Dpup Exprimo 5.X.3.4.12 with 3.4.2 kernel.
Gnuxo. I suppose you are speaking of the /root/Startup/temp2tray dysfunction. Sensors-detect does not provide cpu temp information for every hw and so it gives error message. It should not happen with reboot...because the temp2tray symlink should vanish.
About focuswriter. Well...now you can test with qt-4.8.0 libs compiled in dpup and with focuswriter compiled in dpup. So....the circumstances are much better for test. Of course I cant guarantee anything.
And thank you of the feedback. I think Puppies improves all the time. These builds are never the finalized ones...they evolve all the time...with every new build....

Gnuxo. Just remove /root/Startup/temp2tray symlink and the error message stops to popping up. I will inspect what goes wrong.
About Qupzilla. No, it does not need gstreamer libs.
To install needed qt libs and qupzilla right, install it like this:
In PPM, use configure manager and untick other than squeeze repos, so that there is only 4 repos ticked. Needed exprimo repo is grayed and ticked and choosed. Exit the PPM and restart it. Now, the exprimo repo should be available.
Type qupzilla and choose all repos for search. You get hit for qupzilla in exprimo repo, accept it > examine dependencies and it shows qupzilla-1.2.0 and the right qt-4.8.0-basic-with-qtwebkit-dpup pet. Download and install and there you are.
Of course uninstall your previous choices. I dont know what you have downloaded but it does not seem to be right choices.
Posting this from Qupzilla and I did install it as I described...in fresh pfix=ram dpup.
BHINTZ. Did you reboot after installation. If yes...you could in console state try to unload other conflicting drivers: modprobe -r nv and modprobe -r nouveau and then load nvidia: modprobe nvidia. And then maybe run xorgwizard to choose nvidia xorg driver. There are scripts in pet and sfs in /root/Startup/nvidia and /etc/init.d/rc.nvida which should do those above things...basically...so it might be that you didnt reboot. And so those scripts didnt run.
How to initialize nvidia framework more...if needed...I dont have experience. Some one with nvidia and knowledge could test my packages if they work and give help if they basically works.
As I told...this was my first nvidia packaging and I used Shinobar`s work and his pet as template.

I got exactly the same message as bob.
I might have a go at compiling it myself as I have a nvidia graphics card, if I can find the source.

nvidia driver is found but lacking the module for the current kernel 3.4.2-dpup
I may not be installing this properly, so any advise is surely welcome.

Dpup Exprimo 5.X.3.4.2.1 with 3.4.2 kernel.
How to install the proprietary Nvidia driver:
Install devx_squeeze_5.X.3.4.2.sfs and kernel_sources-3.4.2-dpup.sfs
using SFS-Load on-the-fly (in the setup menu)
Download the proprietary Nvidia driver for your card from here:
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx
Exit to the prompt (logout from the shutdown menu), and navigate to
the Downloads directory (capital D)
Enter the command:
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-295.59.run
This will install the proprietary driver, the last prompt when running
the installer asks if you want it to update the xorg.conf, say no
When the installer is finished and you are back at the prompt run
xorgwizard and choose the nvidia driver and the desired screen
resolution, then, back at the prompt again enter xwin to get back to the
desktop.
This is from memory, hope it works for you
This should work on a new savefile.
EDIT: the links to download the kernel sources sfs and the devx are on page 1 of this thread.

Smokey01. I dont have knowledge how to create packageable installation. There are bunch of commandline commands for nvidia .run package. You can extract the package and give commands howto install it and you can give commandline options for nvidia-installer binary also...but I couldnt find easy way to install the package for example under single nvidia folder. Also that way probably several symlinks would be wrong when installing the pet with right folder structure.
So...no cure from me. But....now you could try that mplayer-vdpau and test the gnome-mplayer performance with changing to the vdpau video output in gnome-mplayer.

Dpup Exprimo 5.X.3.4.2.1 with 3.4.2 kernel.
I configured the repos in puppy package manager and updated them, then shut down ppm and restarted it.
Then installed xfce4, it's working well, a few icons missing in the menu but working well otherwise.

