Hi Simargl

I miss actually a very important hability in the system: It refuses to manage https pages because it did not found some PSM (personal security management). I find it is a major equipment for all personal linuxes (and a lot of special linuxes dedicaced to reduced functions like server etc.).

Next question is, there is no printer and no scanner! This is a thing that is admissible as you have SFS-load-on-fly. But your system needs somewhat (a SFS for printing through CUPS, Gutenprint, Xsane and Gnu-OCR; it is a little tricky because of the dependences, if I remenber right Samba as well as Gimp belong as a lot of other big things to the dependencies, and it has usually to start as demon)!

I don't find. that both, PSM included, and SFS for printing/scanner, would be somewhat that the user post install using the Arch's package manager...

Kind regards

The keyboard layout is still broken in this build.
when I type "pacman, Hi simargl, exit" in the terminal, it gives me this:
-ac0an
H5 s50arg3,
ex5t

I solved the issue by deleting the 'setxkbmap us &' entry from .start and adding a keyboard section to xorg.conf from another puppy build:

The problems with keyboard input you had are probably because numlock is on - I'm guessing you are using a laptop?

Is it my imagination or is this faster than other puppies

I created a save-file with the GUI. If I shutdown it will save right?

Hi anikin,

Thanks for reporting this, but what happens if you add this keyboard section
to xorg.conf and also leave setxkbmap us in .start. Will it then work?

You probably found it, but anyway for creating savefile go to
System->Setup ->Make personal savefile.
This will create empty savefile, to start using it you must reboot first.

I created a save file
I put it in sda6/archpup/archpup

but when I rebooted it was like a new install, all data was gone.

I looked in the directory and the save file was there

Hi

It is a great figure of ArchPup 1204 don't to use some save file and don't to disturb the user with bad little windows asking for this or that (localization, start infos for newbies etc.). The good place for such disturbing messages is under the menu under subdivision >setup or >system or >help (help would be of course important! especially if the system reacts differently as other puplets).

The second great figure of ArchPup 1204 is to be relatively empty from applications suites so users can easily use it as start point for FOREIGN LANGUAGE PUPLETS Idea

Kind regards

Hi
I see there were a mplayer installed but probably removed?

I would like to reinstall it, but if possible only the most simple version without front end. is such a version available? what is to install to have a well working system (starting by hitting in Thunar on the icone wished to be played)? There are principally youtube downloads made using the puppy youtube downloader...

or is that possible using directly flashplayer.so from /mozilla/plugins ?

Kind regards
