Ouch....

I searched on the internet, it seems that this is a bug in Chromium. But no solution has functioned ...

It's probably not relevant but it seemed to slow noticeably. This is my first try of your win-mgrs. I started with Xfce earlier tonight, then got the Lxde and prefer it. I'm going to install it on a neighbors old P4 (single core/256m ram) tomorrow.

See you around. The install icon is cool, and so is the Debian/Pup mixed logo. I hope maybe my little "tip" helped. Wink

Have been running Slacko 5327 and 5330 on my favorite netbook simply because it's compatibility with the hardware. On other machines I use Lubuntu a lot. When I got notice of this distro, I wanted to try it immediately.

Installed the Slacko version (and update) on a SD card.
Running in an Eeepc 1001HA (N270 atom), and it runs flawless and fast. Wireless connects immediately. Great.

One remark: there are 2 network icons in the tray.
- the standard grey one saying "Active interfaces: wlan0 ....."
- a pretty one saying "wlan0(Wireless ......" with a whole lot of detail about the connection.
but be assured, this is a good distro !! if the only negative remark is in such a small detail....

I am not sure what mail client you had in mind ? Are you using "simple mail" that is an add-on for firefox ?

Thanks for this piece of work. I sure hope this version will receive as much attention as the precise version.

Hello !

@ peebee, you are right, I have deleted important files, the best thing is to back. I just realize that FF crash too. Cool

Let's go to replace FF by Seamonkey.

@ dennis-slacko531 : Thanks for your observation, one more reason to return to seamonkey. Smile

@ Volhout : Thanks to use it Smile

.
I used lxnm applet too, because as you noticed, it gives many informations about networks. You can easily remove it by right click on it.

Hi Jejy69,

The point about the e-mail program is:

Typical Puppy distro's contain a e-mail program. Most cases it is the e-mail client in Seamonkey.

This distro does not have an e-mail client (could not find it) and it has firefox replacing seamonkey web browser. But firefox does not contain a e-mail program.

The question was:

Did you remove the e-mail program on purpose, assuming that people would install the addon in firefox ? Or did you forget to include an e-mail program ?

Actually, the firefox addon works great, so no need to change anything. Just wanted you to know.

Thanks for the distro

Volhout

P.S. read about returning to Seamonkey for other reasons.
P.P.S. Opera also has build in mail client.

Aaah Okay !

I forget this ! Embarassed

I confess that I do not use e-mail client, thank you highlighted this oversight.
For the next version, I will provide a mail client, and I am tempted by Opera, I love this browser.
Thanks, Opera is goof idea ! Smile

I only wanted to say Firefox 15 is still the default browser, not Seamonkey as your blog mentioned... Just checking in. Oh, and I can't find the WmChooser you mentioned. Thanks Jerome, you are quite a sensation IMO.

UPDATE...
Best I can tell, the 06-Sept-2012 savefile is getting read, even when it's not suppose to. I mean, I entered 0 (choose no savefile) -- I went thru this about 3 times...

I definitely got the right SourceForge iso & just dnld/burned another CD. This time I deleted all slackosave.4sf's and things are A-OK.

UPDATE...
Maybe a burned an older iso by accident (I guess). SOLVED!!

And the WmChooser.....

Just curious, did you get the correct download from http://sourceforge.net/projects/checkmatelxde/files/slacko_lxpup-12.09.12.iso/download ?

Hi Jerome,

Im new to puppy and found puppy hard due to the file browzer I am use to is PCmanFm. I have to work on 4 differnt machines so I need root access in FM. I was so pleased to see you had a working puppy that has PCmanFM!! Wow. Thanks so much.

now I ask for patience with some beginner questions:
1.
Now to learn how to put libre office in it. Then I can do 80% of my work (Im a teacher) I tried the pet package but it seems not to go in. IS a sfs better. I think from reading a pet is not all the packages where a sfs is the full package plus dependencies. Am I understanding correctly?
2.
There is a chess game in precise. But I could not find it in the puppy setup. I think this must be a limited selection of precise's software as there is so much in my mint install. Is there a reason for this? (please remember I am no programmer so ignorance may show) I saw someone suggest putting one in. There's plenty in debain. If you are interested I can list them once I get on my desktop.
3.
Just out of curosity has anyone thought of a educational version of puppy? That would include libre office, inkscape, gimp and teacher tools (there are many that work in wine). Im still not smart enough to do this myself but would love to help.
4
What would I need in the menu.lst to use grub4dos with this puppy?

just a configuration(?? using right word??) Your puppy even works on my wifes lenovo S205 that is a pain to get linux to run on. So has Manna. so three cheers for puppy!

Thanks again
Loyal Osterhoudt

Hi guys, just a quick note. Tested the latest LX Pup, and Chromium now installs and runs fine. Still the same problems with Audacious and Deadbeef. Here is the fix for them, which I found on the forum. Just install "http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet_packages-slacko/libavxxx-5250.pet" and that fixes the problem. Works fine now. Thanks Jejy69 for, IMHO, the best puppy out there! This is an amazing puppy! Thanks, Rob
