I will try to start all over with the iso and and a totally new frugal install to see if that works better.

But I vaguely remember that I ahve tried that before.

I am on NTFS are you also dual booting with win7Starter?
I report later tonight. Has some house keeeping to do.

No,I have XP Home on my netbook and I sat the Fluppy savefile and the 511 on the NTFS partition and boot from a usb flash drive.
Both work perfectly but what I found was,it's essential to start with a clean savefile.

Right-click? It just worked for me, in Openbox.

Strange, but gmail works with it, lol

congratulations on the 100 pages :)
excellent work to get this far :)


The other 2 static qt apps compiled in 2.14X work fine, That browser had the same issue in 2.14X


Ps an easy way to tell if ssl is working is just basically open a terminal and type ssl
like this
# ssl
bash: ssl: command not found


that means it needs fixing on luci-238

After remembering about the lovely command that is alsaconf, I fixed my only problem with this version of Lucid. :)
I did notice I had some issues while playing Transformice (the same issue I had before) with a bit of pixelling (here. Please try to pay no mind to the usernames. I play with a rowdy bunch. lol). It was fixed by transferring the libflashplayer.so from 4.3.1 and placing it in /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin. I would attach it, but I cannot seem to. I do not know if it is my internet or what.
I will upload it to 4shared in a while.

ETA - I found what my issue was. I read the size as 10kb. It's 10mb...and since I have internet that uploads at half the speed of smell...

http://www.4shared.com/file/mfwXk5Cm/li ... layer.html

A question. Is there a way in the future to add Murrine or Clearlooks engines for Puppy? This is just out of curiosity.
I can always try to compile it for Puppy. but I was just wondering if anyone else had tried.
Many OpenBox themes run on Clearlooks, so that's why I was wondering.

nooby,

Jades answered your question to me before I returned and I see you have understood it well.

Automatically copying the sfs removed the choice - you had it whether you wanted it or not!

It also did this whatever the disk format so it will copy to ntfs if that its what you have. Some, not me, are worried about this. Actually, I was a bit worried last night. I was looking for a puppy that didn't copy so as I could test on my Windows 7 machine. I did not want to give it any chance to compromise the ntfs on that system as I don't know it yet! I used 4.2 in the end. Now I know luci_238 asks the question I can move forward with confidence.

ICPUG, you will find that no matter what puplet you are running, they are all essentially the same on the inside. They might have different WMs or programs, but the base system is all the same. :)

I added them to 4.2 and also 2.14X has Clearlooks, really they take almost no space at all, hmmm I'll compile them tomorrow. But it will be upto the powers that b if they get included.

Clearlooks is already included in luci-238.

Menu -> Desktop Setting -> Gtk Theme Chooser
and Openbox Window manager config

When ttuuxxx said it was in 2.14x, I THOUGHT that's what he was saying, but I wasn't sure.
Now that I know this I'm going on a GTK theme installing bonanza...
Thank you. :)

wacom driver

persistent i.e. stay loaded even after a reboot

How about the boot manager?
You need to rmmod the module before starting the boot manager.
It registers the module name at /etc/rc.d/MODULESCONFIG.
Like:
ADDLIST=' wacom'
Thanks for Shinobar's suggestion.

I put

Code: Select all

ADDLIST=' wacom '
at the end of /etc/rc.d/MODULESCONFIG
and that did the trick.

Boot manager wasn't much help since it only listed
wacom_w8001 which is the driver for a touchscreen.
That's not what I have.

international version mtpaint 3.34.57

#1498 Post by don570 »

It looks like the version of mtpaint in luci 238 doesn't support
locales. That's my fault. I should have compiled with

Code: Select all

./configure release intl

That will solve the problem.

Here's the recompiled app. I checked that it works with many languages.
It's only compatible with Lucid Puppy.

Thanks don570. We'll get it in the next go round. ;-)

But I vaguely remember that I ahve tried that before.

I am on NTFS are you also dual booting with win7Starter?
I report later tonight. Has some house keeeping to do.
I have done two tests I started all over with pfix=ram and pretended that I had no earlier familiarity and that allowed me to boot several times until I added a symlink to the HDD into root.

Okay maybe that is the problem I thought and did test number two. Even more basic.

So symlink or anything just making a first time version of Luci_238 that a newbie would only installed a browser I chose FF 4.07

Next boot failed. and next boot failed too. They go to kernel panic.

Then I tested to boot Fluppy008 and that one booted without any problem at all.

So something goes wrong here. Maybe it works on other computers of the same brand. If not do tell it here so they get some feedback.

unless one should not try to use it at all.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though
