[Discontinued] Puppy Slacko, Gnome 2.32
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....Jejy69 wrote: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.

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

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.Jejy69 wrote: @ James C, thanks to try the last ISO, what do you think about QtWeb ?
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......

Ah! James C was too fast!
QtWeb Petihar was found by the Francophone part of the forum, and advised me to. He had a good idea.
Well, the bug from installing a package appears to spread?
The Puppy is still operating with a low setting! Yeah! It flies? This is perfect!

Resize personal storage file ( /usr/sbin/resizepfile.sh ) does not work with Gnome. However, if it is replaced with the version from Racy 5.3 it does work:

[b]Classic Opera 12.16 browser SFS package[/b] for Precise, Slacko, Racy, Wary, Lucid, etc available[url=http://terryphillips.org.uk/operasfs.htm]here[/url] :)
It was only one pet, Filezilla_3.2.0.pet, which caused the problem. Strange, it works with Slacko, Racy, Lucid, etc without problems. Anyway, I have now added Filezilla 3.4 which unfortunately has a ridiculous number of dependencies.Jejy69 wrote:@ Terryphi : Instability ?! Ouch... Have you started with pfix=ram?

Hello stowpirate !
Thanks for tests, wine works perfectly... Cool
I need to work more on the control-center, and on .desktop applications.
Maybe add Gthumb 2.12 and Brasero.
If you have ideas, say me !
Question :
Which menu do you prefer?
-Simple Menu ?
-MintMenu ?
-Custom menu ( Applications|Places|System )
-GnoMenu ?
Which one ?

Mmh, yes.Are there any plans to add more functionality?

Posting not working! There must have been some strange character in my post causing it not show?http://www.btinternet.com/~stowupland/software/ I think it was tilda but this worked?
That was a tad off topic. I installed the other software you suggested all works OK. The gThumb software looks good but is a tad basic compared to Picasa 3.9 running under wine. Anyway I can see it being useful for quick edits.
Kompozer-0.8b1-Lucid.pet installed and works fine
Resize pup save not working which could be an issue? tried the other resize option suggested and still not working,

I think a simple menu is always the better option. However the search in the Mint menu for apps is good but it takes up a lot of screen space.
As for applications I use, being a photographer I would like Digikam and ShowFoto albeiet they are KDE stuff! Now there is an idea as never had digiKam or ShowFoto running in any version of Puppy Linux. It is the best photo free editing software

Hi Stowpirate !
You can try Mate, it's a fork of Gnome 2, and it is more light.

Downloading it now
Puppy is great as you only have to drag and drop the contents of iso into a folder, edit the boot file and you have a new OS to try. I must also look at the LXDE version.
