KDPUP = KDE 3.5.10 + dpup 484 beta 4

#46 Post by Billtoo »

Dejan:

I installed tunapie in your kdpup484, first I updated the repositories in puppy package manager (that took quite a while) the exited ppm and restarted it.It installed tunapie with all the dependencies,then I exited ppm.I tried to run tunapie but it wouldn't start so I installed the dpup-devx-484.sfs and it worked.
The default video player in tunapie is set to vlc and the video played but no sound so I changed the default video player to mplayer and it works perfect.
I'm attaching a screenshot.

KDPup logout

#48 Post by shark1 »

KDPup is great - a fast KDE desktop and with the addition of OpenOffice it has everything I need.

To get the Kmenu/Logout to work I have created a directory called /root/.kde/shutdown and then coped the jwmshutdown script into that directory.

When you logout there is a short delay but the shutdown/reboot script will then execute.

Thanks Brad, that's good idea for shutdown will try it.
Also welcome to the kennels :)
Did you use puppy before? And post your PC specs if you don't mind.

Kdpup is working great for me, I didn't think I'd be able to play games like nexuiz and openarena in puppy but they both work in Kdpup.I installed them from the debian repos in ppm.They are older versions, nexuiz 4.2 and openarena 0.7.7 but still lots of fun to play.
My printer works too! I also downloaded openoffice from debian repos, version 2.4.1.

I have a full install of Kdpup on three computers.

pc 1 = Compac Presario S6700NX
1.5 GB ram, p4 2.8 with ht
radeon 9200 agp graphics card
pc 2 = Hp Pavilion a810n

radeon 9250 agp graphics card
pc 3 = Hp Pavilion a6220n
4 GB ram, Core 2 Duo E4500
Intel GMA 3100

Ktorrent

#51 Post by shark1 »

found that Ktorrent (the Rolls-Royce of bittorrents) would not work but that Transmission did work so there was not a firewall problem or similar.

The problem was with the permissions for /root/.kde/share/apps/ktorrent/. Changed that and Ktorrent works.

Silly question, how do you install pets? I have a number of pets downloaded but when i click on them I get Ark. I guess I am spoiled with just clicking on a pet and having it installed in the appropriate location. This reminds me of the old days when the big question with Linux was how do I and where do I install a program. :?

This pup certainly runs quickly and has lots of things to amuse me. :lol:

Thanks for the hard work. :D

@ fishy what shark1 said, you can also check "Remember association for this type" so it will be remembered next time you can just click on it

@tubeguy, yes use dpup's devx, since kdpup's base is dpup, I don't have my own.

kdpup is great

#57 Post by gnz11 »

got kdpup up and running again today.

on p4302/ 1g ram and dsl is smooth.

on home rig, p4 2.4mzh/512 w/1g swap it runs nice but dailup slows some things.

I have been using dpup for 6 months. kdpup looks like a good addition to the community for those who want kde and since it fixes the IM problems for the moment.

very nice work dejan.

Startmount

#59 Post by shark1 »

Startmount doesn't seem to work - selected drives are not mounted on restart.

Any Suggestions?

Hmm, I haven't used that, I usually make script to mount drives and put it in startup folder, but I will check it out later.

KDE pup resolution, networksetup, application questions

#64 Post by otropogo »

Have just tried KDPUP on my Intel D865GLC MB with 1GB RAM.

I had a problem configuring xorg. I usually run Puppy 4.3.1 at 1600x1200, and SLAX 6.1.2 at 1200x1024. For KDPUP I chose 1600x1200, but it gave me 1900x1200. It looks fine, but the icons and menu text are too small. I tried changing the resolution from the desktop, but would always get kicked back to the command line. The only other resolution that worked, 1200x1024, used only the top 2/3 of the screen of my 20" CRT.

I ran the default video player, but was unlable to get controls for pause or fast forward. Is there a fix?

I tried to go online, but couldn't get a connection. I looked for a way to configure the network (I've got an Intel 10/100 ethernet card connected to an ADSL modem and a router). But don't know how to set up the network. Is there a tool for this?

I also wonder whether one can set up users, so one doesn't have to go online as root.

And finally, how does one install applications - like xfprot, for instance?

You can't setup users - it's based on puppy, not multiuser
For network setup there's tool in either network or settings menu, puppy network tools are same as in other pups and so is the network wizard for lan cards.
For xorg - maybe you can try manually editing xorg.conf then restart X
Not sure what do you mean by default player not having controls - where from did you run it?
Clicked on some video file? which format was it?
