Ok..my /root/.icons has 26 items..all themes..with 1 symlink folder ROX that shows the path to /usr/local/apps/ROX-Filer/ROX

PPM/QPM shows installed:
cursor_themes-1-1
pcursor-0.1

restart-X and menu >desktop >pcursor shows empty window {no entries}

Tnx for ur time!
Ah! Remove (i.e. uninstall) that pcursor-0.1 pet. (The selector is already built into Puppy, it is just the extra themes that are not)

childproofing... ted dog style remove hardrive store in safe. Burn a multisession dvd or blueRay for them to use. Load it full of host file blocks of all social media. Add parential controls for websurfing and redo the kernel to remove camera and mike hardware support..
Pre download as much fun pets as possible and help the little tike personalized desktop.
Then allow them to go hog wild on there own..

:roll:

Never give them the option to hurt themselves or your files. period..

I don't think I have seen anyone in this thread mention OPENVPN yet, so I thought I would report that I have openvpn up and running on Quirky Tahr 6.0.5, using openvpn_2.3.2 from the PPM/Ubuntu repository.

Although openvpn can be run from the terminal, I am using a GUI facilitator, GADMIN-openvpn-client. This is available also in the Ubuntu repository as version 0.1.2-4, but I have compiled a later version from the maintainer with bug fixes etc.; compiled it under Quirky Tahr 6.05/devx-6.0.5.

GADMIN also has an openvpn server in the Ubuntu repository, but I use the client to connect to a commercial openvpn service provider. GADMIN-openvpn-client-0.1.9 will import config files downloaded from commercial openvpn service providers, and it is a fairly straightforward process to set up a connection. One can enable activation of the program at boot, so that anytime the browser is used, it is working through an encrypted tunnel.

I went ahead and made a PET of GADMIN-openvn-client-0.1.9, should anyone else be interested.

Back to the rfkill subject

#645 Post by mamoon001 »

On my HP Compaq 6510b I put the rfkill line into the rc.d/rc.networking_basic file. I placed it at the top right before the networking entries start. I only use the unblock all option so I don't need more than one line.

Thank you, Barry, for the newer Quirky Tahr. It has made my hobby much more enjoyable. Keep up fantastic work. I am learning more now than I have in a long time.

Childproofing

#646 Post by Rodney Byne »

Barry,
thanks for the childproofing description, though---

No kids here so don't need childproofing, don't want it,
irrelevant, surplus to requirements.

If you must impose this module upon us, could you please
at least allow options to either not install it with the next SP
or un-install it afterwards.

Thanks.

childproofing

#647 Post by Kris55555 »

My opinion:
childproofing - yes, but only as a separate Modulus, with the option to uninstall, just as described in the previous post.
Thanks.

Childproofing is a pretty good idea for those that have kids and want them to have the Puppy experience. It's also good for family members that might not normally use a Linux box. Either way, I'll have fun testing it.

Thanks again, Barry

Greetings slenkar {?spell check}
best good guess? try navigating to /usr/local/apps
if iicon is in that folder? just drag it back to your desktop.
Hope I guessed it right.
GL !
or try /usr/share/ applications and then find browser desktop icon {might be "default browser}.
Then you can drag/copy to your desktop..Once on desktop you can right click on the icon on "edit" the name..such as "do not remove"..-haha

VLC Web PlugIn has crashed

#654 Post by broomdodger »

Quirky Tahr 6.0.5

Chrome Version 32.0.1700.107
Tried to stream music from this site and:
VLC Web PlugIn has crashed
http://www.wdav.org/streams/wdav-24k.m3u

Used pupRadio which opened VLC and it is playing.
Also playing the stream directly in VLC works.

Then tried SeaMonkey 2.24 and it is playing within the browser.

Just been downloading the
/pet_packages-tahr/devx-6.0.5-tahr.pet,
from a couple of sources - ibiblio, uoc, - (partly with a view to test my new ISP service).

grrrr, the hash codes don't match!

Anyone have the kosher hash codes for this?

http://www.puppylinux.com/development/createpet.htm
A ".pet" file is actually a tarball, that is, a ".tar.gz" file, except that it has a 32-byte md5sum (file integrity verification code) appended on the end of the file.
All that the "pet2tgz" script does is remove that trailing md5sum. All that "tgz2pet" does is append the md5sum.
So... you do not need to check the hash of a .pet file.

I download from
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id= ... sp=sharing

It's a lot quicker but there's no md5sums.

Here's a tip:

Using viewnior do a 90 degree rotation of

/usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/folder24.png
/usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/folder48.png

The updating of the icons seems to be done automatically during
overnite maintenance??

The result is seen in image....

.... thanks, folks ....sorry if I am now drifting somewhat OT but, Bill, am I correct in inferring from the Barry quote that the .pet process is self-checking download-wise (assuming that the download is completed fully)?

If so, sheesh! - I never knew that - every day is still a schoolday!

Exactly... a .pet file has the md5 embedded.
It does not 'self-check' on download, only when it is opened.
That is why you never see a list of md5 for .pet files.
