Hello

Well, the deed is done, and Buddapup 217 is no more.
Say hello to Buddapup Dingo

Buddapup Dingo is Puppy 4.00 Dingo with the Enlightenment E-17 Window manager.
The only major changes from the official release are the addition of Opera 9.50, Icecat,
Xvidcap and Gizmo 3.1. ( And Enlightenment ) Size is 176 mb..

@ Known issues:
Only one. The default background for the main desktop (Dingo) is actually a screenshot of Buddapup Dingo.. What this means is if you make ANY changes to
the IBar or IDock, the background image will still have the old icons ,,ect,, So you will want to change the background before making any changes!!
@ Also, to maximize a window over the IBar/IDock restore it, raise it over the Dock, then maximize it again.
@ On first Boot, you will have a default Dingo desktop.
Just hit ctrl / alt / bkspce to drop out of X then type xwin enlightenment_start

Feedback (as always) is appreciated...

By writing this comment I hope to invoke the Sudden Awareness of the Obvious that typically occurs immediately after pressing Submit...

I definitely like Enlightenment, and Puppy. The combo seems like a great idea to me.

So I tried Buddapup-Dingo from http://www.puppylinux.ca/members/BuddaPup/ on my Asus eee, but what I get is JWM.
No e17 in sight.

Am I missing something? Do I need to switch window managers? Did I download from the wrong place?

Thanks!
David


( now I'll just sit back and wait for the obvious to smack me like a sack of onions... um, but just in case I don't post a "Doh!" follow-up in the next few minutes, I could probably use some help )

I think in your excitement, as you say - you missed the obvious .. as per puppyluvr's post :

@ On first Boot, you will have a default Dingo desktop.
Just hit ctrl / alt / bkspce to drop out of X then type xwin enlightenment_start

Hope this provides enlightenment

Cheers, Adam.

Doh!

Yep, there it is, in plain sight.
Thanks Adam.

And thank you puppyluvr! This is pretty darn nice.
All works well.

I've got some of the usual eee issues, but that's really a separate topic.
(wireless isn't up, and there's no recognition of taps on the touchpad, both items I think I've seen covered elsewhere in the forums.)

It Looks GREAT!!!And mostly ran great too,I only had two problems ,I selected a animated background and when it started my system bogged down big time ,I have a dual core 3 ghz processor with 1.5 g of ram.
The other thing was when I tried to reboot nothing happened for over a min.I ctrl-alt-backspace to get to the command line and rebooted from there.

Before I started enlightenment xvidcap was listed in the menu , After I started the listing was gone and I had used the terminal to get it started , Of course when I closed the terminal xvid closed too...

Never mind about that background, Found it at the GET-E org site...

Comment: Animated (heavy technology showcase, only for testing purposes!)

Hello

@ Yes, some of the included backgrounds are alphas
at best, but show off Enlightenments ability`s nicely, so I left them in. There are 4 more static backgrounds
in /usr/local/share/enlightenment/data/backgrounds
Don`t ask me how they got there.. Messing around with the backgrounds is how I ended up with a screen
shot as my default background.

@ Xvidcap is in /usr/share/applications. It was a last minute thing due to your post, and I missed merging it into the menu, however it will launch fine from there..

Thanks, and keep letting me know how it goes....

you didn't put the mushrooms background in dingo ?

Hello

@ ronacc

O.K. Here you go.

thanks

edit: it looks even better than the screenshot on my 1440x900 lcd at 24bit color depth

Very, very nice.

Installed on hard drive and loving it.

Tried running java in Opera today it worked.

I really want to run that background!!!!Is it possible to turn the fire off to free up some cpu?

The flame can be disabled via Enlightenment configuration > modules.
I updated Opera to 9.51 with Wolfpup's package and it works great.

installed frugal buddapup, excellent
system very very fast and browsing is in top gear...

my system intel Celeron M 1.4hz, 768mb ram, 40gb hdd laptop

First, I absolutely love Budda-dingo!!!

Unfortunately, I'm having a problem when trying to shutdown the system from Enlightenment and have run into the same problem on a few different computers.

Anyone else had similar issues? Any solutions?

Thanks in advance and GREAT WORK Puppyluvr!!!

Hello to all...=!

Booted BuddaPup Dingo today.. As a long time Slax user and Enlightenment spectator (been reading about it's potential for over a decade, but thought it was too difficult and never tried it until today) I am now a believer (Enlightenment is is not just for devs?)... I have seen the "light"!!!

I am curious however... what would be required to make Enlightenment the default?

Anewjeff look at this....

Hello,

@meridian_blue,
If you shut down in Enlightenment it should restart in Enlightenment.
It only needs the Enlightenment_start configuration once, should
be good to go from there..


@ I always shut down Enlightenment first "ctrl / alt / bkspce" and
then type reboot or poweroff..

Strange, I just downloaded Buddapup Dingo from
www.puppylinux.ca/members/BuddaPup/ and it turned out to be the regular Dingo version.
OK...my mistake....you have to type
ctrl / alt / bkspce to drop out of X
then type xwin enlightenment_start
as mentioned earlier in this forum.

I've noticed that a lot of puplets grab the first puppy file they find and end up looking like something else.
