Luci-236 with the latest Trinity..................

[peebee]

Many thanks to Iguleder for giving us further updates to test and admire....

I've loaded the new SFSs onto a frugal install of luci236 as thats the main route that people will see its availability I think.

I first tried it with a pristine (new) lucisave and then I reused the lucisave that I'd been using with the previous version ("downgrading" it to jwm and removing the old SFS load before doing the transfer)

The main usability problems I have (none show stoppers but maybe need health warnings of some sort for Lucid Puppy users) are:

1. no usb detection onto the desktop - pmount can be used

2. now solved

3. reboot and poweroff not automatic from menu - have to type shock horror at prompt or use PupShutdown Manager pet

4. now solved

5. menus are a mishmash of Lucid and Trinity entries with most Lucid items in the humungous "Lost & Found" menu.

6. Konqueror file manager does not have actions for Puppy file types - RoxFiler is occasionally needed.

Would love to help to make some of these better but not clever or knowledgeable enough to know where to start.....for instance if I started to tidy up the menu structure how would I export my results so that they could be used by others? Or if I were to tailor PupShutdown how would I create a new Trinity specific PET?

Cheers
Peter

This Trinity experiment is so funny ... lulz

I want to try another approach - make a mutated Pdebthing version just for Trinity and use the Trinity repo of Debian Squeeeze with the Ubuntu Lucid repo - Trinity itself from the Trinity repo and all dependencies from Ubuntu Lucid. There's a good chance this won't work ... but I still think it's a good idea.

I also intend to start working on the actual trinitypup experiment - a "kdpup" built with Woof. The previous plan was to bake a barebones "dpup", then stir it with the Trinity SFSs, but the recipe turned out to be non-booting

In the first KDE (base) when hovering with the mouse over a running application in the system tray, I got the complete name in a 'balloon'.
With this latest Trinity not any more.
I checked settings of the system tray, but didn't find where I have to tick an option.
Anyone knows?

With this new Trinity-core, amarok still don't run on my PS apart from a 2 second splash screen.

A way to get the sound control in the tray is:

Run kmix - this creates a tray item and opens a window
Close the kmix window
Save the session
In the Session Manager - choose start with saved session

I have worked now with trinity-core and the apps.
In squeeze 009 as well as in lucid 236.
In squeeze I have slowness and functions of wine programs that don't work any more. A new save file had to be made.

In lucid 236 I had the applications, like SeaMonkey on the screen but not in a window. So I didn't have the close button and I had to cole by menu|file|quit.
In ROX there is no menu, so I had to kill the application.

I had to make two times a new save file already for lucid.

Hi,
on my Puppy 5.1.1 frugal i removed 2 previous packages and replaced them with new *trinity*.sfs ones.
Now during boot I can only get to command line, no one window manager starts. When I type startx, I get to JWM. But from there I can only shutdown/reboot. No other option in Shutdown menu section works!
What is wrong?

[Béèm]

You have to type xwin startkde
