Hello Everyone,

I have just uploaded "FluxPup 1.5 is pae" final at 149mb I have added flux wallpaper to the menu...fixed pwidgets so that it refreshs when changing wallpaper by the fluxbox menu. Added more themes/styles for fluxbox. I also removed some programs that I thought were over kill on during the same job.

All removed programs are in the SFS_Builder-Downloader and also in the ppm.

Added pets folder to the Builder in the file menu

gnome-mplayer still sometimes not play a file when clicked on, But I have notice that the more I use it the more it does work. If anything is still found it will be fixed ot replaced when FluxPup 1.6 comes out in around 4-6 months. Will be doing a non-pae and uploading it in a couple of days.

Cheers

Hi Oldyeller,

I downloaded fluxpup 1.5 final and did a new frugal install on my Dell D620 (2.16 Ghz Core Duo, 2.5 GB RAM) Laptop. Set up Networking and created a new save file. After reboot all was good. I've downloaded firefox ESR 24.3 using sfs_builder and installed it. It was updated to 24.4 and working well.

All I have used so far is working well. Excellent!

Thank you.

USB frugal install on EeePC1001HA: everything works.
Is this based on Slacko 5.7 ?
On Slacko wireless did not work, but Fluxpup 1.5 had wireless working.

Nice clean desktop. On the small netbook screen 1024*600 the application bar is very present and fills the whole width. Will try tonight on a lager screen.

Nice to see Opera ... always been a an of Opera.

Hello Everyone,

For all of you who wanted Manna Bible Software for FluxPup while I have finally done some programs.

1) update-1.0-for_FluxPup
2)WordSearch-1.1
3)MannaEditor-3.1

The update pet will put a Manna category in the Menu and when ever you want to check for new programs or updated ones you can use the update program to check for them.

Make sure you down load in the order of this list.

Dear Oldyeller,

I have made a frugal install of fluxpup 1.6 on a USB stick. I found one flaw.

Let me tall you what I did. It is easy to reproduce:

1/ Pristine start fluxpup, make some changes to wbar (delete one entry) and exit. A save file is made and the change is stored.
2/ Repower, and verify the change is stored: OK
Now you have a save file, there is also a new icon on the desktop (a save icon).
3/ Shutdown and repower, make sure all ik okay.
4/ click the save icon on the desktop. You get a popup indicating the save is taking place. Wait few seconds.
5/ shutdown and repower ... you have lost your wallpaper. The wallpaper is white. In an earlier test I also lost wbar and part of pwidgets (only the clock appeared, not the callendar).

Is there any additional test you would like me to perform. It seems to evolve from using the save button on the screen. I have not "clocked" it but it also seems the save is much faster than if compared to standard Pups (USB 2.0 USB stick with write speed of 3Mb/s).

EDIT: maybe related: during every boot, after using the SAVE button, there is a purple text "updating layered file system, next boot will be faster". In earlier pups this text disappeared after a reboot.

Regards,

Volhout

Hi Volhout,

I have just put it on a usb and will test out on my lappy, other wise it is doing fine with a frugal install on my desktop that I built.

Will let you know what I find later.

Cheers

Hello Everyone

I have decided to remove FluxPup and will no longer be developing if any further.

There is a major bug when using the save button on the usb

Hi oldyeller Exclamation

Since I do not use savefile , but usually do a taylored remaster to use puppy as Live CD , I managed to finish my version of Fluxpup 1.5.1 - but it was not easy ...
Fluxpup does not like too many changes in a remaster . But once I got it right , it works well ( as you said without savefile ) - and spot browser works ... Nice window manager .
Even discontinued , I will keep this non-pae pup .
Thank's a lot for your work Exclamation

Hi Oldyeller,

I am sorry I found a bug that is difficult to fix. Especially sorry that it causes fluxpup to get killed. You, and your wife who did the artwork, did a great job creating one of the most beautifull pups ever made.

For now I have locked down my save button behind the clock (pwidget) so no-one accidentally hits it. What a workaround....

Best regards,

Volhout
