Hi 01micko,

Your desktop configurator for customising your desktop works fine with spup and lucid. Great that you enable current custom setup to be saved. Finally an easy way to eliminate desktop clutter.

Looks great with stu90's wallpaper.

Thanks,
Jim

Thanks Jim1911, there is a new version of desksetup http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=487481#487481

It fixes a wallpaper bug with the custom setting.

I am going to add stu90's wall to 056, which may (or may not) be ready on the weekend. I like that notebook variation of the app too stu90. I may even adopt that approach and add radky's apps too.

One good thing about my app is that now, after you install an sfs it's a breeze to get your desktop back how it was. That bug (sfs) is also on my todo list but does involve tampering with critical system files.

Jim.. does TazOC have a fix for that, since LHP relies heavily on sfs?

Cheers

01micko, I am thinking to post links to your desktop configurator plus radky's control panel in LupuNews. jim1911 said it works with Lucid. I'll check a bit--do you see any problems?

Oops, The minimal desktop icons worked fine, but the single drive icon didn't take--all the drive icons are back. I know you are not specifically supporting lucid here. It was in icewm btw. Same in jwm.

Hey stripe, I *am* taking a rest. Not being the "boss" is very relaxing

installed desktop setup-0.3.pet. when I try to show only one drive icon or no drive icons receive message that x will be restarted but nothing happens
I restart x manually and nothing changed
Running full install to hard drive with several applications such as wbar, xchat, deadbeef, pupcontrol, xorghigh, roxterm, bibletime installed

any ideas

regards

desksetup-0.4

Ok, bug fixed, should work fine in lupu, spup, any post woof puppy (I think). I only tested in lupu-520 and spup-055 and 052.

There is a tiny bug in eventmanager. The pristine /etc/eventmanager file has double quotes wrapping all the true and false statements, but as soon as you run eventmanager either from menu or right clicking a drive icon those double quotes disappear. I have a workaround in place where if (and only if) the double quotes are detected then they are removed. This does not affect eventmanager at all. It still runs fine.

I also added cases for lupu less than 515 (for 500-511) and for 515 and greater. (luci wont work correctly, sorry)

All other puppies should be covered, but if used in a puplet with a custom pinboard then this will revert to stock puppy pinboard by default, defined by the DISTRO_FILE_PREFIX (see /etc/DISTRO_SPECS for an explanation)

Cheers!

that fixed problem for me with drive icons appearing properly - I still have a problem with restarting x - only way is click on menu option to restart then press ctrl-alt-del - possible problem with some of stuff i have added. will erase and do another full install tomorrow and report back .
thanks for help on desktop setup

Hi yarddog

Good the drive icons are fixed but it does seem to appear that something on your system is corrupt. If you have to press ctrl-alt-bkspce just to restart X then something is wrong. I can't see anything obvious with what you have installed but it appears X is not being killed. You list "xorghigh".. is this the one from lupu? If so that will be your issue. We do have a "mesa" package for spup that should do the same thing, available from the setup icon, "Update X Drivers" or the PPM, type "mesa*" in the search box with the spup repo checked. Make sure you uninstall xorg_high first, and pray that that doesn't break anything!

Thanks for reporting

Cheers

Stripe,

I guess you got your answer in your question... kde3 needs qt3.
I'm going to try something foolish and try TazOC's kde4 for LHP in spup and see what's missing.. (EDIT, no I won't, it's 450M and needs mariner sfs.. gives it potential of being over 500M sfs in spup ) ... I haven't time to muck about with kde3/trinity just yet.

Cheers

Hi all

01micko have downloaded trinity but got sidetracked with icewm (lucid), don't know if its spup or my machine but it is flying compared to jwm, am going to try it on the old 800mhz box as well as compiling it in spup.

cheers
