Hi jemimah, I have just tried fluppy05 and have discovered that my 3g wireless dongle will not connect. It works fine in fluppy04.

I did read somewhere that one of rerwin updates broke pupdial but I can't find the post. Have you made a patch to fix this in fluppy05?

It was woof related package which had problems. I think Fluppy is not woof builded. But here is the rerwins package to fix things. I saved it from wary thread, but I dont know if this has anything to do with your problem. Using pfix=ram is highly recommended.

Thanks for Fluppy005. I finally installed it on my Samsung NC10 (2GB RAM and 500 GB disk) and it works nicely. What seems to be broken, however, is qt4 (which is rather old - 4.3). I replaced it with a qt4.4 dev that I had on Puppy Jaunty (4.10), and it works fine.

With kind regards,
vovchik

PS. Now going to try VLC 1.1.4.

The vlc pet includes some Qt libs - since it wouldn't compile against the 4.3 version and Ttuuxxx's version that I downloaded didn't included the right libs for linking statically. If I have a bunch of time, I'll build the latest Qt and link it properly.

Yeah I think Fluppy has that fix. See if the woof patch fixes it and let me know either way.

No go. It wouldn't work after installing the patch.

It recognised the modem on ttyusb3 which is a bit odd as fluppy04 sees it on ttyusb0

Once I get Seamonkey loaded and tested is it OK to delete all traces ot Google Chrome or is it interwoven with other elements of Fluppy 005?

jemimah · #428 Post by **jemimah** » Mon 13 Sep 2010, 17:25

You can delete chrome. Just make sure to put something in /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser.

Hmm, maybe it would be helpful to run pmodemdiag on both systems and see what the difference is.

If you send me the output, I'll pass it on to rerwin if I can't figure it out.

In BootManager I see the vlc and seamonkey sfs files but zf005332.sfs does not appear on the list as one that I can set to be loaded at bootup.

Why would that be, please?

jemimah · #431 Post by **jemimah** » Mon 13 Sep 2010, 18:02

The zdrv does not appear in th boot manager because you can't choose not to load it. If you unload it, nothing would work.

edoc · #432 Post by **edoc** » Mon 13 Sep 2010, 18:25

Silly me, it was in both the /mnt/home/puppy005/ folder and in /mnt/home/ so I glanced at it and was thinking it was the Devx.

Sigh ... more coffee!

BTW: Is there a Devx for Fluppy 005 and if so am I likely to need it - or is that really only for developers?

jemimah · #433 Post by **jemimah** » Mon 13 Sep 2010, 18:29

There is a link to the Puppeee devx in the first post - you have to rename it to make it work with fluppy. You only need it if you plan on compiling things from source.

edoc · #434 Post by **edoc** » Mon 13 Sep 2010, 18:54

OK, thanks!

I have GRUB tweaked and Seamonkey and VLC available.

Since Google does not show up in Puppy Package Manager is the best way to search with pfind and then delete everything that shows up on that list?

Oh, and I changed "google-chrome" to "seamonkey" in /usr/local/bin/defaultbrowser using NicoEdit.

jemimah · #435 Post by **jemimah** » Mon 13 Sep 2010, 19:25

Chrome is entirely contained in /opt/google/chrome. You can just delete the whole directory.

Done! Thanks!

Love a simple way to purge the apps of a company that has gotten way too big for its boots.

BTW: I like the Trash app - good to enable recovery of an unintentionally deleted file.

QUESTION1: Is there a way to make clicking to open a folder a single-click as in other versions of Puppy rather than the MS-way (double-click)?

QUESTION2: Is there a way to select multiple results in pfind to delete or move? The usual ctrl-arrow and shift-arrow do not appear to function.

smokey01 · #437 Post by **smokey01** » Mon 13 Sep 2010, 21:28

jemimah, pmodemdiag from both fluppy4 and 5 attached.

clicking: http://puppeee.org/bb/topic/clicking-si ... oesnt-work

I don't know that answer to the pfind question - my guess is no - but Zigbert's Picker could do the job.

Anyone experiencing issues with Abiword? Some people on the Puppeee forum mention not being able to get keyboard focus without minimizing first or pressing tab or weird things like that. I can't reproduce it, so any insight would be appreciated.
