(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

This sounds splendid iguleder. Lucid is almost 2 years old now. We darn well should be moving on!

Rollin' with Aqualung.

I have found that right-clicking an app in the task bar closes it. Is that the intended behavior? Also how do I switch between desktops?

Hi Iguleder

Looks and feels nice -

manual frugal to ext3 sda1
8/9yr old Acer TravelMate 243LC
256mb ram. 2.5Ghz Celeron proc. 800mb swap partition.

Even Firefox runs well - (unusual recently)

Not sure the firewall is working here.

Anyway - many thanks for all you do for us - luvly puppy.

Very best regards - Ray

Testing.....testing....now. Looks good so far. Some quick notes. Pupcamera would need gphoto2 and some other stuff to work from menu. Easily fixed though. Delayedrun script still calls 10.X flash player. If you want to use 11.X flash, the script needs some editing for download location. I changed it in Exprimo 5.X.8.

Wm compo looks good and works also. New X works great. Touchpad configuring with flsynclient works.

This looks like new era in small size Puppies world.

Thanks Iguleder !

Testing GuyDog on a fresh frugal install.
- Xorgwizard would not properly probe my onboard nvidia on bootup.
Manually tried the nv driver, which did not work. Managed to get to the graphical desktop using the Vesa driver. The new look is nice.,

Pets from my hard-drive would not install when I left-clicked on them in emelFM2. Same problem in Nextpup. Lucky I knew about the Open With "petget" command and was able to install pets that way.

- I wish to add drive icons back to the desktop but don't know how, can someone out there help me with this?

Manual frugal install. No problems so far. Boots and runs well.

How about using Idrivepanel-demo

Seems to work well on old and new PCs. Some of the same problems mentioned, though, I also see.

Had one problem with a PPM product that does find library.

Otherwise, this is very interesting packaging you provide for us. Thanks.

It is, but you can change it. The setting is at line 83 in /root/.config/tint2/tint2rc, "mouse_right = close". The available settings are explained at the link below.

Ctrl-Alt-Left Arrow or Right Arrow or scrolling on the desktop are two ways.

I tried the pet, but it didn't work in Guy Dog. Thanks for the suggestion.
Finally got ROX-Filer to work, but don't know how to change the default pinboard.

Fresh manual frugal install on my main Athlon XP linux box.Same problem as was mentioned earlier....Xorgwizard refuses to use the "nv" driver for my Nvidia card so I'm using Vesa at 1280x1024 (highest resolution allowed) instead of my desired 1440x900.
Otherwise,sound was working on initial boot and SNS made quick work of the network.Overall,looks pretty good.
On to more testing.

Connecting to the internet is still problematic for me lol.

I really think it is the belkin wireless router & or the belkin adapter FSD7050.

Will do some more testing but my initial tests all point to my hardware components

frugal manual install to ext4 pfix-=ram. sns auto-detected my broadcom wifi driver and after inputting particulars including WEP network encryption made connection without issue.

some things to find out like how to install existing pets, as noted in earlier post. seems responsive and quick but how much more so than 64 bit or all 686 os will find out over next days of testing. thanks.

Did another frugal install on an old P4 with onboard Intel 82865 graphics.....everything working ootb on that box.

Hi Iguleder

Some quick feedback (manual frugal install on my HP550):

- Network Wizard doesn't seem to work at all
- sad to see that Samba hasn't been included
- really missing being able to click on a .pet file to install it and clicking on a .iso or .sfs to access the contents

Maybe somebody could do a quick tutorial explaining how to do the things we've come to expect of Puppy in this different new world for people who would like to experiment but aren't clever enough to work it out for themselves??

Really exciting what you've managed to cram into such a small ISO though - congrats.

Cheers

how do set the wall paper or change it rather? i can't find the wallpaper app

Any Puppy wallpaper setter should work - put your wallpaper in either /usr/share/backgrounds/default.jpg or /usr/share/backgrounds/default.png. This is something I want to address in the next release.
