4.4 Alpha 1
Installing DuDE 0.2 seemed to solve a load of niggly little problems.
Midori chugs along nicely. Installing Firefox OVER Seamonkey breaks CUPS a bit. Normal. Setting the font in GTK theme is a bit obscure, probably a good thing...............
Pnote is welcome. Dont care for the barebones Geany window as I cant drag it around by the window bar (needs alt doubletap). Like black terminal background.
Vattery dont display

I tried running vattery in 4.31 and got the same result - it has the same gtk package ... running from rxvt I get failed to execute child process "ibam" no such file or directory ... it wasn't in the pet so I compiled ibam and it is working in 431 now to test again... but sleep first

Hi been using lhp for the past month or two thought I would try this version of puppy,
Ok being a non programmer etc,............ Here is my list of little problems installed Firefox would not start so uninstalled it it was listed on dotpet puppy manager. Window for used programs still shows firefox in the list even though it was uninstalled. Tried to install new Seamonkey but have version 2.0b2 which wont do all the things I prefer like ad block etc....this needs to be started by going into programs,internet etc.... route I cant just click on the window which lists used programs was hoping that puppy would replace old program with new. I like this style of puppy.

OK, so this is MUCH better from a users point of view than 4.3.*
Correctly auto-configured and logged on to wired LAN, browsers accessed internet via this LAN with no tweaking. It is cool to be able to drop a script into Favourites so that it is available with a couple of clicks. No more editing .jwm files.........
Both my printers installed flawlessly. I needed to know the address of the wifi one, but the USB one was autodetected.
Nice work.

I use an HP C4380 wifi printer and a Canon Pixma 4600. Both work just fine but the HP is a total SH*T to set up for the very first time. Actually involves borrowing a Windows PC to do it. After that, it is trouble free.Newuser wrote:May I ask what Printer your using as I have never been able to get my lexmark to work with any linux version.

No. This is something strange ONLY with the HP printer I have. To make it work, it has to be configured from a Windows pc first. I have never seen any other printer like it.Newuser wrote:hi the anks for the reply you state you sue the windows disk does that mean you compile a puppy driver from the disk as I would not even know how to do that I salute you.

Well, it works 'out of the box' in 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 v3 for me:)jemimah wrote:No one's mentioned that to me in all these months?

snap2 for 4.4
Please consider adding snap2 rotating snapshot backup program (with gtkdialog GUI) to 4.4. It is now at version 4.5 and is considered stable/tested. I believe it adds important backup functionality to Puppy (http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=50402), and it adds little overhead (the 3 shell scripts total 81K).

Ok well this is now disturbing me I have had to remove all traces of frugal install because I could not update seamonkey correctly in fact no browser would work. I must point out that I do want to be able to use puppy but why does it have to be so difficult?
I dare say people on here will rant and rage about how ex windows users blindly install software on to their pcs and not know what it does or where its going, true yes very true. However I can ride motorcycles or drive cars I don't need to know why the it moves or how it moves it just does if it breaks down I take it to someone who will fix it for me. Lazy? probably but answer me this do all those people who use puppy know how a to fly a plane to fix it? or how to build a crux a frame structure? (I do). Why are the repositories not updated with current versions of software from browsers to flash?

At first read - I thought you had used the code from ibam in your vattery code and since ibam wasn't in the pet or referenced I thought that it was somehow broken (thus the reason for all the bash battery scripts in that thread)... after looking at the vattery code in order to replace some ibam sections with bash, I realized it was calling ibam instead... `which ibam` yielded a blank prompt (which was my prompt to compile the latest ibam) Anyhow sorry for all the bash pollution in the Vattery thread.jemimah wrote:No one's mentioned that to me in all these months?

@Newuser - windows invented "dll-hell" otherwise it would be called "so-hell" ... without corporate backing, the pilots are having to do their own airplane maintenance here and predominantly maintain the parts that make their planes fly without crashing (preferably stable and tested parts), but are more than helpful to other "pilots" in need or wanting to test the bleeding edge... provided they don't talk trash
