i've read that it's possible to install and run "Gnome-Do" in xfce. does anyone know if it can be done in puppy? if so, can you list how? thanks. Gnome-Do is the last thing i need before i can leave ubuntu!

thanks!

i'm interested in adding a new icon theme to puppy. is it possible?

mycology,

you can edit xinitrc by bringing up the run command or in a terminal "mousepad /root/.xinitrc"

hope that helps.

thanks sirduncan. i came across your post in a search. i tried installing in the order you mentioned. i came up with a bunch of dependancy errors. ignoring those and continuing started a stream of error messages that wouldn't let use songbird until i cleared them all. i'm using wnop, which doesn't h...

i am running wnop with wobblies thanks to everyone on the wnop/compiz thread. i would like to install some type of music manager and i have read songbird seems to fit all my needs. is there anyone who has succesfully installed songbird on wnop?

i tried copying the flashplayer.so file into my plugins folder, the test window showed nothing. woof, where did you get the file flahplayer.xpt

the flashplayer download i got only had the installer and the flashplayer.so file.

thanks!

i've read that opera and flash 9 still is buggy, but i swear that i've done it once before after reading a post somewhere and then testing through http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewCon ... d=tn_15507

can anyone give me some instruction? thanks!

i don't know if this is of any help, but... ati.pet seems to work when i do a fresh install, run ati.pet, restart x(ctrl alt backspace/xwin), run SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz manager. everything comes up as it should with everything appearing normally. i then edit my /etc/.xinitrc to get autostart of comp...

thanks mu,

i've always heard and believed that linux was clearly a safer option, but your clear explanation is very comforting!

using ati.pet with the method mentioned by tombh, i've been able to get almost everything working together. my only issue now is that randomly some windows/menus will not appear. for instance, if i pull up the desktop menu i might see the first level of menus, but the second level only paints a blan...

i'm using wnop 3.01. xfce. does that help"?

that doesn't appear to work for my system icons. for example, the trash, and home folder.

thanks!

is there a way for me to remove my desktop icons to have a clear desktop?

ubuntu gave me a gconf-editor that i could use to dictate the size, timing, and various other attributes of my panel. is there something like that for puppy? is there file i can manually edit to make my panel completely hidden? right now, hide panel still shows a tiny part of the panel.

well, i had a fresh install of puppy on a usb drive. i added the devx and kernel-src files then installed the ati.pet. seemed to go fine. i then checked xorg.conf and found vesa and replaced it with fglrx and saved. reboot. nothing changed. resolution was still off when i came up. fglrx had been rep...

tombh, bear with me, these are dumb questions... the ati.pet file should be installed instead of the ati driver from amd? it should be installed at what was my step 3? also, you said that the ati.pet was updated, so i can get it from the original post where you first introduced your ati.pet? i'll se...

my biggest concern is someone getting a hold of personal information like banking or paying bills. is there anything more than the usual install of puppy and default settings on the firewall in puppy that should be aware of to further secure myself?

i understand that puppy linux is secure because it's run from a cd (non-writeable). that said, i have chosen to run a "liveusb" instead of "livecd". i also make use of the pup_save file. does that mean i am vulnerable to viruses and security issues because i'm using writeable med...

well caneri, tombh get's all the credit. as a matter of fact, i would have never figured out the "skip_checks" if not for your post. wobble on bruthas.

sooo freakin awesome! actually, i just had to make a slight edit: your suggestion of: if [ $COMPIZFLAG = "yes" ]; then SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz-manager & sleep 1 fi wasn't working for me. i had to edit to: if [ $COMPIZFLAG = "yes" ]; then SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz-manager & sl...
