Maybe you could try uninstalling the gnome-games pet, and instead try the lucid aisleriot pet here: http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet_packages-lucid/Aisleriot-2.30-Lucid.pet Other options could be trying some of the many chrome browser patience packages: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/cat...

At one extreme you can install PySolFC, which has over a 1000 solitaire variants, but needs python & tcl/tk installed, or try tiny seahaven.

And I think the KeepassX version is 0.4.3
Yes it is. It is the last version released. But if it works what is the problem with that? Are you aware of any deficiencies in the 0.4.3 version?

I'm quite happy with password gorilla.

hello thewrightman, not sure how you tried to install the arduino ide but, as it's java based, you can download either the 1.0.5 ide, (or the 1.5.7beta depending on which board you have) from here , extract it anywhere, and the ide should work... providing you have a working java installation. For a...

KeepassX might be worth a try if data is in kdb form, (but not kdbx). Can I open KeePass 2.x password databases with KeePassX?Top No, KeePassX does not support the KeePass 2.x (.kdbx) password database format currently. However, you can create an export in KeePass 1.x database format (.kdb) from Ke...

Hello BJF,

just download qcad-3.2.2-linux-x86_32.tar.gz, extract wherever you want, and it should work...(at least it does for me with lupu).

Creating a desktop file, (so it appears in the menu), or dragging onto the desktop & adding an icon, are relatively trivial to do.

cheers
