Yes. this is how it loads (from Abi, but all apps are the same).

I posted the fix on the other thread http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 522#425522, for updated Rox, but to solve the filechooser bug you need to use this plus gtk+-2.16.6-i486.pet, which I cant upload due to its size.

The problem was that using these two .pets caused the focus bug in Rox filer. that is now fixed with Barrys latest one, which I think you have already installed.

I think I'll leave that for 003, if there is a 003 :)

I'm currently generating the final 002 ISO, it comes with the new gnumeric you asked for. Because the Abiword of 4.3.1 is so old it doesn't work with the new goffice, so I used another great package from technosaurus :D

So far in development builds I've noticed automatic wired network connection and pman ... it feels way more solid than 4.3.1, at least for me :)

Opera works great, blends pretty well, except one tiny problem with the desktop help icon. I'll figure this out. It works very well with Flash and feels very fast, but there's one problem - Opera's effects are software-rendered, so if you don't use Xorg with the GPU's drivers it starts slowly, or maybe it's just my crappy CPU. On xvesa it runs well, so I use Xvesa to get drivers in my first session, then switch to xorg :wink:

I can play a local FLV video, other formats should work too. I have no idea why, my music sounds better, maybe it's psychological. Many things are upgraded, as the slightly bigger size implies :wink:

Still has filechooser bug (am on it) and Opera is doing some weird stuff (still testing).
Otherwise looks and feel gorgeous. What Puppy should have been (IMHO)
Iguleder, would you consider putting the desktop default icons on an autohide launchbar at the top of the screen, or would that be too non Puppy? I have a .pet to do that because someone asked for it a while back...........

In fact, I downloaded your PET, I wanted to examine it for 005. I think it's very-non-Puppy, but it's still nice. I think I can add it to the first-run wizard.

I'm doing some experiments with GTK and JWM. So far, I fixed the tiny fonts problem of Opera, just use this as your /root/.gtkrc-2.0:

Code: Select all

# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT
include "/usr/share/themes/Polished-Blue/gtk-2.0/gtkrc"

style "user-font" {
	font_name = "DejaVu Sans 12"
}

widget_class "*" style "user-font"

gtk-font-name="DejaVu Sans 12"

include "/root/.gtkrc.mine"

# -- THEME AUTO-WRITTEN DO NOT EDIT
I also put a darker wallpapers, better for the eyes. At the moment I'm trying to make MIME-type handling better.

EDIT: a utility tray sounds like a great idea. It's JWM, so theoretically, it doesn't fall under the category of bling, JWM is already running. I think I'll try to make some tray with useful stuff that don't appear on the desktop, like pfind and pmusic.

If you go to setup>mouse/keyboard wizard, the pop-up window contains an entry 'configure your touchpad' This button is 'dead' because it should load flsynclient, which is not installed. I will try to find it and install it to see if it works. It is very small and works pretty well.

The two .pets from further up this page (http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 0ef#431915) fixes filechooser. No downside, no Rox focus bug.

Installed Liberation true type font .pet but no way can I make the system recognise the new fonts. this is a new one on me :)

Good morning Iguleder
For developing reasons: which DEVX-file would you recommend to use ? The one from from the Puppy4ever ?

f98ac0718bb914e8eb99f125d14c277a devx_432.sfs

Have a nice day.

Basically I don't recommend to use KLP for compiling, because it has new ffmpeg and all that, but it's built directly from a 4.3.1 ISO, so you should use the 4.3.1 devx.

Unable to add a printer. CUPS loads via the browser, the ppd files are dynamically created, and then deleted again before I can get to specify one. I had this myself when I tried to build 4.3.1 with Opera only, and never solved it.

'fraid not Roy. That thread describes what SHOULD happen. Here, the drivers are unpacked, but then deleted before I can select one. They should not be deleted before the browser closes.

Maybe Opera daemonizes so the script proceeds to the next line. I'll try to write a wrapper for Opera in /usr/bin/opera what runs Opera and waits :)

Xorg Wizard bug in klp-004

#34 Post by superchook »

This computer has a seventeen inch LCD screen which apparently returns the string CMV 17" as its model name. In the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file generated by the wizard the following line in the Section "Monitor" prevents X from starting.

ModelName "CMV 17" AD"

I always have to edit this line to

ModelName "CMV 17 AD"

In klp-004 I select Xorg in the first screen of the Puppy Video Wizard and highlight 1280x1024x24 before entering <Test_X_NOW>
This immediately returns:
Report on X test:
Resolution: x pixels
Horizontal frequency: KHz
Refresh frequency: Hz
Video driver: ati

If you are reading.....

Tab to <Tweak> then ENTER
<Tweak_xorg.conf> Enter
<OK> Enter
does _not_ bring up xorg.conf in an editor but instead takes you back back to:

Okay, just about to take the plunge......

The only solution is to _not_ <Test_X_NOW> but to try Xorg without testing first. The wizard then drops you to the command line after displaying the line:

If X failed to start, type "xorgwizard" to setup X

at the prompt enter

e3ne /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and edit the line

ModelName "CMV 17" AD"

to become

ModelName "CMV 17 AD"

ave and exit the editor. At the prompt enter

xwin jwm

and you arrive at the desktop.

cheers,

Did a fresh frugal install of KLP-004 on my old P3 test box.Everything appears to be working correctly out of the box.......no complaints here. :)

Looking forward to 005.............................
