Hey Diamond,

Maybe I'm not understanding what your shortcut problem is. Could you explain in greater detail what you mean when you say the shortcut icons don't work? Do you mean you can't create them, or when you click on them they don't startup the application the shortcut points to? In either case, how are you creating the shortcut?

What were the other KDE4 puppy distros? The only one I know of is Tazoc's LighthousePup? I tested to see if making a shortcut on the desktop behaved the same way it did on this SFS, and it seemed to be the same. :\

I have installed the 5.28 version of Puppy Lucid on my netbook. I applied the KDE4 sfs to this frugal installation with very good result so far. I am able to start the computer and boot into KDE4 via KDM and I am able to use KDE's shutdown features. I did this by following the instructions provided in this thread. I also symlinked contents of Rox Startup folder to /root/.kde/Autostart

Here is a screen shot.

Desktop shortcut don't work. When I try to add new shortcut,I cant.. I just have some error. Desktop shortcut turned to some rubbish...
I created shortcut by dragging some app to desktop and clicking "shortcut here"
When I say "other distros" I mean for example Lighthouse pup 64 bit.
Thank you for your patience.

Wow, that looks really good roadkill13, how did you get the Chrome and PupControl shortcut icons on the desktop?

And symlinking the Startup folder, that is a brilliant idea, I'll add it to tips. Thank you Very Happy

@Diamond

That's great, thank you for answering all my questions, I'm not on my home computer right now, but when I get home, I'll try making shortcuts the way you described, I didn't know that's how you make shortcuts in KDE4, I thought you just drag them, like in the normal Puppy, and "link here".

Thanks for your patience Diamond Smile

A right click on any item in the KDE menu produces a popup menu. Sending a shortcut to the desktop is one of the three options. Another handy option is to send a shortcut to the panel. I chose the desktop for each of the pictured items.

Thanks roadkill13. Smile

I haven't been able to test it yet, but Diamond, you might want to give it a go?

Edit: It's weird, for me the icons appear behind the desktop folder instead of actually in the desktop folder. To get them actually clickable in the desktop folder I had to drag and copy menu icons to the desktop folder.

Actually that is the way of making shortcuts,for me that is the same "link here" or "shortcut here"

Hmm, well I found that linking folders worked fine, but like you said, applications didn't work. Looks like shortcuts to applications need to be dragged from the menu. Have you tried roadkill's method yet Diamond?

Edit: Well I've discovered something interesting, dragging items to the desktop, not the desktop folder actually creates shortcut icons that work. Hmm so deceptively simple... Shocked

Hello!! I tried to use the sfs but when i switch to kde i get this error:

/usr/bin/kde4-config: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkdecore.so.5: undefined symbol: qt_locale_initialized
kstartupconfig4: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkdecore.so.5: undefined symbol: qt_locale_initialized

Sounds strange, are you using Lupu 528 and did you have a previous version of Qt installed?

I don't have the instant update installed. I will try the instant update and see if I get the same error.

I couldn't get the error. I used the non multimedia update, which one were you using? Also, do you have any Qt programs installed?
