(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

thanks for the reply. i should have time here shortly to boot it up and try it out. you may hear from me again

xwin jwm was the obvious command but i guess even with linux you just have try the same thing over and hope for a different result...

I am going to do a free computing night at our library with various live cd's for folks to try out. I will run the presentation from your pup! it generates lots of interest and blows people away when i have it up on a workstation, ought to look really impressive coming out of the projector.

allright, they show up under jwm but still no luck with e17.

i do not see a 'reload puppy menu' in the enlightenment menu

i went to e.-configuration-menus-applications and then there is a choice between 'regenerate' and 'update'. update does not do the trick. i may try regenerate but it says it will wipe customizations - and i am afraid of what that means.

the gimp i grabbed does not run, i don't suppose you know of a package somewhere that works for sure?

i am also having a rough time finding a decent music player, i think i will try and track down an amarok package.

i will boot it back up, get on the network and see what i can find

thanks again for the help!

phodges read my first post in this thread, its the third one down, install the menu.pet and follow the instructions I have there . You dont need the dbus .pet

Oops,

i do not see a 'reload puppy menu' in the enlightenment menu

I was thinking of E-16..Doing it manually in E-17 is a bit more complex..
Use the pet runtt21 suggested, he knows E-17!!!

As for the Gimp, Im guessing you tried a Gimp 2.6 pet...Needs a lot of dependancys...Type gimp into a console, and it will tell you what it needs..
Probably babl and gegl....

If you like E-17, you also should try runtt21`s Macpup_E-17 with Firefox or Opera..
Very nice work and a more recent version of E-17...

Also, if youre into glitz and bling for your presentation, try Ripple...
Compiz-Fusion and Cairo-Dock...Very flashy...
Also a Compiz Puplet called VestaPup...Like Vista on Compiz/Steroids..LOL

Blow their minds....

**edit**

allright, got everything up and running, and icons in the ibar!

awesome, thanks guys.

for the menus, 'regenerate' and a reboot seem to have done the trick.

i've got xfe so now i can at least see where everything is

the list of dependencies for gimp is awfully long, i will take it out and try to find one that's easier to get running.

i definitely played with foxy, but i could not get the flame module loaded and working. e is super cool and user friendly for basic stuff but more advanced stuff takes a lot of time to figure out...like i can't get the clock to change on this one.

i will burn vesta too so we have that one to take a look at.

so far i am down to getting a working gimp and amarok and this system should be all put together for me! maybe a better firefox too. can you guys recommend a good stable pet out there?

thanks again, and as i said i totally dig the work you guys have done on these puppys!

Macpup foxy e17 comes with gimp , the new versions of e17 load things differently so I am not sure if the old mods like the ones buddapup uses will run on it ,I havent compiled new ones yet , I am working on it

Clocks are part of the theme you cant change it without changing the whole theme.

i could not figure out how to load and enable the flame module in foxy, so even though both you guys recommended it as more recent/stable i opted to work with serenity. i grabbed the shrooms.edj puppyluvr made and it would not run in either serenity or foxy. i did get the programs i wanted installed, running, and on the ibar. next project is changing the icons on the ibar for the new programs.

i am glad you told me this, i will stop trying to change the clock now!

it is a big jump from to both a new OS and DE.

so thanks for all the legwork!

" changing the icons on the ibar " read the thread for macpup opera.I just made some new e17 icons and posted them there and how to do it.

FYI here is the page for the free computing night at the library

and the 4-flyer sheet is attached

thanks again for the hard work you guys put in and for the help.

Hello,
Thank You!!
Wow, almost 4 years later, and still useful to someone..
Buddapup is nice, isnt it!
After Macpup, I kinda let Buddapup go..
So glad to see someone use it again!!
Any questions, I am still here..

I still have my copy and run it occasionally. You really should continue with it especially now that E17 is stable. Thanks for a wonderful and fun Puppy.

Hello,
Wow, what can I say.. Nearly 5 years since I "Unleashed" this little dog..
There was actually an earlier "Buddapup 2.17" which was the first E-17 one.
But E-17 is Runtt21`s baby. His love for it inspires me! Progress there will come from him.. I could never come close to what he can do with it..
I personally love E-16 a lot. I am even working on an E-16 Pup ATM..
(Star Trek related, really geek-sheik... )

Thank you for trying my little Pup, I`m so glad you had fun with it...

Where can we get the iso of the Buddapup, please ?
seems to me interesting !

Hello
@The meownplanet link in my signature, User: puppy Password: linux

thanks !

Version 2015 Tahrpup available : info Facebook. Puppyluvr, where is it ?

Pelo,
This is E17, not the E16 I posted on Tahrpup in the group.
I'll try to post a link to my E16 sfs here or there.
Check the group!

There is a video buddapup on you tube, which gave me wish to install the desktop on one of the ugly puppies JWM with SVG icons
Penguins were living in Puppyland a long time ago.

Hello,
That was before "Dingo" 4.0.
That was 2.17, the first E-17 Puppy, and that video was created by, and the Inspiration for, Macpup.
Dingo 4.0 was my last E-17 Puppy.
I do still work with E-16, and there is a .pet of the latest in my repo, but its inaccessable atm..
