Here's table renamed 2.14X Control panel with clarf's apps added
Is this supposed to be functional or just a graphic for comments?
It certainly doesn't work in my 214x RC frugal even after a reboot.
And can I suggest it goes other than in Menu>Personal. Suggest Setup.

Thanks ttuuxxx,

I didn´t fully tested 214X, so don´t know if bootmanager, remaster, installer, etc. works with the X change made to SFS. ttuuxxx did you run MHHP script to change all "R" to "X" references?, page 157:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... start=2347

The only one thing that I didn´t see in my initial test, was my updated rc.shutdown script :( , I made it to let users customize the pup_save name, please add this to next release (it´s down in same page 157).

Thanks again,
clarf

Yes I ran the script, It was only just my sfs converter that wasn't changed.

I thought I added your new rc.shutdown, hmmm can you upload it again please :)

Hi dave click on the text not the icons
ttuuxxx
Oh dear, I must be tired.
Yes it works clicking the titles not icons. I hope it won't always be like that. Find it rather counter-intuitive, which I just seem to have proven. :-)

Dave don't worry about it, I did it myself :) You've always been real handy with 2.14X, actually it would be nice if the images did launch the apps, then it would work like the desktop icons does :)

Sure ttuuxxx, I attached it. EDIT: The update shutdown script is already in the RC that you posted. My fault I already had an old SFS in HD with the 214X extension used for previous test... :oops:

Anyone has a suggestion for the Control Panel selection?. Do we have a icon selector app in 214X, didn´t see it?.

Greetings,

Just some small personal comments on the Control Panel.

1. as I mentioned above IMO it would be better if clicking the icons rather than the text would select them.

2. also I think this should be in Menu>SetUp not Menu>Personal

3. "Events" is a difficult one but think it deserves to be in Drives or even Miscellaneous, although I never like a Miscellaneous Category.

4. couldn't find Mouse/Keyboard setup. Also time/date/locale.

Otherwise it's really excellent.

Many thanks as ever

Dave

214x16 runs swift!

But every time I reboot I have to auto-dhcp to get internet connection even though saved configuration.

ttuuxxx,

if you want to do it yourself i'll understand, but i'm re-writting tabble to use the icons for launching as well as buttons, like my original pascal control panel...i'll send you the source when i'm finished if you like.(it will also include tooltip enablement...

Cheers

Bonjour à tous,
@ gposil and ttuuxxx
I would like to create an edition of Tabbles (Control Panel) translated into French for Toutou Linux 4.31.
I edited the file /root/.tabble for translate tabs and text utilities, but I also want to translate texts of options and change the title (Tableau de Contrôle).
Is there a translation file .po? Or should I recompile? And if so how?
Thanks in advance.
Cordialement ;)

Excuse my ignorance, I installed to HDD, it does not seem to ask me to save session when I shut down?

Hi,

Made a better Test for 214X-RC1.

All 214X references are OK, Puppy Remaster works, Shutdown script can personalize pup_save name (ttuuxxx you already updated the shutdown script, I had a 214X SFS in HDD from previous test :(, then I saw stuff from 214X16, sorry for the misunderstanding ), pup_save Resize is working fine, I can use BootManager with up to 8 SFS files :).

Although I had some problems with Xvesa. I never used Xvesa before but after a small Xwindow crash with an application I had to use it. In Xvesa I don´t have partition icons on desktop, Prompt to X, Shutdown and Reboot don´t work, those options only restarts Xwindow.... Anybody else with Xvesa problems?.

From Xorg side no problems found and everything workin really fine.

clarf.

New 214X Control Panel Configuration

#2446 Post by clarf »

Hi,

I attach a new configuration file for 214x Control Panel. I followed some Dave´s suggestions:

- Added Date item.
- Added Country settings (includes locale and keyboard settings)
- Moved HotPup to Drives.

Any comment is welcome.

Hello :)!

R vs X

There are a few more instances in the scripts where an R should be substituted by an X, I hadn't found them all when I reported on this earlier :oops: :oops: :P.

The R:s appear on the form of pup_*R.sfs, or similar, in (I think) the installer scripts (at least).

I just happened to see it when checking if the R-X fix was implemented, haven't checked thoroughly, though - yesterday I was working from 9 AM till 2 AM :shock: , and I'm at it again today.

Cheers :)/

clarf, on 214x i have never been able to use xorg b/c is crashes in firefox everytime, so I always have to use xvesa and i have always had the issues you mentioned. when i load a new 214X version I boot up in xorg b/c xvesa won't shutdown but don't go on the internet b/c firefox will freeze my computer. so... as mentioned, i boot in xorg shutdown, create a save file, boot back up, switch to xvesa, restart X and then I am good to go. thats my routine but since you asked yes, i have the same issues initially.
