(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Don't get me wrong now. I am a total nobody so this is not
me making criticism of you it is Just me very curious.

I can understand if one have a Puppy with LXDE or xfce or E17 something.

But Gnome? Okay maybe if one are so used to it that all the others feel bad
using them?

Don't answer I only wanted to share my bewilderment soemthing.
congrats to the accomplishment though. Everybody should have a pet
project. Such are important.

@ Nooby

Why should I not respond? All opinions are welcome, as in any self-respecting community.
As my mother would say, all criticism are constructive!

I think Puppy is a very flexible distribution, and the establishment of another desktop manager like Gnome could widen its scope.
I think we have this chance when compared to other OS made ​​in Silicon Valley, we can choose.
After the individual tastes make the difference.
In fact, I do not understand,, I do not know if it's a shame, or I risk a curse, but I like Gnome, and I accept.

Cordially !




The choice, the beginning of freedom?

I really like Gnome as well.......

No problem with the download from here.

Latest release appears to be working well here.

Hello !

Other link is ready !
I add a mirror, with google doc, Mediafire does not accept files larger than 200mb. I hope vicmz can download the iso.

@ sneekylinux : Thank you for the video, I'm impressed, this iso has been more successful than I had expected. Can you tell me what software did you use? The quality is really excellent.

I am 18 years old, and for a first project, I think it's a success for me!

@ James C, thanks to try the last ISO, what do you think about QtWeb ?

Jejy69,

Thanks for version 2 with the fixes. Clock and USB drive mounting work well now. Clicking on date and time in taskbar shows text in Chinese!

On my hardware the system font used in Gnome is too small but I cannot find anyway of changing the font style or size. Maybe I have missed a setting somewhere?

Changing the theme from the default Mint-X solved the problem.

Terryphi,

For next time, you can go to the manager of appearance, and on the right, you have a tab "Fonts", where you will be easy to change fonts.

He was in there fast that sneekylinux

One of our smartest pups once said that Gnome could not work on Puppy.
At the time this was true. A little while later it became someones challenge and now we have this new Gnomification.

So the reason to Gnomify is because we can and many appreciate the speed advantage that Puppy + Gnome offers.

You are right Jejy69 as a first project this is going in all the right directions.

Prefer Xfce, then support Saluki . . . something in the puppyverse for everyone . . .

I tend to use the latest woof and can not be distracted by all this gorgeousness.

Well done. Really looking forward to how this improves.
Maybe a touch of Glom database or early Ease . . .

Jejy69 thanks for that very friendly reply.
I would feel ashamed to not give your thing a decent test
now that you talked so well about why it exists so I try to
download and boot it frugally on my NTFS hd.

if I fail to give a report within a week do friendly remind me.

Ah so it is a Slacko 5.3 with Gnome. I guess I need to use
pfix=ram for it to not pick up my slacko save file? Okay I give it a try now
if it fail then I try to give report today later. I need to get food soon

Gnome looks good to me. But being a Slacko puppy
it chose 1024 x 600 due to it sense the resolution of the
Acer D255 internal screen and I use an external screen
having 1024 x 768 so ...

I am not used to this Qtweb-kit something. Seems to work though.
It gave a warning.
I try to attach screen shot but I need to make it less big first.

@ Lobster :

Yes, sneekylinux is fast ! "15 I like", Yeah
Thanks for the support.

Next goal, Gnome's Ease ?

@ Nooby : You're welcome
Do not feel compelled to try this ISO.

For the error message is quite normal, simply click "Yes to all".
This is when moving from a secure page, in which one is not.

Hi Jerome

Excellent job!!

Just one problem so far - when I enter my wifi key into Frisbee it is not read correctly - not a biggie because SNS does set up my wifi correctly - but I'm a Frisbee fan and it works OK on Slacko.

Is QTWeb the same as Midori?? It has the same icon.....

Cheers & congrats
PeeBee

Hello Peebee !

No, For the icon, it was me who made ​​a mistake, I accidentally forgot to change the program icon . You can change it with right click and properties.

Ouch, I also like Frisbee, following its installation, I encountered the same trouble, despite several attempts, none of my testing has not worked ...
At the beginning, I thought the Dhcp was the source of the problem.

Trying to install a pet seems to cause major instability and gnome-terminal stops working.

I did wonder whether it is may be because this puppy seems to be creating devices eth1 and wlan1 rather than the eth0 and wlan0 that every other puppy (including slacko) creates....no idea why this would be....

Cheers

p.s. I'm also getting the attached error message about a missing configuration from some of the utilities in the Control Centre....

Seems to be working fairly well.Browsing with several tabs open, including streaming video, and no crashes yet.Was kind of used to Epiphany but no problem figuring out the tricks for a new browser.

I've installed various pets....Firefox and a couple of games......no difficulties yet.Installed Firefox but still using QtWeb.....

@ Terryphi : Instability ?! Ouch... Have you started with pfix=ram? Would it be possible to know the application you have installed ? What happens exactly ?
I have not encountered such trouble after installing a package, someone else has encountered this problem ?


@ Peebee : I don't understand why... I do not understand why, I'll try with pwireless.

For the Gnome Center Problem : Puppy has a fairly specific, and am having trouble with polkit / PolicyKit. I am not knowledgeable enough to get Puppy to tame the problem. But I just think around the problem by redirecting the non-functional shortcuts to those of Puppy, as the clock, and the Internet connection wizard.

Cheers !

I'm actually running this on some fairly old hardware but since it's Puppy it just flies......
