Macpup Opera 2.0
Yes , change the theme to the imago-macpup theme . It's an older style theme that has bigger fonts in the menus. Shot of it on the first page. Or try this one :

O2 is off to a great start . After its first full day we are back in the top 15 at Distrowatch . We have stayed on the chart for the last 9 months.

a few troubles though
I love MacPup!, you guys have done a great job. The enlightenment WM is the most beautiful choice for puppy. Yet I have a few issues I couldn't figure out that I wanted to ask. Maybe the Macpup gurus can point me in the right direction.
First: When I try and add new startup splash screens to "/usr/share/enlightenment/data/themes/" they show up fine in the Startup section of settings. I can see them playing in the window and all seems well, yet when I click on it, then click apply and restart X, either the splash screen is the same as before I changed it, or there is no splash screen and it is just black with the mouse cursor showing. Do you know why the splash screens show in the window fine, but dont apply? Is there some way to check the configs, or something? It seems that E17 is having trouble saving my choice as it doesn't always happen with particular ones. Some dont work at all, and some work some of the time.
Second: Also about theming, I have download a bunch of themes from get-e.org, and e17stuff, most work fine but I have issues with some that I know worked fine with the original Macpup E17. Namely the night-bling, grunge, and Blue-Eyed themes. They apply but no shelves show up, or the shelves show but no wallpapers, or certain gadgets are missing from the shelves. Also when I change to these themes I cannot change back to any others! What I mean is when I go to the theme switching gui there are no themes listed and the gui is distorted. If I deleted .e and recopy it (i made a backup with it set how i like it), then I can reset it back. But this is a lot of bother.
And as an aide, is there anyway to install additional modules? I know there is a trash one, but its asking me to download via svn, and I have no clue what that is or how to use it.
Any ideas? I know its a lot but I am stumped, and there is so little E17 documentation out there I have to figure it all out myself. If I could just fix these few issues I'd be so happy with e17.

New MacPup
Hi,
I must say that this is a superb new release and is a joy to use. I lot of hard work must have gone into this new O2 release, thanks guys.
From a personal perspective I do have one slight issue though: I use a left-handed mouse and when I set the mouse to left-handed it stays that way UNTIL I either reboot or change the theme mid-session. I have tried this out on a full HDD install and on a pupsave via usb flashdrive and always it's the same; the mouse reverts to standard right-handed.
Can anyone shed any light on this or help with a fix?
Thanks,
Ade

Fonts
I will try the grey theme with larger fonts later (& thank you for posting runtt21) but there is a problem with the link for fake brushed metal
"Oops! Google Chrome could not find e17-stuff.orgcontentshow.phpfake+brushed+metal"
But I love the black theme that is included - which of course does not change when I change the global fonts.

joel I suggest downing a md5sum check on your download. Those theme worked fine in the build /test/download test rigs . Blue eye was missing the clock but most of the rest worked BUT remember these are some of the oldest e17 themes they are not going to support all of the stuff O2 has. They will run fine in macpup e17 cause that build of e17 is as old as dirt.
What start up screens did you try?
Remember O2's build of e17 is based on .061 that is the most stable version that works with puppy linux.That is why I went back to it.I still have the set of extra modules that go with this build but most of theme are not stable.The one's that are stable are included. If the module you want is new ,it wont work with o2.

Tried downloading with both puppy and another distro. Burned #2 with burn2iso, burned #3 with GnomeBaker. Used both mirrors.runtt21 wrote:I really think you have a bad download . I suggest downloading it again and reinstalling it.
Experiencing the same shutdown problem with all 3 attempts though only on this particular machine. Note: MacPup Foxy3.0 shuts down perfectly as does 431 and other puplets.

Same problem here!!
I am using a 2GB USB stick for O2. It boots quite well and everything seems fine until I try to shutdown or reboot. The screen just went blackout. I need to force poweroff the notetbook and reboot. (I have tried to download and install the .iso two times. Still no luck. Did not see the "save file" window.)
Other Info.
Computer: Thnikpad x60 | xorg settings: 1024x768x24
USB format: FAT32
I used another puppy's "bootflash" function to install the .iso to the USB stick.

Left-Handed Mouse
Hi Runtt21,
Thanks for getting back to me. Yeah, I did use the Wizard Wizard to set up the left-handed mouse, so I don't understand why it keeps reverting. Do you have any other suggestions or theories that could shed some light?
Thanks,
Ade

Thanks for the reply runtt21, The issues with grunge and blue-eyes is they apply fine but no wallpaper shows, and I cannot add one manually it just has a white background. As for night bling the background shows, but nothing else. Plus with those themes I cannot change to a different theme after applying it. I did do a md5 check and all was fine. I guess I will have to just pass on those themes. As for the starup screens, they seem to all work, but intermittently. Sometimes applying sometimes not. The only one that has never worked was the moon OS sky one. I will fiddle some more tonight and report back with some screen shots if possible.

Thanks Runt First thing first. Thanks indeed for the latest version. Looks great and the Enlight thing looks impressive indeed.runtt21 wrote:dolphinsupernova try setting it in both puppy ( wizard wizard) and e17 menu/settings/settings panel/input/mouse settings.
omskates & songzi try using xvesa first, But I think you may need to boot it using acpi=force .
My 80 year old neighbor needed the acpi=force on his machine to shut it down.
He did not get any English in education so he asks me if there is no such linux talking Swedish to him.
Some do but they fail to use his 228MB RAM they say it is too small to use for Ubuntu and Linux Mint try another distro they tells us. I try to help him.
To my big surprise your Macpup does have many words in Swedish on some menu but not all.
How can I add those he need to be in Swedish?
Another thing.
You did not make use of the SNS that modern pups have.
I guess such is need here at our compartment due to we lose connection each 30 minutes using the older ways to keep internet.
I guess we need something named DHCPCD and not just dhcp, how can I add that one?
I installed a Firefox pet so now it has both. All are happy.
You get your Opera and I get my Firefox. Yes I have used it since 2003 or so. I still prefer FF
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though
