Merry x-mas everyone! So, again the real problem was this: http://i63.tinypic.com/2isjr74.png See, bspwm assumes a smaller screen size. I thought that it was because of rox managing a pin board, which is the desktop with the icons on the wallpaper. But as musher0 pointed-out, using lxrandr opens a g...

Hi mishero and williams2. Thanks for the elaborate reply. Actually,, im doing these things for educational purposes. Im also new to bspwm and tiling window managers. Yeah, bspwm is not well documented and the learning curve is steep. But i take it as a challenge. The problem i currently have is that...

xwin bspwm made my weekend happy. Though it still looks ugly. Is there anyone here who have used bspwm and polybar before who can lend a better config file? Im still searching for how i can make .pet file. I already forgot how to do it. But probably I'll be doing that once i arrived at a better con...

Been too busy nearing christmas. Just finished a vue.js project and a new project is already laid-out. We use windows and my boss dont know linux. Probably this morning since its my rest, ill be able to fiddle my puppy. Im trying to have bspwm with polybar and xlunch to dress up my puppy. Wish it wo...

Hi. I was trying to test bspwm on xenial puppy. I built bspwm and sxhkd and was able to install it. The problem is that when i reboot to command line, i ran startx & bspwm Bspwm and rox-filer doesnt seem to like each other.. So my question is 1. Is it ok for rox and bspwm to co-exist at a given ...

Here you go: menuentry 'Puppy xenialpup64 CE 7.5 [666philb] k4.9.58 Xorg1.18.4 <x>' --unrestricted --hotkey='x' { search --file --set root --no-floppy /xenialpup64/initrd.gz linux /xenialpup64/vmlinuz pmedia=usbflash pfix=fsck psubdir=/xenialpup64/ initrd /xenialpup64/initrd.gz } That is good if yo...

Thanks a lot!
Ill go ahead and check this out once I'm home.

Hi. Its been a while. I installed puppy on the hard disk together with linux mint Tara and windows 7. I did not run grub4dos because i already have grub installed on mint. After installation, i booted mint and run: sudo update-grub But, it did not able to find puppy on the hard disk. I tried to run ...

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.

I learned it from here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=87465

Im trying to compile xfe-1.34 but unseccessful. Compiling libFOX-1.6.49 with ./configure --build=i486-t2-linux-gnu --with-opengl=no --enable-static=yes --enable-shared=no --enable-release and make gave me libFOX-1.6.a and libFOX-1.6.l in /usr/local/lib. Running xfe's ./configure i got an error "...

Finally, it booted. Both flash drives. 8) Reinstalled using Puppy Universal Installer, formatted drive as ext3 and choosing mbr.bin works. The only thing is if the partition table is set to bsd, the boot flag on Gparted cant be checked. Anyways, installing puppy on a usb drive with ext3 filesystem; ...

@sunburst, yes i was able to compile with that. thanks for the info. i really dont know that syslinux is for FAT. its almost solued, specialy now that oscar had successfully done it. but sorry guys, its almost 2am here in the philippines and im drowsy now. i'l do what you have done when i wake up os...

i remember an appearing error on boot saying "incomplete syslinux". yes, they are both flashdrives. 1 8gb kingston dt & a 2gb transcend. what i really appreciate much about puppies is that i can go anywhere without the need to always carry a netbook. just my usbs on my pocket would be ...

thanks galbi. but all computers i've tested surely can boot from usb (if its on fat filesystem). i just really know why it cant boot if its on ext2, 3 or 4. is this file system thing machine specific?

im really planning to try and learn how to compile some apps on puppy using 2 usbs which, the first would be where my puppy is. the 2nd one would be an 8gb usb that will serve as a compiling space. ive read a lot of articleS about compiling in puppy and it was said that it should be done on a linux ...

i wish someone could point me to a beginners tutorial for gtkdialog. ive heard that gtkdialog can be utilized through bash, no need to compile? im really new to linux. learning bash makes me bang my head against my palm in succession. but anyway, i like it. TIA to any links. i really need it.

is there any shell utility to determine all installed libraries\versions? and if ever there's a need to reinstall\upgrade the gcc compiler, is it ok to install it via ppm or do i have to open and drop it in the devx.sfs? sory for to many questions. just dont want to break my installed pup.

:?:hi! im looking for a wxwidget specific IDE, namely codelite, which have been created as a pet? if there is, wish you could lend a link. and a midori browser also if there is. TIA.

I thinks its freezing (the Puppy Precise 5.6 from distrowatch).
But gladly, Lucid 5.2.8 worked! I already have it working now.
Thanks. Just a couple of tweaks to make it work.
