Lupu-515 Beta New Version DEC 18

fluxbox=No icons in tray . To my very small knowage

Fluxbox has tray icons plus slit for wmaker applets plus pseudo transparency and other stuff just like acrocosm said and cooler styles then openbox's. On the other hand, fluxbox's development seems to be stuck since version 1.1.1 while openbox is more updated, but still fluxbox works on recent systems just fine. Either way, it's one of the best small window managers.

Shinobar and others that have told me to use pfix=ram was right.

that seems to be the best cure for this inability to boot that I have had.

So if others also have it then do try to add it to the kernel line and see if it helps.

the bad thing is that then one do not an upgrade but a new frugal install and have no access to all the thing that one spent month to install and learn how to use and one have to start all over.

So I need to check now that if I do a save file that it boot consistently after that one. I am in luci-236 if you wonder and the upgrade from 234 to 235 and to 236 failed to boot and using pfix0ram booted four times in a row so that seems to be the best way to do upgrade?

So how can I make use of the old pupsave with all the things me liked in it?

Auto connect to ethernet on boot

Auto connect to wired ethernet is supposed to work. It does work for me. However, pwireless2 could confuse the issue so it will go back to PPM for luci-237 (it is also bigger than I thought it would be--not bloated--just bigger than I thought because I wasn't thinking

------------------------------------------------------------

Can some clever person tell me why this runs sns whether or not there is a network connection? Thanks.

Code: Select all

#test if connected to internet...
FLAGINTERNETSTATUS='no'
WORKINGIF=''
if [ "`pidof dhcpcd`" != "" ];then
 if [ "`grep -v '^#' /etc/resolv.conf`" != "" ];then

  PSDHCPCD="`echo "$PSALL" | grep 'dhcpcd'`"
  for ONEIF in `ifconfig | grep '^[a-z]' | cut -f 1 -d ' ' | grep -v '^lo' | tr '\n' ' '`

I am sorry that happened nooby. These luci development releases are changing things every time so there could be the incompatibility you found. I regret to say that the simplest solution would be to reinstall the things you like.

[dejan555]

Maybe try booting with pfix=purge nooby?

Just installed 236
Thanks for adding the @euro in the selection list.
So there is this request remaining to add a button in the 1st run for the 24 hour clock.

My working environment applications still are run well.

Béèm, doesn't the 24 hour clock come up by default now? It does so in my Luci 235 and 236...If not everybody is seeing the 24 hour format,it must be based on locale choice now, or coincidence

(Changing the clock format can now be easily done in Fbpanel (menu>desktop>Fbpanel configuration.)

Wow, Opera installed in my language automatically! Thank you, thank you!

I know it is more difficult to do this for the other browsers, but are there any plans in the team to achieve this?

[playdayz]

I am running fluxbox now. Very nice.
1. it seems to be protected now from fbpanel running.

2. The pinstall message says Exit to prompt and enter 'xwin startfluxbox'. We should think about whether we want that or whether it would be best for all window manager switching to use wmswitcher. I used wmswitcher and things look good.

3. The fullscreen widget in gnome-mplayer works correctly (like openbox, unlike jwm).

4. The background (pup-paint-rings.jpg) looks great and imho the tok-tok icons look great also.

Bert, is there any chance you could check the other browsers by installing them and see which ones come up in your language?

Playdayz:

try:
if FLAGINTERNETSTATUS=='no'; then

instead of:
if FLAGINTERNETSTATUS='no'; then

but I am no programmer

That can be easily fixed, just remove dialog line from pinstall.sh, but leave the refresh menus command so it updates menu immidietly on install.

Good that you made changes to prevent fbpanel, did you also modify fixmenus with fluxbox_menu_refresh so it does automatic refresh? I'll download 236 later anyway and try.

I've only tried 236 on two machines so far(wired DSL) but no autoconnect here.Prior releases did automatically connect though.

I think 01micko must have fixed fbpanel starting. I might change the dialog line to instructions to use wmswitcher.

No. I did not modify fixmenus.Here's what is in there now.

Code: Select all

#w001 support for fbpanel, lxpanel, openbox, fluxbox, pekwm...
[ `which variconlinks` ] && variconlinks #100404 for my fbpanel pkg.
[ `which tempicons` ] && tempicons
[ `which fbpanel_menu_refresh` ] && fbpanel_menu_refresh
[ `which lxpanel_menu_refresh` ] && lxpanel_menu_refresh
[ `which jwm2fluxbox` ] && jwm2fluxbox  ##current fluxbox_menu_refresh doesn't support menu icons while this does
[ `which obmenu-refresh` ] && obmenu-refresh
[ `which jwm2pekwm` ] && jwm2pekwm

Thanks.

. . . that reminds me
the clock in KDE seemed to have no relation to any reality I am aware of . . .
JWM and Openshot clocks are OK

Had a wee problem with GoogleEarth
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 128#465128

The sound is not persistent.
I am having to run (the new and helpful)
connection wizard each bootup to get sound

[scruffy]

Fresh Frugal install of luci-236

Setup fine.
Sound works out of the box.
Internet setup ok with SNS.

Sound and internet persistent through reboots.

Succesfully installed:

Graphics driver Nvidia-96.43.16
Wine-1.1.43-Lucid.pet and Spotify.exe

From Quickpet:
Opera 10.63
Pwidgets
Gimp 2.6

Everything working fine.

[sc0ttman]

initial test of luci 236

Firstrun works very well, did the job.. Nvidia installed fine from Quickpet.

Media player works well for me. Sound works.

I like OpenBox and Fbpanel.. It works well.. Looks nice..

However, when I restarted via wmswitcher, jwm had no tray, had to re-enable Fbpanel manually through the menu.

Why doesnt Fbpanel load up startup automatically in JWM? (as the JWM tray seems to be disabled)

Also, auto ethernet connection worked for me in LupQ amd 511 but not here, had to use the SNS, which popped up.

Major problem (for me, anyways) - I created a save file, but it wouldnt load up, couldnt be found.
Always booted to a fresh install, no save file.

I have a frugal install on a HD, and I put the save file in a /luci folder on a USB.. Using GRUB to boot it, all options seem fine.

Will experiment, but LupQ save files worked fine, with exactly the same process..

Hi Playdayz,

Just checked:

Firefox comes up in English
Seamonkey comes up in English
Chromium comes up in Dutch, just like Opera!

Thanks

[Bert]

In my case, I believe 233 was the last one that auto-connected to my wired ehernet. No go with 235 / 236.

Now in 236 connection is not remembered between reboots.

EDIT: connection okay now (remembered) , after running Barry's SNS

No. I did not modify fixmenus.Here's what is in there now.
