems with the printing as when I tried ecubes solution I still could not get cups to work.

I have been playing with gimp again

Cheers

Just finished upgrading the frugal Fluppy install on my main Linux box from 004 to 006.(Had 005 burned to disc,never got around to upgrading Smile ).
Other than losing the desktop icons,easy fix, there were no problems at all.Fluppy runs really well on this desktop.

I had already done a fresh frugal on a different box......no problems either.
The upgrade was a bit different.......Firefox wouldn't run,guess the upgrade removed some libs.Reinstalled the missing libs and fixed Firefox and I'm not certain of what I did bit Chrome likes Youtube again...it's playing videos again. Smile

Speaking of Chrome; any chance of getting Chrome 6.x in the next version of Fluppy? Some add-ons, specifically Ad Block, don't work in 5.x. Plus Chrome sync is not fully functional in 5.x.

A point of comparison. I have Ubuntu 10.10 beta installed on my Averatec netbook, and I'm writing this from Fluppy on an SD card on the same netbook. Fluppy is much faster in every way. I will likely deinstall Ubuntu. It is, unfortunately, getting as bloated as Windows. The one thing that Ubuntu has all over any version of Puppy/Fluppy I've used, and that is printer installation. Getting my HP 2600n to work on Fluppy is a battle with CUPS, while Ubuntu auto detects it and sets it up with little intervention from me.

Keep up the good work.

Jon

# rm -rf /var/spool/cups
