NOP 4.1 Released
Thanks, gray,
That oversight being dealt with, it upgrades my working configuration nicely. There's a later version of Thunar, and everything seems to work as before, except that Opera will not run at all. (If I use pfix=ram Opera 9.62 runs.)
Trying to run opera in terminal, I get this:
sh-3.00# opera
The Opera binary is not located at "/usr/lib/opera/9.60/opera".
Please modify the wrapper script at "/usr/bin/opera".
sh-3.00#

Hi all. I am in the process of switching from 4.1.1 frugal to the brilliant NOP, but have hit a problem. I seem unable to install previously downloaded dot.pup files. Previously in 4.1, I just clicked on these, and they autoinstalled, but in NOP, they open with archive manager. I hope its not too basic a question, but how do I overcome this?
ps. dotpuphandler is installed from the repos.
In the meantime, thanks for this brilliant Puppy.

NOP r1
shand : It is 4.10 based but with 4.1.1 fixes, so effectively 4.1.1
Henry: odd, that script should be top layer and so point to the correct place. You will probably have to edit the /usr/bin/opera script to point to 9.62 i.e OPERA_BINARYDIR=/usr/lib/opera/9.62
DaveS: Right click on a pup file and select Open with other application. Select use a custom command at the bottom of the popup gui and enter dotpuprox.sh as the application. Pup files have not been officially supported for a while in Puppy.

Compiz
MaxHeadroom :
After installing Nvidia driver, libwnk, fusion etc ...
Have you made sure the nvidia driver is working (you see the splash ?). If so then add the line compiz-manager & to the top of the .xinitrc file in /root. Then drop out of X (ctrl-alt-bkspc) and restart X (type xwin and enter). Compiz should then fire up. You may have to add a sleep after the compiz statement (I seem to need sleep 3).
When you installed the nvidia pet did you select the "fancy option" ? If not then you need to set up xorg for fancy graphics - see Wow's compiz thread.

Brilliant CD Remaster
I just made a re-master NOP DVD as I have it pretty much configured exactly how I want, and I notice the Dougal Puppy Re-Master is WAY more competent than the original. Totally brilliant thanks.
I got it working on my geforce 2 card with NOP 4.1
install xorg_full_dri.pet
install driver (select fancy option)
install python
install libwnck
install compizfusion package
edit /etc/profile commenting out the export argb visuals line with the # character
reboot (important otherwise emerald will crash with a segmentation fault)
mp /usr/bin/compiz-xfce
chmod +x /usr/bin/compiz-xfce4
startx compiz-xfce4
that will give you a desktop equivalent to wNOP (too bad it isn't live )

Thanks. I was getting lost trying to work out which file to download!Caneri wrote:Hi Gray,
Here's a high speed link to use

However whilst it provided high speed access to the iso link, that server is SLOW!!!!!!!!
Abiword details
Edited-condensed:
Abiword is nearly everywhere in Gnome related distros, so this is about it, not Nop. These are problems with it that do not bother everyone, but should a serious writer.
Abiword (and OO) claim to "import" WordPerfect but drop formatting and graphics.
Help menu: 6 out of 7 items give no response. Yes, I know help, such as it is, is available on the web. (This may be a compilation choice.)
Tools menu: Babelfish, Free Translation, Gdict, Edit image in Gimp, Google search, URL dictionary, Wiki encyclopedia. All give no response. If I try "Install New Plugins," Abiword closes.
All grammar checkers are pretty much worthless, especially Abiword's.
It seems one should be able to close a document without quitting the program.
It seems one should be able to set a default file save format like .odt instead of it trying to make you to use .abw.
It still doesn't have "smart" quotes!
These are some I noticed; there are more at:
