Re: Malicious PET`s On this Forum?

Has anyone been policing or testing the pets people post on this forum? I know im a noob so this might annoy more advanced users, but the whole point of puppy as I understand, is a gift from the gurus to the noob masses to free us from the tyranny of microsoft, I understand that and so appreciate a...

I would be careful about using the arcade version. Management at work has a strong reaction to anything that sounds like fun. :lol: . However if you rename arcade it should be just fine.

Re: Menu button

When you change the number of desktops, the "menu" button ceases to respond. To fix it, edit .jwmrc-tray and insert this: <TrayButton icon="/usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/start-button.png">root:3</TrayButton> In some cases, this line is there with root:0 Shall be replaced with root:...

We'll just wait and see what happens when 5 is released. All his issues should be addressed by then.

Maybe I am being too picky - the display issues only occur with a blank document and go away once you scroll down and back up. Somehow I doubt if you are being too picky. The way to find out is to leave it like that for the next release and see who objects. It's not a final release, so it won't mat...

V3 review. (Sorry it took so long, Work got in the way). Still wont shut off unless I use ACPI=FORCE in GRUB. (I didn't know if you were going to change that). Sound worked out of the box, but also worked with the update. Even though I have a frugal install with a save file, V3 occasionally tries to...

It's still doing everything but cutting the power. This may not be an overall solution but JamesC mentioned this earlier. Just add acpi=force to your kernel line in grub and your computer should poweroff with no issue. Now, That worked. :D Thanx Sinc and JamesC. (Sorry I did see it earlier :oops: ) K

The pet fixing the failed shutdown, well not so well. Back in 2007 or 8 I had that problem on an AOpen 915 with pupy400 and then when they made puppy431 and the problem was solved. so it seems very hardware specific. It solved my problem but ended up on your HW instead. Your computer is contagious....

Barry is not dead. I wish people would stop behaving as if he were.

Puppy will not die. There are too many here who will forge on. We may just have personal versions, but it will live on.

clarf In a way, splash2 is quite funny and amusing :) but, in the long run, repeated telling of the same joke (like at every CD boot-up) tends to superimpose a stale taste on the original joke :shock: :). So, in review of the above, and for the sake of avoiding devastating blasts from our local ama...

The pet fixing the installer worked wonders. :D The pet fixing the failed shutdown, well not so well. :oops: It's still doing everything but cutting the power. The splash screen on bootup from CD still reads 4.31. Nice speed there. You are releasing new versions as fast as I can test them. :) K

Re: Version update restoring official files

After started from live CD, I made some minor cosmetics on the desktop (Changed Icon set, background and set network connection). Then rebooted to create pupsave.2fs file. Boots well, including the lovely 'next boot will be faster' text. I see my changes, works fine. However, if I reboot again, a s...

I discovered that V1 wouldn't power off when I tried to shut down. (I had been rebooting before that). V2 has the same problem. Puppy shuts down, but just doesn't kill the power. When I saw it, I remembered that that was the reason I didn't go with 4.31 in the first place. ( :oops: Sorry, I'm a bit ...
