Classic Pup 2.14X -- Updated 2 series
Top3
As reported by Keef in page 254, i also notice Fierefox is having memory problems in top3, which was never the case in RC5. I also notice that the webpages are taking longer to load. Has anyone had the same problem or is it my network that got slower?
Hello,
MinHundHettePerro , you are my hero...
Finally, at rc5, I am able to install this on my dinosaur...
Dropped my ram usage to 90mb, and no swap usage at all..7% CPU..
With Firefox running...!!!
Time to play..LOL
THX again MinHundHettePerro
#update#...
The latest Opera 10.6 runs like a scalded monkey on this version...

Puppyluvr, that is impressive! Maybe it's time I tried Puppy Classic / Retro again.
Gigabyte M68MT-52P motherboard, AMD Athlon II X4 630, 5.8 GB of DDR3 RAM and a 250 GB Hitachi hard drive running Ubuntu 16.04.6, MX-19.2, Peppermint 10, PCLinuxOS 20.02, LXLE 18.04.3, Pardus 19.2, exGENT 200119, Bionic Pup 8.0 and Xenial CE 7.5 XL.
Is Opera out as a pet or is there a good procedure for installing it directly to Puppy? I've managed to screw it up every time I've tried, but I'd also like to post it if there's a .pet available.puppyluvr wrote:

Hello,
sullysat:
Although there are recent pets available for Opera, installing Opera is not the way to go...The Opera tarball is fully self contained...D/L it and unpack it to /mnt/home so its outside your save..Drop the "Opera" script onto your desktop, (the icon is in /share/icons in the Opera directory)..Thats it...
Much easier to run from /mnt/home than Firefox...
I keep all "big" stuff, ie FF, OO, Wine etc in /mnt/home.
That way your cache and profile are not in your save...

Well, I fixed all metacity´s errors in xerrs.log , some metacity/gnome default configuration files are needed.
I attach the default files to configure metacity. These settings also adds new key shortcuts, that will enhance Windows refugee experience and extends Super (Win) key functionality with metacity. (Superswitcher must be disabled before)
Super (Win) key:
Windows behavior:
Minor change:
I also Modified Desktop Themes script to active sub-programs as background process, this let you choose different applications from the same Desktop Theme manager without locking it.
After this pet is installed you must restart X (sometimes need to be restarted twice ).
Any comment is welcome

metacity/xfce combo .pet request
Hello ttuuxxx,
Is it possible to have metacity/xfce as a pet to be tried on other variants of puppy?
As always, thanks for your devotion to puppy development.
Cheers.

Re: metacity/xfce combo .pet request
Hi don´t think it´s a easy task, metacity/xfce need many Gnome libraries that are not present in any other Puppies.smil99 wrote:Hello ttuuxxx,

Maybe a full SFS package with all the included stuff could be the answer, but it still could fail to work in other Puppies, because ttuuxxx made massive updates to 214X core libs.
Anyway, a SFS file will be a pleasant option for any Classic Pup 214X user, and why stop here?, this SFS file could include many other WM/taskbar/addons combinations that could be activated by the user choice.
We really enjoy the hard work that ttuuxxx have spend here.

Re: metacity/xfce combo .pet request
Hi Thats wouldn't be a easy task at all, Its not just the compiling of the 15 or so apps, its the configuring of the xdg menus, icons and other parts. most of the configs could be borrowed from 2.14X. Actually you might see in future puppies metacity/xfce included that I take part in developing. Puppy has so many base versions these days it would be hard to a package that could work on all, like 4.0,4.3, woof/5 series. could have a potential of 7+ different versions. Plus to keep the few gnome extra libs small in 2.14X I did alter and reduce some of the needed default libs in the sources.smil99 wrote:Hello ttuuxxx,

If the question is whether metacity and/or xfce can be packaged as .pets, the answer is that there are already well configured xfce .pets available.
If you're asking whether Ttuuxxx's hybrid metacity and xfce environment can be packaged then Ttuuxxx's reply (above) applies, obviously.
