Thanks Crshbndct ill check it out Smile

Pupsave config is a tool that allow you to modify a savefile that will be created when you shutdown. So it does not matter that the screen is black on shutdown since the savefile process is now automated

its an awesome tool

Subject description: KDE backgrounds		  
Hi TazOC,

Weird problem with changing backgrounds with KDE WM. Most backgrounds are showing size 0x0 except stripes and a few others. I tried to switch backgrounds and got a black background. Other than black, only stripes and a few others can be applied. All backgrounds show up properly in /usr/share/backgrounds directory. Ideas?

Incidentally, even though LH 64 5.12 is a beta, it's already moved to the top of my menu.lst file so that it's the only OS to be automatically booted.

Regards,
Jim

I have a question simply for some understanding. @Einar help me with these, please,
  1. Was this a desktop or laptop with the bad drive?
  2. Was the media used a CDR or CDRW or DVD-R or DVD+R or DVDRW?
  3. When you created the Live media from ISO did you create a Multi-session media?
  4. Was the device an IDE or a SATA device?
  5. Was it a CD or a DVD reader or writer or combo?
Again, this is just for my personal use as I ONLY run Live media based systems and this information is extremely helpful to me.

Thansk in advance

Unlike previous Lighthouses, all you need is the base iso plus 4-KDE-4.6.5-x86_64-L1.sfs KDE Desktop Environment. Also In order for the KDE Disc Burner, K3b to recognize and use a suitable CD/DVD/Blu-ray drive, gvfs or another Glib2 vfs manager must be installed, followed by a reboot. Therefore for full function you need both KDE and Gvfs-1.8.1-x86_64.sfs.

Hi, this lighthouse is working, nVidia9400 GTS, ,usb 3G modem, athlon dual core.
The savefile setup would not work, just went to a white screen, no matter how I shut down, but installing pupsaveconfig worked, although behind the same white screen, no visible feedback. Thanks for the work you put into a 64 bit distro, it's a pleasure use, the way you have it set up! Smile

Some trouble: I chose to save main .sfs file to the folder where the
savefile is, and now, when I boot, I get a kernel panic. So I deleted the .sfs
file, and still get the kernel panic when booting. I can post the feedback, if you would find it helpful.
Cheers

Hello Tazoc,

Although I was surprised and delighted to see my name on your website, please remove the thanks to me for Shinobar's sfs load on the fly, for I am undeserving of it. I had nothing to do with that great app other than asking you to include it in your puplet. Also, Pemasu was the one who made the patched version; not me.

I am downloading your new puplet during the time of this post and am looking forward to trying it out.

Hello Tazoc,

thanx for this great distro!

I have bugs with cyrillic characters in Libre Office,and I would like that text in Libre Office looks more clearer and bigger,just like in Abi Word.
In Libre Office,most cyrillic texts are well displayed,but not so crisp and readable like in Abi Word.
Second problem is problem with Abi Word. Some word document writen in cyrillic letters are not readable in Abi word.
And just to ask,is there any chance for Seamonkey 2.3.3 64 bit in repos ?
And Firefox 6.02....
Thanx!
