Hi mates !

@mavrothal, thanks for this report, I didn't know that 1gb was not enough.
Indeed, we can save space. I'm working on it as soon as possible. Smile

@natgab, Thanks you, I was a little afraid that my absence is a source of discontent. Smile

If you want, I released today KDE 4.10 sfs, but I don't know if it works correctly on Lxpup 13.

Hello Terry H,

Yep, Nepomuk doesn't work with Root account. So i removed some applications linked to this software, like this, KDE sfs is more light, but the pup-up is always here...
But Nepomuk is not important. Smile

I am trying to run it also on my Vye S18 mini with 1mb of ram but it is too slow for some reason. It has an AMD GeodeLX processor.
I can get the screen resoltion sorted via vesa from xorg but still remains slow.

I have downloaded Lxpup Slacko 13.01 to my old asus with 526mb ram, all is well. Responsive etc etc, even with youtube video!

Any ideas regarding the geodeLX or is it simply rubbish at handling anything? I have windows xp on it currently and it still cannot handle youtube videos correctly.

The USB called SANDISK (sdb1) is my USB with KDE installed. It works great, but I can't make Dolphin (the file manager) to show me the full USB. I have the folder Storage HD, and I cannot see that information.

How can I see it in KDE like I am able to see it in MATE? I tried going to /root and looking in /mnt, but the folder does not show up. I carry this back and forth from work and would like to be able to access my information if I have to use the USB to boot a broken PC.

SOLVED: Fixed the KDE problem. Now I can see what is on my USB and I was able to place the short cut in the Home folder widget (white arrow). Red arrow shows path of where it is located, for anybody who had the same problem.

LXpup – More Than Just Puppy Linux With LXDE

I'm not getting Flash video since yesterday. YouTube and Yahoo says Adobe plugin has crashed. Anybody else?

flash version: 11,2,202,273

EDIT - PROBLEM SOLVED:
I re-installed an older backup of my save file with KDE. This loaded and when I turned on Firefox it updated automatically to 18.01. Youtube loaded and worked. My other save file that was giving me problems had FF 17.01 and would not let me update through Puppy Package Manager.

I guess something was messed up in Puppy Pkg. Manager from some extra applications I updated.

--PeeBee, what does your update to LXpanel do? Does it make the computer shutdown automatically? Every time I turn off KDE, I get the prompt and need to type "shutoff / reboot".

I was a fan of LXPanelX that Jejy used for LxPup 12.12

so when LxPup 13.01 was released with LXPanel I decided to see if I could install LXPanelX.

The result is this pet:
lxpanelx4lxpup-1.pet

This is definitely offered with no warranty whatsoever - but I have been using it for a bit and it seems to work OK.

After installing it, do a Restart WM from the shutdown menu to get it going.

The pet includes as well as LxPanelX a top and bottom panel configured how I like them plus a button in the top panel to suspend my laptop.

[edit] Oh yes - it also contains a fix to rox so that Puppy progs that rely on rox actually use pcmanfm.

Hope somebody enjoys trying it out.
Cheers

Some files when displayed by pcmanfm have missing icons in LxPup 13.01 - see vmlinuz in the screenie - anybody know how to make a default icon display?

I installed Lxpup Precise 12.12 to my thumbdrive. However, the USB boot from the thumbdrive didn't give me the CD's start up options.

To restore those options to your USB thumbdrive (RAM drive), copy these files from the Lxpup CD to your USB stick:

boot.msg
help.msg
help2.msg
logo.16

Then, using leafpad, edit syslinux.cfg on your thumbdrive. You'll see it only has this line:

Just installed and playing with this. Very fast and I like it but some issues.

The issue of this post is menus.
Can I edit menus? If so how?
I'd like to delete an icon for a program that didn't install properly, even better I'd like to rearrange the whole menu layout. One of the things I've chafed at since I first used puppy a few years ago was I want my menu system to reflect how "I" think not how someone else wants it to be. I usually end up cluttering up my puppy desktop to avoid using the menus.

Thanks
