I have uploaded lxpanel-0.5.8 for Fatdog64-521 in the Additional Software (Pets and Stuff) section of the forum, under Desktop.

I have tried audio-all-in-one-amd64-10.sfs in Fatdog64-521 and I can't seem to get qtrctrl to work with audacious.

I'm trying to use an application to change latency settings and qtrctrl allows you to do that but I can't get it to connect to audacious so I can play music using qtrctrl's lower latency settings.

Qtrctrl doesn't show audacious as an application I can connect to and audacious's plugin settings doesn't show jack as an output plugin so can someone PM me on how to get qtrctrl or jack and audacious to work?

Hey Kirk & Jamesbond,

I've been using Fatdog64 520 and loving it. I tried 521 to see if there were any differences.

My touchpad (tap to select) is not working, although I am able to use the touchpad to move the arrow. I've gone into 'Setup...Adjust Touch Pad' (flSynclient) and have confirmed that TouchPad Mod is 'On'. ANy ideas?

Am I missing anything significant by staying with 520? Thanks!

joe0855,

The 521 change log is here :

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/fatdog/web/latest.html

There's a link on the home page.

In 520 I forgot to disable tap-to-click, I fixed that in 521. If you want to enable tap-to-click, change MaxTapTime from 0 to 125 to start with, and adjust as needed from there. You can do that with Adjust Touch Pad, found under setup or can edit /usr/X11R7/lib64/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf.

Thanks Kirk, I'll check it out again. Could I use my existing save file from 520?

Hi Kirk and James Bond. Just a quick thank you! for this great release.

I just installed it, and planning to use it as main OS. I am glad that i'm back on puppy linux.

btw, can i use the pet packaging intro guide to compile own packages, as documented here: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=35507 Or are there different ways on 64bit?

because i have probs with the compiled Midnight commander, and i would like to compile sylpheed.

deniros,

Have a look at "How Can I make a new pet package" under the FAQs.

I'm wanting to add a proxy as the default in Firefox and I've actually done it but my method isn't quite "professional grade" so I'm hoping for some help.

My method was to do a "Remaster" with a custom prefs.js file including the proxy. This works but the resulting SFS is something like 30MB bigger than the original file, because of a one line addition??

I've found and SFS editor for 32 bit puppy, is there one that works for FatDog-64 (32-bit puppys do not seem to want to open the FD-64 SFS file)?

Other suggestions?

Great job on FatDog BTW! I run FD-64 24/7 on 3 different crunching computers and also use a FD-64 DVD all the time. LOVE it! Keep up the great work!

lakedude,

When you run mksquashfs are you specifying -comp xz? Like this:

Can't say for sure because I just use the ReMaster GUI Wizard. It works good except for the big file size.

Ok reading this now:

I should be able to figure it out from here.

The remaster GUI will run mksquashfs without the -comp xz, so that is the problem. Guess that's something for the to do list. You could just boot with your big remastered sfs and then do this:
