Hello Puppy community !
After some WM, i wanted to try a Qt desktop like KDE.

I propose today a little novelty in Qt for Puppy, Razor-Qt 4.1 & KDE 4.9 in one ISO, two Qt desktops...

For the first, Razor-Qt 4.1, latest version :

Quick report..... all the basics are working on initial boot (internet,display and sound) on my main Athlon XP box. More later.

Bonjour Musher0 !

I'm sorry, but I don't know what we can do for it... Confused

Martin C seems to start.

I put here MD5, maybe the ISO is corrupted... Confused

Runs OK for me, but how do you mount access drives?
Can't see HDD

i tried mount -a

But nothing in mnt

P.S. Default font looks rather tiny on my sys

the pmount app worked for drive access here.

The system, as delivered, works quite well, very fast.
I think the ubuntu entrails are a letdown, xorg refuses
to use the native 1280x1024 (same story on the new Macpup)
that works fine in Puppy Studio 1337, 3.3, dpup, bodhi etc etc

Quite a few apps that install normally in other puppies,
have missing dependencies in these (newer?) ubuntu repositories.

Nice to have a new KDE based distro, the screen is offset about
a dozen pixels to the left, probably another buntu hidden feature.

Hello !

You must use Pmount to access to yours partitions. Confused

qt/kde new release bugs will probably get fixed in a month or two, and you
can do another iso, with a more stable basis,
its a good one to keep working on. Cool

Bravo, j'espère qu'elle va marcher. Et marcher mieux que Macpup 529.
Precise 5.2.60 runs perfectly. I hope Razor will not garble it. At first glance, it's prodigious. What a desktop !

Bien, très bien (can we speak french here ?)

But, now, i will look deeper. you are on an USB key, where was Macpup 529, and macpup 529 is now in the dust bin.

I hope that the working Razor is worth its fantastic look !

Believe me Pelo - it is!! Cool

I've been enjoying it myself very much, along with Jejy's build of KDE-4.9 desktop.

However, my heart still belongs to Jejy's build of Mate on Precise-Pup. That one I have installed fully to my hard drive while all his others ( except his XFCE which I've yet to try ) are installed frugally.

He is truly a GENIUS when it comes to compiling these desktop environments and his Razor one is the very first that I've had to work flawlessly upon my computer. Vive Jejy!!! Very Happy

Amicalement/Cheers,

Precise est très bien, je n'ai pas essayé le costume LXDE, le KDE est très joli.

Mais l'intérieur de la boutique est très classique.

la tenue que je préfère c'est la XFce.

Bonne journée.

Hi Jejy69,
I'm a big admirer of your work with these windows managers, though I declare that I simply haven't had the time to test any Sad

So please feel free to dismiss my queries: Trinity was recently updated, do you think that it might provide a lighter alternative to KDE4.9 http://www.trinitydesktop.org/? Could Trinity be made into an updated SFS perhaps?
Thanks
