Hello !

ikaros262, no sorry, no delta file, I have build with a new Puppy base.
I prefer to avoid conflicts.

mikeslr, thanks you, I take into account the remarks.
I forget Vicmz's plugin.
For Mate, I don't know how to hide choices during the loading of the SFS.

To start lxde, don't need to unload SFS. Smil99 has the good solution :

Smil99, I updated LibreOffice 3.6.3, it's now a .pet package, and I add a missing library. I will add now languages for Libo.
LibreOffice works normaly now.

Cheers !

Hi jejy69,

Jejy69,

I installed latest lxpup to my acer aspire one happy2 netbook.

I am happy to report that Japanese input using SCIM system works ok. No problems to input Japanese texts in abiword, leafpad, Internet browsers.

I love the look of the desktop with the side panel and also the wall paper.

I encountered a problem when I downloaded chromium 2.5 and firefox 16 from your website and installed them. After installing, I cannot find the program in the launcher menu under internet.

Also, when i use pakage manager to download, it asked me to choose the folder i wish to install to. Maybe, this is a good thing because users can have a choice. But as someone who does not have enough computer knowledge, I am confused as to which folder to choose. Maybe, if you can give me ideas about which folder is the best for installing new programs to, i will be able to learn something new.

Thanks

Another thing i like to ask is will you make a retro lxpup 5.4.1 non-pae? The non pae version seems to run faster in my netbook.

Hello !
A nice week end to all!

Smil99, thanks you, first post fixed. For LiBo I made .pet package because I put pinstall.sh file in it to install correctly the software.
Is it possible to launch a pinstall.sh file in a SFS file ? I will try.
If it works, I will buils a Sfs file.
I added some language packs for Libo.

Pchan, Good new, SCIM languages work !
If you want, I added ln-JP for LibreOffice.
I just met this problem menu too. I do not know why it does not work for now.
However, I added a package on the website, which adds a menu entry.
Beside "Download" button, you have a little file "software"-menu.pet to add entry.
As usual, yes, I will build a No-Pae, I'm just taking a break.

Cheers !

Hi Jejy69

I've been using the new 1212 Lxpup over a few days so thought it time to give you some feedback - some factual - some subjective.

First of all for "vanilla" LxPup with no additional WM....

The version of Frisbee found:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=64472&start=100
is working well on this LxPup (which does not have Frisbee OOTB due to it's Precise origins).

I've managed to get both Chrome25 and LibreOffice3.6.1 working as sfs's but like other people I've struggled to get them showing in the menus - what seems to have worked for me is to go to /usr/share/applications and run them directly from the .desktop file whence they then seem to get magically added to the menu. I couldn't get the .txz version of LO3.6.3 to work.

I've been experimenting with just using the base version of LxPup rather than use the MATE add-on. The biggest drawback for me is the absence of a way to make links in PCManFM (really strange missing feature) - so I've constructed the small gtkdialog based gui attached which can be run from the menu (Filesystem -> Filesystem config) or by right clicking on the link target and using the custom command lxmklnk option just once - thereafter the utility is available from any right click.

I've notice that the rox - Rox - pcmanfm patch hasn't made it into this version so sometimes rox appears when you don't expect it to (e.g. opening sfs or 2fs files).

Now the subjective bits.....

I think you've lost some of the initial impression of elegant simplicity of the previous LxPup by providing such a heavily populated panel on the left side of the screen - I like minimalism and simplicity so I've deleted the panel and made my own on the bottom of the screen with my selection of apps.

I'm a bit surprised at how different the "new" version of Mate1.4.1 is compared to the previous version - again I feel some of the elegant simplicity of the previous version has been lost and I was really sad to find that the Places item on the upper panel - and indeed the whole upper panel had disappeared altogether.

The Mate menu's are also only showing the top level items so many facilities in sub-levels are not accessible from the menu. (previously reported I think).

Hope this helps....
Along with many others I am in awe of what you've achieved....it's GREAT!
The new website is splendid too.

Cheers

Hi peebee,

yeah add it to the end of the fixmenus script, that should fix the problem, we had the same issue with xfce and that fixed it.

I suggested it to Jejy69 here http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=654361#654361 and that worked, though it don't seem to need the icon cache updated like it did in xfce.

[Geoffrey]

peebee,

Then again it may need the icon cache updated, I just realized that I had already updated the the icon cache with a new iconset which includes LibreOffice icons, so that may be why I only needed the touch command.

Edit: I've done another test, when unloading the sfs I needed to run
