Hi Mick,
half success, but failure at the end: Sad

Test :
I deleted all spups pupsave and sfs.
cd-Live (pfix=ram) > boot 'qwerty' > gunzip fr.gz OK > copy X11/xkb/symbols/pc/fr => it's OK

Personalize Settings (azerty, Europe-Paris, fr,Numlock checked UTC unchecked).....> azerty is OK (Geany) BUT ONLY if I don't restart X SERVER.
Time (Local) is bad.

I get ' azerty' if I don't restart X server and again it's bad if I reboot.
Impossible to get again 'azerty'. Crying or Very sad

Only numlock stays good.

Hi Tasgarth

I'm pretty sure this is because of the skinny xorg.conf, this is what I'm working on right now.

I'm posting the woof 0setup script I'm using that has bugfixes for slackwares PACKAGES.TXT conversion, mainly for safe keeping. It is mainly of interest if you use woof as it is already in the /root/.packages/ folder in spup-120.

Hi Mick

Just wondering when the next release might happen? Since this was was a pre-alpha and with all the fixes/updates already made lol next one should almost be a beta Smile

Alpha 2 - congratulations, I am in

I used the 'Puppy pfix=ram,nox' option and used vesa and the recommended resolution. It was slow to get in but I have a working desktop. Just to let you know Mick Smile

Alpha dogs welcome

This time the 120 didn't run OOTB as the 100 did.
Reboot/poweroff after 1st run did bring me to a black screen and blinking cursor whereas I should have gotten the proposition to create a save file.
The same for CTRL-DEL-BACKSPACE where I didn't get the X prompt.

I took the precaution to run report-video and saw the driver was vesa.

So I did the trick to start with nox.
I could run xorgwizard and the driver chosen was radeon

So for the moment I am up and running.

Hi mick,

Frugal installation of spup 120.50 booted fine using the nouveau driver. Only problem noted to date is that the nvidia driver in the spup ppm section does not work.

I need everyones help with a problem I am having with Spup-1.00 & 1.20.50. I love to watch internet TV at vettle.com. With Linux you have to download veetle-0.9.17-linux-install.sh and install it as a plugin. I open a terminal in root and type sh veetle-0.9.17-linux-install.sh as the site tell you to. The problem is it should install Veetle Broadcaster Plugin, Veetle TV Core and Veetle TV Player. All it installs is Veetle TV Core.

I have installed it in other version of Puppy and most will let me install all three.
I only have this problem with 4.3.1 and below, Browserlinux based releases and Spup releases.

All help is needed.

Copying files to ntfs with accented characters fail like in spup 100
