Like trying to find your way through a maze.
Inspiron 700m, Pent.M 1.6Ghz, 1Gb ram.
Msi Wind U100, N270 1.6>2.0Ghz, 1.5Gb ram.
Eeepc 8g 701, 900Mhz, 1Gb ram.
Full installs
Thought you'd like to know that Fluppy 006 made the lid switch and the sleep button work. The mute button still doesn't, but I assigned another key combo to that, so all is good.
Thanks.
Jon
Thanks.

However, hitting the Sleep key (Fn+F1), Mute key (Fn+F6) with Get Key in Xbindkeys, doesn't capture anything. In fact, I have to crash out of Xbindkeys by closing the Get Key window since it doesn't capture the key. Capturing the Vol up and Vol down (Fn+F8 and Fn+F7) respectively does work (they were the same as defaults).jemimah wrote:Jonlowe, open up Xbindkeys (on the Desktop menu), and try to capture the keycodes for the keys that don't work. Then send them to me and I'll fix it in the next version.
Is there any other way to capture the keys and and the lid closing action? Some other FN+ keys don't capture anything either.
Thanks!

Hi all
still not sure about the new taskbar volume control though.
cd's and dvd's work great through the file menu of Gxine, video and audio streaming working great too.
anybody else having problems with the printing as when I tried ecubes solution I still could not get cups to work.
I have been playing with gimp again
Cheers

Getting used to the new menus, now I have worked out where things are, but no preference either way (but thats with using a mouse)jemimah wrote:Question: What do you guys think of the new menu? Was it easier to find things with flat menus? or the new tiered menus?

I had already done a fresh frugal on a different box......no problems either.Stripe wrote:Hi James C
I have done a clean frugal install and youtube is working with chrome.
Guess it must be the upgrade?? but I dont know anything about that, perhaps someone else can help??
Hope you get it sorted
Stripe
The upgrade was a bit different.......Firefox wouldn't run,guess the upgrade removed some libs.Reinstalled the missing libs and fixed Firefox and I'm not certain of what I did bit Chrome likes Youtube again...it's playing videos again.
Speaking of Chrome; any chance of getting Chrome 6.x in the next version of Fluppy? Some add-ons, specifically Ad Block, don't work in 5.x. Plus Chrome sync is not fully functional in 5.x.
A point of comparison. I have Ubuntu 10.10 beta installed on my Averatec netbook, and I'm writing this from Fluppy on an SD card on the same netbook. Fluppy is much faster in every way. I will likely deinstall Ubuntu. It is, unfortunately, getting as bloated as Windows. The one thing that Ubuntu has all over any version of Puppy/Fluppy I've used, and that is printer installation. Getting my HP 2600n to work on Fluppy is a battle with CUPS, while Ubuntu auto detects it and sets it up with little intervention from me.
Keep up the good work.

Hi all
The fluppy-cups patch does work I forgot to add the following two lines of code after installation
# rm -rf /var/spool/cups
# /etc/init.d/cups restart
Hope this helps

Uhhhh, Jeremiah, "About Google Chrome" gives me this in Fluppy 006:jemimah wrote:Both fluppy05 and fluppy06 have Chrome 6.jonlowe wrote:Speaking of Chrome; any chance of getting Chrome 6.x in the next version of Fluppy?

5.0.375.127
It also has two menu icons on the upper right, indicative of a 5.x installation. 6.x and up consolidated them into one.
What am I missing? I verified Fluppy 006 from the kernel version.

What is the correct order of installing the patch? Install it, then reinstall CUPS? Or vice versa?
Thanks.

Doh, seems it got accidentally reverted in Fluppy006. I'll put it back for Fluppy007. Shouldn't be long I am on vacation and working on this full time.jonlowe wrote:Uhhhh, Jeremiah, "About Google Chrome" gives me this in Fluppy 006:jemimah wrote:Both fluppy05 and fluppy06 have Chrome 6.jonlowe wrote:Speaking of Chrome; any chance of getting Chrome 6.x in the next version of Fluppy?
