Hello Everyone,

I have just got FluxPup-1.5 to final using 3.9.11 pae xz compression. This has fluxbox 1.3.5. Built using ubuntu precise

Get it here http://www.smokey01.com/Oldyeller/fluxpup/ It is 149mb the devx is also there.

I did not put in "Get libreOffice in this build. I have three version you can get by using SFS-Downloader through the Builder.

My wife did all the backgrounds for Fluxpup

There is no desk icons.

The SFS_Builder_Downloader is a program to download everything that I have in fluxpup repo so one can build adrv, zdrv and sfs. Read the help to know what you can do.

When building the adrv and the zdrv make sure you name them right...adrv_fluxpup_1.5 - zdrv_fluxpup_1.5 When booting-up the zdrv will load without a notice, The adrv will show up during booting.


Whats new in 1.5
ffconvert 1.4
firewallstate
SFS_Builder_Downloader


What has been Added:
Adrive support
pwidgets starts right up
wbar has all the desk icons plus a few more
opera has been put in and seamonkey is out

Enjoy

Cheers

Fantastic!!!! I've never run Fluxbox before, I am familiar with Openbox though, which I like. I really like this FluxPup.

Manual frugal instal on bootable Flash Drive, running on Dell Core Duo 2.16 GHz with 2.5GB RAM. Wifi is Intel 4965 AGN Card, working well. It's using ~54MB RAM with nothing running, about 86 MB when running Opera.

I will be using this for at least the next few days. I really like the look of Fluxbox. Hopefully I'll pick up how to configure it.

Great work.

I don't normally use pae kernels but....... did a quick manual frugal install anyway. Everything working on initial boot.

Had to do a bit of tweaking on Wbar.....using an old crt monitor with this box and Wbar overlapped the screen on both edges, easily taken care of.

Installed SeaMonkey 2.24 without difficulties.

Pretty darn quick and everything is working so far.

Hello oldyeller, thank you for this, running really well, never used fluxbox before, really enjoying it. Installed shinobars portable Firefox. Everything appears to be working!

Thanks again

Had some issues when I logged in today. Last night when I first used Fluxpup I rebooted several times and all was good.

Today when I logged in, I have no wallpaper and the font used on the desktop and panel has changed. Also the panel is different, 100 % instead of the reduced length. The wbar didn't start up also.

I have rebooted twice and same happened. I have deleted the save file and started again with a clean install.

I'll see how it goes over the next few restarts.

There is one other really minor thing, which is present in the original. The title for the Install Icon in the wbar has a typo error, it's missing the 's'.

[dejan555]

Attached are fixes for /usr/sbin/fixmenus and /usr/sbin/icon_switcher
(When you change iconset wbar doesn't restart with new icons and pwidgets don't start again, this pet fixes it and adds automatic menu refresh for fluxbox)

-wbar icons fit on 1280x1024 res but there are too many for smaller resolutions
-Transmission and Geany could be newer versions

Those are some of my observations so far.
I ran mupen64plus on fluxpup (I already had debs from debian squeeze from before) works ok although my gfx card don't have really good support anymore.

Also: You have email icon in wbar but there's no email app associated with it (set to defaultmail, which is set to sylpheed)

I loaded amarok sfs from here using sfs_load and it runs, listening to online streams atm. Simple gtk radio also works.
