Puppeee 4.3X

[aarf]

Pwidgets: I can access and configure it in the menu, but after I click on "apply" the widgets do not show up on the desktop.

JWM / flwm - I like Joe's Window Manager a lot. Is it really difficult to get the option back to configure it?

you have to do a start of pwidgets
i think it will be difficult to configure jwm

Dear Jemimah, thanks a lot for making puppeee.
It works very fine on my ASUS 701 4G but
at difference with Windows XP the screen is fixed
to 800x480 and cannot shift at 800x600 as XP can.
Many apps need 800x600 screen and they cannot be modified
on the config file.
May you give me your support in order to solve this little (?)
problem?
Thanks in advance.

For example a game PokerTH cannot fit to window using JWM; i will try using flwm

You should also check out the Xorg Scaling Wizard and the Xorg Panning Wizard on the Setup menu. Then you can change to a larger resolution for stubborn apps.

I tried the Rc7 of puppeee today on an AsusEEE 901

- Pwidgets do not show up in ROX
- request: I would like to 3 virtual desktops in JWM but since jwmconfig is gone, is there a workaround?

Good part:

The sound is MUCH better (louder) than in the original Pup 501 - with the original Pup it is near impossible to use skype but with puppeee it is

You can get jwmconfig from here.

Uau!! Many thanks to all for the fast reply; ok i will try both solutions flwm and Xorg .

Just tested on Asus eee 901:

lupusave.2fs (=2fs made with the original pup501) loads in puppeee after renaming it to eeesave.*fs. Puppeee automatically then converts it to an almost usable ' real' eeesave.

'almost' because wireless does not work anymore - I guess the two programs which make the wireless internet possible are in conflict then.

If this problem can be solved then a *fs which is made in puppy can be used in puppeee.

I would expect a lot of stuff not to work in this case. You might have better luck if you delete all your profiles out of the network wizard before copying the lupusave to puppeee. But I can't really recommend doing something like this.

Jemimah I am incredibly lazy but today decided to do frugal install of puppeee on my Acer D250 which has HDD but no CD/DVD I've dl the files and extracted them to a subdir puppeee and tried to find the right menu.lst to write the code in

Edit I have one menu.lst here

C:/jolicloud/disks/boot/grub/menu.lst

If I add the code in that one then it says that if fail to find the puppeee.

or should I find another menu.lst?

So I need to know what to write in the menu.lst


title puppeee
root (hd0,0)
kernel /puppeee/vmlinuz psubdir=puppeee
initrd /puppeee/initrd.gz
boot


Edit


Wow this was much more difficult than me thought it to be. Took me some 6 hours or more to figure out by trial and error.

Puppeee says me on sda3 and not sda1 So the menu.lst needed me to write

root (hd0,2) then it found the files and booted as expected..

Tested the FF4 sfs but if doesn't seem to have Flash?
Should I dl a flash sfs to get that going?

if it is like opera you can/must configure the path to your already existing libgcflashplayer.so or libflashplayer.so look in preferences in firefox to find where to do it.

Thanks, had no idea it was that complicated. In quirky it just works or some pet made it to just work. Then I rather stay in Chrome for a while until I get how one does such deep things.

Another thing.
which Wine pet am I to use in puppeee?

[aarf]

have downloaded java sfs from http://puppeee.com/files/sfs/java_jre1.6.sfs and configured the boot manager to load it, restarted and now want to configure either chrome or opera 10.60 to use the java sfs but cant see where to do it.

it is not that difficult ask or look in a firefox thread.
path from above is /opt/google/chrome/libgcflashplayer.so

aarf it was my fault. I had no idea how one deal with sfs files so I just clicked on it.

One need to place them in /mnt/home/ and then go to

Menu > system > boot handler and click on it there to be included at boot and then reboot and then it just works.

So now the Flash works. Have not tested youtube or BBC but most likely it works. Our local TV and Radio did work.

So now I am happy again.

What did not work for me was to get how one stop the constant activation of the HD. once a minute or so it do things. Even when I do nothing. that constant writing is very annoying.

has this

got wine?

aarf, jemimah all of you.

Thanks for puppeee rc7 I have frugal install dual booting with Win7 on my Acer D250 and all seems to work just fine.

Have not tested Wifi due to lack of hotspot.

I had to borrow a wine pet for Quirky to get Spotify going and I also installed Q 1.0 to compare with Puppeee.

Both works good.

Both seems to write to the HDD each 30 second.

What is that about?

[aarf]

have downloaded java sfs from http://puppeee.com/files/sfs/java_jre1.6.sfs and configured the boot manager to load it, restarted and now want to configure either chrome or opera 10.60 to use the java sfs but cant see where to do it.

with coolpups help now have java working in opera

Go to: Tools > Preferences > Advanced > Content
Tick Enable Plugins
Click Plug-in options

or

Menu>Settings > Preferences > Advanced > Content
Tick Enable Plugins
Click Plug-in options

To be able to see Tools, click Show Menu Bar

from there click "Change path" button add additional path
/opt/jre1.6.0_21/lib/i386/

[aarf]

the script that runs opera has a bunch of probable java paths - maybe it can be added there?

[nooby]

correction. got it working so deleting text
