I can understand from You answer that the others destop manager have to be installed before and they aren't included... :oops:
However, since I tried also typing only xwin and nothing else, I thought that the session restart but... nothing... :? hmm... I must check it again! :)
LOL, I had the same problem as you! I also thought that the extra Desktops were included. I tried to use KDE and got a very plain looking JWM desktop. Luckily I was able to get back my dektop since I tested as RAM only and had not loaded my save file.

Bluetooth installation

#528 Post by Fabio T »

Hi JejY69!
Your work is valuable, fine graphic, good stability.

I need your suggest: I need to work with Bluetooth on my laptop.

My efforts are vane till today, every packet I've tried don't work.

I've tried with Bluetooth 0.5 packet, that works fine in Precise Puppy and Upup Precise, but don't work in your puplet.

What can I do?

Thanks in advance.

Fabio T,

The package you installed is for the dpup, which is totally different.
I keep looking. :?

Normal lxpup 13.01

#531 Post by jackrabbit »

Frugal usb install on ibm r51 thinkpad, 1.4ghz pentium-M , 1 gig ram, ati-radeon 7500 graphics. Boot straight to desktop with correct resolution, sound working, auto detected ethernet, another winner from Jejy69. Now to try on ibm netvista with the famous brookdale 845gl chip. Had success with lxpup 11.12 on both these computers. So far, favorite setup is 11.12 with mate.....FAST! This puppy linux is a lot of fun, and very addictive. :lol: :lol:

edit: no good on netvista with intel 845g. Different version of xorg compared to 11.12.

Could someone verify the md5 for LXpup 13.04 Full. 3 downloads here and 3 identical non-matching md5's.

Hi Jejy69,

Excellent work!!! LXPUP 13.01 is a beautiful puppy!!!

Frugal install on Dell D620 Laptop Core Duo 2.16 GHz 2.5 GB RAM Broadcom 4312 Wifi.

It's so good to be able to try the different DE's on the one install. I am however having some difficulties with changing DE's, either by WM Changer app, or manually by logging out to prompt and logging in to different session.

KDE won't run at all, just returns to login prompt.

Changing to LXDE using WM Changer (from MATE or XFCE), hangs half way. The panels disappear, then screen stays at this half-way state. I am able to click on screen and bring up menus to be able to logout to prompt and login again.

I don't know if any one else has had issues, but I am reporting in case there are some issues with changing DE's.

What I'm dizzy! I copied the SHA1 instead of MD5...
WillM has the correct data. Thanks.

Thanks Terry H,

For KDE, it is not included, I'm trying to upload the SFS kde 4.9.5, making a weight of 650MB! So, I can't put it in the ISO. :lol:

About "WM change" it's a noob script I made :lol:. So it's not perfect. Indeed, it fails when you Log out from Xfce to another WM. You must type "ctrl+alt+backspace" to complete the command. But it's only when you are with Xfce.

Thanks jejy69,

Ahhhhh!, as kde was in the selection window I thought something may have been wrong.

The WM Change wasn't a big concern, as I was able to still change by dropping to a login prompt.

I have just attempted a frugal install on my HP desktop. X won't start at all, not even with lower resolutions. The desktop has an AMD 7450 Graphics card and many distros will not run on it easily.

This PC has 10 GB of RAM. I know your kernel is non-PAE. The main reason I was trying LXPUP 13.01 on this PC, was to see if I could install 01micko's new pae enabled kernel with your lxpup.

540mo

#540 Post by Volhout »

Hi jeyj,

Would it be a good idea to bring lxpup Slacko to an otter thread ?
You Will get a lot of confusing messages since 12.12 has been widely spread.

Imho the memory footprint of 540mo is Nice for a full featured release but might be to large for USB stick use (bootup time). For me that is the main reason for using regular Slacko versus Fatslack. I rather SFS on the fly for the apps I don't use every day. Web browsing. And mailing is what I use most. For a full HD install 540mo is fine.

And for me...... All this mate, cinnamon, kde, etc... Stuff is over the top. I would use lxde as is. Actually I like it a lot better than xfce, and I would like to see lxde become the default for puppy. Might have a hard time convincing Barry though..... If I could get the Lubuntu look and functionality in a puppy harness (lxde, chromium, abiword, gnumerix, mail?) in a 150 meg footprint for fast USB booting ....... Opera is fine also....

It would definitely remove the main complaint About puppy from all reviews : the outdated look .... Where Lubuntu is praised for its clean and sober stylish looks.

Just to say my feel... once again I agree with Volhout :)
IMHO the desktop changing is good to play some time but.. after that ?
My preference is for a sober but elegant style and then, all the overstrucures could be leaved to other taste (comprising also xfce and especially various mate, cinnamon and so on).
And, once again, the challenge is to become an alternative to Lubuntu :o

To use the Help in 13.01-Slacko, one must first install libsoup from PPM, and then follow these instructions (including installing libsoup-gnome), substituting Firefox for Seamonkey. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 780#680780

Not to take issue with anything anyone has shared here.

I want to begin by saying that the author has put a lot of effort and time to bring a fresh idea to Puppyland. Its extremely useful to many in the forum when distro developers do this. It provide insights and useful approaches.

The greatest thing in Puppyland is what Barry does to provide a build tool for anyone to build a distro. Many/most who do, do so and present their work for USE IN THE COMMUNITY.

Jamesbond echoed something that only Pemasu re-enforces in documentation he has prepared about the distros delivered. That is (and I paraphrase) "its a Developer's RIGHT to choose what he would want in a distro." As such, use at your own risk.

I am echoing this NOT to upset anyone. So please, noone is to take this personally. I ONLY share as it might help for use to understand that the distro developers are only "offering" their distros for our assistance in the theme as its presented.

In their offerings, ideas, new ideas come to the table and some of them actually are so compelling that it becomes a generally acceptable method of delivering distro service features. Without naming I can point to at least 8-9 over the past 2 years which are now in today's PUPs. These distro developer spend a great deal of time thinking about improvements and demonstrating their findings via their distros.

I wish that I had the insights that this distro's author has presented to us: Though, my eyes have been opened to what it does bring to the table for consumption.

My boot time is adequate. I rarely if ever boot unless something is broken or if the distro was booted merely for a lookover. My PCs are set to go to sleep to "save the planet" and I try to understand what has been offered, and to assist should I see something wrong or how something added will help.

I think Barry and JamesBond and Pemasu do offer tools in the distro that will allow anything one finds that they would like to remove. I have never used the tool, but, as I remember its there should I need.

I hope, again, that everyone understand that this post is offered for understanding and in NO WAY IS IT TAKING ISSUE with anyone.

Here to help

Lxpup Slacko 13.01 WIFI

#545 Post by natgab »

Jerome,

I really like the new Lxpup 13.01. Very nice to have a MATE desktop! I like the apps and that VLC is already installed and works. I think 13.01 is even nicer and easier to use than 11.12. Feels like a " Full size Linux " not a compact Puppy.

Just having a little trouble with WIFI, it works but seems to reset everytime I reboot. I usually use Simple Network Setup on all the Puppys and my WIFI always just works. (WPA security used) I will try it out once I install the Puppy to my Laptop. Maybe its just from runnning it live. But if you have any ideas, it would help.

thanks
