Change step=$((100/cnt)) to step=$((100000/cnt)) and echo $bar to echo $((bar/1000)) This worked as expected. The Progress Bar continued all the way to the end before the window closed. Thanks MochiMoppel. I would try next: :) step=$(( 100 / cnt )).$(( (100 * 100 / cnt) % 100 )) This caused the Pro...

Got it working. Hooray! For anyone else reading this and wanting to understand what is going on, I made three mistakes: 1. My initial list of commands was not required. It duplicated the list in the 'PACKAGELIST=' section, so I was trying to install everything twice. 2. The prefix petget + in the 'P...

OK, thanks. I'll see what I can do with it.
You might guess that I don't really have all that much idea what I am doing here.

Hi MochiMoppel. Thanks for your Progress Bar script. Firstly, is the following the correct way to integrate your script with mine?: #!/bin/sh mv /usr/local/petget/{petget,petget_original} cp /root/my-applications/"Install multiple packages"/Files/petget /usr/local/petget/ petget +fonts-fre...

I have a script here that installs VLC Media Player 2.2.2 from a collection of DEB packages that are archived in a directory. It runs in conjunction with a slightly modified version of Petget such that it installs the packages automatically and silently (without questions). Because there are 56 pack...

OK, well after a great deal of searching it turns out that there is a more up-to-date version of gtkrefresh that works in Xenial. It's called pGtk-theme-refresh-1.1 and is provided by forum member Trio. Here's the forum thread: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=811270 Download the PET:

Is powerapplet_tray-2.5 working in Xenialpup-7.5? The tray icon status doesn't change for me.
I notice that there a number of posts about this here and there on the forum. Has anyone looked into why it isn't working?

Acer Aspire 5741

I have only just noticed exactly the same behavior. I don't run the laptop on the battery all that often, so the icon in the tray has probably been just sitting there without changing all along and I haven't spotted it. Is this a known bug? Is powerapplet_tray working normally in Xenialpup 7.5 32bit...

That's a shame. Anyway, at least you have given me a definitive answer. Thanks to both of you for your replies.

When you say 'a newer version of gtkrefresh', are you talking about a specific binary, or something similar? ...Or are we here talking about a specific script, perhaps? Here is what I know about gtkrefresh: The version in Lucid is a binary file, and is located at /usr/bin/gtkrefresh No equivalent v...

The reason I ask is because with any of the Puppies that use JWM (as you no doubt know, Lucid uses Openbox), radky's JWM DeskManager will perform a GTK theme change for you, along with a whole host of other WM-related functions. ....all wrapped-up in a very smart, modern-looking GUI. Hi Mike. Thank...

The version of gtkrefresh that Mark provides a couple of pages back ( here ) still worked in Lucid-5287, but no longer works in more recent releases (such as Xenial). Hardly surprising really. It's getting pretty old now. I actually use this quite often to change the GTK Theme using a script. It's r...

TwoPuppies, I think this is what you want for the Quickpet desktop icon. In the puppy_xenialpup_7.5.sfs /root/startup There is a Quickpet file. This file script runs on first initial boot of Xenialpup 7.5. It fixes the missing Quickpet icon on the desktop. After the script runs it deletes this Quic...

Well, if nothing else, can somebody at least explain the process by which the Quickpet icon is added to the Desktop after the other icons are present?

What are you doing when this happens? The version of Xenial I am running is xenialpup-7.5-uefi. When I boot this up for the first time in a completely unmodified state (either from the ISO on a USB device, or from a Frugal Install) with no Save File , here's what happens: 1. The Desktop opens displ...

Hi all.

Xenial keeps adding an extra quickpet icon to the desktop when there is already one present. How can I stop this from happening?

Thanks, I am trying to figure out how to make it fixwidgets (pwidgets) after changing the background? I know this is a really old post, but I was wondering how to do this too. The solution seems to be to insert fixwidgets between the 3rd and 4th last lines of the rwall_bg script, like this... while...

Just get one when you get to the desktop using your vesa technique. OK. Done. I will PM that to you. Try booting with pfix=nox and then type: lsmod. Does i915 show in the list? No. Also, since you have multiple frugal lucid pups, does that mean there are multiple versions of the lupu_528.sfs files ...

DESCRIPTION: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller VENDOR: 8086 DEVICE: 0046 Was there no line showing the kernel module for it? Do you mean like in the similar material in the post by sheldonisaac ? No, there was nothing else. I posted everythin...

please try booting afresh using the boot argument: i915.modeset=0 Result: Same as before. Boots to a blank screen and then hangs. If it still hangs, also use pararmeter pfix=nox and then xorgwizard to choose the intel xorg driver (as you have been doing). Result: Same as above. I can still only rea...
