Macpup 529
I tried to manually add the russian language using the wizard wizard for use with the *set xkbmap* command but it seems that the OS is incapable of changing languages no matter what I do.
This is worse the I thought.
Is this that error that was supposed to be fixed soon?
What do I do in the mean time?

Then you may want to test the new Precise 5.5 beta (you can update with a delta file and your precise-5.4.3.iso file) and report anything you wish to have fixed for the final release. I think 5.5 final could be a good base for the next Macpup.Gnuxo wrote:speaking of localizing.
I just switched to puppy precise 5.4.3 and it can´t switch my keyboard layout either.
Speaking of localizing, too -- runtt21, your derivative will require an individual langpack, as far as I know from testing Macpup 529. Many strings in some interfaces are unique to Macpup, translators will have to change those in the original langpacks and release separate packages as langpack_macpup_lang-COUNTRY.pet. This is not bad at all, the bad would be to have to start translating from scratch. It'll be of great help if you could tell us where to find existing E17 locales. In particular, the Hispanic community would be thrilled with a Macpup that can be set in Spanish -- the Hispanic love Linux and aesthetic interfaces.

" find existing E17 locales" , Actually the solution is to have e17 find puppys locales . That is why 529 doesn't localize very well. The issue with the keyboard is that e looks in different places from where puppy keeps the "rules" . /etc . When I compile e that needs to be adjusted. The e17 team has already done a ton of localizing work already. I just need to tell it where the settings are in puppy. My last two builds both had a ton of different keyboard options unlike 529 cause I told it where to look.
---Hi, I downloaded 529 and then saw that it wouldn't work on my non-PAE laptop (see signature). I tested in on my C2D desktop and liked it, but I want it for my old laptop.runtt21 wrote:529 is PAE. I haven't decided yet on doing both a pae and non pae version. If I do a non it won't be until after the main release. And that is a long way off .I haven't decided on the version of e I am going to use. I'm not real happy with 17.0 or 17.1 so I am about to drop back to an older snapshot to see if it works better with precise.
Some of the extra modules are hardware sensitive and won't work on everyone stuff. It getting to the point that Raster is talking about dumping them altogether. The newer builds of e will give a warning message when you load any of them now. I plan on dropping some of them for the next pup.
I could not tell on your Macpup website which ISO was the newest non-PAE version I could test. Could you tell me which is the newest stable release to use?

529 has efm
Does anyone know how to show the desktop icons? I've probably done it before, but I can't remember how.{"runtt21} "529 has EFM just enable the starter option in the settings anel. But it wont have a menu entry you will need to use the desktop icon for that.

EFM / desktop icons
I also lean towards a clean desktop (I love openbox and E17). I'm not, however, I'm not a fan of JWM or ROX. Macpup would fix my 1st problem, and runtt21's wording led me to believe I could run EFM and thereby solve my 2nd dilemma. Please offer any insight/recommendations you may have.Semme wrote:Mmmm.. MP ain't geared for that unless you're willing to build a panel.

Enlightenment file manager
To use EFM open rox, copy the home.desktop file from /root/my-applications into /root/Desktop. If the home icon doesn't show up right away on the desktop, change themes and then change back.

I usually download a handful of .pets manually. Can I use these?runtt21 wrote:MP529 is based on Precise Puppy 5.2.60.

Non-PAE MacPup 529
Like some others on here I have a laptop that needed a non-PAE version of MacPup. So I have created two non-PAE versions of MacPup 529 based on different kernels.
The first is based on kernel 3.2.32 which is the same kernel used in retroPrecise Puppy. You can download the iso from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/djk1052u6r9d0 ... 3.2.32.iso
As far as I can tell it works just like normal Macpup 529 except that it will run on a processor that does not support PAE. If it works for you then use this version.
However, for me, retroPrecise Puppy won't connect to the internet on the laptop that needed this (due to driver problems). So I also produced a version which used the kernel from Macpup 511 which is kernel 2.6.33.2. You can download this iso from here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/q9vp0gg37ln1u ... 6.33.2.iso
Again, this seems to work fine with the one change that the save file uses a hyphen (-) rather than an underscore (_). Try this if the other version doesn't work.
I'm a bit new to all this so I may have made a mistake in re-engineering these but hopefully they will be useful to people. They seem to run fine for me.
Cheers,
Rob
