Setup pet for woof-ce built Slacko 5.7

#81 Post by peebee »

Here is the setup pet for the Slacko5.7 test builds (woof-ce builds).

Many thanks to 01micko for the system-tray fix for LxPanelX as I would have been very sad to have to stop using it.

I've changed the background to a lighter one as the new tray icons for battery and sound do not work on a dark background.

Cheers

fix for 13.11

#82 Post by Volhout »

Hi PeeBee,

Will you incorporate this fic also in 13.11 (or 13.12 / 14.01) ?
Or do you plan to work on a Slacko 5.7 release with LXDE ?

Hi Volhout

I will track the Slacko 5.7 pre-releases to check that the LxPup can be built - the pet above being the first change needed for the new woof-ce builds - and then will make a new LxPup iso - probably 14.01 I would imagine - when Slacko 5.7 is released.

see: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 759#746759

LxPup13.11 on Slacko5.6 does not require the changes.

Im using it with Quirky Tahir, it's very nice thanks

I had a slight problem where if you open up several programs the clock goes off the screen because the taskbar gets bigger, instead of making the program icons smaller.

Also it seems to do something to the command line because when I try to compile something it complains about the arguments

The lxpupsetup pet for Quirky-Tahr has been re-uploaded....

#slenkar - I don't see your panel tab problem with LxPup - have you changed any panel settings?

Checked Q-T - no problem there either.....

Don't believe so....if you can give more details of what you are trying to do and what problems you are experiencing I might be able to duplicate and investigate....

I assume it's the Quirky-Tahr pets you are using? Have you tried your problem task on vanilla Q-T without the lxpup pets?

Quirky Tahr pets updated to LxPup14.03 state

#91 Post by peebee »

Updated 19-mar-2014

Install LxPup onto Quirky Tahr using these pets:

1. lxpup_quirky_tahr-14.03.pet

2. lxpupsetup_qirky_tahr-14.03.pet

If you have the previous pets installed, use the Puppy Package Manager to uninstall first the setup pet and deactivate LxPup then the main pet before loading the new pets. If you have made any serious panel changes it might be wise to save the changed config files before doing the uninstall/reinstall (from /root/.config/lxpanelx/LXDE/panels)

Cheers

Very nice, thank you!
P.S. the link to lxpup pets for QT in the first posting of your lxpup thread points to the wrong spot, it should probably point to http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/posting.php?p=755424

Yes I am using an IDE which compiles code by calling programs on the commandline, it works on vanilla Quirky Tahir but not after installing lxpup.
it is the IDE at monkeycoder.co.nz
You can install the free version

Basically the IDE is calling a compiled executable on the command line

The executable is called Trans (it translates code, but that isnt important)

When lxpup is installed I get a weird error message from trans that indicates it received the wrong arguments, so somehow the call to trans is being altered.

I can get the exact error message if you want? (dont think it will help)

Hi, any chance you could make a version for Wary 5.5?

I can't use the iso to install since my pc, won't allow any boot from cd - all linux versions I tried end up in kernel panic. So in the past I have moved my hdd to another pc and installed there, then moved back again and it worked fine. But now the other pc died today, and I don't have replacement motherboard to fix it:(

I like the idea to have more than one DE/WM to choose from:)

with kind regards

Pretty unlikely I'm afraid given that Wary is now rather long in the tooth and no longer actively supported by BK.

Recommend you investigate ways to boot more modern pups - from usb stick? or use a usb stick to do a manual frugal install to your hdd? (if you're unsure howto seek help from an appropriate topic on the forum....)

Sorry!

Ufortunately that is not an option:( This old pc can't boot from USB, and although memtest says that RAM is ok, I keep getting kernel panic if I boot any kind of linux - with one exceptence Slitaz 3.

But I like puppy, not really Slitaz though its fast, but the author forgot to make CD/DVD burning available to the user eventhough you type root in the authentication box. Also it has some problems with USB modems and some wireless USB netcards.

I really hope you will reconsider:)

With kind regards

Hi again, I managed to build another pc and this one has now your Lxpup 14.03 nopae installed, and it works fine - but I do have one small request - Could you tell me how to change the language of the menus and desktop into danish language?

I allready been to PPM to install anything I could find with da or dk for my language, that changed some of the menu items but rest remains in english.

It seems like the language pack is not complete - or am I missing something?

With kind regards

JBJ
