Kinda Lucid Puppy 006 (August 1st)
If you go to setup>mouse/keyboard wizard, the pop-up window contains an entry 'configure your touchpad' This button is 'dead' because it should load flsynclient, which is not installed. I will try to find it and install it to see if it works. It is very small and works pretty well.

The two .pets from further up this page (http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 0ef#431915) fixes filechooser. No downside, no Rox focus bug.

Will look for gtk .pet next
Installed Liberation true type font .pet but no way can I make the system recognise the new fonts. this is a new one on me

DaveS,
Just a shot in the dark here, but does this link help?

'fraid not Roy. That thread describes what SHOULD happen. Here, the drivers are unpacked, but then deleted before I can select one. They should not be deleted before the browser closes.Roy wrote:DaveS,

Xorg Wizard bug in klp-004
This computer has a seventeen inch LCD screen which apparently returns the string CMV 17" as its model name. In the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file generated by the wizard the following line in the Section "Monitor" prevents X from starting.
ModelName "CMV 17" AD"
I always have to edit this line to
ModelName "CMV 17 AD"
In klp-004 I select Xorg in the first screen of the Puppy Video Wizard and highlight 1280x1024x24 before entering <Test_X_NOW>
This immediately returns:
Report on X test:
Resolution: x pixels
Horizontal frequency: KHz
Refresh frequency: Hz
Video driver: ati
If you are reading.....
Tab to <Tweak> then ENTER
<Tweak_xorg.conf> Enter
<OK> Enter
does _not_ bring up xorg.conf in an editor but instead takes you back back to:
Okay, just about to take the plunge......
The only solution is to _not_ <Test_X_NOW> but to try Xorg without testing first. The wizard then drops you to the command line after displaying the line:
If X failed to start, type "xorgwizard" to setup X
at the prompt enter
e3ne /etc/X11/xorg.conf
and edit the line
ModelName "CMV 17" AD"
to become
ModelName "CMV 17 AD"
ave and exit the editor. At the prompt enter
xwin jwm
and you arrive at the desktop.

005 is pushed back, I'm having some problems here ... time to format my whole drive and clean up the mess. Looking good so far, but there are 3 annoying problems to get rid of:
- The help page doesn't open unless Opera is already running, Opera starts the speed dial thing instead of opening it.
- CUPS is too used to PuppyBrowser, gotta make some Opera bash launcher that waits until Opera closes, because Opera daemonizes or does something quirky so the CUPS shell script goes on instead of waiting for Opera to end. I was thinking of some script that starts Opera, then it checks whether Opera is running once per second and exists if it isn't. That's the only solution I can think of.
- In the latest Woof, there's no automatic wired internet connection as in 004. Barry mentioned that somewhere as an issue he's trying to figure out. I also had a corrupt /etc/resolv.conf in one of the 005 builds, so I rebuilt it from the 4.3.1 ISO and things seem fine, except the missing automatic connection.
The difference from 004 is pretty much cosmetic, except some removed stuff that reduce the ISO size by less than 1 MB
I'll upload a delta from 004 to 005 for those who want it, that should be useful.
superchook: that's the 4.3.1 xorg. KLP is built directly from the 4.3.1 ISO to make sure they're 100% compatible.

I remember Ttuuxxx having this problem with a 4.3 re-spin using Firefox. I think the way he solved it was to set the script to end after the printer drivers had been generated, then have a separate menu button to delete them again after the printer was set up. Might be worth dropping him a PM?Iguleder wrote:I was thinking of some script that starts Opera, then it checks whether Opera is running once per second and exists if it isn't.

Solved both the help icon and CUPS problems with a simple launcher.
005 is almost ready, all issues fixed, all features added ... just needs some polish
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
# an Opera launcher, waits for Opera to end, then closes
/root/.local/bin/opera "$@"
while true; do
sleep 1
if [ "`ps | grep /root/.local/lib/opera/opera`" = "" ]; then
exit
fi
done
