Nooby, I think jemimah explained earlier in this thread that single click is technically not possible.

nooby · #882 Post by **nooby** » Thu 02 Feb 2012, 19:42

oops well that is surprising almost every other puppy have it?
And I did change to it using the set up in control center or
whereever it is done. Maybe we talk about different things
I mean when one have the file manager going.
Maybe you talk about other situations?

Bert · #883 Post by **Bert** » Thu 02 Feb 2012, 20:09

Ah yes, I was thinking of the desktop.

Jemimah explained it in this post.

Magerlab's post following jemimah's is also worth reading.

My bad I should have explained that I meant
the file manager and not the Desktop or pinboard
as some name it,

Anyway often one are allowed to do two single click
after each other instead of double click.

One do a single right click and then a single left click.

That way one don't need to try and try and try and fail and
fail to make the double ones fast enough. Very embarrassing
to fail many times in a row.

Anyway she is the Boss so who am I to whine

To set the file manager to single click, open it (Thunar). Under Edit, click on preferences, Under the Behavior tab, choose Single click to activate items. I lengthen the doubleclick time to 400 or so in the Mouse control app under hardware in the control panel. These settings, plus using launchers in the xfce panel satisfy my double click aversion. To reiterate, the doubleclick on desktop is part and parcel of xfce for now. Each window manager has strong and weak points and there are pups for all tastes.

Xfce desktop is a double click only, Thunar file manager is either single or double

I like the idea with adrive. That's almost the thing about what i posted in the begining of the thread:). The "sad" thing is that puppy not always installs dependencies for certain apps.

Still no luck getting usb headsets working, still the same problem, unable to get them to play system sounds even though they appear in the xfce mixer,
the Logitech one I can hear myself in the headset and adjust levels but that's as far as it goes, they don't show in the retrovol mixer and still if I run the ALSA wizard
that kills the mixer and doesn't detect anything, this requires a reboot to get the sound back, the multiple sound card wizard doesn't run,
if I run teamspeak that works with the headsets as it has it's own sound setup utility.
This a usb stick install I wonder if that's the problem, anyone else had similar issues
It seems the multiple sound card wizard is not actuallly installed. Tman posted a pet of it here to try.

I'll add it to the next release.

I can report that adding the multiple sound card wizard fixed the problem, I now can use the usb headset's, run the app select the device and it say's to reboot, I have never found that I have to reboot, just restarting X is enough.

The included browser is Midori, which is not yet perfectly stable. I recommend you download an additional browser for primary use.

Everything on 009 boot up including sound OK
But ethernet was not automatic (this is always the first thing I need to work)
and I floundered around with the control panel and wizards
and eventually I think I got a connection with frisbee - so tried midori and got below (see image)

Gosh I am completely lost without a browser . . .
I was going to wait for 010 but it was good to see the progress.

As indicated above, Midori runs OK, albeit our angel promises to tune it some more. The big test, which you and I can easily do, but not Jem, is to load a FlashPlayer that actually runs BBC iPlayer. This has, as you know, been a festering issue over many Puppies this last six months. The culprit is Adobe, not our developers. But it is they and our testers that get lumbered with fixing it. We now know that FP v11 doesn't display iPlayer in the present Midori. At techno's suggestion, I also tested FR v9.0128. That didn't run either. If someone can provide a detailed exposition on installing the various archived FPs in .tar.gz/tar.gz2/.tar.w.h.y., I can test some more.

Saggy,

Is your failure to view BBC iplayer the only fault you have found with Midori?

Just remember to use Opera which hasn't failed you in a decade or so.

Do see the picture below and tell us about SeaMonkey's "serious" failures.

lobster,

simply using

You might need to install the glib-networking-2.30.1-i486.pet http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 463#600463

I'm running from the live dvd with a save file on an imac.

Fri 3 Feb 2012 Operating System: Saluki-009 Linux 2.6.39-ski

Lobster · #896 Post by **Lobster** » Fri 03 Feb 2012, 12:19

thanks guys for the help
Decided on another tactic, bypass midori altogether

I saved and installed Seamonkey 2.7
- posting in Seamonkey from Saluki 009

I was very pleased to see something in the package manager under "business"
(probably the first time in two years)
our commercial Puppys might have thought we have something against them . . .

Lobster · #897 Post by **Lobster** » Fri 03 Feb 2012, 15:32

been trying stuff in 009

Dia - works well
I liked having all those extra fonts - oh yeah!
The UCView web cam software recognised my webcam but no pic (a Logitech)
Fotoxx I downloaded from the PPM - seems OK
Cairo-dock (with added required library) works well but too slow if you want all the special effects - I do! I do!
- I need the ATI crystal graphic driver . . . [hint to our compilers]
I wonder if we will have PDF-cube - I have only seen this work in Fluppy and Puppeee
- great presentation program . . .

So far, so Yummy!
Woof Woof

Install the devx and kernel source sfs.
Go to http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx
Download the driver for your card.
Open the terminal and run the amd-driver-installer-12-1-x86.x86_64.run
driver:
sh amd-driver-installer-12-1-x86.x86_64.run

When it is finished do the command:
aticonfig --initial

Exit the terminal and reboot.

It even worked on my imac

Dependency checking is probably only going to work for stuff in the PPM. If there is stuff in the PPM that does not install correctly, please post so I know.

I'm going to do my best to get the PPM stocked with fun and useful stuff. So far Geoffrey, Billtoo, and Ecube have agreed to help maintain the repo. Also once Saluki gets more stable I will add a lot of stuff myself. If anyone else wants to help with the PPM just let me know.

There will be a graphical adrive builder tool that is simple enough for newbies. The tool will have also have dependency checking built in.

magerlab · #900 Post by **magerlab** » Fri 03 Feb 2012, 18:20

i experimented a bit without adrive.
xnoise showed some dependancies but when I installed them it complained for some libgst... files. I copied them from adrive but got a segfault.
