LxPup : a Puppy with LXDE as its desktop environment

I'm with the guy who said 2 is toooo low. I too run 7 with 3 threshold. I have to set this EVERY TIME I boot up. Annoying. Also wondering why 2 is a default. Is there some way I can set it and forget it? I've tried clicking on OK as someone suggested and nada. It saves to a folder (as suggested in setup) and does this on all 4 of my usb pups.
thanks for the attention, await possible fix

XP Refugee,
I can't give you the complete answer but I can give you a clue. I run Puppy Linux on old ThinkPad models and always have this same problem, regardless of which Puppy or which ThinkPad model, although being a ThinkPad, I'm using the trackpoint rather than a mouse. Same problem as you, though. My answer is to create a short bash script 'mouse.sh' which contains the one line 'echo -n 255 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/sensitivity' and save it to /root/Startup. The point here is to directly edit the values which control speed ('sensitivity') of the trackpoint (on a scale 0-255 where 255 is maximum sensitivity). The figures for a mouse will be read from a similar subfolder of /sys/devices/platform but I can't promise you which one. Saving the bash script in /root/Startup causes it to be executed on every boot. Hope this helps, if only a little.

thinks, this is a solid lead. Up til now it appeared *I* was the only one having this problem. I'll tinker with things a bit and see what happens. I'd love to put an end to resetting it every boot up.

Could find NOTHING poking ALL around /sys. But I did end up poking around /root/config./lxsession/LXDE and low and behold in desktop config I FOUND IT !!!!!
I now have it set at 7 and 3 threshold. Survived restarting window manager. I figure it'll survive a reboot

tho the tip did not lead me right to it, it gave me the motivation to keep looking around and clickin on stuff

I mean a list of every changes ? I can't read 54 pages to find out

I don't know if I should update something or not.

Afraid I still don't understand what information you require....

There is no configuration change list available....

Suggestion DELETED - not practical - too many changes:

What you could do is use the Xffm Patch Manager in the Utility menu to provide a difference display between the /root/.packages/woof-installed-packages in LxPupTahr-15.02 with the same file in LxPupTahr-15.12....

users must feed back things running well : LXmusic installed from PPM runs without missing dependancies (LXpup 1506)

Best one Puppy with LXDE.
Works great and very easy to use.
Look and feel + philosophy of what you are putting together.

Preview for testing:

LxPupXenial-16.05.1-pae.iso

With many thanks to 666philb for Xenialpup 7.0.1 with 32-bit pae kernel 4.5.2

If you find problems please check in the first instance if they are also present on Xenialpup 7.0.1 and report them at the thread for Xenialpup 7.0.1

Only report problems with LxPup / LXDE aspects here - thanks.

LxPupXenial-16.05.1 inherits some aspects from LxPupSc - particuarly the use of LxPanel instead of LxPanelX as per LxPupTahr.

This is a Preview and currently identifies as Xenialpup.

It's working okay so far.

Edit: Still working well after 6+ hours.

All of the basics working great here on a quick test. Booted straight to desktop in proper resolution, sound OK OOTB, Frisbee connected without issue, smoothly surfing on Palemoon. Nice work!!

Happy as clams here. Intel sound and video, iwlwifi WPA2 connection using Frisbee, Lid suspend all fine OOTB. Palemoon profile symlinked to extra-pupspace location as usual. Rendering and speed good. Glxgears FPS good at 1550.

The "Icon set" icon switcher doesn't appear to work, as it's not displaying the Elementary icon set after choosing, for some reason (liveCD session, and after restarting the WM).

Minor niggle/preference - I'd much prefer that the desktop setup "Change appearance" window remain open after making a selection (as it always immediately closes in the background) - is there any easy way to accomplish that?

Otherwise, more general (not extensive, deep) testing - this LxPup appears flawless so far. Happy to see the panel RAM monitor back, and the panel weather widget even works! I think I'll be focusing on this one from here on out - it's winning my affections.

Just a great Pup - thanks peebee and 666philb!!

Hi Bob

Good catch - will be fixed in next version.

To keep the change-appearance window open try deleting all lines EXCEPT the last of <action type="exit">Exit</action> in /usr/bin/lxappearance

Cheers

Thanks peebee - that did the trick... much better.

Another small oddity - installed Wbar from Menu>Desktop>Change Appearance>Options, and it's (rox) File Manager icon is opening PCManFM instead. "rox" in lxterminal is doing the same thing. Not sure if it's Wbar related or not, I'll have to re-boot to pristine and see.

Edit - sussed; requires an uppercase "R" in "Rox". Must somehow be calling defaultfilemanager if lowercase "r".

The more I dig, I find myself chuckling out loud at all of the neat little details and overall "completeness" of this Pup... such nice work!
