I do have numlockx binary included and the binary works for me. Firstrun ie countrywizard.qs calls that binary and it should work. I think it will need Shinobar`s input about failure.
Test in console: numlockx off and numlockx on
Does it have effect to disable and enable when you have Galculator open.

Hi Pemasu,

[pemasu]

I remember that there was a lot numlock debate when Squeeze Dpup was first published. Squeeze was in testing stage at that time. Some other people might remember better and that thread is still there. I might make a look. But I remember there was problems at that time also.

Virtualbox 4.1.4 that is on sfs apps loader does not work.

[pemasu]

I believe so. It misses the kernel module for this version. I believe that I will continue to the 3.3 kernel so...not sure if it is sensible to compile kernel module for this test version. Of course if someone is interested...and compiles it..
I will upload the updates virtual box sfs to the repo.

virtualbox-4.1.10.sfs for Puppy 4.3.1 and most of Puppies 5.x including Lucid Puppy, Slacko and Dpup.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=63332&start=2
Available from http://shino.pos.to/party/bridge.cgi?puppy/opt/

It has kernel modules for 2.6.39(Dpup Exprimo 5.x.14), 3.1.10-dpup and 3.2.11-dpup.
(Detail list of the kernels: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=614318#614318)

For other kernels, you need devx and kernel source packages to build the kernel modules.
Type 'virtualbox' on a terminal after loaded the virtualbox-xxx.sfs.

Thank you Shinobar. New Virtualbox sfs has been uploaded to the exprimo repo and it replaces the previous one. Sfs Apps Loader icon picks up the updated version now.

I made a little DAW out of this, and remastered the CD, posting now from the remaster.
Isn't it fun when things just work? Made a nice recording, and the main linux
instruments and fx plugins, work as expected.

Is there a recommended .sfs or .pet to install a version of wine?

Thanks for sharing these masterpiece operating systems!

[pemasu]

I think that green_dome is your man with latest wine pets.

Hi,
Here video running on

[pemasu]

report-video is somewhat broken...at least until you run xorgwizard and probe - choose again your needed driver. Then report-video works more reliably.

I dont much trust report-video reports.

Hi,
Imho, Exprimo misses opening and display postscript .ps files
Adding forum member Panzerkopf's gv.gz script into /usr/bin solves this Download here
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=29609

To read A4 postscript pages, one needs to edit the code as shown below

[pemasu]

Thanks charlie6. I created rox right click for .ps files to open them with your shown gv ie ps2pdf papersize pipe and .....the right click should pipe the .ps file through gv and open it in evince.
