I've haven't been involved with CE due to little RAM (240M) to run it, I'll find those files and put them on puptrix.
Yep. Did that (several times) and still no menu entries. I checked (and rechecked) Nathan's updated XDG directory and menu files, too. No joy. Maybe it's just me, but from the posts above I don't really think so. Has something fundamental changed in the way XDG menus are dynamically created?Pizzasgood wrote:To get the menus working, just open a terminal and run fixmenus then restart the windowmanager. Presto, you should have menu entries.
Ok, we need to know a bit more about the error message. What did it actually say? Did you check the md5sum for the ISO after downloading?Scoticus wrote:I liked the look of what was on offer but find that when I burn the ISO to disk I end up with error message when closing / rebooting. I am using multisession disk as it lets me experiment with what I am looking for.

The best way, if you want to start with a full setup, is to download the iso and sfs files, then use Isomaster to add the sfs files to the iso. Then burn the iso to CD-R. Everything should then be available on the CD for next boot.Scoticus wrote: Everything looks brilliant on paper but how do I get it onto my system. ?
That's very much the point with Puppy - the fun part, not the frustration. The fact it is also so complete, fast and usable is a bonus for the likes of us who are learning as we go.Scoticus wrote: I am having great fun experimenting at finding what I can do and what suits me but to have what looks so near to my ideal setup only to find that is is so far away is so frustrating.
Yep. That's a long-standing JWM issue. I'll have a look and see if I can organise a workaround using XDG menus.ralphv wrote:When I switch to jwm, the menu has no option to switch back to icewm, I have to type restartwm icewm in a command window. Also, in jwm, Gaim is not in the menu, so it has to be typed in from the command line.

I think the problem is bandwidth. Lot's of puppies trying to download their new toy all at the same time.Jactek wrote:Got it 6th or 7th time must be the charm !!!!
Looks good
Ok. Must be just extremely high demand then.Previously known as Guest wrote:Same host, but different servers.WhoDo wrote: I believe at least two are using the same server;

In Puppy you are root by default and root has access to absolutely everything? What program were you trying to use?
Cheers
Yep, seems that peeps love their Puppy variants. Servage currently let me hit 110GB in one day which is astounding to think that much was downloaded in 24 hrs. (actually less than 24 hrs & tickets have been submitted on that issue.)WhoDo wrote: Ok. Must be just extremely high demand then.![]()

After several false starts I finally added the web.sfs and pgs.sfs files to the Puppy 215CE iso and burned a multisession DVD+RW with the super-sized (~250 MB) "Graphics" iso. The DVD boots, saves and reboots with the saved settings. I can see them when I mount the DVD, but I don't know if the extra sfs files are doing anything. .Nathan wrote:The best way, if you want to start with a full setup, is to download the iso and sfs files, then use Isomaster to add the sfs files to the iso.

Yep. If you included the pgs_215.sfs, then you should be able to type gimp in a console and have it run. That will show it is there and mounted. We're still trying to work out why the menu system updates on Pizzasgood's machine but not on mine, or yours evidently.Flash wrote:I booted the new "Graphics" DVD+RW I burned, changed a few things, shut down saving to the DVD, and booted again. The saved settings were remembered, but I don't know how to tell if the sfs files are correctly "installed" and useable. How can I tell?
Thanks, willhunt. Much appreciated.
Great, Ted Dog! That should help out with the downloads, big time! Much appreciated.Ted Dog wrote:http://puptrix.org//isos/ce
