dpup-482beta testing
/root/.wbar for setting icons. for changing position/other options look in /root/.xinitrc for wbar line, it may be implemented in theme changer scripts too, is it gposil?

Does wallpaper take script from Startup folder so it runs it how you configure it or has fixed command? Also I noticed after changing background when wbar refreshes "Home" icon opens /usr/share backgrounds folder. Maybe start with command rox ~/ ?

Yes, wallpaper setter takes script from Startup, and the not starting at home problem is fixed in beta5...I just forgot about that before I released beta4....
If anyone's thinking of making a config GUI that would be great, the ones that are already available, have ridiculous dependencies...GTKdialog would be perfect...I just haven't had time....

wbar gui - wbarconf
Hi Gposil,
I have been using wbarconf for some time now on many versions (puplets) of puppy, the latest being Karmic-pup. Actually, it was packaged for me by CatDude (forum name). It depends on python and it weighs about 1.5 Mb. May be that is quite big for a gui but I really care less about sacrificing just this size (space) for easy configuration of wbar. I can post it here directly but I would prefer you contact CatDude (through pm?) if you are interested.
Cheers.

@gposil - thanks for looking at my xorg problem.
I've looked a little further and found a problem with a missing file. Here's what I did.
1. Booted to xorg/xvesa menu
2. Choose xorg and default res -> blank screen
3. ALT-F1 to console and start xorgwizard
4. choose XVesa -> blank screen and no activity after waiting for 1 minute
5. ALT-F1 to console
Console has a file not found message for command "cat /etc/videomode"
I guess this is not even letting me fall back to vesa.
FYI - despite the relative newness of my system it has a strange problem in that Xorg cannot get Videomode data (EDID) from my Viewsonic monitor. I spent many hours with numerous linuxes trying to track this down. Finally found out that I could export the EDID data from the monitor to a file and load that up as a custom display line in xorg.conf. Haven't figured out how to do that exactly from the console but official puppy at least falls back to Xvesa so its not a problem. However it seems that dpup is not falling back to vesa so I'm stuck. Hopefully the absence of the videomode executable is the only thing preventing me from running X with dpup.
If there's a fix I can try with the current beta or downloading a future beta, let me know and I try it out.

Hmmm,
I had trouble resizing a pup_save,,, looking at the script "pupsaveresize" should be in "/initrd/mnt/dev_save"... it IS in "/initrd/mnt/home".. what is going wrong???
Also, I'm not able to paste text into "console", a little annoying, especially when it looks so nice!
Cheers

With pasting to console? Not for me.. but the "pupsaveresize" is now... a little strange.dejan555 wrote:Middle click doesn't work?I'm not able to paste text into "console"
Pasting to urxvt is ok.

Just to try to clear up some occasional tiny confusions that can make things look other than they are---- if these don't apply for you here, please forgive me:
1.) When going to Xvesa from xorgwizard, nothing will happen after clicking XVESA UNLESS you also type "xwin" and enter. This is different functionality than choosing XORG, which will immediately try to start X. That one has bitten me several times, you'd think I would remember it after enough times of confusing a blinking prompt at the bottom of the screen with a failure to start X.
2.) When copying text into the terminal with the middle mouse button, you must have JUST selected text prior to the paste. Doing anything else often loses the contents of the clipboard. You must have it positioned just right in the terminal screen. It is better NOT to click "Copy" in "Edit" or a mouse right click dropdown before trying to paste with the middle mouse button. Just select the text you want, that's all. Then push the middle mouse button when you're exactly over where you want to paste it.
Again, sorry if I'm re-stating things you already find obvious -- just saying it in case someone has made the same mistakes I have.

Resizing dpupsave-???.2fs

I just tested resizing the save-file, and it worked for me.

Yes, this is how it should behave, higlight text and while it's still highlighted middleclick to paste. This works for most applications, I think it's X feature.vtpup wrote: 2.)

It's not to be confused with regular clipboard that works with Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V those are two separate clipboards AFAIK.

Drive-Icon-stacking
Hello!
I am a man of many partitions, running in screen-res 800x600, so I always have the drive-icons stacked to the right hand-side of my screen. I know shinobar's code was incorporated into /sbin/pup_event_frontend_d of 4.3, which is also inherited into dpup-482. And it does take care of some oddities of the placing of drive-icons BUT, does not tend for us needing more than one row for the drive-icons.
Anyway, from 412 and onwards, I just use my modified /sbin/pup_event_frontend_d, which resolves the issue for me.
Just in case anyone uses the same unfortunate combination of many partitions and low screen res, here's what I do:
add to /sbin/pup_event_frontend_dchange JWM taskbar height to 26 in /root/.jwmrc-tray.
To try it out, first delete all lines with /root/.pup_event/drive_xxx in /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin, delete /root/.pup_event, then restart X-server.
I have only tested with (narrow) screen-res's, like 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, though.

COORDSGRID="`grep -o ' x="[0-9]*" y="[0-9]*" ' /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin | sed 's/[0-9]"/"/g'`"
