Thanks for the new emelFM2 pet Iguleder. It is probably a fluke but after installing it my internet connection issues seem to have gone away. I can not imagine why installing it would fix the problem i was havin lol. Either way im a happy Guy Dog user.
Edit: I tested the new emelFM2 pet in Next Puppy & it works great. I posted the info & the pet on the Next Puppy thread for others to get if they would like to.
Again my connection issue that I was having with Next Pup has vanished it seems. Going to do a few reboots to test & make sure its not just a fluke.

Guy Dog now working with Ati Radeon 3100 Graphics -- Almost
Hi Iguleder & All,
Wanting to try something, but not recalling that Guy Dog wasn't working on my main computer, see http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 545#573545 I unthinkingly booted into it without a problem. Not sure what I did wrong before, or right this time. But I'm happy.(':D')

Edit: Almost> Did something which might have closed all open windows. But thinking that I somehow had shifted into a 2nd desktop --I didn't know it had a second desktop-- I looked for a way to shift back. Unable to find one, I figured the best thing to do was restart X via Ctl-Alt-Backspace. That gave me the dreaded "No Signal" being received by my monitor, requiring a hard shutdown.

Hi iguleder,
thanks for this Guy Dog !
tested on HP Pavilion w5260 desktop PIV 2.8GHz + ram 1024MB + nvidia NV44 GE6200s rev a1.
iso md5sum OK; frugal install by mounting the iso and copying to a guydog folder; grub bootup from that folder.
First bootup results:
1. at live-cd boot xorgwizard keepss "screwed" loading 'fbdev' driver, even if <Choose> whatever Intel or nv driver.
(see also forum member mandibule2005's post at end of page 1 this thread)
2. only vesa gives a working desktop (do not recall myself how I could get vesa working...). So here keep staying with vesa driver.
3. attempts to upgrade to Xorg 7.6 result in « ... http://ibiblio/..../pet_packages-5 Resolving distro.ibiblio.org ... failed: Temporary failure in name resolution wget: unable to resolve host adress 'distro.ibiblio.org.' »
4. Did not get Network Wizard working from Menu/Setup/Internet Network Wizard; only simple network wizard is working.
I appreciate:
- abiword, galculator and gnumeric in french locale straight configured (my keyboard config is be-latin1, french_belgium).
(firefox stays however in english )
- guy dog looks fast ...!
Cheers ! Charlie

1) Yes, Firefox has its own locales mechanism - just install a language pack, you can do this through the options.
2) Regarding "upgrading" X - do not do this, this version already ships with 7.6 ... and there's nothing you can upgrade to. This could install some spup or Wary package that is incompatible and break your system.
3) And the network wizard fix is already available (Barry uploaded it), so the next version will have it.
4) The NVIDIA driver is broken (I mean, nv, not the official, non-free one), so until you install it, you're stuck with vesa. Already fixed by rolling back X.
EDIT: doing the first automated build of 5.0.1, with all changes since 5.0.0. If it works well, I'll upload it and there you have the bug-fix release of the 5.0.x line.

Some progress with XP Portables
Hi Iguleder & All:
I made some progress in getting XP portables to run using emelfm2. Follow the instructions pacer106 gave for adding file types to emelfm2. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 12#573512. What you use in the category and label fields only matters to the extent that you’ll remember them. Place “exe

There's a way to do this, it's in the kernel. It's a module you load that tells the kernel which interpreter to run.
It's useful with DOS emulators, Wine, Python, etc'. I just don't remember its name since I don't use it.
Read here.
EDIT: the 5.0.1 build goes on and on, but it's almost over
There are tons of improvements in this version, I hope I'll be able to upload it today.

Guy Dog 5.0.0
I found that you can't copy and paste from urxvt in guydog.
I installed mrxvt and copy/paste works with it.
I think guydog with wbar and openbox/tint2 is great, I am a fan of
window maker but this is better I think.

I just updated to guydog 5.0.1 from 5.0.0. Previously when I used pmount, the selected partition would be mounted and displayed in emelfm2. Today following the upgrade, the pattition is mounted, however an error is displayed that rox-filer is not installed.
Originally when I completed the upgrade I used the same savefile. I then deleted the savefile and checked again, the error still exists.

Yes, you could do yourself a favor and read the changelog.
Previously, /usr/bin/rox was a dirty hack that launched emelFM2 when ROX-Filer was called, but I decided to remove it because it's too dirty. Instead, I put a placeholder that tells you to install ROX-Filer if you want that functionality.

Hey Iguleder, just booted guydog, well version 5.0.0 was when I downloaded it, been wanting to try it since.
I wanted to report network wizard problem but I see it's fixed in 5.0.1
If I choose 1024x768 I get 800x600 res, but I can get higher 1280x1024
If I go to "Choose" tab and choose radeon or ati or radeonhd and then type xwin it doesn't start at all after that, have to revert to "Probe" -> Choose res.
I also get a smaller area on screen visible that is the size of my TV-out so it's kinda 1280x1024 desktop and then same wallpaper scaled to 800x600 begining from top left corner of screen
I like the minimalistic idea and that you change from usual rox desktop and file manager.
As with other newer pups everything works slower on my PC so that's not your fault
Pidgin works, at least for IRC, speaking of that
Why you no come to IRC anymore?

I visit once in a while, I just ... became a very important person
I work a lot and don't have much spare time.
Regarding the network wizard - I'll wait for Barry to fix it, since I'm not familiar with the code. While we wait for 5.0.2, I work on something nice, sort of a proof-of-concept project called Dogbox, a minimalistic implementation of many common executables, like Busybox but written independently with just important features.
Here's the binary - it supports both direct calling (e.g through a symlink with the applet name) or as an argument (e.g "dogbox cat /path/to/file").

Hi Iguleder:
In the menu.xml file, one of my apps had execute option containing quotes "
But, all quotes in the menu.xml file are escaped with \.
Had to remove the \'s, or app wouldn't start. The only other app that had escaped quotes in the execute line that i could see was xfontsel. I removed those \ also, then ran Reconfigure from menu>openbox>Reconfigure.
xfontsel still works and is puke green now, and my app that wouldn't work with escaped quotes now works with nonescaped quotes.
Otherwise, things looking good.
UPDATE: I fixed my problem with escaped quotes in menu.xml by commenting out line 125 in /usr/bin/ob-xdgmenu. Tested with fixmenus and reconfigure and it worked.
