NOP 4.1 Released
grey do you think there is that much benefit in removing rox? its only like 400kb and jwm is like 68 compressed
personally id rather ditch thunar and stick with Rox but that is just my opinion I hope i get a chance to burn a copy of NOP 4.1

Much easier to use Rox for rescuing computers.
For example permississions,,,deletes.
Why not throw it in as an extra.
Booted USB through defaults...OK.
But this is a hardware issue.
Another 2 gig Stax USB needed MBR Bin on Puppy 4.1.?
Thanks gray.

Notes on Nop
gray,
I observed a couple of things in Nop 4.1 that I think are not related to it per se, but worth noting.
1.) sgmixer stopped working and I could not recover it. Terminal said it couldn't run it. When I tried to use absvolume instead, same. I dropped back to a prior configuration. This problem has, I think been noted elsewhere in the forum for puppy 4.1. E.g. here:
sGmixer 4.1 official (2.6.25.16 kernel):
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... ce46284bc8
I dropped back to a prior configuration and this has not recurred.
2.) This might be a small bug in xfce/thunar. It has happened several times after making some panel changes, etc. I always configure thunar for single click and view as detailed list. When this problem occurs thunar always comes up after a reboot with double click and view as icons. Again, the only way I could fix this was to drop back to a prior configuration.
No problems at present. Nop is the best!

OpenOffice
alejobar: I use OO 2.4.1 from http://puppylinux.ca/tpp/bugs
wosifat et al who prefer Rox to Thunar : Philistines !!!
Henry: After Puppy 4.4.1 is out I will update NOP to add the fixes such as that for sgmixer. I will also upgrade to xfce4.4.3 / Opera 9.61 and flash 10.

thunar x rox
I do not know what philistines means but I would like to know it means thunar will stay as NOP oficial file manager. I could never manage rox properly. Definitely, I do not like it.
Hello gray!
I find one thing.
There is .desktop file of "ThunarBulkRename'' in '/usr/share/applications'
and its exec command is '/usr/local/libexec/ThunarBulkRename'.
But actually "ThunarBulkRename" is located '/usr/libexec/ThunarBulkRename'.
Anyway, you will upglade xfce and this subject may useless

Re: OpenOffice
Thanks for the link Gray, and just to verify, the .sfs file you can only use it with live cd and frugall install right? because I'm running full install and I mount the .sfs with boot manager, reboot and nothing happened, theres no open office on the menu, and I can see in boot manager that the sfs is mounted. so I'm lost here...gray wrote:alejobar: I use OO 2.4.1 from http://puppylinux.ca/tpp/bugs

Thanks Bizuayeu, I saw your link but I don't get it sorry , I understand that i have to unsquash the .sfs file to use it in full install, but how do I do that?Bizuayeu wrote:Hello alejobar!
unsquashsfs your .sfs file and you can use it.
http://man.root.cz/8/unsquashfs/
Simply run "unsquashfs OpenOffice-3.0.sfs.org" on xfce terminal.alejobar wrote:Thanks Bizuayeu, I saw your link but I don't get it sorry , I understand that i have to unsquash the .sfs file to use it in full install, but how do I do that?Bizuayeu wrote:Hello alejobar!

And copy all in squashfs-root to '/'.

Oh, the ways of cb88 and magerlab are more elegant.
Please pick up them.

uuhhhmm actually you can just mount the sfs and copy the contents out as per here http://www.puppylinux.com/hard-puppy.htm scroll down to installing c++ compiler and folow the same instructions
unsquashing would take much longer since you would be doing a lot of coping instead of just extracting it to where it is supposed to be as per the link

i use OpenOffice.sfs with "hot mount"(i so called...)
click on sfs( or open with filemnt) and go inside to /program and find swriter( or soffice) and then click on it and you'll get a running writer aplication
then go to options and choose enable quick-start( sorry if some terms are not matching, i have russian interface in OOO)and youll see a tray icon from where you can choose any app of the suite.
do not forget exit from quick start before unmounting sfs
here is what it looks like in boxpup( slightly customised look:)

Icon for Strawberry NOP
Dear Puppians,
Although I use my own "puppy distro" (qt3, qt4, KDE libs, GNOME libs, IceWM, Rox, OO 3.0, FF, dev libs, Slack 12.0), all in Mac OSX style, I can contribute an "icon" I recently modded that might fit the bill for a Stawberry NOP. Hope you like it, in spite of the overt culinary associations.
With kind regards,
vovchik
