Macpup 550
Hi !
I have to differentiate the issue with my german keyboard settings .
What i have done ? Used " advanced Xorg Keyboard configurations "and installed KeyboardFixxer-1.pet .
Works ....so far .Settings are saved after restart .
But... when restarting desktop Xorgserver settings are gone .
I have to go to >Menue> Desktop > E17 Keyboard recovery (KeyzboardFixxer )
then everything is fixed again .
Just want to report .

Problem is that e17 runs the external setxkbmap command everytime it starts from xwin or the X Xorg server is restarted .backi wrote:Hi !

The Advanced Keyboard Configuration has added few lines of code to create a file in /root/Startup .
That file is executed everytime e17 gets started new from prompt shell .
Unfortunately e17 does not know /root/Startup , so just restarting e17 by the e17 menu panel or the need for the F1-recover-Key when e17 chokes mainly while fiddling with shelf-settings, makes e17 also run the setxkbmap command with this rather unsatisfying option line again .
That call to setxkbmap can be viewed in /tmp/xerrs.log . It is somewhat recommended to check the xerrs.log , but e17 puts in a bunch of info there, so easy to scroll over it . Me I am using US keyboard, since that stupid layout is even less stupid than the german DE layout , so was not that much affected in MP529 .
Hi !
Used glxgears to check Framerates .
Macpup 5.5 (Precise ) gives me about 200 .
In Macpup 5.2.8 (Dpupexprimo also ) i got 2000 and more on my toshiba labtop .
Why Precise (Raring too ) only gives 10 time less framerates ?
How to accomplish higher framerates ( if possible ) ?
Is it possible to transfer drivers from those mentioned to Macpup 5.5 ?
How to ?
I have to admit that i dont have any videoproblems so far .

Usability feedback
Hi
Just tried MacPup550 on my HP550 laptop using a pristine manual frugal install.
Initial bootup and first impressions were all good, however I quickly stumbled across some usability issues which I thought I'd mention if I can be so bold:
- no usb device hot-plugging detection - wondering whether pup-volume-monitor could be included and integrated with the Enlightenment file manager??
- no (well very few anyway) meaningful icons displayed in Enlightenment file manager + a bit of confusion between Root and root
- some rather strange descriptors between each section of the menu items
- dragging a folder (e.g. /mnt/home) from Rox to the desktop so that it can be accessed easily produces a ? icon and associates the icon with the Enlightenment file manager
Cheers!

Hi Karl Godt !
Thanks for your answer .But your response is quite a bit enigmatic .
I am an absolute beginner .
What i did ....put " vblank_mode=0 glxgears " in terminal ... it gaves me a quite high glxgear frame rate ....
But where to place this "vblank_mode=0 glxgears " to make it persistent ?
How to ? If possible Step by step .
Thanks in advance .

Switch to the Jwm windowmanager then .- no usb device hot-plugging detection
Hot plug should work, put would not produce anything on the desktop .
Use pmount in the shelf for that .
e17 can be configured with its own hotplug support but that relies heavily on complete HAL and DBUS .
In my compiles it even did not show any hotplug events. Just the partitions that were known at e17 start showed on the desktop .
Not here . Have no clue about it anywayz . Must be a compile option for glxgears . Source is 11MB and i am throttled to analog speed for the rest of the month, could not even dl the official release yet due to connection interrupt after 700KB .backi wrote:How to ? If possible Step by step .

I had a problem with downloading the devx file, first attempt was a
32mb file so deleted that and tried again,next one seemed closer to
what I thought it should be but it wouldn't load with sfs-load
on-the-fly, I downloaded the devx for precise 5.5 and that one worked.
I found the kernel source sfs elsewhere and installed the proprietary
nvidia driver.
Firefox updated itself to the latest version.
I'm not too familiar with e17 but I am finding my way around without
much trouble, I will keep testing, lots left to try out
EDIT:I had a problem with puppy package manager, it seemed to be
working okay but it would stop after downloading a large file and not
get to the next file to download.
The htop screen showed a sleep2 message flashing on and off every so
often so maybe something to do with using an SDHC card?
I moved Macpup to the hard drive and no problems with ppm now.

Please consider hosting your files in a faster site. Besides why FileFactory having superb sites such as Dropbox, Box, MEGA, etc etc etc.... that do not limit downloads ? Or why not asking russoodle to host them ? Sorry I am being childish
Whether or not there are d/l or speed issues on your server, i'm more than happy to host MP550 as an alternative location if you like, just let me know..
cheers and congrats, matey!

In fact, the same error as the macpup529 at: Hungarian language can not be changed.
All previous versions Macpup, and many puplet worked is all very well.
The localization process worked for each one. These are not.
I'm sorry...
Code: Select all
chooselocale
Worked for me .

The menu could be transferred to the Hungarian language.Karl Godt: in console should pup the GUI to select Language.
Worked for me .
The problem was that as the Geany editor working, not a Hungarian characters keyboard. (íöőüűóúé)
It is NOT ENOUGH for the first keyboard settings!
Systematically everything should be changed!
Puppy setup-> Configure the mouse and keyboard->Advanced Xorg keyboard configuration... -> Layouts -> mark hu-Hungary (there was something in U.S.)
So now and then is fine, it works well, I hope to remain so...
Thanks for your help.
