Not sure what you mean by "irregularity". Can you post a closeup image of the problem here so I can see what you mean by that? Thanks.gdemonta wrote:Another question: do you think by reducing the taskbar height of one pixel will solve the little irregularity we can see around the quicklaunch icons or is ot far more complicated to solve?

Re: Puppy with ezPup vs Hacao
No. EZpup is about GUI modifications and usability features like PSI.klu9 wrote:does ezPup set up Wine/WineXS, CUPS, Skype, Yahoo! Messenger, Java installer and the other extras found in Hacao?
There is no such metapackage that I'm aware of BUT if NOP is closest to what you want, then my suggestion would be to install EZpup on that, or Puppy's Software Installer (PSI), and then all of the missing packages are only 2 clicks away. Check out the link to see how comprehensive it is.klu9 wrote:if not, does anyone know if is there another "metapackage" or puplet to take care of all that? (I see one called 2.16 NOP, with IceWM, OOo, CUPS & XSane; but not the other features)

On this picture you can see that on each side of the quicklaunch icons, the taskbar isn't completely straight: the image under each icons is not entirely in line with the rest of the taskbar.
In order to solve it, I tried to increase the height of the taskbar, it kind of worked, but a white line appeared at the bottom of the taskbar, which wasn't very nice so I reverted back to the default.
There is also similar problems with some tray icons, except the CPU load.
Do you think it could be easily solved? is it possible to edit some xpm or png picture anywhere?
P.S. By the way, happy birthday!!

Thanks, James. Much appreciated.jamesbond wrote:Happy belated birthday, Warren
Didn't see this thread until it's too late to say so !
It would probably be possible to fix by rejigging the taskbar background and button background files in /root/.icewm/themes/VistaBlack_IV/taskbar directory. Make a copy first if you are going to play around with it.gdemonta wrote:Do you think it could be easily solved? is it possible to edit some xpm or png picture anywhere?

Did a quick test of EZpup 2.1.7 to 2.17alpha.
Install went well, system rebooted with EZpup screen.
Notice one thing - the freememapplet is displayed on its own tiny window.
cheers!

If icewmtray is active it should be absorbed into the Icewm taskbar. A few things might be worth checking:jamesbond wrote:Notice one thing - the freememapplet is displayed on its own tiny window.
1. The line in the IceWM startup file for icewmtray appears as follows:
Code: Select all
icewmtray &
Code: Select all
icewmtray: using /root/.icewm for private configuration files
3. Try putting the Freememapplet line right under the line for icewmtray as follows:
Code: Select all
sleep 2 && iu_nice -n 19 /root/my-applications/freememapplet_tray_puppy215ce/freememapplet-tray &

That's the one that does the trick. There are a number of freememapplet programs floating around. Never thought that you put them under /root/my-applicationsWhoDo wrote: 3. Try putting the Freememapplet line right under the line for icewmtray as follows:Code: Select all

have problem installing this if i first download the package locally. downloaded twice from different mirrors witht the same error namely not enough free space (blocks).
details of setups tried ...
puppy 2.16 / puppy 2.6.1 / puppy 2.15
livecd / also boot from usb stick
ram 512mb
tried install both with and without a 256mb pupsave with same error
note this post with a similar error as well
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=19589
anyone got any clues on why this is happening? seems to be an error in calcn of free available space...

Problem seems to be in PETget calculation of free space by applying a wrong block size for the partition. Issue is being discussed by developers in the Bugs forum, I think. Definitely shouldn't be happening in a standard 2.15CE or 2.16 though.dasch wrote:anyone got any clues on why this is happening? seems to be an error in calcn of free available space...
If you are able, try it on a clean install of either 2.15CE or 2.16 as I know it works fine on clean installs in both. I think the PETget problem may have surfaced in 2.16.1 or even 2.17a release. Either that or it comes with the recently modified probpart file supplied by Barry.
Hope that helps.

hi whodo, happy very belated b'day !
hmmm all the setups so far has been clean installs in the case of running from a usb stick and same problem occurs even from livecd. Have tried 2.6 / 2.6.1 / 2.15 CE all from livecd first w/o pupsave and then with pupsave 256mb and "rinsed" and repeated with a usb stick install again with and without pupsave 256mb... All on a 512mb ram machine.
still puzzled as it seems that from the odd posts here and there that it's working for some of you and yet others like me have the same error on insufficient space.
anyway the screenshots were so tempting that i finally decided to try and managed to get it installed direct from seamonkey. Looks great ! Thanks for your work and the present whodo !
