LxPup-by-SFS (LXDE)

[peebee]

It seems like the language pack is not complete - or am I missing something?

With kind regards

JBJ

Hi there

You are the first user to ask about language support - and as I am a lazy Englishman it's not something I've investigated previously.....

I booted a fresh install and chose Danish in the initial quick setup screen and got the attached message.

The suggested language pack .pet is available here:
http://ftp.nluug.nl/ftp/pub/os/Linux/di ... 130415.pet

I haven't gone any further as I couldn't read anything if it was in Danish

The size of the _da pack compared with other languages suggests it may not be complete

I haven't knowingly deleted any language support in LxPup - and indeed PcManFM has Danish menus even with the above simple configuration - but conversely I haven't been too good at including the necessary in tools I've written.

Will be interested to know if the pet above helps.

Cheers
PeeBee

Hi peebee, sorry to say but it didn't work, the lang pack refused to install, see attached picture.

I hope you can figure this out:)

In 3 days I need a running systeme, since I going to teach the local here how to use the internet for searching and how to keep your pc free of virus:)

They don't speak english, only danish, and also they have never seen linux so I need something as close to Windows as possible:)

Thats why I chose LXPup, I'm running Wary on the other pc, with Icewm so that it at least look a bit like XP.

On that the danish lang pack work fine and were installed from PPM.

Also please take a look here, for some strange reason I'm unable to post in that thread, so I can't invite Måns to join us here - maybe you can:

EDIT: I got it working now, I found some working Lang pack in the above thread - still most of the menu is still shown in english. I can edit the submenu myself by right clicking on an entry and open its properties - then change the name. But I can't edit the main menu entries, or I should say I don't know how to:)

Here are the links to the pet files, so others can use them.

Install in this order:

Moderator, I'm not allowed to attach files larger than 256kb - is that a mistake?

Glad you got it working.....

The failed pets from nluug.org are a known browser download problem - they need to be downloaded with pwsget in the internet menu rather than use a browser - sorry for the wrong steer

There is a 256kb limit on all forum attachments

Have a look at:
/etc/xdg/menus/lxde-applications.menu

you may have to edit the corresponding files in /usr/share/desktop-directories

Hi peebee, desktop as it looks now:) With danish Firefox 30

Edit: this is running on a PII 400Mhz, 320Mb Ram, 40GB Hdd, DVD-RW, Riva TNT M64 Video Card, USB 2.0 Addon card.

Its a bit slow sometimes, but is to be expected on this old HW.

How can I make an ISO or SFS(or other) from this so that someone else can get use of it?

Hi again, I tried to edit the menu, which broke it - lucky that I allways make a backup and could just rename it back from .bak to menu. then restart X with CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE.

Here is my translation so far, but I will leave as it is now, and let someone with better knowledge do the translation:)

Open /usr/share/desktop-directories using the Rox file manager

Edit each of the Mate-Puppy- desktop files to add a line for Danish
Name[da]=XXXX

e.g. for Mate-Puppy-Fun.directory

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Fun
Name[fr]=Jeux
Name[da]=XXXX
Icon=games24.png
Icon=applications-simulation
Type=Directory

How can I make an ISO or SFS(or other) from this so that someone else can get use of it?

The first thing to try would be the Puppy Remaster live-cd in the Setup menu - although I've never tried this myself.....

or you could make a pet of the files that you have edited.....

Hope that helps a little

Hello peebee,
Thank you for your packages and for the quality of your work.
For my own use, I have slightly modified the interface of lx_icon_switcher and added gettext.
Cordialement,

Hi ASRI

I have included your improved gettexted GUI - many thanks - into the next versions of LxPup - I did however have to make 2 small changes - less important = the window title; more important = wrong exit code tested for on exit

The amended version is attached with false .gz

Hi PeeBee,

Tried your LxPup pet for Blue_V6 (based on Quirky Tahr).
I noticed following problems on first glance:

- hotkeys "windows" and "menu" do not toggle between panels and desktop.
- hot sides left and right do not work
- desktop background in Chromium full screen (panels) different from background in LXDE
- LxPup has 2 desktops, where Blue only seems to have one ?
- Conky does not work

Maybe this is a bridge to far. ETP seems to have achieved a good integration between Chromium and JWM, that is not necessarily possible with LXDE.

The pets to add LxPup14.10 to Quirky-Unicorn can be downloaded from:

lxpup_quirky_unicorn-14.10.pet

lxpupsetup_quirky_unicorn-14.10.pet

They should be installed in the above order.

If you want to revert to JWM/Rox then use the PPM to uninstall the lxpupsetup pet.

Cheers
peebee

p.s. tested on the "live" install of Quirky-Unicorn
