Click File System on the Wbar launcher at top of screen. Then click on mnt. Scroll down and click on icons for Automount and Startmount. Or click Menu | Filesystem.

For the next release, I'm planning to change the default for automount to off, with option to turn it on in first run wizard. Startmount is not available at first boot, but is after shutting down and creating a save file.

@TazOC
Thank u for reply.
The wrong download link I got from Puppy Package Manager when I click LightHouse. It directs me to:
http://www.lhpup.org/download502.htm#SFS

I have radeon driver running at the moment.
I shall try Catalyst now.

Please take a look on my black list module.
It keeps loading blacklisted driver. I still move it to the right pane.
rtl8187 has a few copies in there. Is it normal??
I can not set ndiswrapper over rtl8187 because there is no ndiswrapper on the list. How should I write it there?

thanks and regards

The Lighthouse Base CD has JWM, IceWM, LXDE and Openbox. The Mariner ISO adds an Xfce4 SFS. The current default WM is JWM. To try another, just log out and choose from the available WMs displayed. One way to check is open a terminal and type ver. Line 7 displays Current window manager, and the startup script used to start it from a command line.

Xfce 4 Pet is available via Lighthouse Update. SFS is at http://www.lhpup.org/download500.htm#xfce

Embarassed I forgot about that, thank you! I have updated the web site so it should work now from the Lighthouse button.

Try opening /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf with a text editor and add a line
Code:
blacklist rtl8187
if it isn't already there, save and reboot. Or try BootManager | Give one module preference... | scroll down to the end and type
Code:
rtl8187:ndiswrapper
on a new line, press OK and reboot. BootManager writes to the file /etc/rc.d/MODULESCONFIG

tazoc, thanks.

So one can not tell the script on the kernel like to over ride the script within? One need to change manually after booted?

Or if one could write a bash script one could make that autorun to change the jwm to one of the other? Then it is part of teh save file right?

Logging out saves the active WM to ~/Choices/windowmanager. Yes, that is in the save file. So it is remembered for next X restart or reboot. Same applies to switching WMs via the log out panel. As long as you log out, (rather than pressing Ctrl+Alt+BackSpace) your chosen WM will be saved. So you can switch at Log out as desired, and your current WM becomes the new default.

There is no boot option for WM, just pfix=nox for no Xorg, boot to command line. Then type the command from Line 7 of 'ver' in a terminal to start desired WM. ex: xwin starticewm

Thanks tazoc but it does not seem to be the JWM at fault.

pemasu's Snow Puppy does have JWM and that puppy can show 1024 x 768 as 1024 x 768 while LHP show everything as 1024 x 600 whatever I do.

Unless you have a suggestion.


I use Acer D250 which have a 16:9 screen 10" and the external screen that I want to use in 1024 x 768 is more likely the formfactor??? 4:3

So only Snow puppy and Puppeee/Fluppy don't care about such things.

Lighthouse force everything to be 1024 x 600 and if I take 800x600 then everything is too big to be usable.

Béèm wrote:
5.02G automount, rox setting
I redid the settings again and for problem 2 I did a reboot.
Now the setting did stick. Don't know why it didn't stick in the first try.
Hi Béèm,
The Mariner SFS setup script, (autoruns at login after the SFS loads) has a detailed setup option, if you turn it on, there is a dialog asking whether or not to use LHP defaults for ROX or keep your custom settings.
Quote:
I just discovered that there is another script automount-setup. I had to un-tick the option auto-mount all at startup
Now only the previously selected sdb1 is auto-mounted.
Confusing this dual script approach. It would be more user-friendly to have all related options in one script.
I agree, although I'm planning to disable Automount by default so it will be optional. Startmount can't run at first boot, so I will add a tip about Startmount to the Automount dialog. PupControl has a button for Startmount and I plan to add one for Automount, as well as CPU Frequency Scaling (wcpufreq).

I finally figured out why Wine reports two versions. When I separated the 'zWine' SFS from the main file, I didn't remove libwine.so.1.0 from /usr/lib, so that outdated lib in the main file took precedence. That will be fixed in the next release.

I'm updating the Puppy universal installer to account for the separate zWine SFS and the /isolinux dir in the LHP ISOs. LHP 5.03 will offer updated LibreOffice, Opera, bugfixes for PUPMODE 77, (multi-session CD/DVD mode) the boot error with encrypted save files, and others reported in this thread.

I've been thinking about it and nothing appears amiss in htop. Looks like you're in IceWM. I assume restarting X or rebooting doesn't help. Same behavior in JWM? Is it the same when booting with puppy pfix=ram? Without Mariner or other SFS?

Try uninstalling JavaRE in PPM, then install the latest version in Lighthouse Update.

Run report-video to see what display driver is active. If Xorg vesa or Xvesa, try a driver specific for your graphics adapter.

If you're not using a webcam, disable v4l by commenting this line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Code:
#   Load  "v4l"  # Video 4 Linux extension (provides a xv adapter)
and line 191 of /etc/profile:
Code:
#export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so
If you have the Pwidgets weather station running, try disabling it; or Pwidgets entirely. (icon | File | Start/Stop Pwidgets.) If you have run CPU Frequency Scaling, try the ondemand governor, with a low up_threshold setting in the GUI, say 50% or 30%.

If you have Shadow Effects or Compiz running, disable them. Try a small desktop background, like Stardust.png.

Open BootManager | Services, disable non-essential services and reboot.

Open /root/Startup and move items to DisabledItems and restart X to see if any of these make a difference.

Run Lighthouse sys-info and post /tmp/root/sys-info-110129.gz

Hopefully some of these will help,
-TazOC

ID3 tags in audio files

I had to need to see the tags in a mp3 file and eventually edit them.
So I was happy to see the Pmetatagger program.
I verified if all companion programs were available.

I started the program and selected the file.
I expected to see a window in which the tags were displayed, but such a window never came.
I pushed ok and all I got then was 'all processes completed'.

I looked in the thread for pmetatagger and realize the latest post is from nov 2008. A bit old.

I also looked with well minded for an alternative program, but I didn't find one.

Did anybody succeed in seeing/editing tags?

Are (is) LHP the most evolved Puppy we have now? Looks impressive to my nooby eyes.

A typical question from me. How do I turn off the automatic check it does for updates and such? At least it looks like it automatically take home things without asking me and I have no Browser or Email or anything activated. Does it check updates of LHP PPM or check time or what is it that goes on. Where do I shut this off?
