Grab them from here:
Compiz-0.8.4-Lucid.pet
cairo-dock-2.1.3.10-Lucid.pet.
Nevertheless, bewarned that the installation especially, for compiz is not straightforward. As I posted earlier (page 23 of this thread), I followed tombh's thread: Compiz-Fusion for Puppy 4.0.
As pointed out in that thread,
Well, my machine uses intel so I had no problem whatsoever.... there are only 3 main types of card that can run CF; ATI (newer than 7000), Intel (newer than i810) and Nvidia (newer than GeForce2).
Now, these are the steps that I took:
1. I installed a fresh luci-233 frugally and the first thing I did was to install O1micko’s
xfce4-4.6.2-511-beta-Lucid.pet.
Oh yes, compiz only works in xfce, KDE and gnome
Might work in Openbox but I didn't succeed trying that.
2. installed the new WmSwitcher (v7) before doing the switch to Xfce. However, fbpnel was still visible with openbox menus. I had to rename /usr/bin/fbpanel to fbpanel-old and after restart, it was gone.
3. Installed Xorg_High-1.1-Lucid.pet for 3D acceleration. (Note: no need to install the xorg_xorg_full_dri-7.3.pet as suggested by tombh in the Compiz thread posted above).
4. I then installed openshot. (Note: This version of Openshot contains a mini-python which will also be useful for the compiz ccsm.) You can install only the python_minimal-2.5.pet
or the full python found elsewhere in the forum if you don't want to install Openshot.
5. Installed Compiz. (Note: This version of compiz contains libwnck for better performance of Emerald. It also has the simple-ccsm which is a no-brainer in configuring Compiz. (Hint: I always use the "ultimate" option in simple-ccsm for smooth and better performance of Compiz).
It is now time to tighten our belts as we are going to make some changes to system files.
6. Open the file /etc/profile and add # at the beginning of line 88. That is:
Code: Select all
#export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1
8. Add this somewhere near the begining of .xinitrc:
Code: Select all
#start compiz
LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz --replace --indirect-rendering --sm-disable ccp emerald --replace &
sleep 3
To overcome this. I disabled the following lines in /root/.xinitrc:
Code: Select all
/usr/sbin/fixPuppyPin /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin #v1.0.7
if [ -f /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPan1 ];then
rox -p /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin -r /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPan1
else
rox -p /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin
fi
Code: Select all
#/usr/sbin/fixPuppyPin /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin #v1.0.7
#if [ -f /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPan1 ];then
# rox -p /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin -r /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPan1
#else
# rox -p /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin
#fi
Now if you want some further eye-candy, then proceed with the installation of cairo-dock.
9.. Install cairo-dock and add this:
Code: Select all
#start cairo-dock
cairo-dock -o &
Code: Select all
#exec $CURRENTWM
Restart your machine and enjoy.
cheers.
