Merci beaucoup charlie!
Of course you are the best contributor.
The PS/PDF problem you pointed was a great contribution to our LupQ and the solution is now also implemented on the Lupu 5.1.1.

Félicitations à notre équipe.

Frugal installation of LupQ-511 with new save file looks good but still has problems:

1. It has same problem as mentioned before about mouse click focus being improper with DuDE-0.4.1. I'll try to clarify the problem. Note the attached desktop. With the mouse click options as shown, the proper action is that a left click anywhere on the desktop (except on an icon) will open the programs menu which it does. However, clicking on an icon, should execute that icon. As you can see, clicking on the home icon opens the program menu. RestartX will correct the problem temporarily, however, if there is a left click anywhere on the desktop other than an icon the problem returns.

2. Another serious problem is with firefox which gives this error when run from a console:

Code: Select all

# firefox
/usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libdbus-glib-1.so.2: undefined symbol: dbus_watch_get_unix_fd

Cheers,
Jim

Thanks for testing JIm.
But I cannot reproduce your problems.

As for DuDE, I am not used to and iI don't know how to configure it. I have just tested with the default settings and found no problem.
Hope someone investigate this problem.

Firefox, I cannot find any error messages. I installed the firefox form the Quickpet. Can be conflicting with some other additional pet or sfs?

Saw these PET/SFSs in your folder

Quickset looks and sound interesting. I am downloading now.

Have these all been tested with Quickset too.?
Edited:...Check your PM

I failed to mention that it is firefox-4.0 beta which does work fine in Lucid with the same applications loaded.

Hi everyone.
I want to know if Lupq has a Python interpreter.

Posted: **Mon 27 Sep 2010, 04:56**

Bonjour ginu.berg,
welcome!

want to know if Lupq has a Python interpreter.

Have a look in Menu/Setup/Setup Puppy/Puppy Package Manager/ in Puppy-Lucid repo (checkbox checked n the above right corner of the dialog bo), under "Utility" (do check corresponding checkbox):

find there Python-2.6-Lucid given as Python interpreter.

Cllick on it and it will be downloaded and installed (provided the internet connection is working !)

The same Puppy Package Manager (short = PPM) allows to get a wide variety of programs : click on "Configure Package Manager" to access more repositories among which the ubuntu repositories.

Have fun
Cordialement, charlie

Thanks to all reporters.

Regarding additional applications, you have 4 options.

PET's from the Quickpet and from the Puppy Package Manager(Puppy-Lucid repository):
They are tested on Lupu, and should work also on LupQ.
Packages LupQ special available from here:
All tested on LupQ. Some may not work other than LupQ.
Ubuntu Lucid packages:
Expected to work on LupQ. You need to resolve the dependencies.
PET's for Puppy 4.x, and other packages:
Some may work and some may not work on LupQ. Encouraged to report to this topic if you think it a useful information for other users.

Hi, jim.
Does your firefox fails with this error or works even with this error?

The shared libraries on LupQ is striped off the debugging information. It may cause trouble when the applications run with debugging mode.

I made a pet to add more right click options.
I added the rar archiving program since it fit in nicely
and the extract-pet program.

Additionally I tied in Abiword since it can open several file formats.
The usual archives and packages can be opened.
Video files are opened full screen. with
the command 'mplayer -fs filename'

I just did a full install. Working well so far-no issues. I see you included grub4dos instead of just grub. Why is that?

Posted: **Fri 01 Oct 2010, 12:21**

shinobar, love your version. I use it daily. I feel no need to use any other Puppy or other Linux distro.

But an annoying thing is that you??? or is it Lucid deciding and you accepted. Have not tested but two of the Icons to the most left lower corner. SDA1 and SDA2. are locked there each time I boot while all the others accept the place one gave them before shutting down.

How does one unlock these icons? All else seems to just work.

Good question, maxpro4u.
Actually, LupQ has both Grub4Dos and Grub legacy, but only the Grub4Dos is on the menu.

Grub4Dos can do all the grub legacy can. It can read even the menu.lst written for grub legacy.
Grub4Dos does not require Linux partitions. You can boot up PC's only with NTFS/FAT, most common Windows pre-installed PC's, without rebuilding the partitions.
The only one problem of the Grub4Dos is the case the first partition is EXT4 file system. That is why LupQ has the both Grub4Dos and Grub legacy.
Users need not aware with. The grub4dosconfig automatically arrange the boot sequence using grub legacy chaining to the Grub4Dos.

As the result, LupQ can boot up any combination of the partitions, NTFS/FAT/EXT2/EXT3/EXT4/RiserFS.

If you are used to the grub legacy, it is easy to switch to the Grub4Dos. The syntax of the menu.lst is upper compatible with the legacy.

You can configure the ROX-Filer for icon position.
Right-click the 'file' icon and 'ROX-Filer' > 'Options..'.

EDIT: Sorry, it is not.
You may need to modify some scripts...

EDIT2:
Edit the file '/etc/eventmanager' with text editor.
Maybe at the last lines:

Code: Select all

#left, right, bottom, or top of screen...
ICON_PLACE_ORIENTATION='bottom'

Posted: **Fri 01 Oct 2010, 12:52**

Sorry, gave my best to follow this instruction.

See no Prefences are you talking about Options?

But that did not help me either, numerous options have no idea which one lock the icons.

Edit 2.

wow that look promising indeed.
