radky,
I am of the impression that you are maintaining PupControl for older pups such as Lucid pup. Is that correct? If so, I am reporting what I see in xerrs.log when I install it in lupu and sulu2:

rerwin,

I'll prepare a general update and upload in a few hours.

The update will support both old and new Pups, including fixes for the pinstall issues you noted in lupu/sulu.

Thanks

Booted four Puppy Linuxes with pfix=ram

Here are the initial sizes of /tmp/xerrs.log, and after installing pupcontrol 3.0

@sheldonisaac,

Most applications, including PupControl, will add content to xerrs.log over time, so the log will grow larger even when all is well in Puppy. The added content often represents simple messages about the status of a given application, with no true error state.

In the case of PupControl, rerwin noted additional content in xerrs.log when running the pinstall script. The excess messaging was secondary to the initial search for .desktop files in the /usrs/local/share/applications directory. This is now fixed (quiet) in PupControl-3.1.

Thanks

hi radky
thank you for hard work.
your pupcontrol works great in
xenialdog 32 bit.
but. it is impossible to do:
basic settings, country setup,
hardware clock, time-date, time format,
time update...

can you make improvements also
for xenialdog?

thanks.

Hi zagreb999,

PupControl supports a broad range of utilities common to Puppy Linux, but very few of those applications are available in XenialDog. Unfortunately, adding support for the many unique utilities of XenialDog would require significant recoding of PupControl.

On the other hand, Fredx181 does great work in XenialDog and codes many of his own utilities. Possibly he has plans for his own control panel.

Thanks for your comments. Smile
