if firstrun runs on every boot just delete /root/Startup/firstrun. Sorry about that - not sure how I missed it.

If you want combo sfses, just extract them, combine them and recompress the resulting directory. Or use the sfs builder from the repo.
Anything loaded on the fly will be remembered for the next bootup. You can load as many sfses as you want and they will be remembered. |
you are corect i did. i actually edited that out removing that statement as i actually tested the one from ppm which i thought was the same. i clearly remember editing it. but also glitches happen. sorry for any confusion.
to clarify i got the wbar from ppm
i am also looking into the cario-doc suggested and comparing them.

Some ideas I have
**Could you link to the new pup here.
**also most other apps and os on forum have a separate forum post for each new release. (good ones use the puppy wikka site as the main info and links to things including new forum posts). It makes it easy to find help on the version one might have. as this post is already 135 pages long. then again you do what you feel just providing feedback.

016 update |
|
Posting from 016. Smooth bonehead update 015-016. Just mount the iso, copy the 016 Adrive, Zdrive, initrd, vmlinuz, puppy_luki files to Home (USB drive in this case), hide Adrive in my case, delete 015 files (except save) and reboot. All settings preserved ) 016 live.
firstrun deleted from /root/startup per post.
Fix on backlight control works perfectly on Dell D610, Fujitsu S6120, and IBM T60 laptops. max_brightness reported correctly in all 3. THANKS.
So far so good. Video and resolution on all 3 laptops set correctly on first boot (two intel i915 and an ATI mobility radeon X1300).
More testing later.

Updating is the same as any other pup. All files should be updated. If you had a custom adrive, just delete the saluki adrive and rename the custom one in it's place.
Links to the latest version are always in the first post. I don't expect anyone to read this whole thread - just the first post and the last few pages. I might start a new thread for the final release.

I coudn't reproduce the wbar issue on my (very fast) machine. You might be able to fix it by adding a longer delay before starting wbar.
I don't recommend cairo dock to be installed by default unless you want your puplet to only work on fast computers.

All seems nice, yes the first start popped up again, it also has a fault, country settings appears to be broken, see image.

We just need a font that covers more languages. Does anyone know of one that's easy on the eyes?
I uploaded "unifont" to the repo, but it's kind of painful to look at for long periods.
Edit: Ok it looks like just having unifont installed solves the problem - one doesn't actually need to select it for use. Great!

Manually upgraded my frugal install from 015 to 016. Other than having to reset the keyboard everything went smoothly.

It's not the font that's the problem, but the fact that en English is listed three times and a number of the others are duplicated, worst of all there is no Australian entry
Installed GL drivers then tried Assaultcube on a new save, it loaded all dependencies, runs fine

In general terms, FirstRun seems to be something of a nightmare compared to the old multi-page terminal set-up.

just want to know how you post screenshots. the automatic code provided in the forum editor does not work at all.
