Hi musher0, I don't understand your issue with the xdg categories. The official categories are defined so that application developers have a standard choice of which one their app should go in so it will actually show up in the menus of different distros. There is no rule that says a desktop file mu...

some puppy developer is moonlighting elsewhere and could be a flight risk, maybe we should give him a raise or have him sign a NDA Ha ha, too late. IIRC it's Joe, aka bigbass. Having just switched to Mint, for work reasons, I really miss some of these Puppy utilities. I've already ported jcoder24's...

Hi everyone, Sorry for not getting back sooner, been offline for a few days. Did Barry said something about integration on future releases ? As far as I know, Barry is unaware of this thread. @01micko, peebee Sounds good. I'll be patient. Which tar.gz do I need to compile? and do I need all three? i...

Hi musher0 Nothing is wrong. Read on, please. First, are you using an ‘official’ Puppy with unmodified menus? Also, did you install these files? /usr/local/lib/X11/pixmaps/applications-other.png /usr/share/applications/AA-Strange-Program.desktop /usr/share/desktop-directories/Puppy-Other.directory C...

Hello musher0 Thanks for trying but I think you missed the point of the implementation demo. This is not a menu editor nor does it change anything in the base Puppy menus. It is only to show how the Puppy menus should be implemented. Conforming to the standard would allow easy use of alternate windo...

Mobeus

Hi musher0, I was hoping to hear from you here. First, pekwm is not one of the formatted menus supported (at this time), but please do offer any insight you may have on supporting that menu. It is not understood by me at this point as I have never used it. 1) Localization. The scripts mentioned in m...

Mobeus

Thanks for that Mick.

I was beginning to think I had committed a major faux pas with this thread. After no comments or feedback and my user account being deactivated somehow

I really didn’t know what to make of it.

Thank you to Flash for fixing the account

Hello All,

The proposal and implementation for the menu system is in it's own thread here

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 412#699412
.

Mobeus

Menu Implementation, Test Procedure and Notes The binary portion of the implementation was tested on Puppies lucid 5.2.8, slacko 5.5, and upup-precise so should work on a wide range of Puppies. Please test and provide feedback with as many Puppy editions as possible. Use a fresh 32 bit Puppy runnin...

To all Puppy system developers, this is a proposal for improving the Puppy menu. An implementation of this proposal is provided in the next post. Puppy as produced by woof is fully freedesktop.org menu standard compliant, with one major exception. That one exception is this: Puppy does not implemen...

this - for example you did it .

Yes I did, after you put the fix right under my nose

I did learn something though didn't I. And had some fun doing it too. Is that what they mean by “the Arch way

Mobeus

Just an idea.

Maybe add a custom kernel param just for troublesome video cards. Something like module=radeon, and write that to rc.cong.

An Ugly hack for sure and don't know if it would even work, but if no one has a better suggestion...

Mobeus

Hello from AlphaOS4!

MODULES="radeon" in /etc/rc.conf did the trick.

Slackbones (64 bit) comes with gslapt & slapt-get. You can also make SlackBuild packages & install with installpkg.

Mobeus

Mobeus

Hi simargl, Thanks, I’ll try that with /etc/rc.conf & let you know on your thread. I would suggest to add all needed supporting scripts from original Puppy to your package so it is like all-in-one and become more Linux general than Puppy specific project. :) Other Linux OS do not need this pack...

Progress:

Fluxbox support completed.

Time in seconds to generate the various menus:
All menus include icons.

Code: Select all

# ./gen_pup_xdg openbox
0.151
# ./gen_pup_xdg jwm
0.113
# ./gen_pup_xdg icewm
0.112
# ./gen_pup_xdg fbpanel
0.112
# ./gen_pup_xdg fluxbox
1.193

Mobeus

Hi simargl, I’ll address this in a somewhat reverse order... and forgive me for covering ground you already know, please. The purpose of fixmenus is to auto-update the menus for certain window managers after installing a pet and at boot. Maybe at the start of X too, not sure about that. You should n...

Mobeus

Progress:

Support for fbpanel is finished.

Working on Fluxbox support.

Mobeus

Paul,

Have you checked how your fluxbox was compiled for image support?
