I like jwm. How to switch to jwm from the command prompt?
Nothing to do at X, but i can go down to the terminal.

To switch to JWM in Lupen from the command prompt, just type "xwin jwm" from the command prompt. Or for Openbox, you would type "xwin openbox".
I got that same white screen with a cursor that you did until I changed window managers.

Tnx got it.

Tried to compile nVidia driver against the kernel_src-2.6.38.4-lupe22.sfs.
Compile seemed success but failed to load the kernel module.
I suspect the kernel_src-2.6.38.4-lupe22.sfs is mismatching or badly configured( .config or something?).

Hello,
OK..
Doing some digging into the kernel info produces some confusion..

Hardinfo gives me:

Kernel Linux 2.6.38.4 (i686)
Compiled #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Apr 28 23:14:22 EEST 2011

However, looking thru Pemasu`s directory, I find 2.6.38.4 dated in May, and 2.6.38.2 dated in April..

My .dot.config shows lupe22 as built on May 15th...

April 24 conforms to lupe17, which is not listed, and for which there are no kernel sources available..
There is no entry for April 28..

I think I know what I did.. During the last woof, I may have accidentally checked lupe17..

EDIT Yep.. I never looked in the live /etc/distrospecs...
Definitely screwed up bad... IT IS lupe17... @#$%&
I have versions with both 17 and 22...
Somewhere I retrograded my kernel...
I definitely "Screwed the Pooch" on this one...
Egg on my face..

I will go back thru my Woof`s leading up to Lupen, and see where I went wrong..
Lesson learned... Start with a pristine Woof...
I have to rewoof anyhow to fix the 529/539 bug, and rebuild the ISO without MultiPup, to fix the installer..
I wanted to Woof it with lupe26 anyhow.. (Pemasu`s last 2.6.38.4 build)

Thank you sooo much for the feedback.. Keep it coming...

Time to woof up Alpha 2...

Todo..
Make OB default, with Compiz as an option..
Make the sfs on the top level of the ISO...
Upgrade to lupe26...
Upgrade Firefox to 8.0.1
Write a proper WM switcher to handle the panels/docks..
Lots of housekeeping...

eMerald Segmentation Fawlt

Hardware = Compaq F500, w/ NVidia GeForce Go 6100 Graphics Chip

Ps. Also Noting that this Puplet includes MultiPup which I Really like, I'm Still Keen 2 include a MemTest iso

Thanx Please Thanx...

Hello,
@Max,
Attached is a pet of libglib-2.0 instead of a tarball, so if it doesnt help, you could remove it, and so you can use the PPM to do dependency check..

As for the other thread, Buddapup Dingo is @ my sig link, Buddapup 215 I will have to search for...

Any Other Help U'r' able 2 provide on this wot I'm told is 1 of the Hardest of problems 2 Resolve, Will be Appreciated!

:)K

Ps. J is there a Newer Version of eMerald Window Decorator than I've been using, since the 1 I've got dates back 2 Dingo or perhaps Even Series 3... ?

PPs. Beg Y'r Pardon PuppyLuvr & any other Puppy Masters, Maybe I'm Confused if eMerald is integrated into Compiz, ( the Version of Compiz that I'm using is Grays compiz-0.8.4.pet from ROcktober 2009, but it's the libwnck Library as it's an eMerald Dependency that Dates from 2007

Lupen ISO is dowloading to my hardRock disk. done.
Windows 7 then virtual Machine. Lupen scripts go well to desktop, white desktop, with the mouse arrow on screen. The arrow moves. Then ? Hard rocker, i want a little help from my friends, Joe !

Hello,
I'm guessing you have an Nvidia video card..
Which means that OpenGL isn't working for you.
Which means compiz wont work for you.
If u ctrl alt backspace to the terminal and type "xwin jwm"
Or "xwin openbox" you can get a usable desktop.
See above for more explanation...

Hello,
New Lupen.
New kernel.
Soon....
