Just remembered the addon it's called Better Privacy.

Hi Flash, it's a hidden folder in root generated by flash player named .macromedia. If you haven't got one already just play a youtube video then have a look. You can delete the folder manually, create a script to delete the folder with one click i.e. rm -rf /root/.macromedia or there is a firefox a...

Hi again dave, it's a frugal install, no pup_save, nothing installed except my wireless driver. no settings changed on firefox just straight to the forum then ttuuxxx's site via your link followed by a couple of screen grabs with the excellent pupshots.

Hello again ttuuxxx & Dave, just accessed your site ttuuxxx via Dave's link & unless it's been tinkered with since your last message it worked perfectly for me using firefox in X11.

Glad to be of help dave.

ttuuxxx: If you are changing it can I make a comment. I have never liked any of the Gparted in any Puppy as they all make you go out of and then back into Gparted if you want to look at another drive. Whereas other distros make use of the selection box top right corner and allow you to drop down to...

Hi ttuuxxx, trying X11. Wireless connection fine. Gxine o.k. until trying Download.avi in /root/puppy-reference/video which crashes the system, so back to the newer gxine version I suppose. I notice xine libs is numbered 1.26 yet the website says 1.16 is the latest version, is this a numbering error...

Hi ttuuxxx, just tried my wireless router & was unable to get a WPA2 connection in either X10's. Iv'e had no probs. with previous versions. Reinstalled network-wizard(april-1st) & all was well again so perhaps something got corrupted during the build. Some minor stuff. gxine handles stuff we...

Hi ttuuxxx, tried 218xAlphav1.iso with a manuall install but couldn't load xorg or xvesa. Burnt to a cd with exact same result.
md5sum checked out o.k.
Noticed there was an earlier version but missed that.

Concerning flash on/off, theres a firefox addon called Toolbar Buttons. One of them lets you toggle flash on & off. This is one of my essential addons.

Hi ttuuxxx, just tried X8, I like to set rox Options-Display-Icon View to automatic so big folders show small icons, this is messed up making everything squashed up. (right click the + icon in usr/sbin toolbar to see effect) The rox 'panel' menu item has disappeared it just says obsolete so maybe th...

Hi keef, try this, go to /etc/X11/ & open as text xorg.conf. Scroll down to line 102 which might read:- Option "XkbLayout" "us" #xkeymap0 change "us" for "gb", save the file & restart X. If that doesn't work & you don't mind starting from scratch j...

Hi Dave, just noticed 214X7 doesn't come with a Startup folder so as I see it when you installed versioninfo it created an ordinary folder to place the executable in which of course won't do anything. Hope this helps. Did someone mention startup folder??? Here ya go :) its also in the next release ...

However I am still concerned that /root/Startup doesn't seem to work in 214X, especially as it includes cron-check. Not sure what uses /root/Statup or would try to investigate myself. Any ideas?? Thanks again. Dave Hi Dave, just noticed 214X7 doesn't come with a Startup folder so as I see it when y...

If you click the new button on File-Roller and then at the bottom select "Other Options" it can encrypt files with a password and also it can split files into parts, kind of handy :) haven't tried it yet :wink: ttuuxxx Hi ttuuxxx, out of interest I couldn't get the password option to work...

Hi ttuuxxx, just quickly tried file-roller. Opened tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2 & iso's no problem. As for pets if you convert them with pet2tgz first they extract fine. Pet2tgz can be placed with gtkhash & petget as a rox menu option.

ttuuxxx I just tried out 01micko's Versioninfo-1.6.pet and whilst it worked fine in Puppy 412 it doesn't in 214X. Specifically it will run by manual intervention ie from a terminal or by clicking the script but not automatically on boot or restarting the xserver. At the suggestion of 01micko I made...

a. how do i turn off the 2 barks after every reboot? Hi sinc, go to /usr/sbin & open as text delayedrun then comment out lines 38-45 to give you this:- #rc.modules should have detected sound, loaded module, written to /etc/modprobe.conf. #rc.local0 executes rc.alsa to start sound. now bark... #...

For editing initrd.gz here's what I've come up with. copy initrd.gz to any partition click & extract to give initrd create a new folder in /root named y open a terminal & type:- mount /mnt/hda?/initrd /root/y -o loop (where ? is your partition number) open y & edit what you want then typ...

Greetings everybody, I checked /initrd/sbin/init the initialization file when Puppy boots (actually Puppy first reads the simlink /initrd/linuxrc that points to init), searching a solution for the pup_save resize problem reported before. But in the way I found another feature that I miss in 2.14x, ...
