Thank you Barry and all other Puppy contributors for making a wonderful operating system. I have Precise 5.7.1 and I'm finding it to be fast and reliable. All of the little tools in the menu have proven to be quite useful. Google Chrome and Frisbee are working well (had to tweak audio buffer on Chro...

Now rox has the -U option to deal with that so here's the how-to: as root, make a new file /usr/local/bin/roxuri and copy the following into it: #!/bin/sh exec rox -U "$@" make the new file executable for all by using ROX or by issuing the command: chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/roxuri open Fir...

Blacklisting the pcspkr module (as suggested by HairyWill in the thread suggested by Shep) worked for me. One thing I have to add is that I could not find the pcspkr module in the Module Blacklist Manager after running rmmod pcspkr in the console. After rebooting, I was able to find it and add it to...

Success! There was no entry for guvcview in /root/.packages/woof-installed-packages . So, I deleted /usr/share/applications/guvcview.desktop , ran fixmenus , and the menu item vanished! Thank you watchdog and CatDude for your efforts. EDIT: Now some speculation... There was a Gnumeric.desktop file i...

Thanks for the reply, watchdog.

I removed the line containing Guvcview from ~/.icewm/menu, ~/.icewm/menu-previous, ~/.jwmrc, and ~/.jwmrc-previous.

Then, I restarted X Server. The line with Guvcview did not return to any of those files but the menu item remains.

Stumped again...

Hi all, I'm running Lucid puppy 5.28 (Lupu LIbre) with IceWM window manager. I have been using the Remove Builtin Packages utility to slim down puppy. Usually, when I remove a program that has a menu entry, the menu entry vanishes. I removed Guvcview Webcam Viewer and the menu entry stayed. I know t...

aye. both good points.

EDIT: thank you both for your suggestions. i tried the gmail manager add-on with on success. i'm giving up on seamonkey for now. firefox is the browser for me.

hey people. i've spent a bit of time trying to get this to work with no success yet, so i turn to you. firstly, i'm running puppy 4.3.1 frugal and seamonkey 2.0.3 and 1.1.18. if anyone has a solution that will work on either of these, let me know. i'd love to hear it. this has been my approach so fa...

installing this tool and running 'acpitool -s' allows my dell inspiron 5100 laptop to successfully suspend and wake up, even with mounted hd partitions and a mounted usb stick. i'm running puppy 4.3.1 full install. i dropped the command into a script on my dekstop so i can suspend with a single clic...

hello, i thought i'd explain how i am able to successfully suspend to ram and resume on my puppy 4.3.1 full install on my dell inspiron 5100 laptop. i tried several suspend scripts i found on the forum and none of them allowed my laptop to wake back up after suspend. this finally did the trick: i in...

don't retest the trailers on my account. it's not that important to me.

are you trying to do a frugal install of mint on an ntfs partition? sounds tricky..

thanks for the good wishes, nooby i'm surprised you were able to play the trailers on superos and linux mint out-of-the-box. am i correct in understanding that you did not change the user agent of the browser and were able to play trailers from apple.com/trailers using superos and mint? in my experi...

my quest is to get my puppy to do everything my windows can do and playing those trailers is one of those things. i'm probably a little ocd about it but hey ocd produces results lemme know if you want to try the workarounds and i'll break down the steps a little more for ya.

aha! neato.

sweet. glad you found a way. i never knew where the buffered videos live, so good to know. btw, credit for the user agent workaround doesn't go to me. it's all over the place being that it is the fix to a problem for all linux-using apple-trailer-viewing people out there. EDIT: apparently, some linu...

i think robarchangel is indeed talking about trailers from apple.com/trailers. i experienced the exact same behaviors from that site when i had gxine. now i have mplayer and i've figured out a way to play the trailers in both firefox and seamonkey. i'm running puppy 4.3.1 full install. here's what i...
