(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Morning:

I installed this package into my puppy tahr linux 6.0.2 and it goes faster, but I lost some visual effects.

I wanna unistall it to go back to my previous package, but I cant uninstall lxpup.

How can I uninstall it??

thanks a lot

First uninstall the .pet using the Package Manager
then
unload the .sfs using SFS-Load-on-the-fly

assuming you have a frugal install?
which .pet and .sfs did you install?
I have not updated this thread or the downloads for some time.....

Thanks a lot for your quick answer but...

There's NO pet at the package manager, so I cant find how to uninstall it.

I read somewhere that this package cant be unistalled, so I asked u to avoid a new full instalation (I have my puppy fully configured).

Ugh - full installs - never use them - frugal much more flexible with zero disadvantages!!

Just what DID you install????

You could try running:
lxpup-deactivate
in a terminal....but this will only be present if you've loaded the .pet....

Otherwise, drop out to console (logout) and type:
xwin jwm

you may then need to delete /usr/local/bin/rox and rename /usr/local/bin/Rox to /usr/local/bin/rox
to reinstate rox as the filemanager instead of pcmanfm

This is not guaranteed to work!!!

THANKS A LOT...

the best answer from times !!!!

Add LXDE to UPupEE-19.10 and ScPup-20.01 (both 32-bit builds)

by ydrv sfs:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/lxpup/ ... LXDE-ydrv/

Hi peebee! I downloaded this new version of LXDE y-drv keeping it
totally separate from the ydrv to add LXQt to ScPup 32, ran it through
its paces in a brand new fresh frugal install, nothing serious in the way
of bugs noticed as yet. Small snafu in the session control icon above
the launch bar, it did not find the session logout/shutdown script.
Will investigate and make edits tomorrow...I used the menu icon located
in the Utility section of the menu to successfully shutdown, create save
file, then reboot into my favorite Puppy so far...ScPupLXQt!
Thanks for this ydrv...I'll have to remember to keep it separate from
LXQt!!

Working well here! I've booted this one up after downloading updated
ydrv, hitting the Logout button on the menu brings up the LX shutdown
gui box as expected, without having to hunt in Utilities or use "run"!

Initial observation...without the QT parts included in LXQt, LX seems a
wee bit snappier in most regards. The one exception is PCManFM, it
seems to take a tad longer to populate a directory than in LXQt, but
this could be due to being a "fresh" install, where my ScPupLXQt has
been in use longer. SO, I now have 3 frugal installs of ScPup 32 on
this little Acer Aspire AOA, Intel Atom N270 1.6 gHz CPU, 120 gig HD ,
1 gig RAM, along with Slacko 6.3.2 (Slacko 6 replaced 5, which replaced
the old Slax 7) Slacko 6.9.9.9 (01Micko's beta) and Slacko 7 RC3.
Also on the HD is Windows XP Home SP3.

Thanks again peebee! Gratefully indebted to ya!
Yes, I'm a fan of Slackware, since SW3! Stability has its strengths.

64-bit LXDE ydrv's for ScPup64 and BionicPup64 have been added.....

Add LXDE to UPupEF-20.04 and ScPup-20.01 (both 32-bit builds)

by ydrv sfs:

The BionicPup ydrv has some bugs to iron out.... PVM crashes when removable media is mounted with pmount - there is a button on the desktop to restart PVM.
