Adding 'defaults-chooser' would be a very useful addition. Cool

The latest version is here:
Defaults Chooser 0.8.8
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=735078#735078

I am testing now. Twisted Evil

Edit:
So far seems to be working for me. V 0.8.8

What is this program suppose to do Question

Menu->Graphic->Pictureviewer drag and drop images

I can run it, but nothing seems to happen.
It opens, you drag an image to it, and nothing happens.

Sure does not work as a default image viewer.

Edit:
For .png image files only.
Still do not know what it really is used for.

For me, it is nothing I need.

I am uploading the 20131120 version of the lupu 5.2.8.6 ISO files. They contain all of the fixes discussed since the 20131114 versions.

This time, I have also updated the update history for both 20131114 and 20131120.

The history and link to the download site are here:

The direct link to the downloads is:

I hope this wraps it up, but am open to further essential fixes. Thank you to all who contributed, directing me to the updated packages.

UPDATE:
Oops! I missed the final pfbpanel update.

Re-uploads complete.

Here is Slimboat 1.1.43, prepared by OscarTalks with the addition of the file that sets it as defaultbrowser in Lucid. It starts up more quickly than Firefox and is the only alternative to FF/Seamonkey for those who want to use a latest version browser in Lucid (Opera 12.16 does run but has a serious problem in throwing beaucoup error messages) . Adblocker included. Nice package imho.

There is one little glitch unfortunately, not serious, maybe they will fix it next version if it is not peculiar to Lucid. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=738176&search_id=471961491#738176

OscarTalks also has two versions of Skype 4.2.0.11 for Lucid If a few could test I could put it in the repo.

Lupu-20131120

Thank you rerwin!

rerwin,

Thank you very much for doing this update to Lupu (Lucid Puppy) Exclamation

Are you going to update Lupu3HD to the 20131120 changes?

I have to use Lupu3HD to have a driver for my USB wireless network adapter.
The Linux kernel that is in normal Lupu 5.2.8.6 will not support it.

think this may be the reason, as stated here by tempestuous.

Seems the slight difference, in the Linux kernel, in Lupu3hd, is a factor in support for this needed driver.

bigpup,
Re 3HD and sulu: Yes, I intend to upgrade them, too, probably next week, as I am distracted for the next 2 days. Also, I would like to wait a bit for any "fallout" from the latest version, in case there is more to fix.

Regarding those later kernels, I am frustrated that lupu cannot access recent versions of SFS files, as in Precise pup and slacko. I understand that the issue is a capability that appeared in the later kernels but is not backport-able to lupu. But is it available in the kernels used by 3HD and sulu? If so, can anyone versify whether those pups can access precise's main SFS file? Or is there more we need in those lupus to make it work?

I have uploaded new versions of the "experimental kernel" versions of lucid pup 5.2.8.6, as 30131124. The only differences from the 20131120 versions are the addition of the 'usb-devices' script, needed to obtain USB device information in lupusuper and later kernels, and the update of the browser home page to link to Barry's new blog.

To change the blog link in the 20131120 lupus, enter the following command in a console window:

Maybe this also has something to do with sfs file mounting.
