Lupu-515 Beta New Version DEC 18

[Jades]

I'd find fully-working Lupu 5.2 apps on my K6 2 500 machine

Have you tried the K6-pack.pet?

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... -Lucid.pet

Downloading it now, will give it a shot on the LiveCD installs in the next couple of days. Need to backup the lupusave from the current 5.1.1 LiveCD install first as Lupu 515 Beta will presumably try to upgrade it. While testing with LiveCD is obviously slower on there than installing on the full install of 5.1.1 it's easier to rollback in case of problems. Thanks for the reminder!

Which were the other two apps you mentioned in your earlier post?

I think this has been mentioned . . . and Lucid News
is being updated no doubt but the link to Openshot is
not working for me . . so I downloaded from PPM but it seems to be an earlier version . . .

Should be Openshot 1.2.2. I put the 3 programs smil99 made, Python, GtkRecordMy desktop, and Openshot into the PPM together. Maybe choose ibiblio in case they haven't percolated. Or let me know if I got it wrong--there's lots of programs now These 3 of smil99's should all work together.

It also has gparted and geany. Please let me know if there are others. Thanks.

Lobster I have not finished editing your web page because I got stuck on how to format some text. Do I have headers and paragraphs or a built list? I felt the section I was stuck on could do with a rewrite anyway. So it was more noob friendly. The lines I am suck on are 70-91.

There was a lot of very bad web site design. You had misused the "hight" and "width" parameters for the "img" tag. To resize images you should use a image editor! Though with photos, if one is not going to previed full high res versions but is having smaller thumb nailish images. Then I don't mined because I like a lot being able to zoom in. However with these image being able to zoom in lots with out pixelation does not mater.

Me thinks the "superheroe" image would be smaller if from its source it was exported into png.

There was a lot of junk tags which weren't doing any thing.

The styles are now set in one place. This is a very good thing. If you read some doc, you will find out what I mean.

The code layout was a mess! *yuck*

It now works on any resolution and uses the full width of ones screen! (I hate fixed/small width websites.) For what it looks like on small screens. See the attached screen shot.

Notecs the quote has a tooltip! I have also used the "cite" parameter! Now it just has to be implemented in web-browsers . For the mean time I am thinking of having something like a link to the quote source....


One more nice thing I have done, is add a bit of shadow the headers .

P.S Sorry for spelling errors. My two spell checkers have failed me.

Anyway here it is.

Hi, please try this:...
Switch to JWM
go directly to JWM configuration / Desktop / Tray management / Virtual
...
"New config corrupt"

I got this error several times, when I tried to change the JWM configuration
in various ways.
I found a workaround. First of all I went into the Themes, and switched
the theme. I saved it and restarted JWM. Just to be safe I also restarted X.
Then I went back in, and made the configuration changes that I originally
wished to make. After that, all was well.

Cheers,

Should be Openshot 1.2.2

That is a later version - hooray - that is the one I installed (knew it was different - sorry for mixup). The Link in Lucid news does not download the earlier version 113

Was able to cobble together this 12 min HD video of Lupu-515
http://youtu.be/q8MUW2HYRB0?hd=1

The video was 220meg before upload and I was also able to use the ffmpeg update (also in Lucid News) for desktop recording - which I am trying to put into Lucid Lit (my personalised program)

Do I have headers and paragraphs or a built list?

No idea. Thanks for your efforts

JWM configuration: "New config corrupt"

I got this error several times, when I tried to change the JWM configuration in various ways. I found a workaround.

ilanrab,
thank you to confirm this little bug which is not new. It appears and disappears according to the versions.
This thread is not interested by the workaround, see the second part of my previous post which is only a description not a workaround, but to try to understand the cause and fix it. If not, a newcomer will be confused and, may be, will not find easily this trick, as you did.
Cheers

You are quite welcome, Gyle. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

Actually, in this particular instance, the workaround was not derived by
chance or by pure trial and error.
A knowledgeable developer, that knows this area of code, should be able
figure out a fix for the problem, by using the concept behind this
workaround; a bit of some tracing detective work. If not a fix, than at
least a "quick fix" can be figured out for the time being.

GoogleEarth starts up with its revealing splash screen,
and when the picture is gone -- "poof" -- so is GoogleEarth.

Given:
A 100% clean installation of frugal lupu-515 on a flash drive.
GoogleEarth was installed by using the quickpet tool.

The two affected systems:
A Dell Latitude D400, with 1GB of RAM, and a Dell DHP Desktop
with 512MB of RAM. Both are booting off the flash drive (not at
the same time, of course).

I believe you need an accelerated driver (common ATI, Nvidia and Intel available in quickpet). You have that?

[Bert]

The 'Clearlooks' openbox theme was removed from Lupu, as it was buggy.
For people who miss it, there's a very lookalike alternative, called Xdream.
I've been testing it and it seems to behave well.

You can find it onthis page at the Box-look site.

Hi,

Greetings, my regards and untold thanks to the providers and those who helped me tweak Lupu 5.1 to my total satisfaction.

[TheMonsterX]

I always install and use IceWM. Prefer it to Openbox or JWM. Maybe it should be included by default, the way it is in Puppeee.

[Lobster]

Maybe . . .
our intrepid developers did have that facility but . . .
now Icewm is an easy download with Puppy Package Manager (available from quickpet pull down menus)
- guys this thread is for testing and development if possible . . .

Slam-dunk! Thank you Lobster!

I must have installed the driver, on lupu-511, prior (weeks or months)
to installing GoogleEarth. With lupu-515beta I wasn't so lucky.
Therefore, GoogleEarth worked right off the bat on 511, but not on 515beta.

I wonder if it's possible to trap a crashing application, figure out that
it's dependent on some particular driver, and put up a dialog box
that offers installation assistance (or at least advice).

Sometimes when I run PupSetclock and change the time format the fbpanel disappears.

Fbpanel refresh fixes the problem though. Maybe it should auto refresh after a save.

[smokey01]

I have just tried Barry/technosaurus new script called remove_builtin and it's great. It allows you to remove installed packages from the original distribution. You then add the software you like and remaster.

I'm using my new distribution now and I like it a lot. This really is a simple way to build your own system.

smokey01,

Lupu-515 Beta has a small configuration anomaly in the initial 'pfbpanel setup' which requires running Fbpanel refresh (pfbpanel refresh) to reset the fbpanel configuration file "before" the first run of PupClockset. I understand this will be corrected in the next Beta.

Also, playdayz has indicated a problem with the integration of PupClockset-1.2 in the current Wolf build. Since the final release of Lucid 5.2 is imminent, and there is little time to resolve the Wolf conflict, playdayz has decided to revert to PupClockset-1.1 for the final release of Lucid. However, version 1.2 will be available in PPM, and also here.

Thanks

arrrrrr! .

You resized the images using the width and hight parameters not by resizing the images in a image editor! I told you not to do that!

You used a table for formatting! This I forgot to mention. I scribe to not using tables for formatting. Only for displaying data. Use CSS for formatting and in this case a "class" parameter/properties (I need to decide or find out on what to call them) in a "div" tag.

You also got rid of the validation images and links. I proudly put those on. To show I had go to the effort of making it standard compliment.
