Hi playdayz

Downloaded gimp 2.6.10 from the link you gave installs and works but when you do a dependency check it says that libpoppler-glib.so.5 is missing
also there is no icons for it on the start menu

now running as a full install, and looking very good

Thanks bigpup. It may be the case the xrandr is no help.
The xorgwizard is only way under this circumstance.

A newbie simple question.
How do I know what window manager is being used at initial start?

also you could have a look into

/etc/windowmanager

playdayz, you should try libc6-i686, I discovered it a couple of days ago. I added it and switched from udev to udev_151, Squeeze boots way faster now

Lobster · #309 Post by **Lobster** » Thu 28 Oct 2010, 09:37

Talking of Windows managers, JWM is faster I have noticed. This might make a difference on a slower machine. If someone writes a script to open and close menus or something similar for a comparison it can be proved.

Also before I forget

I always have to reconnect (intermittently) to Ethernet
after the boot up connects me first time correctly.

Lately I have been using Barrys connect wizard
rather than Dougals and Barrys seem to be permanent.
between boots thereafter.

Is there a difference between the two scripts that would account for this?

That's a tough one.

The original purpose of ayttm was to give a connection to the puppy chat line for help with Puppy. It still does that. Has anyone ever used that capability?

Do enough people use a "full-featured chat client" to justify our search? We have Pidgin in the PPM for those who chat. Install it once and it is there forever.

So right now, I am inclined to leave ayttm with its original purpose in mind.

Comments?

FWIW: I opened up ayttm Sunday to lurk for a while at #puppylinux and then the taskbar button for ayttm started flashing and wouldn't stop. It was so distracting I grabbed pidgin and was a happy camper.

Are ayttm crashes fixed? It will hardly be usefull for puppy help if it crashes every time user clicks on a link.

When I clicked on the browse icon and then chose to install opera 10.63,after install the browse icon still opened the "choose a browser" window.

Hi playdayz,

I expect you already know that Firefox 3.6.12 (with a security fix) is now available.

Also, it seems the final release of Firefox 4 may not now be happening until well into 2011.

My regards

Lobster takes up something very important here!

I always have to reconnect (intermittently) to Ethernet
after the boot up connects me first time correctly.

rather than Dougals and Barrys seem to be permanent.

I guess not all of us are having this problem but for us that have it it is very annoying and makes one shun those iso of puppy that have that problem.

Barry did a good work to fix this so would be cool if that fix was on every iso from now on.

nooby · #315 Post by **nooby** » Thu 28 Oct 2010, 12:53

I have to test this latest release so I get back within 30 minutes and tell if it worked.

Edit.

Okay it is very good at setting up things from scratch. Streaming radio and TV worked for me. CNN video where very jerky as they usually are on new puppies. Am I alone having it that way. Our local TV station are not jerky so it could be their server barely being able to deliver?

I tested to look at mp4 and that just worked.

A big thing me hate with this version is that it index the subdirectory.

LupQ that Shinobar gave us does not do the indexing of a subdir automatically. Which I am very thankful for that he cared to decide on.

How do I turn off this unfortunate feature on this 233 version?

apart from that I think it is a good one.

Yes Barry did. But unfortunately we cannot switch the Dugal's to Barry's because Barry's SNS has not full feature.
I think what we need to do is not seeking alternatives but to fix the bug if Dugal's has.

How did you connect for the first time?
Automatic? or somethig you did?

How do you reconnect after boot?
Right click the 'Connect' icon and 'Autoconnect'? or running the connection wizard?

What is your hardware?

EDIT: Well i realized the 'Connect' icon on the desktop of luci-232/233 is outdated.
Replace '/usr/local/apps/Connect/AppRun'' with that of the recent woof.

Code: Select all

#100228 BK support default network tool.
#100325 BK support Simple Network Setup.
#16aug10 shinobar: netchoice. BK: but only if defaultconnect still set to 'exec connectwizard'.

Streaming radio and TV worked for me

Just been listening to Radio 4, the Archers came on and I closed the program down but was forced to listen . . .
The way to stop the program was to restart x - but that is not ideal. What is causing this?

Regarding ayttm: it is not ideal and I thought xchat was in the ppm but it does not appear to be. It is available as a pet and was working in Lucid. I downloaded 'Sunbird' and started going through some bizarre (yes I know it is normal to do so) procedure of accessing the wiki to know how to get on the puppylinux IRC . . . I am sure it can be done with a bit of application and patience . . .

Both x-chat and ayttm are set up to autoconnect to the puppylinux IRC chat channel. Ayttm crashes if you click on a URL link that someone provides (very often to help you).

dejan555 · #319 Post by **dejan555** » Thu 28 Oct 2010, 14:08

xchat is in lupu repo xchat-2.8.8-i486-lupu.pet

Lobster · #320 Post by **Lobster** » Thu 28 Oct 2010, 14:21

How you connect for the first time?

I am autoconnected on first 'puppy pfix=ram' start

Automatic? or something you did?

Fully automatic. If I click on browse I am on the Internet.

How you reconnect after boot?
Right click the 'Connect' icon and 'Autoconnect'? or running the connection wizard?

Neither - I click on setup and then 'connect to internet'.
In future I will click on connect much more efficient . . .

What is your hardware?
