What a luvly puppy - truly superb - everything looks good so far, many thanks.

This is a keeper - only one minor mutter - no skype.

However, I'm sure there is an sfs to be found somewhere.

Thanks again for looks like an outstanding puppy - much appreciated - Ray.

Thanks, Ray!

Skype isn't really within Vinnie's scope... but try the stuff here:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=86808

I'd start with the Precise packages, and if they fail use the Lucid ones. After that I'm really not sure where to point you -- there aren't any Raring packages... but some Lucid stuff and some Precise stuff works in Upup Raring (on which Vinnie is based) so it might work.

Hope that helps!

Off topic -- I love your avatar, and I have for quite a while.

Hi Ray
Thank you for your advice.
I will try it next month.

the last saviour, I'm anxious to hear what you have to say about Vinnie here Wink

Nice Layout and lots of image-editing tools.

Only problem I could find was this
JWM desktop manager > error message when the "Tray Autohide Option" is selected to set Autohide ON.

Autohide is NOT turned on

Here to help

Thanks, gc!

That's one bug to report to Pemasu in the Upup Raring 3992 thread Wink

it's not my doing AFAIK -- I didn't tinker one bit with JWM...

I decided awhile back to just make the directory, put the files in it, then copy/paste some menu.lst lines and most pup's boot right up. VanPup didn't make the cut here. Maybe I messed up but not really. Thank you starhawk & I will hit it again tomorrow.

Might be something about Upup Raring 3992 Wink

after all, that's what Vinnie's based on -- just as IIRC it says on the tin Razz

If it persists, probably be a good idea to report it to pemasu... just sayin'...

Well I hope you don't expect me to test absolutely everything Razz

at that rate there'll never be a Vinnie RC2!

...actually, on that note...

I let gc talk me into something Razz

(@gc -- just ribbin' ya a little, don't take it personally) that's gonna possibly be in a 2nd release of Vinnie, and I'm waiting on him to get that info to me, see if I want to include it. (I'm also an ace procrastinator, so please take your time, gc!)

Hi Ray
I think it doesn't work at all.
I only use Puppy 5.xxx version.
So Van Goh doesn't like animation too.

the last saviour, could you be more specific as to what trouble you're having?

Thanks,

As a Puppy user for a long time now, it was a long waiting before i came across a PuppyOS dedicated to graphic apps. I don't know yet Lightzone, but i look forward to try it with some Raw files of mine.
I hope it is to stay around for newcomers to Puppy Universe in years to come, who enjoy working with photographs.
Music fans have their studio version, now we may have our graphic version for all of us who are in visual arts and enjoying Puppy OS.

Cheers!

Now, if only there were a sensible way of getting the latest Krita shoehorned in there. Wink

Probably not -- it sounds like it'd bring the rest of KDE with it, and I'd rather not do that -- but give MyPaint a whirl, maybe you'll find it an acceptable substitute Wink
