Thanks, that did it. Since background and Icon theme belong to JWM, I hadn't realised that the text belonged to Rox.

Linked to forum francophone, |

Linked to forum francophone, for our colleague OUI, who refused to run 32 bits on its 64bits computer. Puppy Linux offers him Xenialpup64, he can trash his Ubuntu installation..
Ubuntu Xenial Xerus to be trashed
It was a Christmas gift december 2015. This version was bêta.
I run audacious 3.7.2, on Xenialpup 32. Would i change for 64 bits version ? Xenialpup 64 downloading to my Puppy Collection... 300mb is not big when your RAM is 4GB as Mine.. A Long time ago, Cds were 700MB, now we can use Puppies Up to 2GB.
We only need a Puppy Linux media player able to read DVDs.

desktop very garbled, but browser ok. Mouse with hesitations.
Desktop update slowly..
Diagnostic with 32 bits version was similar, but less important.
Everything is normal after five minutes.
Tested PPM : bino 3D downloaded well. Video avi ok (only left channel , because 2D). I Have no 3D movie at home for test.

Subject description: Missing menu icons in xenialpup64 |
|
Thanks to nilsonmorales for the nice oranchelo-pup and Sarai icon themes in xenialpup64.
One small issue: It seems the oranchelo-pup and Sarai icons do not display in the JWM menu of xenialpup64 (JWM 2.3.5). At least, not on my PC with integrated Intel video and vesa driver.
The included icons have png extensions but are mostly svg images. However, they will show in the menu of xenialpup64 after renaming the files without the '48' and changing the extension from png to svg.
For example: rename configuration48.png to configuration.svg
At least three menu icons in the Sarai theme are actually png images (folder48.png, home48.png and pc48.png). Possibly, they may require replacement with actual svg images for use in xenialpup64?
Thanks

this is the first stable-ish 64bit build. it's pretty huge though at nearly 300mb! |
as I did explain it here, I don't see some real profit to install a lot of app's being not usual for the users...
what we urgently need in 64 bit are dotpets and dotsfs and not a lot of preinstalled software what are killing our time un-installing them because we have different needs...
a smart ISO without ballast would be better than an ISO with changes compared to old Puppy's. Palemoon for example did never become the new Puppy browser. The story is the same as opera bowser in the past. divers people did try to impose it to the community, the newest ISO of BK continue to include Seamonkey and I am happy on that (I would prefer Xombrero as it is more secure and works as good as Firefox, Seamonkey or Palemoon and is smarter! What? You find it not so smart at all, or not working well: Look pls at SliTaz, also with 64 bit kernel, and look how Xombrero looks after the second start!)
I don't like geany at all because you can't open two instances of the same doc (I am working on terrible long doc's: you absolutely need on them to have the view on two or more different parts of the same doc. bluefish can divide the view on the doc internal and, over this, allow more than one instance! why geany as standard it is not really better than leafpad?). I don't like abiword at all as the exchange of doc's with parents, friends and foreign person's are very difficult!
Why include those app's not really polyvalent, more, perhaps more a difficulty for the user as an help? since a very long time uses Puppy a format more to add / exchange app's, the dotsfs!
I propose you to create a list of 64 bit app's (or multi-architecture ones ready to use in 64 bit like XVidCap32 ready to use in 64 bit as it is not available any more in 64 bit) as a reference for all...
kind regards

I agree, I just make leafpad the default for everything (it even has line numbers in Options). Geany also has this strange strategy of putting the error messages behind the window when you do a Find so it looks like the program is frozen/unusable until you minimize it and find the stray window. Never tried Xombrero, will check it out.

I love geany, setting it as the default text editor was one of the right choices, whether i'm editing a shell script, a C/C++ file, config files, etc.. it just displays the right stuff.
I LOVE GEANY

geany -i will open a new instance of geany (i've got geany and geany -i on my root1menu--you can open as many instances as you like) and window split is almost always a built-in plug-in, though you may have to enable it (check the tools menu--not on xenial64 at the moment, but from what i've seen, what i just wrote holds true for all geany-carrying 32 and 64bit pups).

I agree that VLC is not the best choice, but geany is. SMPlayer + mpv/mplayer is probably the way to go if we're using QT.

geany does have the split window plugin ... look in tools on the menu bar. the 'paste it ' plugin will also be added. I'll have a look at bluefish and see how it compares, but i do like geany and use it a lot.
xombrero is a browser that most people will hate
palemoon covers a lot of bases ... size & functionality wise... the only other valid option would be a chrome based browser with the widevine plugin. this would add extra size buy also extra functionality like Amazon video.
mplayer v vlc ... I'm really hesitant to go back to mplayer as i always end up with audio video sync problems however powerful the computer.
as it's early days for xenialpup64 for the next build I'll add some of these alternative options to see what people think and see how it works myself. xenialpup32bit will be sticking to its defaults though as it's nearer release.

about included apps in Puppy. |
|
about included apps in Puppy. Look what percentage of the distro occupied. It's no worth pain removing them as default. Remove built-in is easier for an old user fond of Linux than for a newbie to install. (oui msg) Puppy is a ready for use OS, for most of people. Professionnal apps will be loaded as SFS (Typists, photographs, cineasts,)
Geeks are eveywhere, the want a Pupppy for they own needs (experiments, often destructive )
"mplayer v vlc ... I'm really hesitant to go back to mplayer" don't hesitate. Live was easier with Mplayer, lot of apps need it.
We need fun too, as Puppy passengers.
VLC can be loaded as SFS.
Geany is bigger than Mplayer Geeks prefer Geany than mPlayer, for their fun
What about DVDs ? Slacko and tarhpup (Xenialpup) are unable to read chapters. Our children still use DVDs, at night.. DVDs and CDs are still nice gifts. Click with the mouse on the choosen chapter is Useless. Don't ask our children to type in terminal, i english, some Linux parameters. Unless Puppy Linux is a pet at home for old children, around fifty or sixty years old, playing or trying to be programers, in the cellar (while his wife, fond of mechanics,is dismantling the car in the garage).
