Load the DEVX module -> use add-apt-repository -> unload the DEVX module -> run apt-get update.saintless wrote:Start sfs-get-MintPup from the menu and you will see all available modules.
The DEVX module includes also add-apt-repository packages: Loading the module only for adding new PPA repo and unloading the module keeping the PPA repo active works from limited testing.

I'm not sure about this $PREFIX variable. I guess it is part of variety script and should be executed from variety script.
But if it works as separate command after login it should work in script inside /home/puppy/Startup

Yes, I've played around with different window managers too, and had similar problems with conky and wallpapers. Trouble is, distribution builders have no option but to limit themselves to one or a few window manager possibilities in terms of getting everything stable and tested. As soon as you change window manager or wallpaper changing mechanisms a whole slew of new issues do, it seems to me, always tend to need to be addressed - which is a big job sometimes. Even icewm gave a lot of problems during original development of DebianDog, because of small but critical timing issues, which caused background wallpapers not not show through or for other windows to show through to the foreground when we don't want them to. Hopefully someone has time to figure it all out, but I think any major change like wm and so on does tend to need to be dealt with on a case by case basis.otoshan wrote: When Chromium is in fullscreen a part is under openbox taskbar.

Also i don't know is this bug from openbox or conky, but i want to report when wallpaper is changed for 4-5 seconds conky use background from previous wallpaper.

I don't think we can fix this. The only fix I can suggest is to setup conky to use color like in the screenshot here.Also i don't know is this bug from openbox or conky, but i want to report when wallpaper is changed for 4-5 seconds conky use background from previous wallpaper.

I don't recommend such option. Both prompts are needed. In my opinion you can clean many files from chrome-browser and other programs inside $HOME/ and you can also remove the locale files you don't need.Edit: Would be great Toni if in RemasterDog has skip prompt or ask before copying for "Create module" and "Delete squash folder". I mean, these questions is need confirmation. In large operating system copying requires more time and until i saw that copying is complete passed unnecessary time.
Just quick tested yesterday but I can say variety has many options. Like check and download new wallpaper every few minutes and auto change wallpaper with time interval (even every few seconds). I guess using the option to auto-download new wallpapers will result in more resource usage.mcewanw wrote:Having read the posts, I am curious about variety though, which is why I looked up its ppa yesterday (prior to Toni's comments about DEVX add-apt-repository command availability) for manual installation into sources.list. How does it compare to using 'nitrogen' in terms of functionality and resource usage? In other words, is it worth changing over to that in my own openbox set up (baring in my these outstanding conky/Chromium issues with using it)?
Probably can be fixed;When Chromium is in fullscreen a part is under openbox taskbar.

It can be because of variety, didn't test your setup.Also i don't know is this bug from openbox or conky, but i want to report when wallpaper is changed for 4-5 seconds conky use background from previous wallpaper.

Hopefully I'm right being optimistic, I can't see a real problem, see my answer in DebianDog thread :Toni wrote:This post is mostly for me and Fred but anyone interested to help is welcome.
Using mintpup yad GUI installer as user started from menu entry will ask for root password (ktsuss -u root). It is the same in DebianDog.
Few days ago we found progress bar bug and it is connected with the problem (mintpup installer has the same bug as debdog-installer included in debdog iso). ..
