dalebednell,
If you can get to the terminal from your desktop, try these commands:
then
If you are unable to access the terminal, then you can try booting Puppy with the pfix=nox parameter which will bring you to a command prompt in order to try the above fixes.
Hope this helps,
Monsie

Code: Select all
fixmenus
Code: Select all
jwm -restart

Trying could mean many things .
Clicking on a .pet or .dep should install it over existing bins and libs .
Uninstalling would delete files that had been overwritten by an installation .
Before uninstalling, it probably be wise to click on the main.sfs inside the .iso and open /root/.packages/PKG_NAME.files file and check things .
I usually install a frugal one inside a full one, to easily be able to access the pup-*.sfs .
Also wise : To run ldconfig ( probably part of the devx_*.sfs ) to repair evtl. broken links by an uninstallation of a package .
Wisest : Use Puppy as a compile environment and configure --prefix=/usr/local .
