Puppy 2.15CE RC3 Clean Up
Warren,
Just wondering what the situation is on the "missing" resolution change button on the XOrg configuring panel that you were going to look into?
Were you able to find anything out in your investigation as to why it was dropped around ver 2.10?
Reminded of it because right this moment I would like to drop back on a temporary basis to 1024x768 on one machine, then restore 1280x1024 (or whatever it is).
Very useful if you want to see what a desktop capture looks like sometimes.

Another point, should have made one post, sorry.
The default icon spacing...
RightClickDesktopIcons > ROX-Filer > Options > PinboardBehaviour > IconGridStep
might be a lot better for new users if changed from Coarse to Medium.
Equally it might be a lot better for established users, lol
I wouldn't recommend going to Fine. There is too great an increment there, and imho it's just about useless as a result

Re: JWM config
Ok, I've checked it out and some of those items were programs not meant to show in the XDG menus, so I have dealt with them. The others were pointing to incorrect icon files. I have fixed them for RC4/Final so all should be fine.raffy wrote:That was the result of change in JWM theme in Desktop - JWM Config - one more reason to remove the JWM theme options!Which version are you using, Raffy? Are you using JWM or IceWM?1. There are missing icons in the menu, specifically in desktop, setup, utility, multimedia.

Re: seamonkey wouldnt run
Dougal's remaster script under Setup will burn to all sorts of media, not just CD's.mysticmarks wrote:Also, i have not tested to answer my own question here, but i use puppy on usb only. Can i burn a puppy disc from a usb install? IF so, what about adding a basic sytem menu entry to clone the running puppy to a blank disk or other media? (i.e.- Clonepup)
Hope that helps

Re: Issue with soundcard
Sounds like madplay, which has been default for most media files not associated elsewhere. Puppy 2.15CE RC4/Final makes the default audio player xmms, so you should always have a way to stop the audio from a GUI player.Rudy wrote:TAfter copying all available sfs files to /, I clicked on an a .mpr file in Rox - "and there was sound". So the driver was loaded somewhere. But no application was open. Something was playing the file in the background. Quick look to terminal (#> top) revealed nothing peculiar- I did not know which application to kill.
That's xmms saying it can't find that file - gxine probably still had it locked.Rudy wrote:Wait until file ends. Then, I right-clicked on the same file, "open" with gxine: sound ! I stopped gxine and opened xmms, chose play file: xmms loaded, played the file in silence very fast (1min in 10 sec): no sound.
The sound is controlled by alsa sound server, volume by pmixer.Rudy wrote:Reboot. Start PMixer (nice program by the way), and played with the lever: "noise" on the speakers came up at highest level and died when putting lever down: so there is a link between alsa and the speaker.
Not sure. Try again with RC4/Final and see if the problems are resolved. It seems pretty stable so far.Rudy wrote:Open mp3 with gxine. The file is loaded, gxine displays the "goom" visual, time counter runs correctly: but no sound.
Can it be there is a missing link between alsa and the applications (sometimes)? Are there drivers hidden in some of the .sfs files, activated during first boot-up ?
(Lots of stupid questions )
You need to run fixmenus from a console, and then refresh the window manager, to have the menu items show.Rudy wrote:Also, the .sfs files never seemed to be activated (visible in the menu or executable via command/terminal)... but I will search on the forum for this, I haven't tackled this so far.

Had a meeting on #irc last night, but didn't get any devs so no-one knew why it wasn't there or what happened to it. It might be worth posting on the dev forum in case it can be reinstated for 2.16richard.a wrote:Just wondering what the situation is on the "missing" resolution change button on the XOrg configuring panel that you were going to look into?
Only other suggestion would be to try copying the last known version of that wizard into your latest Puppy. Remember to backup the old script first, so you can change back if there's a problem.

A little difficult to do as it involves keeping Rox's personal settings (I think). I'll have a look and see if I can find the default Rox configuration files.richard.a wrote:The default icon spacing...

In /root/Choices/ROX-Filer/Options, find this line:
<Option name="pinboard_grid_step">XX</Option>
Changing the XX will alter the resolution of icon setting (I think). 16 should correspond to "medium". Otherwise, just configure ROX with the gui, then copy that options file into the package. Just make sure it's exactly as you want the one in the iso to be.

Flash and Opera under 2.15 RC3
If Flash 9 is part of the sfs file that has other web stuff......and I have installed Opera 9.10....but Flash doesn't work. What do I need to do to get it working? (Flash works fine under Firefox on the same machine with RC3)
BTW, the earlier reference to the flashforopera.pup file didn't work for me. Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

You can use the flash library files from /root/.mozilla/plugins in Opera 9.10, IF they are Flash 7. That definitely works. Just put them in the Opera plugins directory. I've tried doing that with Flash 9 but couldn't get it to run. You can try again if you like, assuming the problem was specific to my installation.
Best test of Flash in Opera (or anything else) is www.disneyworld.com - they have a flash intro with music that just won't run unless you have Flash 9, and it tells you so.
Hope that helps.
