Unnamed pupplet (puppy411 kernel-2.6.27.5 Xorg-7.4 LXDE)
My Documents folder
Where does the "My Documents" folder on the desktop come from? How can we get rid of it?
"My Documents" is your home directory. You can disable the desktop
in Pcmanfm's preferences > Desktop > Manage the desktop and show file icons. And use Rox-Filer/CompizFusion/xsetroot to handle desktop wallpaper.
If you want to remove only the "My Documents" icon try to download the source package and hack it.

Thanks. Sounds like more than I thought. I'll wait for Mark's ICEWM sfs and see if I prefer it to Pcman.wow wrote:"My Documents" is your home directory. You can disable the desktop

Compiz fusion... totally white
I got fusion-icon to work, just installed the python depends, so that is all good... the only problem is when i start it (fusion-icon) the screen goes totally white and it works, but utterly sluggish, so I checked the xorg.conf, and it say
Section "Device"
Driver "vesa" #card0driver
Should it not say xorg, I have run xorgwizard multiple times. BTW i have nvidia 8600M card but xorg says nothing of that, i'lll try installing nvidia from www but I have already tried that with unnamed, and it did not work...

Bug:
Xorg-7.4-video-input-apps-i686-wow_411.sfs
You run xorgwizard, but just get a black screen.
Solution:
delete all sun drivers in /usr/X11R7/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/.
They are the reason, even if you have no "sun" graficscard.
After I deleted them, my S3 Savage was detected correctly.
I'll post a link, where you can download a rebuilt "Xorg-7.4-video-input-apps-i686-wow-patched_411.sfs" without the sun drivers in my next message.

NEW version 02 is here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 084#268084
---------------------------------
Happy new year!
I just came back from northern germany today, and am very tired.
So no details, but you can get downloads already.
The easiest way to test them:
1.) Start with a NEW savefile (or backup your old one first).
Then boot with newyearspupMU.iso.
It is 200 MB instead of 67, and includes "addons-1".
In addition, I included libSDL and from wow the files from the Mesa and glibc-locale sfs.
2.) The other way:
Use wows Iso.
Start with a NEW savefile (or backup your old one first).
Then add the addons you like.
They modify some systemfiles, so you need the backup, if you want to revert to wows original version
The most interesting is "Icewm_411.sfs".
It includes Icewm, and a "Desktopchooser".
With that, you can switch among different desktops.
See the screenshots, or the unfinished documentation.
Get all here:
http://puppyisos.org/isos/2008-07-to-12 ... -by-MU-02/
Password:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=28930
I'll post more details in the next days.
The documentation then will explain how everything works, and also include a small package with desktopchooser and desktopoptions, but without any desktop.
So it can be used to modify any other puplet.
The icewm_411.sfs also works with Puppy 4.12 after a quick test
------------------------
Here are some notes about my patches on the systemfiles:
1.) MuppyFiler+Quickmount+Freemem+xscreensize+gqview+backgrounds+sfscombiner+clocks+pbdict2_411.sfs:
-- these files get overwritten:
- Pupybasic 2.6 (wow included 2.5)
- filemnt patched fixes when 2fs files were not mounted
- /sbin/dir2sfs now accepts -nolzma or another other option for mksquashfs
2.) Icewm_411.sfs
-- these files get overwritten:
- /root/.xinitrc: run desktoploop instead $CURRENTWM, removed start of Rox-filer (that now is run by other scripts).
- yaf-splash + gxmessage to display utf8
- /usr/local/apps/Wallpaper fixes bug that puppypin is unset, add support for conky usind puppybackgroundsetter2.
- conky displayed further down, pmusic in it is deactivated as it used too many resources.
- /usr/local/bin/restart-lxde.sh checks different profiles
- /usr/sbin/fixmenus - does only run if changes were made in /usr/share/applications, support for localized icewm menu.
- new: /usr/sbin/run-xcompmgrnodock.sh - added C as parameter, so no longer draws shadows on docks like conky
- /usr/X11R7/bin wmpoweroff wmreboot restartwm might fix if X is not exited. See: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 019#263019
- /usr/sbin/chooselocale
removed downloadoption, run fixmenus afterwards, fix bug restarting X (see restartwm)
- /etc/xdg/templates/* modified the logout dialogs, added option to reload menu, added german icewm template.
----------------------------------------------------
-- these files are added in the base filesystem:
- wallpaper german translation

New puplet based on wow´s pup
I just want to say that I have made a new puplet today based on wow´s pup of 68 MB.
I have added some programs/stuff so the ISO-file is much bigger - 221 MB.
You can read about Puppy-Exton LXDE 2009 here: http://www.puppylinux.org/downloads/puplets/puppy-exton-lxde-2009

