I don't get what do you mean. Maybe you think that what i wanted to transmit was anger. if it's, completely wrong. Anyway if nobody can give a better solution than just "BURY" this is ended. |

@lolo69 Did you have a look in /usr/share/applications yet? Please do! If it is empty, look if you have /usr/share/applications.in and if it has anything, copy all in it to /usr/share/applications and reboot. You may recover some links on your desktop. |

You mean no /usr/share/applications ? That explains it. And no /usr/share/applications.in either? Do you have the .iso? Go in it and then go in the main.sfs (puppy_tahr???.sfs, look in it, do not install it) and copy /usr/share/applications from there into /usr/share. |

No, I have a /usr/share/applications, but i don't have a /usr/share/applications.in. Do you know which are the puppies which have the best compatibility, with apps, libs, etc? |

And if you click on a appX.desktop, does appX work? Try geany.desktop or something. |

I mean, you look in /usr/share/applications and click on some files there to see if that starts an application. Please test it. And do the files there have an icon or not? |

What I mean is that I (ego, moi, me) am a grouch (a complainer, a critic) sometimes. If you do not have a /initrd directory, this would mean that you have installed Puppy as what is called a "full install". Forum member "bigpup" asked you this in the 2nd post, and you did not answer his question, as far as I can tell. Do you remember what type of installation you did for your tahr Puppy? There are three types of installation possible for modern Puppies: -- full -- frugal with pupsave file -- frugal with folder Do you remember which one you used? This is important, because the procedure to get back your icons will be different for a full install than the one I presented previously. Also, please answer MochiMoppei's question? Please reread his last paragraph from his post here http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=980506&sort=lastpost#980506 and answer his question. If you have icons there or not will tell us a lot. TIA. _________________ musher0 ~~~~~~~~~~ "You want it darker? We kill the flame." (L. Cohen) |

So it really is just the icons you are missing. We are back at About #1 from Musher0. You will need to copy /usr/share/pixmaps /usr/share/icons /usr/local/lib/X11 from somewhere, because they contain most icons. Instead of going to /initrd, you can go to the .iso of Tahrpup. By clicking you can open it and click on the puppy_tahr???.sfs to open it and continu to the 3 maps you have to copy. Copy these 3 maps in the right places. Hopefully that will fix most. EDIT: Musher0, sorry, I was writing while you posted. |

It should because it is just a link to the .desktop in /usr/share/applications. |

No problem, foxpup. I think you are on the right path to a solution for this man. BFN. _________________ musher0 ~~~~~~~~~~ "You want it darker? We kill the flame." (L. Cohen) |
