Good to see the newer than Lucid 5.2 Woof in action.
The PPM in particular is much improved. I was trying to view a video (avi file I think it was) - did not work, so downloaded (I think it was the woof repository) VLC. That did not run.
OK the principle is sound . . .
Gosh a real slack report but I am back in Lucid. The only real way to get a feel is to use spup. So will try again for the next release.
Never forget the principles of the Church of Bob
through which Slack got its guiding philosophy

Puppy Linux
With added Slack
VLC 1.1.5 from the Spup repository works fine.Lobster wrote: Good to see the newer than Lucid 5.2 Woof in action.

I haven't even tried the Woof repo,but I've had real good success from the Slackware repos.
Maybe this approach? http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=5679501micko wrote: But I am going to revamp the desk icon situation, mainly for simplicity.

Thanks James C,
I was trying to just click on an avi file - mplayer program loaded
but file did not play. Then downloaded VLC and tried to play a WTF or WMV (I think those are both MS formats) and ran into trouble.
Anyways back in spup for further mayhem. The internet connection (ethernet) was not persistent and had to reset.
Improvements for me over Lucid 5.2 is the return of the chat button - yeah baby!
. . . and a browser - a major browser built in.
Also we have JWM which must admit I prefer for major right clicking from desktop. Is it faster too?
Also we get transmission as automatic (so to speak)
Prefer the two layer JWM menu system
is it worthwhile adding this control center?

OK better read this whole thread to see what has been happening. Already great support and congregation of supporters and developers

Hi all
01 micko check this out, the coding might not be up to your standards but it already has the pupppypin files created and enables you to save any custom icon setup. the desktop icon setup is stored in /root/choices/ROX-Filer/PuppyPin X has to be restarted after any changes to make the drive icons reappear
the drive icon settings are stored in /etc/eventmanager just change them with the desktop drive icons manager, and the changes are stored there
hope this helps
stripe
edited to add: having problems with the save custom icons as it saves images of the drive icons as well and tries to load them when installed, so could get false drives unrtil x is restarted. if wmreboot is the terminal reboot command what is the restartX ? so I can get X to auto restart.

Very worthwhile, radky has written several nice little applications, PupControl, PupShutdown, PupApps, PupClock, and PupSnap. They work well together, provide menu-like access to most Puppy programs, and work fine on spup, and others 4.3 and higher. They help you take control and reduce desktop clutter.Lobster wrote:is it worthwhile adding this control center?

This is the ATI Catalyst 10-10 fglrx proprietary driver for Spup It seems to be installing properly and working well, at least on my HD 3850 card. Please delete the first attempt if you downloaded it.
It is for ATI HD cards, from 2400-5800.
It installs like a normal pet, which I guess it is, and then asks you to reboot. It also installs the ATI Catalyst Control Center under Menu -> System Status and config -> ATI Catalyst Control Center.
After install and reboot you can check Menu -> System -> Hardinfo -> Display -> scroll down, and you can enter glxgears or fgl_glxgears in a terminal.

Finally got around to doing a full install of 055 on the old P4 test box. Everything appears to be working fine ootb.

They also work in 4.2, with some very small tweaks.

Ok guys
Here is a simple desktop configurator with a few templates for customising your desktop. It doesn't pretend to have full control over the desktop but it is quick and easy. Just check your desired radio buttons and apply, that's it, X will restart. If you don't like what you see try a different configuration.
Thanks Stripe, that app you posted had a useful "minimal" puppypin that I did use, just slightly altered.
Cheers and enjoy!
a word of warning, this will undo any icon changes you have made
EDIT: I have now added Stripe's custom option too, get desksetup-0.2
EDIT: new version 0.3, fixes the bug where the custom profile is saved with the current wallpaper, when custom is selected now the wallpaper does not revert to that setting.
EDIT: Latest version next page

Does this disable the ROX pinboard when you select no icons and no drive icons?01micko wrote:Ok guys

(I'm downloading it and will hack it up and play with it to check anyway, but I just wondered - others might like to know as well..)

No sc0ttman, doesn't touch anything rox apart from PuppyPin. It also alters /etc/eventmanager, but you can get the same effect by running eventmanager in regard to the drive icons.sc0ttman wrote:Does this disable the ROX pinboard when you select no icons and no drive icons?01micko wrote:Ok guys

Hi 01micko,
Your desktop configurator for customising your desktop works fine with spup and lucid. Great that you enable current custom setup to be saved. Finally an easy way to eliminate desktop clutter.
Looks great with stu90's wallpaper.
Thanks,
Jim

Thanks Jim1911, there is a new version of desksetup http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 481#487481
It fixes a wallpaper bug with the custom setting.
I am going to add stu90's wall to 056, which may (or may not) be ready on the weekend. I like that notebook variation of the app too stu90. I may even adopt that approach and add radky's apps too.
One good thing about my app is that now, after you install an sfs it's a breeze to get your desktop back how it was. That bug (sfs) is also on my todo list but does involve tampering with critical system files.
Jim.. does TazOC have a fix for that, since LHP relies heavily on sfs?
Cheers

I usually use KDE4.4 with LHP and it has no problem with the desktop changing when adding sfs. I did switch over to JWM, added a sfs, rebooted, and there was no problem with that desktop either, so he may have a fix.
However, your new desktop configurator provides quick restoration of the desktop. I always manually backed up /Choices/ROX-filer/PuppyPin anyway so custom desktop could be quickly restored, now you've made that simple.
Radky's applications are a great addition. On my desktop, the last two items on wbar are his PupApps and PupShutdown. PupShutdown provides access to PupControl which allows access to all his applications. PupApps provides quick menu access to most used puppy programs.
You may also want to add your lucid wbar. All you have to do for it to work in spup is remove the default Quickpet selection.
Cheers,
Jim
01micko, I am thinking to post links to your desktop configurator plus radky's control panel in LupuNews. jim1911 said it works with Lucid. I'll check a bit--do you see any problems?
Oops, The minimal desktop icons worked fine, but the single drive icon didn't take--all the drive icons are back. I know you are not specifically supporting lucid here. It was in icewm btw. Same in jwm.
Hey stripe, I *am* taking a rest. Not being the "boss" is very relaxing