Thanks Billtoo for testing. I havent tested xfce with squeeze packages ever. These 2 window managers have been enough for me.
Gnuxo. I havent tested Qupzilla`s gstreamer abilities. I have thought to create gstreamer support package once....I had need for Clementine...but then my motivation stopped. I got Clementine working though. Knowing which and how much gstreamer plugins and libs would be needed and what libs and plugins would be needed for webm support would help to create the list of packages or create ready made pet. I have one big gstreamer pet already created....for Clementine needs, but it wasnt able to activate the webm support for Qupzillla. I have used flash with Qupzillla all the time. Jemimah is our gstreamer specialist. She might know the way to go....
About removing bunch of pets...I usually boot in pfix=ram and then I do my complicated tests or...mostly compiles. I install bunch of devel libs and stuff needed for compiling and then I just reboot without saving. Best way to get rid of test material or compile stuff....which you dont need in daily usage. Mass removing tool is not in PPM.
Anyway....my savefiles are also consuming stuff. I dont use one savefile long. When it gets full or more often...gets corrupted...I just remove it and start again.

Okay...I got curios. I managed to get Qupzilla to play webm. But...I had to use my Polarpup gstreamer-phonon-clementine pets and whole a lot stuff from squeeze repo to succeed. I got also Clementine working. It is playing in the background.
I checked this webm video with Qupzilla. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlqLU_tY ... =1&html5=1
Nice video. And I didnt have flash installed.
And...you need phonon-gsteamer enabled Qt-4.8.0 pet for this:
http://smokey01.com/pemasu/QT-4.8.0-dpu ... t-dpup.pet
I am sorry Gnuxo. That I told you wont need gstreamer support. I didnt thought about webm support when I posted that. Sorry.
So....it is possible...but to do that with squeeze packages....well....you really would need to know what you will need for gstreamer plugins and gstreamer libs and for those numerous other audio - video support libs which are needed for gstreaming. There is a lot of them. I suppose I am not gonna do that exercise. I had to install several pets and then again overinstall dpup stuff again due to lucid libs failures and at last I got working combination. Not for uploading....this experiment.

Thanks, I'll delete the save file and start over.
I really think that someone should write a apt-get autoremove like feature for ppm.
...Anyway, I tried installing razorqt from your smokey's repos but they didn't work on dpup.
How lightweight is razorqt? And is it a good option over e17? Because I've found the E17 on dpup not to my liking.

Okay, this is the method I did to create nvidia. Not the best way around, but simplest. Requirement: you must have nvidia card.
1. Boot with pfix=ram
2. Download nvidia installer from nvidia website. Make sure you save this in a place that would be in the savefile, e.g. /root is fine.
3. Shutdown and create a pristine savefile (with the driver already in it). Nvidia driver is big, you need to create at least 512MB savefile or bigger. 1 GB is recommended.
3. Reboot, using the savefile created above, with pfix=nox
4. cd /root and install nvidia driver. Follow all the steps.
5. If reboot is required, then reboot. If not, just proceed - make sure X desktop can start using nvidia driver.
6. When everything looks all right, reboot with pfix=ram again.
7. Create a folder which will be the root of the pet (it will be the name of the pet), e.g. nvidia-195, somewhere.
8. Open the savefile which contains the installed nvidia driver. Look and copy files from the following folders to that nvidia-195 folder.
- /lib
- /usr/lib
- /usr/X11R7/lib
- /etc/X11
9. Also create a pinstall.sh script (put this inside nvidia-195) that removes nouveau.ko.
10. Run dir2pet on that nvidia-195 folder.
11. Test that pet with a pristine savefile (don't delete the savefile that has installed nvidia in it until testing is successful). If it is not successful, some of the files may be missing, so repeat from step 7 onwards.
12. Done!
This method (excluding step 9) can be used not only for nvidia but also for all packages that defy new2dir.
