Another .sfs for testing:
.sfs should have two front end options in Fun Menu:
Glut - seems to be lighter on resources and has no menus / is keyboard driven.
Gnome - more resource hungry but has menus.

cheers.

Tor and Polipo. This sounds very worthwhile. It also seemed complicated and I was not able to get it working for Firefox 4.0b10. Where did it say that you needed a special version of openssl? If we are really lucky someone might package it all in one pet that is tested and configured for Lucid 5.2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: there is a 403 error on the libreoffice sfs (permissions?)
Fixed now. Thanks.

I could only make it work after installing the following packages


http://puppylinux.org/wikka/openssl

http://puppylinux.org/wikka/libevent

http://puppylinux.org/wikka/tor

http://puppylinux.org/wikka/polipo

Yes, you need that first openssl in that link to make TOR work. I wonder why? If there is a way to make TOR use the OpenSSL in puppy, please tell me.

Did you not try the combined .pet posted by Michalis? Some one reported that it worked in 5.2

chrismt, The TOR package(s) are too large to include in the Live-Cd, but you can boot the Live-CD and then click to install the TOR-Browser and achieve the same effect. Thanks for the request.
Ah, this is more my speed:
One-Stop TOR-Browser (everything included in this one package--based on Firefox)
Surf Anonymously
Also included in LupuNews.

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... ucid52.pet

This one is en-US, but you can get some other languages at

@ playdayz

Just awesome Thanks man!

Coolpup has updated the OpenSSL

@ stu90

Those packages of TOR didn't really work but coolpup versions did work

XO-Pup 2.0
Mavrothal, with help from 01micko, has released a Puppy for the One Laptop Per Child laptop based on Lucid 5.2.
"The addition of Openbox/Fbpanel window manager as the default WM (01micko). Openbox is much more user friendly and feature-full than JWM (and thus a bit slower) and importantly, screen-rotation aware--Implementation of screen rotation for both the XO-1 and XO-1.5, either with rotation button or with the new, rotate screen, menu entry. You can switch back and forth between the 2 WM with the new switch desktop utility."
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=60155

Mavrothal makes an interesting point. I am completely convinced that programs open faster in jwm than they do in Openbox. The reason we used Openbox as default in Lucid 5.2 is that there were some problems with full screen video in jwm, but not in OB. There is a new jwm 500 (Lucid uses 493) that says it has fixed some full screen problems. But now I have noticed something else. I like the "animation" of buttons in the window manager, so that when you click the button seems to depress, etc. On the titlebar, OB does this--maybe I am kind of sissy to want that, but I miss it when in jwm--it is a kind of information about using the desktop that I guess I have gotten used to.

Anyway, Lucid has both.

Just a doubt

Why isn't Puppy having a new version of OpenSSL?

Can I use this version safely?

http://puppylinux.org/wikka/OpenSSL

[playdayz]

Good question. We are not trying to have the very latest of everything in Lucid. When we add anything new, we would want to do testing to make sure everything is stable, else we might lose the stability that resulted from our 3 months of testing. However, I wouldn't expect any problems with the new openssl, so I will try it also If we don't have any problems we can put it in Puppy Package Manager. I have been thinking of making a list of the updates like this that people can install themselves.

Maybe people could make suggestions. Here is what I have so far:
i686_ffmpeg, i686_libc, e2fsprogs, openssl, syslinux-4, bash 4.1

[abushcrafter]

If some one would like to test (have no clue on how to use it) - here is updated version of LMMS-0.4.8-1.sfs

http://www.smokey01.com/stu90/lucid.pup ... .4.8-1.sfs

Check sum please.

[playdayz]

abushcrafter, There is also a pet of LMMS in PPM--older version.

[abushcrafter]

LMMS is also in Puppy Package Manager. Maybe you could see if that worked. It was created for Lucid 5.0 but nobody has mentioned it since

It does work. I recoded from the midi of my electric piano/keyboard. I used the most advanced instrument which has a "Z" in it's name .

It seems like LMMS should be in Puppy Studio--I bet they have it working.

I am already working on it.

I don't have one, how to make?

Have written to Joe Wingbermuehle of JWM to make him aware of this
thread . . .


Also compiled in Lucid 5.2 and created this binaural beats front end for sbagen
so you can fry your brain
(works for me - never use my brain anyway - gets in the way of thinking)

[playdayz]

I don't have one, how to make [md5sum]?

stu90, I use Menu -> General Utilities -> GTK Hash. It's drag and drop.

[l0wt3ch]

If some one would like to test (have no clue on how to use it) - here is updated version of LMMS-0.4.8-1.sfs

I installed this over top of the one from PPM, and it seems to work.

[stu90]

Thanks for help and feedback guys - here are the numbers for lmms_0.4.8-1.sfs:

MD5: ad3f0727006513cc30c4a49eb4826f98
SHA1: 10d42795264a2203446c2dc62732cc14d4bf92b6

let m know if you want the numbers for the other .sfs files and i will post them.

cheers

Nice

[Iguleder]

My suggetions:
- Bash 4.x
- Busybox
- Coreutils, this package is simply ancient!
- Things like dhcpcd
- Rox and shared-mime-info
- acpid, xbindeys, xbindkeys-config, powertop
- Grun instead of gExec
- Right-click MD5ing for PET/ISO/SFS
- Tray icon improvemens (trayfreq, ppower, volumeicon+aumix)

In other words, this

My spup builds have all these upgrades and they seem to work great. At the moment I'm messing with T2, I'm trying to learn how to use it because I want to start serious work on my own distro (Calf Linux) - the init scripts and package management are ready and working, I just need a huge pile of binary packages

I also want to make a new tpup for fun ... but that's just a secondary goal
