Thank you CatDude for all information

I did as you said. From the GUI setup tool, stopping and starting did remove that part of the code, and wbar now runs without an error. Some values were changed, but that is just fine. Also good to know of 'sleep 2' i was about to change that, but not anymore.

About the error message, should i edit out something? Like in line 4? One other question, for curiosity reasons. I noticed the script that starts wbar, has this code in the beginning: sleep 2 Can someone explain the purpose of this code? Why does the script need to stall for 2 seconds before launchi...

Good news! I fixed it. There is a bug that comes with this package. Whilst looking at .wbar.bak in ~/.wbarstuff/wbar-backup i noticed the font: t: /root/.wbarstuff/wbar.icons/TTF/DejaVuSans-Oblique.ttf/14 The default config in /root t: /usr/share/wbar/wbar.icons/Creampuff.ttf/ If you download the pa...

:D Hello, My guess would be that you D/L Wbar from another Distro, like Ubuntu, and Puppy doesnt have the correct font.. Launch if in a terminal by typing wbar and see any error messages.. Change the font specified in your /root/.wbar file to one your Puppy has.. hello, i got the package from the p...

Hello, On my first time using Wbar everything works good. Beneath the icons though, are tiny little dot(s). Is there not instead supposed be text describing the icon? I did read some documentation, and 't' in .wbar file is to display text, yet all are correct in description, and not tiny dot(s). Hel...

Well if you do, here is the latest version (23.3). Compiled in Lucid Puppy 5.2.5 http://sourceforge.net/projects/emacs233pet/ Overview GNU Emacs is an extensible, customizable, self-documenting real-time display editor (High Caliber text editor). Basically, it has all the tools a programmer/Hacker c...

I used this method, and works nice, but not guaranteed. It does save on certain situations. I think restarting X is one of them.

I would just like to let you know, that here in the USA, the word "pussy" is used highly inappropriately and offensively. Type "Pussy linux" in google" too see what i speak of.

Other than that the OS is good

@SimpleWater: I hope you noticed the PPM has a big ConfigurePackageManager button that you can press to open up the 'whole' ubuntu lucid -main,universe,and multiverse- repositories??? @sickgut: I'm glad pussylinux is out, it sounds great and I'm sure to check it out! Yeah, you know weird things hap...

Well, not that i keep log or anything, here goes: First boot, jwm failed to show the taskbar and right click menu - reboot Second boot, same thing as the first boot, but jwm appeared after a delay Full install on HD, as usual, ext3 format (Installed)First boot, X failed to start - Improper shutdown ...

I may have given the impression that i am of a newbie nature, well that may be, but really, searching for dependencies is a rather tedious task. And after the whole "new2dir make install", and before "dir2pet", i would have to manually find and remove every single file that was i...

probably the most unstable thing i ever tried

Cool concept though, and unique among other derivatives.

Hello falcon, type this in the console
I've never tried this myself, but the readme file has the HOWTO on using "spot", the restricted user

Works great, and fast!

Just one question though, is
--disk-cache-size=10000000 --media-cache-size=10000000

really needed? or is it part of the root user fix?

Hello SimpleWater, Your results seem to differ greatly from my own experience - having used this method for quite a while now on numerous frugal installs of the official lucid puppy and my own lucid based puplets i haven't encountered any of the problems you refer to, on any of them! As far as i am...

Not to be a downer or anything, but does this method not provide more work? Would it not be easier if you could do something like "pur build http://website.org/source.tgz"? Or what about a script that makes a build script?

Oh that is good news then, thanks for the replies guys. It looks there are many things being done about it. Iguleder's tool seems like the next best thing, so i will surely test it out and post back results. @Sickgut, really good going on your progress. The whole universal repository system, is soun...

I am not trying to start a flame war here, this is the suggestions board after all.

I was looking at other distros the other day, and it made me realize how low the puppy package management really is. Actually compared to other distros, the package management feels like a limping sloth, who has lived for 500 years. Either the software i'm looking for is not there, or the software i...

I do not recommend this. I tried this out and followed the directions carefully, and it kinda of broke puppy. While its a little buggy, restarting x crashes it, also the tray applets stop functioning properly. The worst part is, if you switch back to fbpanel, meaning you replace .xinitrc with your b...
