yes,me too! so far, I like LxPup 15.02 non-Pae) very much....I like the lxde (?) window manager versus the jwrmc(?) because it is easier for this windoze refugee and especially, it works with Opencpn navigation program.
I have used on 3 laptops from usb stick: HP G60, HP Dv1000 and a Dell D420
The only real pest has been the D420's Broadcom 4311 wireless card but I eventually found the tip to blacklist "wl" and that works!!
(...tahrpup 6.0.02 is excellent too (and no issue with B4311) except I could not get OpenCPN to display properly on it. I think it must be due to Opencpn's wxgtk dependencies ...)

wlan0 not seen after initial save/reboot - LxPupTahr 15.02.1
I posted this issue in the newbie help forum and it was recommended that I post it here as well. It is copied and pasted so it may require edits for clarification. PM me if this is the case. Thanks:
wlan0 not seen after initial save/reboot - LxPupTahr 15.02.1
I tried the vanilla JWM TahrPup, even though I can't tolerate that desktop, and had a similar problem, but "ifconfig wlan0 up" in the terminal fixed it right away.
Not the case here, I'm getting "ifconfig: SIOCGIFFLAGS: no such device" and prior to the first reboot when setting up the save file everything was working fine.
I tried several Puppy variants and this is the one I want to stick with for being up to date, complete (distros like X-Slacko lacked things like Xsane and Peasyscan) and having an agreeable desktop environment, but I need wifi to work.
I'm setting it up on an Acer Aspire One 532h-2588 which according to system info utilities has an Atheros AR5B95 Wireless Network Adapter, but this install (via unetbootin) is on a USB stick* and I intend it as a portable OS to use on multiple computers wherever I happen to be, so I can't constantly be fussing with wifi issues.
I have been using Linux Mint for nearly a couple years now, but I am new to Puppy. Any clues? I have done the initial set up several times, deleted the save file and started over but this keeps happening. It really seems like a major bug. Also, no access to a wired network, so hopefully the solution is through the terminal.
*The USB stick is FAT32, one single 16GB partition. It was freshly formatted prior to the install, but not upon deletion and rebuild of save file.
There is a folder called "Keys" on it containing my keepassx database and key file for access, in addition to the Puppy install. This must be accessible from other booted OSes as well as Puppy as it stores my logins/passwords.
The install uses the recommended .2fs file with heavy encryption and is located on the top level of the partition with the other Puppy OS files.

Please try blacklisting the wl driver as that is present in LxPupTahr and is known to sometimes claim wifi devices erroneously.
After a first reboot, go:
Menu -> System -> System -> Boot Manager -> Modules -> Blacklist module
and move wl into the right hand pane
then reboot.
Cheers

New look?
I am considering a new look for LxPup at the next release....
The icon set is called flat-remix
The OpenBox theme is from Windows8OB by David Andrew
Please send any comments by PM so as not to clog up the thread.
Thanks

Menu -> Setup -> ALSA Sound Wizard
to adjust your sound
and
Menu -> Multimedia -> Pavrecord
to test settings
Then try Skype again when you have sound configured correctly.

LxPup-15.03
LxPup-15.03 is available to download from:
http://lx-pup.weebly.com/slacko60.html
Slackware-14.1 (Slacko6-Beta2) flavour with no-pae k3.4.94 and pae k3.17.7 versions
Main change is the new "look" - new default background, flat-remix iconset, Windows8OB window decoration, xfce-dawn gtk2 widgets
ppm and pup-sys-info also updated
(if you want to revert to a close approximation of the previous "look" then use Menu -> Desktop -> Change appearance and select:
Windows - Onyx
Theme - Nodoka-Aqua
Icons - Elementary
Background - vladstudio-windypress)
Note: updating an existing savefile will likely need some desktop reconfiguration after 1st boot - particularly an iconset will need to be selected and a windows manager restart done. This is because the box iconset is no longer included.
Cheers

LxPupTahr-15.03
LxPupTahr has also now been updated to version 15.03.
See http://lx-pup.weebly.com/upup-tahr.html for download.
TahrPup updates to 22-Mar-2015 16:09 are included.
Box icons are no longer included.
The Puppy update process does not support LxPup fully, so if you are updating a previous install of LxPup you will need to do some manual tweaking after the 1st boot.
In particular you should:
- select the new iconset (flat-remix): Menu -> Desktop -> Desktop appearance -> Icons
- delete the optional top-panel if you have activated it and then re-activate it:
Menu -> Desktop -> Desktop appearance -> Options -> Top panel
You may also need to change the background and the GTK2 widget theme depending on how many changes you have made to these features in the past.
Cheers

pets download
where is the pet or sfs when quickpet download ?
Re: pets download
Afraid I don't personally use quickpet.....clasico3124 wrote:where is the pet or sfs when quickpet download ?
Looking in /usr/local/quickpet_precise
for .pets - they are downloaded to /root and deleted after install
.sfs must be left in a location where they will reload on next boot - probably /mnt/home?

Updated from 14.12 to 15.03 last night -Everything's working perfectly ..Actually it's gotten better
The new win8 themes and icons are really good.
Allt+f2 launcher wouldn't work in the old version;I can use it now.
I am still confused about security updates though??
Thanks peebee for such a awesome distro..

If you are using the LxPupTahr flavour then that includes 666philb's quickpet update mechanism and he provides security updates through that route. Go into Quickpet and click Check for updates.
For the LxPup (Slacko) flavour there is Updates Manager - latest from Slackware in the menu. Some of the entries will be already present and updated but can be loaded again if you are in doubt.
