Its ok Ttuxxxx, dont blindfold yourself on our account, someone has already produced a bugfixed 4.2 with the usability features people need (bling?). It has SMP (dual core processor) support also.

All thats needed is to regress the still buggy abiword back to how it was before you upgraded it (I can hear the cursing around the world) and it will make a top base for the next CE or even official version. Wink

I don't think you can seriously recommend that smp version since it has no kernel source available. You can't compile nvidia drivers, vmware, or anything else kernel related.

I this version is pretty nice. no bling, and the choice to bring it back. also with the patches. Only a big shame you removed the JQ8flat-lite icons. Wink

those are my favourites.

But a big thanks for your work ttuxxx. Because I prefer this nobling version, and i'm using it.

I'm trying to get the JQ8flat-lite icons back. And i tried with a pet, but it wasn't applied 100% in the menu for example. Half of it was the JQ8flat-lite icons, and the rest the default icons. But perhaps i did something wrong or used the wrong JQ8flat-lite pet.

Hi ttuuxx,
Have you tried your vlc-0.8.6h-engv5.pet in Puppies 4.2-v2?
I reported my problem in the vlc post
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=31890&start=165

I would be very greatfull if you could sort out the problem as I really prefer vlc for my installs and have now got your Puppies 4.2-v2 installed and working well.

thanks

DC

As I mentioned on the bling poll, it was a poll of current puppy users, not new puppy/linux users.....puppies aim. What it did prove is that there was a sizeable proportion of existing (not future) forum users that thought adding the extra useability features offered was worth the extra bloat.

I recognise there is a need for a bugfixed "no-bling" version 4.2, but there is also a need for a bugfixed "with-bling" version too.

Would you spare 5 minutes of your time to document what you did to take the "bling" out, so those that want/need it can have a bugfixed version too? No one is expecting you to "support" it, just to recognise that some people have different needs to yourself.

Ecomoney,

I agree with you that we need a bug fixed bling version. However, you cannot expect Tuxxx to do it and should not be hijacking this thread to request it. Tuxxx has made his views on the matter very clear and we should respect that.

I think there is a place for the no bling version and I congratulate Tuxxx in getting it done and, more importantly, swiftly adding the patches.

I am disappointed that Whodo has not released 4.2.1, i.e 4.2 plus patches, now that the situation has stabilised. I was expecting it as an Easter present! To expect newbies to download the standard Puppy, which by the freememapplet alone is obviously broken, and then go find patches on a forum they may not know about I find ridiculous. I just cannot point to the standard 4.2 in the Lin'N'Win instructions because of this. I would look a fool pointing to a bugged Puppy and it does Puppy no favours. I will, of course, be pointing to the no bling version in due course.

Perhaps you, Ecomoney, can start with the bling version, add the patches and remaster and then offer up to Eric for hosting. If not then start a thread to ask for someone to do it.

Now let this thread get back to discussing no bling.