Could you possibly share this driver? The driver pet that wow pointed to works for my other nvidia cards but crashes with my 8600.logimax wrote: thanks! Thats a good tip, but I solved it anyway (DL nvidia tar.gz 180.17, fiddled a bit with it and everything is working like a charm)

The Nvidia 8800 GTS also crashes with the Nvidia drivers.
The reason is, that nvidias symlink /usr/X11R7/lib/xorg/modules/libwfb.so is incompatible with xorg 7.4 and some cards.
Solution:
to start X type:
mp /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Replace
with
Now you can start X by typing
xwin
Then extract the attached archive in /usr/X11R7/lib/xorg/modules/.
Then modify xorg.conf again to use and restart X.
The archive contains wows original Xorg 7.4 libwfb.so.
I also made an updated pet with it included (10 MB):

use linux-2.6.27.5-patched-Nov-12-2008.sfs and download from nvidia site the drivers, untar.gz, and exit X [CTRL+ALT+Backspace] and then run ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.17-pkg1.run , should nvidia look for kernel drivers (FTP) NO, compiling, should nvidia modify xorg.conf YES. restarted X and presto, all done...
Wow and Mu,
I've been having a great time with your latest release. So far it's worked fine except when I try adding other environments.
1. Gnome 2.20.3 works fine and boots into the gnome desktop except the extra applets won't load and had to be deleted and audio doesn't work.
2. KDE3.5.8 works fine and boots into the kde desktop, also audio doesn't work.
3. Weird problem with KDE 3.5.8 and 3.5.10 when trying to get Bibletime to work using Gslapt. Gslapt installs Bibletime, however, it has missing dependencies. Installing the missingKDE3510libs.pet corrects that problem and Bibletime works perfectly. But upon reboot, the reboot freezes while setting up services at the hardware abstraction layer. The only way out is a hard reboot. After many tries I discovered that this reboot problem is being caused by the missingKDE3510libs.pet. I've attached a listing of the libs that it adds. The missingKDE3510libs.pet has given no problem when used with other distributions such as Ripple, Boxpup, or just basic 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 and it provides the libs necessary to get Bibletime working with the kde sfs files mentioned above.
Thanks again for a fine distribution that has a bright future.
Jim
EDIT: I converted the missingKDE3510libs.pet to an sfs file and then rebooted using the new missingKDE3510libs_4B.sfs along with KDE3510_411.sfs (from Mu's muppy 084 files). Then using Gslapt, installed Bibletime. There were no problems upon reboot. Also, I tried to select KDE using the Desktopchooser which did not work. Rebooting to a prompt and typing "xwin startkde" started KDE3510. Two problems were noted, an error message "The application Soundserver (artsd) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV)" also on reboot you are taken to a prompt and have to type reboot or poweroff to continue.
Thanks for a great distribution, incidently I now prefer your Openbox+LXpanel+Wbar desktop to my long time favorite KDE desktop.

Jim,
the KDE 3.5.10 requires also the Opera-QT sfs, if you use not my big pup_411.sfs.
Hm, but as the desktopchooser works for you, you must have used the pup_411.sfs... as my icewm_411.sfs was broken.
I will check KDE again in the next days.
Concerning sound I might have to add more libs.
Muppy had a bunch of sound libraries, that I did not sort out yet for ultrapup.
So the missing-kde-libs.pet you mentioned certainly will help to find the required files. Thanks!
------------------------------------------------
I updated icewm_411.sfs.
It did not update Puppys systemfiles, so the desktopchooser did not work.
Fixed this, and also a bug with the wallpapersetter:
when you run:
pcmanfm --set-wallpaper xyz.jpg
and then:
pcmanfm any.file
then pcmanfm tries to use any.file as wallpaper!
A heavy bug, you may not be able to restart it then later, unless you set a new valid wallpaper.
So this error occured, when you had set a wallpaper, and afterwards clicked on a file in Muppyfiler to open it using the mime-system of pcmanfm.
The wallpapersetter now restarts pcmanfm, after a wallpaper was set.
This seems to work, but must be observed in the next days.
I also uploaded a selfcompiled Gimp 2.6.4.
I hoped this would fix the bug, that Gimp crashes, if you click on "Filesystem" in the "save as" dialog.
It does not fix it, so you must use instead the symlink /root/Filesystem.
And I uploaded Sylpheed 2.6.0 with GnuPG support.
Also selfcompiled, as two older versions I tried (Puppy 4.1 and Muppy 0084) crash when a messagetitle contains german Umlaute and you clicked on it.
A backtrace indicated incompatibilities with Pango or other libs, that Gtk relies on.
Now compiled with the new devx that wow supplied, it works fine.
And I uploaded wine 1.1.12 (Slackware 10.2), but did not test it very detailed.
At least a small freeware program runs fine with it.
I will upload the new pup_411 with the new gimp and wallpaper patch later as ISO. It takes very long to compress it using the lzma option.
