KDE 4.6.3 SFS

Update! 24/1/12

Since Megaupload is down I've uploaded the SFS again with a new host thanks to Russoodle. This SFS is smaller by almost 100MB, but no features are missing. I just was able to strip QT further.

A few other minor changes:
Enabled root logins by default
Shutdown using KDM should work by default. Any other login method will still have to use a separate shutdown manager.
Fixed the Dolphin menu entry so there isn't an error when starting it from the menu.

New Size: 225MB
SFS Download!

great sfs...

with 528 we can load the sfs on the fly too... good job... very nice...

btw from

menu- application-utility-pupapps launcher
we can run all the puppy program too

[battleshooter]

Thanks Master_wrong, for downloading and pointing out about the launcher, I'd forgotten about that, that'll make starting up the Pup apps easier than scrolling through lost and found

I'll add that to tips in case other people missed it like me.

i just realized that were pupcontrol panel... under pup launcher... it include alot of thing too like roxterm, gparted, network wizard and remaster...

KDE surely fun and fast with puppy... even dolphin work.

however bluetooth is not installed.
hopefully it can be actually useful, like ability to install those big program for kde.

btw have you try remaster... ?

about login it should be set from
menu-system setting-login screen, but it was no go...
so the best bet is to set autologin manually...
check kdmrc in
/usr/share/config/kdm

EDIT :
successfully boot as root after editing the files kdmrc to enable root login
in
/usr/share/config/kdm

then login using
name ---> root
password --->woofwoof

btw shutdown using the kde will put you back into terminal, so its still be better to use shutdown pet.
the only difference is that now it would be possible boot into kde automatically then enter name and password...

thank again

[battleshooter]

Ahh you're awesome Master_wrong, I've been puzzling over the root login for awhile, beats me why I didn't think of googling it all this while. Nice work

Yeah, it's a pity about the shutdown not really working. Maybe it's just a config file that needs to be tweaked?

Remastering, yeah, I thought about that, but it doesn't really seem practical. I prefer SFSs that can be loaded on to the official Puppy so people can customize one Pup, otherwise people have to keep on rebooting into different Puppies to get different things done. If there's a demand though, I don't mind giving a KDE4 puppy ago. I even have name for it:

KOG -The KDE dog, because it's too slow and old to be a puppy

Sorry, that was meant to be a joke, hope that's not offensive to anyone that likes KDE4, cause I do like it myself. And the logo would have the "O" in the shape of a cog with the puppy logo in the middle

Back to topic...

Bluetooth, hmmm, not sure how to get started with that if I were to look into it. I think I have a dongle somewhere a could test with, but as I'm not even sure how to get bluetooth in regular Puppy, I don't know if I'd be the one to bring KDE bluetooth to Puppy :\

"...

..."
i think its about shutdown script from kde we should edit that or we can create boot up kde script on puppy such as :
exit from puppy desktop ----> i dont know the command
kde
shutdown

so after exit kde then the computer will shutdown.

about bluetooth... I have created blueman for 5.2, however i think the major overhaul into 528 makes the 5.2 pet useless. i will create again from source... i also will try to create the kbluetooth is possible.

yes i know puppy was meant to be small, but more option is a good thing imho.
kde-puplet... yeah that would be great if you can boot puppy and get kde desktop automatically isnt ?
i assume that the size of iso would be around 500mb then ?
or 140mb normal puppy, and 350mb sfs but with just 1 click, can change destop into kde ?

[puppyiso]

battleshooter, the megaupload is inaccessible.

Any other link(s)?

And what version of puppy can I use the KDE sfs for?

Thanks

[battleshooter]

@Master_wrong

Been fiddling with the shutdown issue. In the /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc file there is also the option to set the shutdown and reboot command. The only problem is the usual Puppy shutdown and restart commands seem to be broken in KDE4 as the scripts rely on having the window manager's name recorded in /etc/windowmanager, and I can't figure out what the windowmanager is called in KDE4. It seems it should be kwin, but kwin seems to only control the taskbar and window frames.

This also means the Pupshutdown tweak won't work :\

@puppyiso

Unfortunately, that's my only link :\ If Megaupload is still causing trouble next morning, I'll start a new upload, it will take awhile though, so sorry about that.

Edit: Good news, Megaupload seems to be running again. Still, I know it's not very reliable and annoying with the waiting time. Next time I'll try and upload somewhere else as well.

check above

also log off script
http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=24484

shutdown scripts I found the output to be

/home/mike/.kde4/shutdown/
/usr/shutdown/

A script placed in /usr/shutdown does get run when a user logs out.

K3b is easily installed from Ubuntu .deb.
The required libs are on the system already, just in the wrong place.

Haven't got Konqueror addons working yet.

Got a bit carried away and did a custom background. It translates OK to widescreen.
Now my workmates don't hang it on me when they see me boot up and a comical puppy appears.
I used Grub to hide it, and the background gives me more credibility.
Yes, I'm a traitor, I know.

[battleshooter]

Great news Master_wrong, I think I've figured out the shutdown problem. As suspected, the solution lies in /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc.

By uncommenting

[Adagio]

K3b from Oneiric.
Just discovered a write permissions issue with it, to sort out.

"Slim" cos it's running on SlimPup.

It looks particularly nice with the SlimPup icon set.

[battleshooter]

Haha oh okey, I get it now. That was a bit of a puzzle to me

Ah yeah, the permissions, hope that works out for you, that's where things got messy for me. K3B would install, but I couldn't actually get it to burn.
