Home: http://www.nongnu.org/ratpoison/ Version: 1.4.3
To start, log out and type
Basic commands: Ctrl-T + c = creates a new terminal Ctrl-T + n = shows the next window Ctrl-T + k = closes the actual window Config file is /root/.ratpoisonrc Manpage is at /usr/share/doc/ratpoison/ratpoison.1.html For help on keystrokes type Ctrl-T + ? Online-Doc is at http://www.nongnu.org/ratpoison/doc/ Added setting in .ratpoisonrc Ctrl-T + a = Clock and Calendar Ctrl-T + y = Directinput for commands Ctrl-T + b = Directinput for url opens defaultbrowser with url Ctrl-T + f = Directinput for searchword opens pfind with searchresult All input/output will be through the status bar at the upper right corner. Works with rox-desktop, but as windows are always fullscreen, this does only 'help', if no window is opened. Does not work well with a panel like fbpanel. Cheers aragon

Thanks, but I can't get it to work on the Acer Aspire One. This has Openbox as the wm. It installed ok, but when I exit to a prompt (control-alt-backspace) and type "xwin ratpoison" BOTH wm's start at once, creating a non-functional mess that needs power-off to stop. I need to find out how to prevent Openbox from starting. Heyho... Gerry |

also check /etc/windowmanager and type the WM you want to run like jwm icewm-sessions openbox etc then just restartx server and your new window manager will run. ttuuxxx _________________ http://audio.online-convert.com/ <-- excellent site http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/A-codecs/ <-- Codec Test Files http://html5games.com/ <-- excellent HTML5 games

old thread, solution might be that fbpabel/lxpanel are directly called from xinitrc if installed. open
near end of file
change only line if [ "$CURRENTWM" .... to
save and restart X. Maybe this helps. aragon _________________ PUPPY SEARCH: http://wellminded.com/puppy/pupsearch.html |

So here I am a few years on using precise, looking for a little change and stumbled across this pet. Downloaded fine, installed fine, and here I am using it now 
If anyone knows where one can get a pet of the latest version that would be great, not that I have a reason for needing it :/ _________________ er.. I should write my pc specs here, I'm forever forgetting my video card specifics  |

Just tried this new 1.4.6 pet in precise 5.6 and it seems to work good. Thanks aragon.
I'm by no means a power/knowledgeable user, so if there's a way I can test it other than just general use be sure to let me know. |
