Thanks,

I could get compiz using this method.

But unfortunately, my windows lost the top part windows title where the close button is usually located. Without the top part, it is hard to do double click and maximize or minimize windows.

What features from lina were you looking for? Geoffrey has made an xmenumaker for X-precise, you can download it here: http://carolina-linux.com/rg66/X-precise/pet_packages-X-precise/xmenumaker-3.1.0-Xprecise.pet I was going to add the updated repo package lists to the sfs but completely forgot. Th...

Great! I am looking forward to a latest precise that have all the goodies of carolina and saluki. I keep returning to carolina because it has xfce which supports tiling of windows. Of course, windows tiling is not the only features that makes Carolina great. I find that in the xprecise 1.1, some of ...

i have downloaded the xfce 2.1 and just got to love the booting and shutdown speed! puppy precise 5.7.1 booting speed if i am not imagining things, is faster than previous puppies. porteus does have a few things that are quite unique. Like puppy, installing to pendrives or hard drives is very easy, ...

I'll have a serious attempt at 5.7 or maybe the latest slacko. It is great to know that precise 5.7 and latest slacko are under consideration. Although i like precise 5.7 because it is based on ubuntu, slacko has always been great. In fact, lately, i had a pleasant surprised to find out that i coul...

hi pchan, first off you will need to install the devx.sfs http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/quirky/precise-5.7/devx_precise_5.7.sfs right click on it and choose 'sfs load' to install next open the PPM (puppy package manager) and type 'python-gtk' into the find box, and install 'python-gtk2_2.24.0-...

It is python import sys, os, gettext, ctypes, ctypes.util, locale import gtk, gconf import __builtin__ # x-tile Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/x-tile", line 30, in <module> import gtk, gconf ImportError: No module named gtk # So nothing to compile just import gtk :lol: ...

rg66 , any plans to implement xfce and carolina goodies into the latest puppy precise 5.7? The latest Puppy precise 5.7 seems stable, light and snappy on my acer aspire one d257 (happy2) netbook. Barry K has done a great job and has introduced a few new things such as copying the basic puppy sfs fil...

Are you using precise 5.7? just curious, have you tried to compile it from source? Or try to check the file permission of the executable. Yes, I am using precise puppy 5.7. I downloaded the deb version and the installation went through ok just by clicking on the .deb file. The program was even list...

Sorry, I don't know where to ask. I downloaded a program called "x-tile" (deb file). Installed it and it was listed under utility in the program menu. When i click on it to launch the program, nothing happened. I launch the program to check the dependencies, but it says nothing is missing....

Hi rg66, x-precise is working very well in my acer d256 netbook. However i cannot find "menu entry maker" in the control panel."Menu entry maker" was in carolina. It is a useful program because some installations (wine programs also) doesn't automatically get listed in the progra...

Hi Jejy69, here are some screen shots about windows tiling side by side. Lately, I found it very useful because When i am watching a movie halfway and i suddenly want to check up something with web browser, I can still keep an eye on the movie. The web browser window will not cover up the vlc window...

Hi Jejy69, I used to love lxpup very much and i still do. But recently, i discovered that xfce has one feature which i find very useful. Using xfce window manager, i could tile 2 windows side by side. I sometimes like to watch video with one window and check up a few things with another window. By b...

Geoffrey , Thanks for the reply. It is a great pity. I tested the kingsoft slide presentation program and found it to be quite close to the microsoft powerpoint as compared to the freeoffice softmaker slide program. Anyway, i am happy that the freeoffice softmaker works in carolina. I hope that some...

Hi,

I found a good office application called kingsoft office.

It has offered a ubuntu deb file for installation.

Is there a way to install this office software to use in carolina?

Thanks!

Did you try LX 13.01, the current stable version? It is a little bit newer kernel and applications thant LX 12.12. I went back to it for now since the 13.04 beta5 was giving me trouble with Pidgin and VLC. My specs on my laptop don't seem to different from your Acer laptop. thanks for the recommend...

Hi rg66 , Thanks! Thanks! I will try to do that. I am glad i picked up the courage to ask what i was worried might be an irritating question of the unlearned. The technical word "delta" actually made me feel a bit intimidated and i imagined that there is going to be a lot of deep reading o...

Can somebody help me? I am really illiterate when it comes to linux. I loved saluki and lalso lina lite 005. Now i want to try lina 007 but I have really no idea how to use what is called "delta" and create a non pae lina 007 iso file. In lina lite 005, after installing freeoffice, I can l...

Hi Jerome, I have tried your Lxpup 13.04 beta5. Somehow, I find that lxpup 1212 is better for my low power acer one happy2 netbook. i really think Lxpup 1212 is one of the best puppy i have used. Anyway, the lxpup 13 is still in beta stage so I don't know yet if it can become better than Lxpup1212. ...

I have also been using Text maker freeoffice 2012 and presentation. I love the program. I find that the program works better if i turn off the auto backup every few minutes or so. Softmaker presentation is slower than powerpoint office when editing slides but it has some great features that powerpoi...
