Quote: | Has nobody else tested Sylpheed in Lupu?
The first time you run Sylpheed, it creates a mailbox folder called Mail in /root and a hidden .sylpheed-2.0 configuration folder. However, Lupu already contains an old configuration folder. So when you run Sylpheed the first time, it thinks that it is set up correctly. Since its Mail folder does not exist yet, you can't send or receive messages.
Deleting the configuration folder and running Sylpheed again solves the problem. |
NO CLUE "Sylpheed" was the name of the email program in Puppy from the icon, never tried to use it before... sorry.......
Will give a try shortly.. thanks....

Yes, as part of Quickpet.
There is a new Instant Update (002) posted on Lupu News under the News tab in Quickpet. It provides libjpeg7, latest index of puppy-lucid repo, enables laptop function keys for volume, brightness, etc., sets Netsurf home page, removes buggy Icewm Xtreme-ReAnimated theme, configures Sylpheed email, fixes USB bootflash, links fsck, and adds Dusk IceWM theme.

Yes, as part of Quickpet.
OPINION:
That should be on the desktop... kind of hidden tab.. now I know where to look. Also add the link to all the browsers if possible in the bookmarks

Very cool;
Bootflash works fine from full install now.

OK, this is brilliant. Been using it full time since RC2 with zero problems except Full Screen in Firefox (F11) which borked my profile, actually in JWM this time! After using full screen mode, returning to normal left me with no window frame. I never could get it back, so had to re-create .mozilla. Might have been caused by the Chromifox theme, or maybe CompactMenu, dont know, but I will be damn glad when Linux gets the new FF4 interface
I installed the Fontwizard from iguleder, but modified the script a little to give 'hintslight' instead of 'hintfull' as IMHO that works best on LCD screens like mine. I get slight colour fringes to letters here and there but in general, font rendering is the best I get in anything other than Gnome.
For some strange reason, printing is the best from any Puppy so far....odd.
The update via Quickpet was flawless. Cool.....
The video performance is great even without Xorg-high (intel)
This is a really fine release... Thanks guys.....

Agree with DAVES, printing is the best so far AND Wifi is very reliable as well -- and it remembers settings from boot to boot.

rcrsn51did his fair share in that department, I know playdayz had a good cups template too. I tested printing in every lupu since 502... I got me a new printer (er... wifey had the printer under her "work station", a bobby pin fell into the old printer and stripped the gears ..hmmmm..)
Cheers!

The print QUALITY is important to me Mick as I am printing accounts and invoices, and this Puppy is the best so far.

Hmmm, same as Beem, but now worse.
Started yesterday after upgrade.
I run Firefox, first click showed server error for any webpage, then connected on second click.
Finally, it suddenly shutdown my router connection!
Today on starting Firefox again, it did same. Disconnected router from DSL.
Just now same again, run up Firefox and accessed forum plus ebay and boom, DSL disconnected again.
I have to reboot the router and run the Internet Wizard each time to get network up.
I also noticed that compared to normal the DHCP connect is much much longer, it nearly times out.
I'll monitor it and maybe start a fresh frugal and pupsave.

Testing 5.1 for first time. Edit. Forgot to tell everybody "Thanks for a very good job. Looks cool and as far as I get it does work very good apart from what I write below.
A kind of bug or user failure maybe.
I fail to make it remember me a Swede. You know crazy chars like åäö and such.
I have to give it setxkbmap se each time me start up.
In menu.lst I told it to pkeys=se and thought that would do it.
It does say that it does load the se table but still when testing in console it shows [ instead of å or whatever it is supposed to on a US keyboard.
Yes I know one can do a special set up but I have already done the High pet to give it the best Intel driver so I don't want to do all that again.
So either it is me taking things in wrong order or it fail to make use of the pkeys=se
I looked in /lib/ and the se.gz is there.
What is best way to get Swedish keyboard?
I go to bed now so hope to find some suggestion within 20 hours or so

OK, I took a look in petget and Barry has the "-T" param set to "-T 20".. ok so I did that, doesn't make sense to me to add it to the loop.
Also added the sleep preference, it was easy and may be useful to some, especially on slow equipment and connection.
Also added delete if petget fails to install, but it stays if only download fails.
scsijon and Kevin Bowers please test, and anyone else can test too.
Cheers |
much better mick, still failed but it did attempt to download
just timed out, will try again later when i've rebooted in case that's all that is needed
EDIT: OK after reboot, downloaded and installed ok
regards
scsijon
ps i've had no firefox problems, are those having problems using 3.6.8?
