Running as user spot seems impossible unless you do this changes:
open file /etc/passwd and change home folder for spot from /root/spot to /opt/spot
Then make his home folder and set ownership:
mkdir /opt/spot
chown spot:users /opt/spot
su spot
Now firefox will run as user spot, but will look ugly, and no way to change theme
with lxappearance.

Hi

oui wrote:
b/ Browser comportment

I did try divers browsers and no one will proceed to connect with

localhost:631 (tragic... Cups!)
localhost:8000 (only didiwiki but it would be better to be able!)

what experience did have other users with this important detail concerning directly the ability or not to print in ArchPup?


did someone try to start Cups in his browser

alternative does someone know a(n other) way to print out in Archpup?

New Question:

c/ Texts of menu

Please step by step information what is to do to change the menu so that all dynamic functions stay preserved

(objective: change the language of course...)?

Is unicode possible (Serbian Wink for example )?

Kind regards

Archpup is a 32 bit system huh?

I tried to run it on my old IBM t42 but during boot it says
"your cpu doesnt support pae"

You cannot run archpup on older comps?

Thanks simargl will try recommended solutions when on
archpup, now on windows

1.Building tixati from AUR works fine.
Is there a similar way to download a package with pacman, Have it stored locally
and installed with pacman -U.

For example I want to download firefox and dependencies and install them with
pacman from local files?

I can download firefox with
pacman -Syw firefox --cachedir .

*EDIT*
I found out that I could get all with
pacman -Syd firefox --cachedir .

But how do you install it with pacman in a easy way?

2.Tried the offered solution on tor browser bundle. It bypasses not running as root problem,
When I figured out I had to start up localhost it runs to
Bootstrap 50% loading relay descriptors then
it hangs. Anyone come across this problem before?

3. With devx loaded I get a file exist conflict(sqllite?) when installing firefox. I just removed the conflicting files. Is this the correct procedure or can you resolve conflicts any other way?

4. How do you configure touchpad? I miss two finger scrolling.
cannot find /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf

Hi simargl

I did only resquash with archpup the file system contained in /initrd/pup_ro2,

no change!

the result is an arch-1204.sfs beeing 96 MB (yours, exactly the same, is only 73 MB).

my /root/.history :

Code:
mkdir /mnt/home
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/home
mkdir /mnt/home/archpup/pup_ro2
cp -a /initrd/pup_ro2 /mnt/home/archpup/pup_ro2
mv /mnt/home/archpup/arch-1204.sfs /mnt/home/archpup/arch-1204.sfs.ur
cd /mnt/home/archpup/
ls
mksquashfs pup_ro2 arch-1204.sfs


what is the reason?

(it is very important for people working with your new *.iso: we try to make more interesting things with it but can't compare our efforts with the original Embarassed : 20 MB and more depending only from squash method, it is more than we can thing about!)

kind regards

This is what I used
Code:
mksquashfs install arch-1204.sfs -comp xz -b 524288 -Xbcj x86


@Scooby: sqlite is inside development sfs, you don't need to install it.
See if pacman recognize it as installed with pacman -Ss sqlite. If you need
to store packages locally they are in folder /var/cache/pacman, just move
them somewhere.

I can verify that.
The problem is the included udev-175.
Adding my udev-167 pet makes the problem go away

Is the panel tint2? And also can I get it to display certain icons and not show the most recent ones and maybe have the open ones present but then go away when I close them? Kinda like the windows7/unity docks. It looks great though! And it runs really well on my Asus 1005hab. However, I am having issues booting it on my dell dimension 8400 because of some grub errors I can't figure out. Crying or Very sad

I just run some tests with booting from usb device. USB is formated as FAT32 and I used
unetbootin in windows to create bootable Live USB. It works if you don't have savefile
or if savefile is on hard disk partition. But if you create savefile on USB after reboot it gives
kernel panic !? Rolling Eyes Confused I don't know why would empty savefile make that problem.

It would appear that the problem is in the initrd.
Could you point out how the archpup initrd was made (in relation to puppy-clasic)?
My hunch is that the extra pup_roX somehow confuse probpart_init and/or busybox init, but would be good to know of any other (than the kernel) differences.

Regarding the initrd kernel modules it would also appear that is made differently (how?). Specifically is missing modules.*map that without udev in initrd can be problem when booting up.

@morgonzola: Panel is tint2, and you can add or remove launchers in /root/.config/tint2/tint2rc,
see this line launcher_item_app = /usr/share/applications/urxvt.desktop.

I will add script that was used to make ArchPup initrd.gz in attachment. Original file is from
Puppy Precise, I replaced only DISTRO_SPECS and /lib/modules/*.

Looks OK.
I run some tests and is not the init script nor the kernel.
The archsave file loads OK and get the kernel panic when it tries to load the main sfs Confused Busybox?...
