(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Nooby, I have FF and Opera as extra installed on my machine.
In spite SeaMonkey is installed as a base, I can run them without problems.
In other words, SeaMonkey is not preventing this.

looks like a case of the squeaky wheel gets the oil

nooby, this Icewm works http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... -lucid.pet

Exit from X and type "xwin icewm" at the prompt.

Nooby the Squeeeeeky wheel to your service.

Jay! Cool that just worked as you described. Big friendly smile now I write from within Spup-100 using my old .mozilla on the mnt/home and SFS-Exec loading a FF3.6.sfs and it remember almost everything.
And the picutes due to install of the Icewm are now in 1024 x 768 so very good indeed.

Love it. This Nooby Squeeking wheel got oiled to his satisfaction.

Beem, thanks for encouraging words. Yes Opera worked well last time I tested it.

Now due to Micko I get FF 3.6.16 and writing from it now. Jay!
Beem while I have your attention.

Your set up seems to require that one have on partition for each puppy?

I love the symlink to apps placed outside pupsave and I have that for FF but I wish there existed an easy to follow description or script that worked for newbies.

There you go!

Billtoo.. certainly weird that wallsetter issue. I know it was buggy in quirky awhile back but I thought Barry fixed it, strange I can't break it and we have been using it since 051. Maybe something got corrupted in /root/.config?

I've got two spup installs where pwallpaper doesn't work, one is a usb
flash drive and the other is a sdhc card.
I have another spup install on a hard disk where pwallpaper does work,
could the problem be with the speed of flash/sdhc vs a hard disk?

Seems we have the same problem with Iron Browser and Spup-100 (just like Spup-099). I tried every version of Iron 6-7-8-9 and same error message. Tried each with (and without) the dependencies on page-1 of this tread.

Also had a problem with wallpaper changer 'eating' my background graphics when updated to 100. Had same problem in 099 but changed the background graphic-name I wanted to 'default' and that seemed to correct thye problem.

Other than that, all seems to be working OK so far!

Just got round to installing spup-100.

Took a bit of fiddling about but managed to get every thing set up the way i like it

cheers.

I did a frugal install of spup 1.0.0

Nooby,
I have two partitions. A ntfs one with XP and a FAT one.
Puppy files are in directories.
I use the Lin'N'Win method, which provides a kinda grub, but not written to the MBR.
The menu.lst takes care of finding the different puppy's to boot from.

Beem then I apology. I thought I read somewhere you did mention one partition for each Linux? Maybe you wrote one subdir or each and my confusing brain changed that to partition. Okay then so much better. I would love you described that so a newbie could replicated it it is so handy to be able to place programs like Firefox on the mnt/home and reuse them in next and next puppy without starting all over each time.


Re the SRware Iron error. Hey I did get such too but there was a way to still get it to work but now I don't remember anymore.

I have Iron on Lupu 513 which has Pemasu's SnowPup 5 and that one work with a Iron that mikeslr downloaded from their site and he made a small pet for the loading of the tar.gz thing that one put in a dir.

Have you tested that one? I don't remember which other puppie it works on. Is Spup-100 that different from 513?

micko, also can confirm that icewm pet works. I've also used the version (at least in 099) that is in the pet packages 5 directory that was designed for Lucid 5.1.1 without issue.

On Seamonkey - there are positives and negatives to including a browser with the distro, I realize. I also realize that this is kind of a thang here on the forum. However, as you point out, a browser is needed for some of the initial setup, etc, and if a browser has to be included...well, include a full browser. Many of the lightweight versions like Dillo and Midori are admirable, but all of them are somewhat unsuitable for browsing the net. Including Seamonkey gets you a workable, usable browser, and a solid email client as well. And, any user can then add their preferred browser or email client as the default, be it Chrome or Firefox or Opera, or T-bird or Sylpheed. But the user that decides to stick with the distro as is, at least has a secure and functional web browser in Seamonkey. Plus, long term, Seamonkey has enough heavy duty geeks on its side to assure that the browser and mail client are always secure and up to date. That is a very big thing.

My dos centavos, useless as always.

[quote="01micko"
cowboy.. well the "rerwin fix" didn't help eh? Maybe I got the wrong one? Can you do a cross check from lupu to spup of the file /etc/udev/rules.d/00-i915_modeset0.rules and make sure it's the same please? .[/quote]

01micko, I found the i915 file in Spup, but it does not exist in Lupu. Here is a shot of /rules.d in Lupu 5.2. Please tell me anything further you might need, or if I'm looking at something incorrectly here please. Thank you.

Which puppies need the i915.modeset=1 thang then?

Some say it is already built in and others say one should have it. Being as non-structed as I am I have no clue on such. Are there some test one can do that indicate that it is a good thing to have in Spup? I have a small Netbook Acer D250.

Just to be sure (one more time) I fress installed Iron-9 from the PPM. Other versions from 6 thru 8 at least gave me the 'Awh Snap' screen but with Iron 9, nothing, did not even attempt to run.

While just sitting in dismay in front of my monitor, I noticed something I never took note of before... my CPU gauge was 'full top' to the point where I almost thought I saw smoke coming out of my monitor and it stayed there. I deleted Iron-9 from the system through PPM, went back to desktop, still CPU was 'full top' and staying there. I shut down with a reboot... CPU was running as cool as a cucumber! Thats a mystery, Iron is doing something it shouldn't.... at least on my machine. It's funny, all Puppys from 511 up through 525 have never had a problem with an Iron browser (any version) is it possible I wonder if it is something with Slackware my system doesn't like???

Writing this with Spup-100 and Seamonkey but, IRON is still my perferred browser.

>>>---Indian------>

Spup-100 is suffering from the same problem as Lupu-525. If you boot off a flash drive with no internal hard drive, you get "Searching deeper .. spup_100.sfs not found".

I'm betting that the latest Wary does the same thing.

[Edit] It does.

With Gkrellm and icewm. LOVE that wallpaper!

Also FF 4 and Aqualung.

Confirmed. Also confirmed by 'perthie' on BK's blog.

Been using Spup with the ATI crystal graphic to watch streaming video.
Been using Xchat and Seamonkey.
Got a bit confused adding Xaralx from slackware but got it working well enough to use. The dependency thing is difficult to sort out for those of us weaned on Quickpet . . .

Seems a solid spup to me

No pattern to detect could be every minute or so, but could be also long periods in between, but regularly I loose my connection.
Having then the url not found message from the browser.

I found out, that when waiting a bit and retrying, I have access again.

Quite annoying and don't know how to diagnose further.If someone has an idea?

Hi Beem
Have you tried the lupu stay-connected pet:
