Hello,

Lxpup 13.04 Beta 2.1 is available for download :

Hello !

News:
-Kernel updated: 3.8.4 No pae. Based on Pemasu's work.
-Removed Applications:
Abiword/gftp/leafpad/galculator/htop/xchat/firefox/homebank/gnumeric/
They can be found in the repositories.
-Repository ( mine ) changed:
Gnome 3.6 ( Classic session only for now ) and cie available. Abiword 2.9.4 recompiled, it doesn't need dependencies, spacefm, grisbi...
For Gnome 3.6, be careful, it's not light, and need to upgrade some dependencies. I'll upgrade all critical dependencies in the next version ( glib, glibc, pango, cairo, atk, gtk...)
-Defaut repositories defined.
-Bootscreen changed.
For Gnome applications ( Totem, evince, nautilus etc...), I haven't finished dependencies files, but if you want I created 'gnome-meta-package' to get a full installation of this desktop, but some dep'll no be updated. Take a look.
Please, don't hesitate if you get issues, for Gnome, I can help you. Only Gnome-shell doesn't work for now.
( Beta 2 had an issue with some firmwares ).

#################################################################################

This is the time of the beta 1!
The program:
Update lxde components, lxpanel 0.5.12, improved menu yet ...

This version is based on Slacko 5.5 and one of the big novelty is the replacement of ppm with Gslapt / slapt-get / pkgtool, the slackware / salix's tools.

Why Gslapt ?
You can make your deposit,
Dependency management,
Packets can be upgraded/downgraded
Better compression,
More packages !
Add more repos
Installing from the command line like apt-get!

For now, based on Slacko 5.5 PAE, I needed this module to compile faster.

Cheers,

OK, this ISO is smaller than the Gnome one, so I'll try an 'astuce'. I'll use the UC browser on my phone, I'll save the ISO to my temporary-file-station at Udisk, and then download it to my SD card. Laughing

This is great fun. I hope you release a CheckMate for the upcoming Slacko 5.3.4 also, please. The LXDE desktop is snappy, clean,and fresh, and is under development and testing by many people in the Linux community. The Qtweb browser is also very snappy, no spell check though--but any other browser could be added--there are even bookmarks--and it might be all that many people need. Oddly, it did not automatically connect to my ethernet connection as Slacko 5.3.3 does. And oh yeah, I can't find Lxterminal.

Is this puppy based on Lucid or Slacko?

...Is there a .pet for Lilyterm? Because LXterminal doesn't do it for me.

Can't get wifi working on Checkmate.

I've tried Frisbee, Simple Network manager and Network manager.

Wifi always worked before on other puppies. :/

CheckMate v2 released !

@Gnuxo : based on Slacko 5.3.3
I look for Wifi, I think it is fixed in V2.

@ playdayz : Slacko 5.3.4 ? Of course! Wink

But I prefer to wait a beta version from 01Micko.
I try to solve the network problem, but I do not know what can cause this malfunction ... Lxsession maybe ?

Here's a suggestion.

Since, in some cases the games don't matter and the puppy is called checkmate.

It would be nice if the only game included was a chess game. It would make sense.

I've always liked QTweb. It's nice.

I'll try out Version 2.

I managed to get wifi working on Checkmate by the way.

The issue was Frisbee. Frisbee was malfunctioning for some reason.
...And once you install Frisbee, it won't let you go back and use the simple network manager. I didn't do a save file so I rebooted and didn't install frisbee and the wifi worked.

I was actually expecting nm-applet. Thank you for not including it. Nm-applet is terrible with LXDE, it disconnects every second.

I prefer the default puppy network things.

...And I actually like Lilyterm better then LXterm because it has so many customization options compared to Lxterm. And is still very lightweight.

...So I really don't care if Lxterm isn't there because I'd have installed Lilyterm anyway.

Don't mean to spam the thread but there is a very strange glitch with v1 and bash.

Every terminal gives a strange syntax error. Confused

@ playdayz : This will be done with Slacko 5.3.4. Wink

@ Gnuxo : Good news! I'm glad the system works!
Indeed, Frisbee seems to work on any of my spin ...
Yes, good idea, do you know a chess game in Puppy?
In V2, lxterminal will be already present. Smile
