That is a firewall tool by Mobeus, try it

Thanks 01micko
That PET installs and I can use the default settings. Any idea how to know if the firewall is actually running? Should it show up as a process?

firewall not working ?
seem working for me when using dialup. dont know if using an other conection, TLM what conection do you use ?

[TLM]

pri,
i use an ethernet connection. But I do not know how to verify that a firewall is actually running. When you click on Linux Firewall Wizard from the Setup menu, nothing happens. So I downloaded the PET that 01micko mentioned in his post and I ran that firewall from the Network menu (Firewall Genie), but how do I know that it is actually running?

I installed lxtask from the Puppy Package Manger because Ksysguard does not work. Is there a process in lxtask that reflects the firewall running?

I am new to puppy but I have some issues

1. Can't get google chrome installed
2. Cant get tap to work on my trackpad
3. Can we remove the windows sounds?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

[pri]

1. i think chrome need an other libs, try to execute chrome from terminal
2. dont have trackpad option i think
3. i buid this to make it similar to windows and easy use, but you cant rid it off by using kde option for sound

[whitlecj]

Thanks for the reply. Will you be updating it to include trackpad options or is this just a one time release. Thanks.

added kbluetooth, now you can send and receive file from handphone.
device name = slax pass = 0000

I figured out why the linux firewall will not run. They are set to open with rxvt terminal emulator. However rxvt is not installed. Here is how to fix:

Go to /usr/share/applications

Now find the following two .desktop files:

Linux-Firewall.desktop
Linux-Firewall-Wizard.desktop

Right click on each of these and open them with a text editor(use the Open With option, NOT the Preview in Embedded option-you will have to browse to Document category) I edited the files with Kwrite.

The Exec=rxvt -e firewallinstallshell needs to be changed to:
Exec=konsole -e firewall install shell

Do this for both of the above mentioned .desktop files and they will now open and run in Konsole and you can configure your firewall.

TLM, thks.

i did not notice that i have rxvt here.
to make it simple, mybe just make a link to konsole with rxvt name

ok i make it note for further fixs.

Hello Pri,


I'm running the system directly from cd with files saved on a usb. I tried installing the usb and showed a sudden closure of the installation program.
Maybe you help me with this. Otherwise, everything is going very well.
You should be congratulated for the wonderful job, because the system ran fine using the base of Slax. I like Slax. You could add slax + puppy, wonderful!
Pri Congratulations for your good work!
Cheers and go ahead my friend!

Att,

Thank you so much for an excellent addition to the Puppy family. I was looking for something like that. KDE 3.5 is a lot more functional in many ways than the newer versions. With a liitle bit of work, I got this to work without even burning a CD first...
