LxPup : a Puppy with LXDE as its desktop environment Subject description: Derivatives of various SPup's and Upup's descended from LxPup13.01 - the Puppy equivalent of Lubuntu |

"The Puppy equivalent of Lubuntu...." - >275,000 downloads from 183 countries as of 19-mar-2018
Watch a YouTube Introduction to LxPup 21mins
See this post for LxPup-s (Slackware-14.1 flavour)
See this post for LxPupXenial (Ubuntu flavour)
LxPupSc (a Woof-CE build based on Slackware-Current) has its own thread
LxPup64 (64bit version) has its own thread
LxPup is a version of Puppy using the LXDE desktop environment and is an updated “descendent” of Jejy69’s LxPup13.01
LxPup uses the components from LxPup-by-SFS added onto the Slacko, Precise, Tahr & Unicorn bases using the Woofy0.91 and Edit-Initrdgz-1.4 tools
LxPup offers Openbox as it’s window manager, LxPanel as it’s panel manager and PCManFM as it’s file manager.
Optional enhancements to the desktop are available via the Options button on the Change Appearance menu item. (add a top panel or wbar, add extra right click options, add desktop drive icons and support for floppy disks).
Feedback is welcomed
Cheers

Watch Reviews.....
p.s the sfs in the iso is xz compressed
p.p.s use the {devx} links to download the devx sfs's as the Sfs Manager does not show them
If you would prefer to install just OpenBox and LxPanel onto your Puppy instead of the full LXDE (i.e. retaining Rox as the file manager) then try OpenBoxPlus from Vicmz.

I suppose this is made with permission from Jejy69
But LxPUP home page doesn't mention new release

I did a manual frugal install to a 16gb SDHC card.
video-info-glx 1.5.1 Sat 12 Oct 2013 on LxPup 13.10 Linux 3.4.52 i686

Updated wiki
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/LxPup
The numbering scheme is potentially confusing. Was LxPup14 a beta?
Also is the journal dead?

- yes.
The website belongs to Jejy69.....
Thanks.
LxPup14 was declared final by Jejy69 I believe and was a more radical change from trad Pups in that he had moved away from ppm to gslapt as the package manager...but his website only offers 13.01 and 13.04Beta6. 14 is however available on sourceforge. http://sourceforge.net/projects/checkmatelxde/files/
LxPup13.10 is numbered from the 10th month of the 2013th year and is more of a successor to LxPup13.01 I believe.
LxPup13.10 is smaller at 177MB because it comes with a different selection of "eye candy".
Hope this is OK.
Cheers
peebee

I moved my SDHC card to another pc that also has an Nvidia card, I had
to go through choosing the driver etc again but it's working fine.
X Server: Xorg Driver: nvidia
X.Org version: 1.12.4
dimensions: 3360x1080 pixels (871x277 millimeters)
depth of root window: 24 planes
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
server glx version string: 1.4
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GTX 560 Ti/PCIe/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 4.3.0 NVIDIA 319.60
I couldn't find any option in the menus to add workspaces so I clicked
on obconf in PCManFM and added 2 more workspaces,the panels were lost
temporarily but restarting the wm fixed it.
I'm enjoying this pup and still trying stuff out, thanks for your new
iso.

Hello peebee,
A very nice Slacko derived puplet. Congratulations! I'm sure Jejy69 is proud that his work and influence is carried forth. Who is this smargl7 bloke anyway? Never heard of him.
One Q.. is your compiz sfs compatible?
One annoyance (and this is one for the PCman devs, not you). When you mount a drive in the file manager and it happens to be the only tab open, on dismount PCmanfm closes. Would be more intuitive for incomers if it defaulted to $HOME instead of closing. I might raise it with them.
TBH, I think this interface is the future (ha... yes, there is probably puppy a future, and if not a puppy like future) given that JWM, while very light on resources, does look aged, no matter how tasteful the theme is, and that rox seems to be approaching its "use by" date, given that no development has happened in 4 years, apart from essential bugfixes.
Obligatory screeny...

Hi peebee,
I am downloading as I type this out. It sounds like you did a great job on this. I am very sure that Jejy69 would be pleased.
I too have enjoyed his work, Now it will be yours as well. Well be testing soon.
Cheers

Hi peebee,
Thank you very much for this pup!
I was beginning to think about saying farewell to puppy linux, given the current situation, but your Lxpup changed my mind
I had tried your -by-sfs's, but always ran into problems. ( bastard puppies: half jwm, half lxde) (and half bert's clumsiness )
This Puppy just works, and elegantly.
One little thing, I changed the title bar in /usr/bin/lxp-shutdown:
to:
This is a lovely Puppy
Gratefully,
Bert

Hi Bert
Glad you're enjoying the new iso...
I did know about the window title (it also applies to the Appearance changer window BTW) - it is a consequence of the way I built the iso using the LxPup-by-SFS components directly. I'll bear it in mind to change properly in the future.
Cheers
peebee
