Hi, lvds,
Thank you so much for your testing and support!
-Which ones would you suggest updating?


you replied below ... I was thinking at a whole update but somehow you're right, if you like it this way it's a good choice Smile
Embed of the composer was a great idea, that opens a large door to the gaming world, but it also often requires updated drivers so it may be a good idea to release new versions and follow Barry release cycle Smile

-You're right, Firefox is pretty outdated. It functions pretty well at 4.0, and the update is colossal and would cause the ISO size to go way up. To be honest, I am more of a chrome fan anyway, but I love them both and Firefox just works and updates very easily within the browser if desired. I will consider updating it. Thank you!


According to your choices, the latest Firefox ESR (long term support) would be the best choice, though I don't recall if it's available somewhere in the depots...

-To enable the window labels, open the Openbox theme manager, go to "appearance" on the left, and there you can add or remove parts of the window decoration. Add an "L" for the window labels. Or anything else you would like to add or remove.


yep I found it also a few hours after my post, great feature Very Happy

-You are correct that you cannot make the wallpaper simply one color. This is a limitation of Nitrogen, unfortunately. Although if you really wanted it black, you could edit a config or two, but that's not very intuitive, now, is it? xP It was originally solid black by default, but people didn't like that very much. I may just add solid-colored wallpapers to the default soon. Thank you for this feedback.

Unfortunately, I do not plan to move up to 5.5. I have grown very attached to 525, hahaha. Maybe someday if 525 ever becomes obsolete. It would be quite a challenge though. You'd be surprised how many specific little libraries or scripts I've placed in there to make everything the way it is. Thank you! Smile


yes I'm sure ! Shocked ...would be worth to include a large choice of conky scripts and even a great setup tool so we could place nice things on the desktop. I found the widgets maybe a little too much, but some conky scripts would be awesome here and fit perfectly the openbox design Wink Great work Cool

Actually, if you look at Settings>Appearance, there is a little program I made with yad to change between 5 conky configs I made. Smile

A very Great job to include my favourite Google Chrome browser. I really hope that all the other puppy derivatives can do the same, that is, include both Firefox as well as Google Chrome these 2 browsers as the default. You know internet connection and browsing is the most important activities nowadays.

Hi, sheepy.

I just created a new pet for pekwm-0.16. I'm itching to test it on your slimpup, but would it be heresy to do so? Another way of saying this: would the slimpup structure be "allergic" to another wm, especially a close "cousin" like pekwm?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Thank you! I find Chrome and Firefox to each serve specific purposes better than each other. In my opinion, they are very complimentary.

Hmmm, that's an interesting question. It should work properly if there are no dependency issues. In fact, it should actually be easier to get going than in other puppies because the rox pinboard has been removed from .xinitrc, leaving Openbox to single-handedly draw the desktop. If you installed PekWM, exited X, and restarted X using it instead of Openbox, that should work. I would edit the configs for your PekWM menu before exiting X though, so it wouldn't be funky when you start it up. Razz

Hi, sheepy.

Reporting success using pekwm-0.1.16_git on SlimPup ! Smile
Only stumble was making some executables executable... (mea culpa as packager).
Menu creation went without a glitch with the built-in pekwm menu builder.

Aside from that, well, you can't change the backdrop in SlimPup, can you?

BFN. Have a great day!

The backdrop? Like the wallpaper? It can be done with the included wallpaper manager, Nitrogen.

HI, Sheepy.

Nitrogen, eh? Ok then. Some of the programs you offer in SlimPup are entirely new to me, which makes it all the more interesting.

I almost forgot: SlimPup can be localized. The latest French localization package by esmourguit works fine on it. I thought I'd mention it, in case other Francophones want to give SlimPup a try.

BFN.

I know this is a bit down the road from the original post but I have just gotten my internet back up after moving last year. I'm trying to catch up on things in Puppyville, a few deriv's and such, and have been checking out SlimPup today.

I used Yumi to make a USB boot via Syslinux. I have done this on several Puppies so far and things work great. However, this is the first time that I have not been able to do a save file at reboot. It goes through the usual procedure until the "yes,save file/change folder/don't save" choice. When I choose "save" it goes to a blank screen that reads "session not saved" and then reboots the computer. I am trying to save this on my second hard drive, which I usually do. Would it make any difference if I burnt SlimPup on a cd, booted up and installed it to my USB stick?

One other thing...I probably should know this by now...where does an app go when I minimize it? Can't see it as there is no bar for it to display on.

All-in-all, I really like this over the others I have checked out recently. I did have high hopes with MacPup 550 but got lots of problems. I have been using SnowPuppy 020 for the past year now but I think your SlimPup may be my next user!

Hi Sheepy,

Your SlimPup is great. Thanks a lot for it.

One question is how to show all opened windows if i don't have a mouse with middle button or if i just use the touchpad ?

I am a newbie... so.. sorry for this trivial question.

Hi Sheepy
Here is what i did to add a network printer:
I ping my HP LaserJet 5000n printer, and it is ok. 0% packet loss.
Then, right-click -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Hardware tab -> Printer setup
then the CUPS 1.4.3 at localhost:631 prompted out.
then i clicked the Administration tab on the webpage, it returned 404 Not Found
then i went previous page.
then i clicked the "Adding Printers and Classes" links; it also returned 404 Not Found
The printer is at my bedroom and not directly connected to any pc on my home network

what shall i do to make this work ? thank you !

Hi Sheepy,

This looks like a pretty nice distro but I have 1 issue and one additional thought:

I am having trouble connecting to WiFi with a Netgear N-150 USB so I couldn't really get the full effect of the distro.

I noticed you have 3 web browsers which probably take up some valuable space. Can I suggest you only having one as default and providing the others as add-on pets?

Best regards,

Slavvo67

The menu, please... could you list the menu because link is garbled or is towards a japanese or chinese language. Before downloading 400 mb, just to get an idea. Many thanks, sir.
