5x15 appears to handle Twitter better than 5x14.

No idea why.

I use frugal Exprimo 5x15 as the default Pupplet on my T60 Lenovo lappie, 2GB RAM.

Forget "mobile office" - this is my universe-in-a-box.

I need to work out default app file management with automatic FF upgrades - there's a tute somewhere I guess, but I haven't found it yet.

We have only laptops and netbooks here which handle all famaily and business apps.

Other than a couple of old ones temporarily dedicated to educational apps for the children (they use MS versions of windows so are not allowed on the Internet) -- all of the others use only Puppy Linux.

5x15 has a couple of real helpful apps in Network that were not in 5x14 -- perfect timing as I just hooked a 1.5TB HDD to the router and needed to sort out the addressing.

To avoid cross-posting I will just link as I realized that the thread was for Puppy Lucid 5.2.5 and my interest is here on Exprimo:

This is the reply I received -- is there an obvious and simple solution?

PYTHONPATH or PATH variables can be defined in /root/.bashrc file

PATH=$PATH:<python bin path>:<python lib path>

..and so on

OR if you don't wish to change the PATH environment variable, set the PYTHONPATH

PYTHONPATH=<python bin path>:<python lib path>

PS: import errors are generally caused by bad installations, path descriptions ..blaming puppy for the same aint right.

I use slacko by the way and i just have to download the python 2.6++pygtk,pygobject,pyqt.pet to get started.not sure if works for Dpup or not

Ooops! ..Greetings to all

Thanks for the python reply!

You are talking over my head ... where my eyes don't glass-over my mind reminds me that every time I try to change things I break them. Embarassed

Could someone write a python-PET for dpup/exprimo which makes the necessary changes to paths for python-related apps?

Might there be many python apps that users would like access to but which fail the same as this one?

Is there any reason that the Acer Aspire One A0722-0369 11.6" Netbook would not be a good match to 5x15 and/or the upcoming 5x16?

I have a Samsung NB30 but it's beginning to sag under the load.

The Acer has a 1 GHz AMD C-60 dual-core processor, what is supposed to be a better integrated video processor, and may be upgraded to 4G of Ram.

$299. seems like a really good price.

WDYT?

I am reconsidering - I think I may save-up and buy a power-laptop/notebook rather than another netbook.

Although I really like the portability I need the power and speed more.

The difference is $299. for a netbook and $600. for a power notebook.

I am trying out Dpup Exprimo 5.X.15 [from squeeze-5.X.15-SCSI.iso].

Running a frugal install on USB I have not been able to use a heavily encrypted save-file squeezesave_crypta-***.2fs.

While I can open the save-file [using the password], the same password is not recognised while trying to boot the Dpup Exprimo system.
No problem using an unencrypted save-file.

Have others experienced the same problem?

Machine P4, USB ext2 partition, Grub4Dos multi-boot.

Yes I have exactly the same problem with dpup exprimo 5.x.15
A heavy encrypted savefile cannot be accessed any more afterwards.
I found a .pet (on this thread, or on another thread, I forgot where it was) that should fix this problem, but it didn't help.

I found the pet which bruno has mentioned and installed it as described i.e. before creating a fresh, heavy encrypted save-file.

It has not helped, the password is still not recognised.

I have noticed your problems with heavy encryption when using usb savefile. But...I dont know the reason to the problem. That losetup-FULL binary fix has been implemented. One bug has been trashed...so the problem lies somewhere else.
If none can provide any insight, I am quite clueless atm.

I dont use encryptions with savefiles, so I dont even have much experience with them.

I tried Sylpheed in the past and found it far too primitive.

This sounds encouraging & perhaps might be paired with Iron?
