I made a pet of wine1.2rc5 in Quirky 1.2 and used it in kdpup, works great.I downloaded the windows version of the apple safari browser and tried it out in wine, it's works well too!Things to do when you get bored

This is a really nice distro. It's packed with great programs. I added Citrix, Java, and x2go. This really works great! Thanks to the creator.

I can't get to see wbar. The file is there, and I followed the advice to change the file in var to show "true" instead of "false." It didn't work; maybe I changed the wrong command. Since I can't get the right click on the desktop to show applications, the wbar would be very valuable for me.

[dejan555]

If you change wbon file to true (don't forget to save it before close ) then it should run - try to launch it from terminal if it doesn't start from wbar gui

[davec51]

I had changed the wbon to "true" from "false" (and saved it). Going back, I noticed that the wbar files in root and elsewhere had a space preceding each item in the first (background) set. I took out the spaces, but that made no difference either. Any other suggestions?

[davec51]

Trying to launch from terminal I get:
using /root/.bar88
using a superbar
I did take out the spaces in /root/.wbar
I don't know what a superbar is.
Still languishing without wbar.

Trying to launch from terminal I get:
using /root/.wbar for config file
using a superbar
I did take out the spaces in /root/.wbar
I don't know what a superbar is.
Still languishing without wbar.

I will take a look later and make a pet or something, I think gposil had some patch related to wbar.

[dejan555]

And remember - you can also add another kde panel and add launchers to it
wbar totally works too, just need to check what prevents it from starting.
BTW, try to take full wbar command from /root/Startup/dpupstart script and run from terminal.
/root/.wbar is fine as it was, no need to change anything.

Hey people, what do you think, should I make a lighter version of kdpup?
I was thinking kde desktop only + konqueror, konsole and maybe few more apps, without additional printer drivers, games, media editing apps that probably noone uses, etc...

Which apps should I keep?
Maybe gimp and amarok / vlc?

Oh so slimmest one?
Well, if I just add kde on top of dpup it would be about 230 MB I think.
If I removed some apps from dpup I guess I could squeeze it into 200 - mini CD size but I doubt I would manage that - can't be bothered to remove stuff, only to add Still, kde + konqueror/konsole and ff would be some bare minimum.
GIMP and VLC are kinda must have apps too but I can try to make kde desktop only base iso.

[dejan555]

I just made an iso - it's 218 MB without firefox (well, since konqueror is also a browser, not just file manager it can serve at least to download different one if you don't like it
Other then firefox I think I haven't removed anything that was in dpup so it should be possible to trim it down to 200 MB.

I'm gonna upload iso when I get the chance - it's 220 MB with konqueror browser only - no extra apps and stuff but most applications from dpup are still there too.

BTW, anyone knows how to solve screen locking problem when running kde screensaver locker? Auth system fails, I've read about this on net - kcheckpass is not a problem since it's already running as root so it has all permissions it needs so I guess it's a problem in pam daemon/configuration I have no idea how to write one.
