Hi Jejy69

USB memory sticks don't appear for me in the file manager in Precise Lxpup....

The 2 screenies show:
1. the usb stick detected in Precise-Mate
2. the usb stick not detected in Precise Lxpup in the file manager but will mount OK with pmount

Cheers

Sir Jerome:

You apparently have earned deserved respect from what I can read here on this forum... Wise beyond your years it seems! Wink

Your Weebly site is PERFECT -- the simplicity and efficiency is refreshing to use/see! (having myself used Weebly in the past)

Thanks to all who might take the time to answer my sincere newbie questions...

slacko:

-is there font smoothing

-why after downloading other desktop (through wmchooser) does it not switch to the new desktop... and every time press (xfce for instances) it only asks to download (again) instead of switching?????

-why does slacko only see approx. 3 of my 8gig of RAM???

precise or slacko:

-which is more stable

-which is better to trust for long-term FULL-TIME use (I understand repos are different)

...once again TIA !!!!

[ I am used to using larger more power-hungry distros (Pear, Mint, Kubuntu, etc.) and want to better understand if puppy is good FULL-TIME use OS ]

Hello Peebee !

Thanks for the report, I will see.
Maybe, restartx after branch the USB key ?
I add problems with Pup-Volume-Monitor. I added a launcher at startup, in / root / startup to launch the process. Confused

Hello okwellthenm and Welcome ! Smile

Hi Jejy69,

Keep up the great work.

yerc1 asked a couple of pages ago whether it was possible to get the LxPup's system tray icons closer together. So far no one has responded.
I don't know if this will work in LxPup. But in Precise Mate with Mate-lx-1.2 installed I stumbled on the fact that if you left-click the tray icons on the left side they can be dragged closer together. The icons on the right side don't appear to be movable. However, setting time 12 hours & seconds seems to push the other right-side icons together, especially if an app is opened.

@ anyone

...am trying to get grub entry correct (inserting in existing Grub2 from PearOS which is Ubuntu 12.04 based)... any pointers would sure help...

I'm sure it's here somewhere in this vast forum, but TIA for any of your kindnesses--even just a link ...

I'm noticing that the provided text given after install--the form of it sure looks different?????

ALSO: how to adjust screen brightness....?

@smil99 : thanks for the quote you presented.... I needed that for myself Very Happy

THANX!
