Polarpup-005 with Qt4-4.8.0 and Gstreamer libs inbuild
All my puplets have easy xbindkeys tool and in menu > utility > Xbindkeys Config tool.
I have added generic laptop support with it. Customizing is also easy with it. Just play with it.
About Asus EEE netbooks. At my early Snow Puppy building time there was still Asus EEE netbook puplet Puppeee which was specialized to them.
I didnt have need to study that thread much. Also...I dont have EEE netbook so I cant do any tests.
It would be easier for me....if somebody knows the spesicif need of some kernel module. I can lend my hand to compile it and help to configure it if needed like kernel module for fan control.
But...right now I dont have time to study what spesific needs there are for EEE netbooks. I am going to pack whole evening and tomorrow I leave to Lapland for a week. We could start this conversation again when I am back.

Sorry to bother with a stupid question!!!
Hi I am used to programming in Visual Studio in Windows XP and slowly moving to Linux for my developments (i do prototypes)
I am not so familiar with all the techs but i really love puppy ( i currently have Puppy 5.3 slacko installed)
You seem very active and i want to try your cold puppys but if you can spare some time i have a dumb question on qt4 and grab some of your brains if you permit
I downloaded qt4 pet file and it seems to install fine, then I search for executables and find only the qtconfig and some qt assistant but no qt creator?
Do i need to execute a make command of some sort to run or have i missed some instructions (which i have searched for)
I appreciate your time and your reply...
Thanks for your nice work Emmanuel

Hmm....you possibly mean that there is no wireless icon in tray. That usually happens if the frisbee-tray loads before your wireless kernel module has been loaded and the wireless is ready for action.
Open /root/Startup/frisbee-tray file and add as first line:
sleep5
and save the file. To be paranoid, add: sleep 10
but that is extreme measure, but I have used it as generic solution.
If you mean something else, you need to elaborote your meaning more.

I mean to say that, we saw LAN eth0 Activity Icon in Taskbar by default in All Puppies (where the two small monitors shows the upload and download speed of LAN).
Hope U got my point. Sorry for inconvenience.

Now I got it, I think. You mean network_tray. I dont include it to my builds.
But...this should work:
http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_pa ... -2.4.3.pet

Hi Pemasu:
I am still enjoying Polarpup-005 on my Thinkpad R60 laptop. Lately Firefox was updated automatically to version 10. It is working OK. However, the flash player was not updated and FF is now incompatible with this old version of Flash player. How can I update the flash player? Polar 005 doesn't have a "get flash player" tool built in. Could you please help.
Thanks!
P. S., BTW, I also enjoy Snow puppy 014 (best fit) on my older Thinkpad 600X.

Try this pet. I dont know if something is missing. but you know soon.
Install the pet and launch in console: getflash
That way you know if it errors and it give you some error message which you can post if it does not work.

Now I do not have any Flash player at all. The installed one is apparently removed when I ran the getflash.
Thanks!
I dont get an idea what didnt work from that code post. But I will create a pet for you which installs the latest flash. As you know....it was not intentional that you lose your existing flashplayer and dont get newer one.
I will boot Polarpup soon also and check which version of getflash works with it and if Polarpup needs some missing fix.

I did not mean to say that you caused the removal of old Flash player. Of course not! Sorry if my note implied as such.
I believe it is a good idea to re-examine Polar 005 with FF 10. There might be a need for some minor fixes and upgrading. Polar 005 for my Thinkpad R60 is a jewel and I seriously do not like to lose it. It is as if it was built exclusively for this laptop.
FYI, I have been testing your exprimo puppies up to the latest x.13 and like them as well. The only reason I never install them is because of my desired application namely Kmymoney which I use on daily basis and as you know requires a lot of dependencies in Exprimo.
Thanks again.
Okay. I believe you have the flashplayer installed and updated to the latest. It just is non functional without my firefox-fix pet.
Uninstall the previous flashget pet and install this new one. It has the version I use in dpup exprimo. It works. I have tested it in polarpup and I post from it with firefox 10 and latest flash.
You can launch it...it takes some time before the box appears. It shows if you have flash installed and the version also. If not...it tells you that. Install flash if it shows you dont have flash and after installation close the box.
Install also the firefox-fix pet. Close all firefox sessions and then launch firefox again. It should now work with latest flash.
So...the incompatibility comes from firefox 10 and latest flash. They need some arrangement.

+1 marco07 - Polarpup-005 is my "go to" OS on my T60 widescreen. (I have about 6 installed for dual-booting.) I reckon we should approach Lenovo to have their ThinkPad models renamed "ThinkPemasu".marco07 wrote:Hi Pemasu:

I'm running FF8.0.1 on it at the moment, to no end of grief as everyone can relate to "using" the FF8 and FF9 series. I've held off upgrading (?) to FF10 and instead went with your Qupzilla pet, pemasu. What a revelation! Works just like FF used to (without add-ons), with other performance surprises under the hood.
My only reservation is that the navigation icons aren't called up properly, and there is a minor issue with the boxing for text entered into the address and search bars. I mentioned the issue on sc0ttman's 'Akita' thread and he suggested a library update - but I'm hazy on the details. Could I ask you take another look at compiling that again for PolarPup, pemasu? Also, adding jemimah's latest Frisbee would be a huge bonus, when that happens,
Cheers!

Thanks pemasu - that is most appreciated, even given that Qupzilla is in early development, your QT environment would seem to be perfect for it - from what I understand.
I was using your Wine pet earlier today, and the old Win/Mac gold-standard statistics program, "StatView 5.01", on it. It's "abandonware" nowadays, but you can find copies of it still on those filesharing sites (?) I am yet to find StatViews' equal, without having to upgrade heavily to 'R'. The PolarPup+Wine environment was rock-solid, thankyou!
P.S. After I posted about using PolarPup005 on the T60 this morning, I was checking Qupzilla for breaks etc. I noticed that it spontaneously crashed when the user was trying to change preferences. Something to look out for in the recompile, perhaps?

Firefox-fix pet fixed the issues. It all Ok now.
Thanks a lot Pemasu!
No problems, pemasu - certainly don't rush on my behalf. Works better than FF8 as it is!
