I did a frugal install by mounting your Lupu-539-beta3.iso
and copying the files to a pup539 directory,then taking the files in
the Lupu-539-beta3 folder within the pup539 directory to a puppy539
folder that I made and then running grub4dos.
Didn't want to burn a disk.
Anyhow it worked Smile

Hello,
Love the BG.. Very Happy

To get rid of the black box around cairo-dock, right click the dock,
Cairo-Dock / configure/ system / composition / use fake transparency...
And under visibility, you can tell it to hide / stay below etc....
In Openbox it stays below fine, in Jwm with compositing, it tends to stay on top...
But Jwm does composite great...in xinit.rc is the xcompmgr line, around 128, that sets transparency....

Are you on wireless???
Did the ATI graphics work OOTB??, or did you have to install a driver...????
I see it recognized both cores..
Did it bark on first boot up???

Yea, I`m more questions than answers... Laughing

Puppyluvr. I have made lupe22 kernel. I will upload it later today. It has some important fixes, most important is aufs-allow-sfs-as-branch patch. Also the usb section has been remodified.
It is optimized for core 2 and up, so it is for newer hw especially.

Didn't want to burn a cd either, manual frugal install on my main Linux box.Booted straight to a working desktop (1440x900) with working internet.
Same deal here with the sound,used Alsamixer and sound is working although Retrovol shows muted.

Hello,
The USB modem could be my fault.. Embarassed

In the Bootmanager, under system services, enable SLmodemusb...
Also, I disabled CUPS and firewall, you may want to enable them....
Compiled the latest Compat Wireless drivers for 2.6.38.4..
At my link below as a pet....

A very confusing name.
Latest lupu/lucid was 5.2.5
The 539 would indicate a frog leep.

What if work in the same line will be done in the future and 5.25 steadily goes to 539?

I think this kind of naming should be avoided.

Hello,
Yes, I agree...Since the next Puppy might be 5.3, it was supposed to be named 5.29...At first it was...
But a typo during Woof....and well.... Rolling Eyes

No matter, as on the next built, it will get a name, and I will renumber it then...

Lupen is what I have in mind...
Lu-p-en...Lucid + Puppy + Enlightenment..
I have compiled the latest E-16 and am testing integrating it into this Pup, along with GLX-dock and xcompmgr...
It isnt stable yet, but when they all work together, its a beauty!!!

The first release was to test 2.6.38.4 and xcompmgr, this one for Cairo-dock, next release will include E-16...Then maybe I`ll be satisfied... Rolling Eyes

Hi there!

wow that one does look and work a bit different. What is that Cairo thing you talk about? Anyway it did work on my Acer D250 and looks cool kind of.

That everything explodes and goes up in smoke is kind of imprssive and then get a bit childish but who am I to complain me being the most naive we have here at the forum. Smile

So apart from being your brain child what is it about it that you like best.

Is there anything particular you want me to test. Everything did work as far as I know. Firefox instead of SeaMonkey is a big improvement indeed.

I don't remember now some hours has gone since I tested it. Was Flash built in from scratch.

Hahah the name Lupen 539 surpriced me too. Btu I see you have changed the title now to Puppy Lupen and telling which kernel it is.

Edit oh I forgot to tell you that this is the first time me had the famous muted audio but Retrovol repaired it. If it is important I can test it again tomorrow.

Lupe22 kernel is uploaded. See Ice Puppy first page. It looks promising. And it has that important patch added.
