there was a bug in my rxvt-wrapper, that caused that the "lock" icon on the desktop did not work.
Other applications might be affected too, if they use something like
rxvt -title "xxxSPACExxx"

bugfix (9 kb):

I'm running Muppy 006 right now (Full HD install) And it is real sweet.
Installed with Xorg, and I like the fonts (real clean).
I haven't had a chance to try all the bells and whistles yet.
But I like it a lot so far.

PS: I had no issues with the install (it went real smooth).

Mark,

This is just one for your "wish list". I'm a big fan of PSI and appreciate your "service-pack" concept. That said, it would great to have a feature in Puppy to automatically apply critical service packs specific to a particular distro similar to features found in enterprise-grade versions of Linux. This would require some work and is not imperative but just something to add to the idea exchange.

i found a strange problem with psi
i tried to update the mirrorlist, since i was getting all the packages unsorted into one dir
but it tries to connect to 5.0.0.0 and obviously get nothing..
how can i fix it?
moreover i would love my wifi configuration to be retained and reapplied every time i reboot
how can i do that?

Thanks for the feedback Very Happy

*******************************

jam, I plan to add a update-entry to the toolbox.

*******************************

nevermore, no idea at moment.
Maybe the server is not reachable temporarily?
Does it work later, maybe?

I made a wizard to make it easier to setup the Icewm-dock:

Will go into Muppy007.

rutilt?
Never had a look at that, but if it is in Puppy 2.12, it also is in Muppy006.

xfce?...
Muppy has icewm.

type
xwin starticewm
to start it.

mark it is there
but not displayed on menues..strange..
appears only on jwm.
i installed the office sfs
i notice that if i open office, then i save and close it, then i try to shutdown.
shutdown doesn't do anything.

MU · Posted: Thu 14 Dec 2006, 20:02 Post subject:

ok, so it misses an entry in /usr/share/applications/
Will add one tomorrow.

OpenOffice... must have a closer look this weekend, I think I did not encounter that yet.
You might do this:
type
ps
This lists all running processes.
If one looks like being from OpenOffice (like swriter), type
kill PROCESSNUMBER

If you can shutdown then, please tell me the whole line you got by "ps".
Muppy also has a "grafical ps", click on the processor-display at bottom right to run it.

Muppy -sweet!

I downloaded thunderbird as a pup and set it as default email but when I click on a url link a message of " Cannot start Gnome Browser" appears. I am a little confused by this.

I was going to maintain Sylpheed but it kept stripping graphics from emails and I didn't manage to find an answer to this behavior in the forum.

I can't help with thunderbird, but with sylpheed.

configuration - common preferences

display - message

[] Render HTML-messages as text.
Remove the [x], and it should work?

I updated the servicepack, now you have a menuentry for "RutilT" in the setup-menu after restarting Icewm.
