Blocking facebook at the router stops all their junk easily...works for google ads too. Surprising how widespread the former is ...the many faces of microsoft eh :D mike What do you use to do that mikeb? In a sense I am trying to perform a balancing act: I think it says "maximum privacy protec...

disciple, You may be right. I am rechecking. Certainly you are right about how it used to be. My daughter may have downloaded the Software Removal Tool without me knowing. It is supposed to delete itself after use, but maybe she never used it. It popped up on me twice, but maybe that is because I di...

I thought it was a separate tool that you download only on Windows if you are having a problem? I may be wrong about this next sentence. See below. In the latest version of Chrome disciple, it was built in and just popped up. I was astounded. It never said what it was doing--if you told it to go ah...

This is an excerpt that I thought some of you might find amusing. Clever title, eh? This is the outcome of what I started back during Lucid. Most people here are beyond this, but the goal is maximum privacy protection consistent with unimpaired usability--and no geek stuff required. You should know ...

Adding and integrating Lxterminal to FbBox . Some people prefer lxterminal because it operates the same way as the other programs in Puppy (menu, right-click to copy and paste etc.) 1. Menu -> Setup -> Puppy Package Manager; search for lxterminal; click to install (Precise will need to also install...

The sluggishness from Adblock is how fast Firefox starts up. You might try an experiment to disable Adblock and see if Firefox starts up any faster. Ah, ok. There's is definitely a bit of a gap there but I have found that Firefox traditionally takes a while to load up anyway. However, it might be i...

Does Puppy run much slower in the virtual box? Too slow for impatient persons like myself? Could this be a way to get puppy on new UEFI machines? Yes, an old thread nooby but I did something similar just recently, using VMWare instead of Virtualbox. Lucid will not run on my current laptop so I ran ...

Hey don570, This package links to the mtpaint handbook online rather than installing it--no doubt serious users of mtpaint would get quicker response with your pet.

In a number of modern Puppies, asking for Help in Sylpheed, mtPaint, and Gnumeric results in error messages. This tiny pet fixes that. As don570 says below, one should close the programs before installing the pet.

My position is that 5.2.8.005 was the last official Lucid Puppy. Lucid 5.2.8.6 is a Puppy derivative, and no other puppy derivatives get space in the ibiblio repo. rerwin has created a viable Puppy subculture--but I don't think it should receive privileges that other unofficial Puppies do not get. T...

Quickpet->Drivers->Nvidia No drivers available in repo for your card. (I know there is a driver, for this card, in the repo, but it is not compiled for the kernel in Lupusuper2) Need some graphics drivers compiled to support the different kernels being used in Lucid versions. Must be someone, who h...

I have both installed on my copy Firefox 18 (using Ubuntu 10.04) and have not experienced any sluggishness

The sluggishness from Adblock is how fast Firefox starts up. You might try an experiment to disable Adblock and see if Firefox starts up any faster.

Please see the last message for solution to slow Firefox startup with Adblcok Plus installed. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 239#769239

Wow peebee. It is all very slick and polished. I installed the right-click pet first and then my FF 28 pet and libsoup. Everything is working, including Inklite ( Add: except the white url at the bottom) . I would never say Slacko was not my first choice but you are right there with 'em. 8) I unders...

the right-clicks pet was put together specifically for lxpup and pcmanfm That's great news. don570's right-click is very useful to me--adds considerably to usability. Glad LxPup has one too. Uh, I haven't been able to find it--ok, I'm lazy. About Inscapelite,. Do you mean the About under Help? It w...

from p.install: mv /opt/lxpup/lxpuphelp.desktop /usr/share/applications/lxpuphelp.desktop I thought the desktop file needed to go to /root/.local/share/applications, but your way is working for me.. Someone one might still be able to mess it up by using Preferred Applications and choosing Firefox fr...

Again, please refer to Peebee's method for activating the Help throughout LxPup.

People do know that Firefox ESR is on version 24 now, right?

peebee said:

gvfs-1.12.3 is already built-in to LxPup14.03 so maybe that pet isn't needed??

Probably only libsoup is needed then. I will experiment. Add: Yes, it seems so.

The rest is handled by peebee's fix on p.16.
