  • Puppy 4.2 Deep Thought Development

      Development Thread - No Requests Please[ Goto page: 1, 2, 3, 4 ][ Advanced Topics » Puppy Projects ]

    Remember that the DeepThought-jwm-tray package contains a fresh globicons file (maybe too fresh Smile ). It does NOT include the info of original icons on desktop, only the links inside /root/my-applications/bin/. You can easily solve this by adding desktop icons from this directory rather than elsewhere. This is the source of the icon2desk function (left tray - 'add icon')

  • Pebble 1.0 BETA - simple bootsplash program

      Supports 2.14, 2.14R, 3.00, 3.01, and 4.00 - 4.12[ Goto page: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ][ Advanced Topics » Additional Software (PUPs, n' stuff) ]

    This time, I installed the pup412 with full hd. then installed the pebble1.0 for 4.12. But it also stoped at the image of "Booting Puppy Linux"!
    After some tests, I found that problem occured with "bootsplash stop" by adding test-code to rc.sysinit. The code "bootsplash stop" could not return.
    Why "bootsplash stop" could not return?

  • Installing in Puppy 4.11

      [ House Training » Users ( For the regulars ) ]

    I have Puppy Linux 4.11 and I do not able to install:

    1) amule and azureus
    2) any tar.gz or .deb

    I have tried with:
    1) command of pb-debianinstaller but amule and azureus doesn't come out anywhere and writing it in the terminal, it do not recognize the command
    2) installing pup get in or similar

    I have seen some pages of this forum, wasting days and I have not found anything about this. I think the problem of the the two ways that I have tried is that programs seems to be not able to check dependes

  • Does anyone here use ONLY Puppy?

      [ Goto page: 1, 2, 3, 4 ][ House Training » Users ( For the regulars ) ]

    I use puppy in an old pc (I bought it with Windows Me, as bad as Vista, it crashed dayly) to make it as NAS server and point of download (I use three different antivirus before to pass it to the other Windows machine).In the other three I have Vista Business on a laptop (obviusly downgraded to Xp SP 3) and a desktop with Xp SP 3 too. I am waiting for Windows 7 becuase I have learned that Windows could go with every IBM Compatible PC. For example, in the oldest computer I put into Xp (Me was not so good, 98 didn't exist drivers) and later i tried to put into Ubuntu/Xubuntu/Fluxbuntu and every times during the installation it broke down. Xp workes, slowly but worked. I think Linux is a good OS for who work with internet because is safer than Windows but it is not easy to learn. What Microsoft sell is not a perfect OS for a kind of machine BUT the better for a family of IBM compatible, and also sell standard. So who has SOHO could get Linux but Corporations or other big factories will ever buy Windows becuase they need a standard, they want something like a callcenter that solve the problem without waiting.

      [ House Training » Beginners Help ( Start Here) ]



    No, that is ok unless you upgrade Puppy later.
    The upgrade might replace the templates with newer files, so backup them regularly.
    Disadvantage:
    your manual entries are only visible in JWM not in other desktops.
    The .desktop files instead are a common format used by all modern desktops.

    And last, are the modules kernel specific? That is to say will they work with different versions of the kernel?

  • PUPMODE and Memory Question

      Just trying to figure things out[ House Training » Beginners Help ( Start Here) ]

    smbaugh'

    Like you; I have Grub installed in it's own partition. Really the neatest
    and quickest way to use it; as far as I'm concerned.
    I used the smallest possible partition (8mb) and I'm sure there's
    space for a few dozen more puppy menus in there.
    Your large partition is perfectly fine; and if ever really pressed
    for space you can use most of it for something else later.

    Have fun

  • Puppy derivative set up like Tiny Core linux

      Can it be done???[ Taking the Puppy out for a walk » Suggestions ]

    If it's along the same lines as Arch, only way smaller, it's a fantastic concept. But the amount of work it would require to make repositories with scripts to detect and download dependencies would be enormous! A complete re-start. I don't think that is Puppys intent. The whole "you-build-it" concept is the ultimate Linux endgame, but Puppy is filling a different void, and a lot of people are doing a lot of work keeping Puppy as solid as it is. The whole live cd loading into ram for "on-the-fly" computing is revolutionary. So few others do that, and so Puppy commands it's own hill. DSL was never an easy distro to use for me. I bought the book, spent hours reading it, fooling with the distro but finally gave up. It's niche is tiny, to me. It's NOT for the beginner or the glitter. I think Tiny core may be much of the same.

  • Text editors Geany, Beaver, LeafPad, CSSed, Gtk2edit,

      [ Advanced Topics » Additional Software (PUPs, n' stuff) ]

    Well I was helping out in 4.2 and compiled a few of the latest so I figured why not share them, for the ones who don't read the 4.2 updates.
    enjoy ttuuxxx

    CSSed is being a CSS editor, it's not limited to this language. cssed haved some support for HTML (with embbeded Javascript), XML, Javascript, Java, PHP, JSP, C, C++, Apache configuration files, .htaccess, Python, Perl, SQL, SH and other languages so it can serve quite well as multi-purpose editor.

  • Which web browser 2009? POLL

      [ Taking the Puppy out for a walk » Suggestions ]

    NEVER had a problem, nary a glitch with seamonkey. My only comlaint is that it looks dated: the old Netscape decal makes me cringe in memory of windows. What would happen if ttuuxxx wove some of those spells and effort into seamonkey? Might be a contender for other people. My vote is for the monkey even though I'm using Firepup right now. Embarassed
