Hope your employer rakes in a fortune, and is generous to you who
help make the business possible. Hopefully rude and deadbeat customers will
all shop at your competitors

Taking a well deserved break is important,
especially when the work is heavy.

Merry Christmas everyone, and a safe and happy new year!!!!!

Just to let everyone know yes I have been watching the e17 development. I almost have my hardware issues resolved and as soon as that is put to bed I will begin building a new Macpup and updating and themes and other stuff......

Congrats on Macpup 529 being number 5 in Sneekylinux's Top Ten of 2012/2013.......

Thank you Sir !! And BIG Thank you to Sneeky !!!

I am working on the new macpup. I don't know if this current build of e is going to be in it . I am testing several to see which one ( the newest 17.1 or an older snapshot ) will be in. But I am actually doing something.....

Here is a shot of EFL 1.7.5 with elementary,emotion,ethumb,terminology and e 17.0 It has several issues so I am trying 17.1 next. Running precise 5.4.3 .

Will it be possible to include a more traditional 2ndary file manager? I'm not a big fan of rox...

Why can't macpup use EFM as it's file manager?

I've used Bodhi and Enlightenment's file manager is pretty nice.

Though I guess Rox is faster.

EFM has improved a lot but as far as performance and options it can't touch rox especially with the extra rick click options. 529 has those installed by default. 529 has EFM just enable the starter option in the settings panel. But it wont have a menu entry you will need to use th edesktop icon for that.

I could just add Ibar applications from the settings panel, though.

I also realized that XFE is a great file manager. And it comes with it's own frontend for dpkg. So it could one click install .debs and even .pets with a click.

...Actually, now that I think about it...XFE is a suite of applications, rather then a single file manager. XFE comes with Xfwrite, *I forget the name of the package management program*

XFwrite integrates with XFE and is basically a lightweight text editor like Leafpad and the other program can install packages.

It also can integrate with Audacious...

What is the terminal execute command for efm? I seem to remember trying "efm" (and a few variations) without success.

I also realized that XFE is a great file manager.

Do you have the wherewithal to make a xfe precise .pet? I don't, but I'd be interested if someone did

Does Macpup 529 have a PAE kernel or non-PAE?

...And will the newest version have a choice of both PAE and non-PAE, just like Precise puppy gives?

Oh...I just remembered.

Please don't include Meebo in the menu anymore. It doesn't exist.

To save space, maybe have chatzilla preinstalled on Firefox.

I need some help.

I got the extramods.pet

...But the xkb switcher module won't work. The screen freezes momentarily when I try to change it's settings and then nothing happens.

529 is PAE. I haven't decided yet on doing both a pae and non pae version. If I do a non it won't be until after the main release. And that is a long way off .I haven't decided on the version of e I am going to use. I'm not real happy with 17.0 or 17.1 so I am about to drop back to an older snapshot to see if it works better with precise.

Some of the extra modules are hardware sensitive and won't work on everyone stuff. It getting to the point that Raster is talking about dumping them altogether. The newer builds of e will give a warning message when you load any of them now. I plan on dropping some of them for the next pup.

I have a question about my graphics card.

I frugaled Macpup 529 my 64 bit laptop. And it works nice, but I don't seem to have opengl working. And when I go into the xorgwizard to choose my default graphics card, all of the radeon and ATI options crash X, except for Vesa.

I found a xserver-xorg-video-radeon in the puppy package manager, but I don't know if it's safe to install it.

I have a mobile radeon 4300 series card.

I tried to manually add the russian language using the wizard wizard for use with the *set xkbmap* command but it seems that the OS is incapable of changing languages no matter what I do.

This is worse the I thought.

Is this that error that was supposed to be fixed soon?

What do I do in the mean time?

I don't know. But 529 doesn't need opengl. I removed it's compositing module for e by default.
I have been doing that for a long time it is just to unstable. The last time I left it in I got flooded with complaints. So no more of that.

529 has a problem localizing . The best time right now is to use 528 for that. I have a fix but it won't be out until the next release. I have to completely rebuild e to fix it.

speaking of localizing.

I just switched to puppy precise 5.4.3 and it can´t switch my keyboard layout either.

You should report that in the precise 5.4.3 thread.
