Hello danneauxs,

You can't upgrade because, I changed the lxpup's base. I switched precise to slacko.




PS: I put some ads on the site, I'm sorry. Please, if you can click on an ad, it would help me a lot! Thanks you !

Change text to:
"Don't buy a new computer;
Download a better one."

Other than that, your website is very nicely done. It has an elegant look and feel with good information.

The ads are not a problem.

Question: What is the difference between 13.01 and 13.01 Full ?

The explanation is HERE

Slacko 5.5 supports gimp 2.8.4 found HERE
so it should be possible to upgrade the version.

Thanks, it's edited !

Thanks again. However I removed "Pop" ads, it's uncomfortable when a person is browsing the website ...

@don570, Thanks you too for your answer and your information !

Just put the ads back, I think it is justified for all the hard and friendly work you do.

Fully agree, I went to the website and unblocked the page in adblock plus to be able to click on ad

I have a 3TB Hitachi USB (3.0 capable but plugged into a 2.0 PCI card).
This card does not show up in 13.1FULL nor in 12.12. My Kindle Paperwhite DOES show up though. I forgot my thumb drive at work so couldn't test that. My wifi is through a USB device though and that works fine.

I have several versions of puppy on the computer as well as WinXP.

Puppy lupu 528 (windows installer version) - drive is found every boot.
Puppy lupu 543 Retro - NOT found
Puppy LXpup 12.12 - NOT found
Puppy LXpup 13.01Full - NOT found
wary 5.3 - NOT found
Xtrm423 - NOT found
WinXP - works every time.

FYI I've unplugged the Kindle and tried booting all just in case it didn't like having them both plugged in - same results.
I tried unplugging the USB cable for 20-30 seconds and plugging it back in on each puplet and no good.



TIA Danneauxs

--Hi Jerome!

I will download the beta and test. I will let you know if I get any problems compared to regular Lx 13.01.

EDIT: Tested on my desktop. C2D 2.8GHz 4GB RAM 8400GS Nvidia OS X & Win7 in other HDDs.

Found my USB audio, NVIDIA card, my wired internet. Saw my USB HDD and could read my OS X HDD and files.

I couldn't get VLC installed in PPM or Gslapt. Tried different versions.
Used FF but Flash didn't work after installing Popup blocker/downloadthem all/ download status bar. Picture viewer / Abiword / etc worked.

Choisir son theme
Jejy cette LXDE est (presque) parfaite. Parfois écran blanc au redémarrage. Il faut rebooter.
Pas vu d'autres bogues : travail de pro !
Xvidcap fonctionne tout de go, je me fais des vidéos que je mets sur youtube (accès public)
En autres, j'ai toujours la vidéo de la Husky. Que j'ai sur CD.

Zut, il faut parler anglais.
Jejy this LXDE is (almost) perfect. Sometimes white screen on reboot. Need to reboot. I hav'nt seen more bugs: professional work !

Ethernet and Wifi : fine with Medion P7624 (kernel drivers)
atl1c : Atheros 1000M Ethernet Network Driver
nouveau : nVidia Riva/TNT/GeForce
iwlwifi : Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link AGN driver for Linux
mac80211 : IEEE 802.11 subsystem
cfg80211 : wireless configuration support

Xvidcap works all at once, I have videos that I put on youtube (public access)
I still have the video of the Husky. I keep this XFCE on CD.

I download your lxpup...i noticed that the cause of large ISO file is that your are using firefox as a browser and also goffice is included. I wonder if you can make a NOP version where in the Office app is not included on bulid but loadable via SFS and also use Opera as a browser to reduce its size. By the way on popping splash forms/gui such as countdown to shutdown and creating save file you must make those forms invisible on taskbar not those popping on taskbar. and also make the gui layout more organized, consistent, and less clutter

LxPup by SFS now has versions to transform:

• Slacko 5.5 (normal, Phat and Thin versions)
  Precise 5.5
  Upup-Precise 3.8.3

into a "version" of LxPup

Cheers
PeeBee

---Do you mean the new Lxpup 13.04? The ISO is the beta PAE version only. A non-PAE and the smaller size NOP have not yet been released.

The current version Lxpup 13.01, has a Full version w/ Libre Office and other applications and the standard version which has Gnumeric & Abiword and less/smaller applications.

I like everything about your project except LXDE. Are you going to build something around JWM as well? Or anything else that is super light on resources?

@natgab yes, but on its final release. I hope that make it smaller ISO file size and improve further its interface.

I have installed lxpup and using it but I didnt liek LXDE adn pcmanfm so i went back to rox/jwm combo. Is ther any way of removing lxde/pcmanfm now and remastering it back?

Dear popov,

The main difference between Lxpup and it's base (Precise or Slacko) is that Jerome added LXDE (and other WM's).

If you enjoy JWM and ROX better, please use the standard puppy versions (i.e. Slacko 5.5).

Regards,

Volhout

What I have found out, is a fact that he made gslapt work pretty well, and I couldn't get it working for Slacko/PHATSlacko. Mainly I am using LXPup because of that.

Also in beginning I had fun running dual Window Manger setup with LXDE being main one, but after some time I found LXDE lacking responsiveness of JWM even on lightest setup.

I try to remaster the lxpup. I removed some builtin packages and replace with other packages. I Free up almost 30-40Mb size. but when I run the puppy remaster script instead of 160 or below Mb iso size (approx size of lxpup) that I expected, it bloats to 200+ Mb. Is there any method to remaster the lxpup to a smaller iso size?
