What a luvly puppy - truly superb - everything looks good so far, many thanks.

This is a keeper - only one minor mutter - no skype.

However, I'm sure there is an sfs to be found somewhere.

Thanks again for looks like an outstanding puppy - much appreciated - Ray.

Thanks, Ray!

Skype isn't really within Vinnie's scope... but try the stuff here:

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=86808

I'd start with the Precise packages, and if they fail use the Lucid ones. After that I'm really not sure where to point you -- there aren't any Raring packages... but some Lucid stuff and some Precise stuff works in Upup Raring (on which Vinnie is based) so it might work.

Hope that helps!

Off topic -- I love your avatar, and I have for quite a while.

Hi Ray
Thank you for your advice.
I will try it next month.
My people are somebody who will move to crowded city because I have promised them the refuge in the big UFO station.
Now I'd found at least 5 aliens who live in Thailand. They are from Triangular constellation.

An error that may exist ALSO in Pemasu's Upup Raring 3992

#20 Post by gcmartin »

Nice Layout and lots of image-editing tools.

Only problem I could find was this
JWM desktop manager > error message when the "Tray Autohide Option" is selected to set Autohide ON.

Autohide is NOT turned on

Here to help

Thanks, gc!

Manual install didn't find the sfs at bootup

#22 Post by dennis-slacko531 »

I decided awhile back to just make the directory, put the files in it, then copy/paste some menu.lst lines and most pup's boot right up. VanPup didn't make the cut here. Maybe I messed up but not really. Thank you starhawk & I will hit it again tomorrow.

Might be something about Upup Raring 3992 ;) after all, that's what Vinnie's based on -- just as IIRC it says on the tin :P

If it persists, probably be a good idea to report it to pemasu... just sayin'...

That's just why I do now prefer NOT to build any new ISO (except for my own needs).

Because, everyone thinks, you were responsible, because you have build the ISO.

And, of course: you are responsible! :wink:

Well I hope you don't expect me to test absolutely everything :P at that rate there'll never be a Vinnie RC2!

...actually, on that note...

I let gc talk me into something :P (@gc -- just ribbin' ya a little, don't take it personally) that's gonna possibly be in a 2nd release of Vinnie, and I'm waiting on him to get that info to me, see if I want to include it. (I'm also an ace procrastinator, so please take your time, gc!)

Hi Ray
I think it doesn't work at all.
I only use Puppy 5.xxx version.
So Van Goh doesn't like animation too.

graphics apps into a Puppy OS_A long awaited-for proposition

#28 Post by labbe5 »

Thanks,

As a Puppy user for a long time now, it was a long waiting before i came across a PuppyOS dedicated to graphic apps. I don't know yet Lightzone, but i look forward to try it with some Raw files of mine.
I hope it is to stay around for newcomers to Puppy Universe in years to come, who enjoy working with photographs.
Music fans have their studio version, now we may have our graphic version for all of us who are in visual arts and enjoying Puppy OS.

Cheers!

Now, if only there were a sensible way of getting the latest Krita shoehorned in there. :wink:

Probably not -- it sounds like it'd bring the rest of KDE with it, and I'd rather not do that -- but give MyPaint a whirl, maybe you'll find it an acceptable substitute ;)

Normally there's animation feature in Corel Xara.
But in this XaraLx-0.7r1785-Lucid.pet version there's no animation feature.
Thank for your question.

XaraLx is an abandoned port of Xara Xtreme to Linux... whatever group was doing it stopped (for reasons unknown to me) in ~2006 IIRC, and I'm afraid they never quite finished.

The full version is probably available for purchase somewhere... but it's Windows-only. Maybe it runs in WINE?

Sorry about your troubles... if you can find me something similar that does what you want, I'll try and include it.

I've got some interesting ideas floating through my head for Vinnie RC2 :) stay tuned...

Thank you for your kindness. I don't have time to test your jumbo Puppy yet.
Would you please make a smaller version, <300 MB, with KDE & Dolphin?
I think it's the best window & file manager in Linux.

Happy New Year 2014 to you.

:D Hello,
If you want some ideas on what to add to Vinnie, take a look at PAW.

And ignore the lack of response, it takes time.

problem with Google Chrome

#35 Post by vflower »

Downloaded and tried it. Everything works fine with the exception that Google Chrome browser "CANNOT" recognise Chinese characters. Chinese character websites shows mess up "#X$##X" and totally unreadable. Is it possible something is missing ?
