(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I HAVE BEEN USING FluxPup for a few days with great pleasure. One question: I'd like my screen to go blank after ten minutes of use, but I can't find where to do this. Can someone help?

Hi davec51,

This should help.

Thanks, OldYeller. I just couldn't find that window somehow.

It appears that Fluxpup is suffering from the underlying international keyboard bug in Precise.

Quoted from the main Puppy Linux pages
"1. Non-US keyboards
The first serious bug discovered with 5.7 is that non-US keyboard layouts did not work properly. When X first started, any app then started, such as Geany, type into it, and it is US layout. Quit the app and restart it, then layout is correct.
This happens at every bootup.
Extremely annoying, and we have narrowed the bug down to an Ubuntu DEB from the 'precise-updates' repository, but we don't know which one yet -- I avoided the problem by reverting to the DEBs used to build 5.6.1. "

Is there any chance that Fluxpup will be updated or patched to correct this? If not, is it possible for a novice to make the change easily?

Thanks

Hi.

I have a script in /root/Startup to have correct DE keyboard layout.
I had the problem, that e.g Geany was fully in DE, but the gtkdialog script applications did not use the DE keyboard layout.

This script in /root/Startup has solved the problem.

RSH

Just let me know what is needed and I will take care of that, since this will be something new for me to do. I do plan on a new build, But it still is set for it to be started in a few months. I have some programs that I have to update for one of my other puppies.

Cheers

I should have thought of using a script to set the keyboard during boot.
That was a good idea and seems to be working...thanks RSH

As far as what needs to be done in the future I would think that basing the new Fluxpup build on Precise 5.7.1 would be the ticket since this bug was fixed in that version (by reverting to older DEBs than were used in 5.7).

Thanks to all,
Hasta luego

Fluxpup build on Precise 5.7.1

FluxPup-1.5 PAE Final
I think this one is based on 5.7.1, since it is the PAE version.

Both are built from 5.7.1 the kernel in the non-pae could be were problems are?

Hello Everyone,

For all of you who wanted Manna Bible Software for FluxPup while I have finally done some programs.

1) update-1.0-for_FluxPup
2)WordSearch-1.1
3)MannaEditor-3.1

The update pet will put a Manna category in the Menu and when ever you want to check for new programs or updated ones you can use the update program to check for them.

Make sure you down load in the order of this list.
Get them here http://smokey01.com/Oldyeller/update/

Cheers

Hello Everyone,

If you have downloaded WordSearh-1.1 and mannareader-3.5 uninstall them. There is a bug in the code that is keeping them to open properly to full screen. Wil Have fixed ones up later tonight. 9/7/2014

Cheers

Hello Everyone

I have decided to remove FluxPup and will no longer be developing if any further.

There is a major bug when using the save button in the usb stick

This puppy works without any problem that I did OVPrecise http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=90388

This is very disappointing. I hope this can be revived at some point.

Best regards,

Slavvo67

I have decided that I would not be dong any more puppies, Because most of the time I can't really fix the bigger issues. I am really not a developer, I did give it a go and most of the time things worked out because of the expertize of others, for which I am most grateful for their help. I will be continuing with my programs for Manna Bible Software and with fluxbox as new ones come out.

I do want to thank BarryK for all of his work, If it wasn't for him there would be no puppy at all.

I also want to thank:
01mick
SFR
RSH
radky
zigbert
and everyone who has ever tested this puppy or any of the other ones that I have done.

THANKS
