XFCE-4.4.1.SFS and XFCE-4.4.1.PET for Puppy 3.0+ FINAL
The petget script up to 3.0 checked to see if you had 5 times the size of the package before installing. In 3.01 Barry dropped this to 3 times.
Look for this line in /usr/sbin/petget
XPNEEDB=`expr $EXPFILEB \* 5`
and change the "5" to a "3"
This would match v3.01

Hi there!
Unfortunately, the "glitch" (please notice I am not assuming it is the same one addressed by Barry with the fix just mentioned) does not seem to be fixed in puppy 3.01. I'm far from being a Puppy and Linux expert. However, I was having problems with EZPup3 in puppy 3.00 (unfinished installs and not enough space messages). Tried fresh Puppy 3.01 install, but same problem. I'll expand on a separate thread.

I had to change mine down "1" to get it to install... strange, but it did install! Thanks! Now I just have the slight issue that every time I start Puppy, I'm first shown the JWM-desktop and I have to click it with the mouse for xfce to appear. Why is that? Sorry about all my stupid questions and thanks for all your patienceJB4x4 wrote:The petget script up to 3.0 checked to see if you had 5 times the size of the package before installing.

In either case, to keep the rox pinboard from showing up before the XFCE desktop, find this line in /root/.xinitrc
rox -p /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin
and comment (#) out
#rox -p /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin
Two things :
First :
You can easly use plugins already compiled for debian ( only merge them to filesystem)
google > search needed plugin
Second :
How to organize the menu ???
Example :
In Internet menu I have some browser, I want an sub menu with into them ... HOW ????

I did some basic testing with Puppy 2.17.1 and the XFCE package caused X to fail. This is probably due to using Slackware 12.0 libraries (newer xorg). Looks like you will have to upgrade Puppy.

P.S. If there is enough interest, I could look into recompiling XFCE for the Puppy 2.X series.

Why oh Why?
Using Puppy 3.01 ....
I've dloaded the pet package 3 times now - each time I try to install I get a message saying that it needs so many zillion blocks and I have less than this. I have increased the personal storage file twice so far - I think the last was 250mb. It still comes back with the blocks message.
What should I do? Newbie here - so simple instructions needed!

this installed beautifully on my Puppy 3.0 system, and I really like it.
But ... Every time it starts I get 5 rxvt windows open (I guess as a result of checking the "save session for future logins" when I first shutdown with 5 open)
How do I stop it remembering the last desktop config? I close all rxvt sessions and ensure the "save" box is unchecked but it makes no difference

I think your sessions cache directory needs to be purged.But ... Every time it starts I get 5 rxvt windows open (I guess as a result of checking the "save session for future logins" when I first shutdown with 5 open)

Delete all the files in the root/.cache/sessions directory (hidden directory) and reboot or restart x. This should clear everything.

I don't know if this bug is in this package but is in NOPalpha
create a file make a link to it then delete the original file now when you open the directory with the link thunar crashes....
