Hi musher0 Yes please! I am still reading about bash, grep, awk, loops... LOL Here I go anyway :-) I don't like these categories, but they are kind of official categories, I suppose. I like the categories of Puppy better, but I am a complete Puppy addict. :P You do not use Name and Icon. It is very ...

Hello musher0

Thank you for the code.
I will try it out.
I may be back with some remarks

I am on it as well... on a laptop from 2008 lol
It runs very 'light', which is what this old lappie needs.

I think it is the best Puppy around at the moment.
It does not have release status though.

No problem musher0. It's your Puppy.

I am looking forward to try it. Your Puppys are different. I like that.

You have an Optimus system. It needs something like bumblebee, but as far as I know, nobody has this working in Puppy. You can just use the intel graphic card. So specify the driver yourself in xorgwizard as intel. With a machine like that, you better use a more recent Puppy. If you like the traditi...

This is weird. I incorporated your template file, typed < fixmenus >, and the icewm menu has become worse... You should use the patched versions of icewm-xdgmenu here and not the original from rarsa. The cause is a change in the fixmenus script. You will see that 'menuheights' has been introduced. ...

Maybe a bash script will do the trick then, similar to the ones that I wrote for the wmx, pekwm and waimea WMs. okay, that would be a big chore to me :roll: or You do remember that fixmenus and the *wm-xdgmenu need a template in /etc/xdg/templates? and that the description of the menus and their ca...

I know icewm-menu-fdo and I am not impressed.
It produces a lot of overlap, a lot more than Puppy style does.
The (sub)menus are not well chosen, and I don't know if you can do something about that.

@foxpup: Interim report: the xdgmenus you provided are not working, even with the addition of the required libgnome-menus-2.0 library. So no menu for jwm or icewm, Puppy style. I've tried my *wm-xdgmenu on both fossapup and easypup. (easypup from Barry is another 64bit busterpup, it is very nice, o...

@foxpup: Good to know, foxpup. Downloaded rarsa's version. Thanks. Problem is the devx is "no good" for the time being... More on that later. I forgot to mention. in Makefile you may need to add a missing path for some header. The path depends on the filestructure used by the Puppy/main d...

but as i understand frugal system will consume more RAM than full Puppy is not big, so mostly it doesn't matter. Also Puppy will try to accomodate and not load (main) sfs if RAM is too small. However, if you have little RAM, you can add pfix=nocopy to the kernel/linux line. (edit the config of your...

Thank you for the good advice, dear pupplers (what is the word? like slackers). Here are the .pets I've compiled in slacko64 r8085 from Sailor Enceladus https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/19asZwJTYu2rVf8XB2Pc8gkdNk9puwemy?usp=sharing .dillo - fltk .icewm (start icewm2 preferably) .xfe 'suite' - ...

Hello musher0 I happened to need xdg_puppy as well. For icewm. I found it in the sources : https://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/sources/x/ Compile it with make and take the binary. The rest you do not need. Well, I did not need it. It depends on fixmenus whether you need the original from rarsa or ...

Sure about that? There are no versions that do not install?
Anyway, I now compile starting up without savefile.
If all went well, I install with the .pet in my startup with with savefile.

I have been compiling.
I have found that new2dir creates the directory to make a .pet,
but it installs on the system as well.
That is not nice. PPM does not know about it.

intel graphics (GM965/GL960) and modesetting Xorg driver. First the flickering. On my laptop: After quickpet update and with the pet, all combinations are good, except Hybrid and Vsync checked still has flickering. With "use-damage = false" this flickering disappears as well. :-) The black...

It looks like 01micko added some changes/fixes recently to slacko 14.2 in woof-CE so I tried a new slacko64 build. http://www.mediafire.com/folder/04k8b8812ccoh/x86_64 Hi Sailor I am using slacko64-6.9.9.10_r8085.It works really well. I monitor it with htop and it is very gentle on the limited reso...

I thought I might join in testing. Frugal install on a dell vostro 1510 laptop. I have the same as bigpup with flickering menu and taskbar items. It is back at every new startup. Do we need picom? I do not have the problem with the strange icons (missing?). Background for conky is black. Shouldnt it...

I would boot from usb and look from'outside' to the content to understand.
Look into the pupsave(s).

And if you look at the company we are in, wow, that's solid!! We should be proud, very proud. I don't know Arch, but Puppy is my personal absolute Number One and then Slackware. The list looks very reliable to me. Striking: the most 'popular' ones are not there. Strange. Why are they so popular then?
