It does work, but you need to install a wallpaper changer xfwpcnm-1.0 to use it, though I did find that if installed from the package manager, gamin-0.1.9-486, Psip32-1.3-Saluki and xfce4-4.80 also want to be downloaded, these dependencies are not needed with Saluki 023, it seems there is a bug with the package manager.

Many thx for your suggestion.

i though others would have this so didnt provide clarification.
They were two files downloaded in android. One is a .mov file from Nasa for android, the other is .3gp file from you tube downloaded by operamini in android.
Not sure if saluki should aim at playing these formats.

Change the theme in /usr/share/themes/Default/balou/logo.png

Turn if off in control panel > Desktop > session and startup

thanks Geoffrey

while i was using saluki and playing around in the control panel specifically in the xfce sections, something changed the boot order in my bios. I had to go into the bios and change it back to what it was.

No save button on desktop. So dialog in the save period needs to say 'in the menu'

You can create a copy of the save button by dragging it from the menu to the desktop or a launcher by dragging to the panel,

i have it set to - 0 never, and just got a popup messaging that save is happening!
Thank again geoffrey dragging from the menu is a new trick i didnt know.

Yes, the save issue has been a problem reported previously, I think there is a work around for it, off hand I can't think of who sorted that out, when I find it I'll let you know, more than likely someone who knows will see this and give you info to fix it.

aarf .... there may be some help for your auto save problems discussed on pages 219 ... 223 of this thread.

I've been running a frugal "manual save only" mode (13) in Saluki (and other Puppies) using USB and SD flash drives for a long time with very little problem. Just by setting the save interval to "0" with no "+or-". You can check out /etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown around line # 988 to see if it is set to "0" there. You can also change the time delay before "no save" auto shutdown in this section.

(In Saluki 22) I also had toI open /sbin/pup_event_frontend_d with 'defaulttexteditor' and changed line 9 from ramsaveinterval=30 to:

Code:
[ "$RAMSAVEINTERVAL" = "" ] && RAMSAVEINTERVAL=0 #412

That fixed the auto save problem for me. ... no problems since June. Hope this helps ....KJ

Any news from Jemimah, anyone?
She had "disapeared" before, but is good to know that at least she is "ok" and hopefully on other venues/priorities.

thanks KL, i had at look at it but done nothing. Not a huge problem. Reported mainly to note a fix is required in saluki or somewhere.

Hi aarf, which browser are you using? I've been getting a bit suspicious of some of the self-updating behaviour of browsers lately.

Do you have updating enabled in your browser? I prefer to prevent my browser from ndoing any updates, and I certainly don't want it saving those updates to my savefile. (but I suspect some browsers do exhibit that behaviour...)

I've been putting off saying anything in regard to Jemimah, the last message I received from her was asking me if I would look after the Repo in case she went AWOL again, after she sent me the password I haven't heard from her, she hasn't retrieved any messages from my outbox and there are no post's from her since the 7th of July.

I 've been hoping that she would return before anybody actually asked her whereabouts, but this day had to come, at the moment there is only me and elroy maintaining the repo, as elroy is a moderator on the Saluki forum, he is able to keep it organized removing spam and answering questions to the new members, we have no admin so we are in limbo until Jemimah returns.

If anyone does have any other means of contacting Jemimah, it may pay to give her a call to check on her well being.

At a guess I'd say this maybe due to her failed employment, I'll say no more as it would only be speculation.
