1. Those instructions mismatch my TB version...

2. Found interesting info at:
TB->Edit->Account Settings.
a. 2nd account [is good]->address is at:
/root/.thunderbird/jwgteb8g.default/Mail/pop3.blueyonder.co-1.uk
1st accound aught to be using:
/root/.thunderbird/jwgteb8g.default/Mail/pop3.blueyonder.co.uk
...but isn't.

b. Here's what it's using:
/initrd/mnt/dev_save/Mail/jwgteb8g.default/Mail/pop3.blueyonder.co.uk [aught I to delete that?]
SO...
I've reset the address to:
/root/.thunderbird/jwgteb8g.default/Mail/pop3.blueyonder.co.uk
...And [after restart of TB] that has fixed it. :D

MUCH THANKS for your help ETP. :D :D :D

Psip
Already advised BK, but he's working so fast he may not have seen my email yet!
According to my notes, smokey and jb were involved, as you confirm, in developing it ~2008 but there's a reference to BK incorporating it 3yrs earlier. Probably still have an early Puppy version with it on? It is probably on some of those earlier milestone versions?
Well worth recycling. Still have an hard copy of the in/(de)structions for securing a Sip a/c and using PSip. If interested, could scan these in and forward if they have been dropped from smokey's website.

With Quirky live CD, and possibly also the disk image, when the first time wizard starts, If I decrease screen resolution and press OK, everything works fine except that all drive icons disappear under the bottom of the screen. Barry, can you make it so that an automatic drive icon refresh will takes place after any screen resolution change in the first time wizard?

Hi Barry,
it seems that "steam client" (to play games) and "skype" and other programs need "pulseaudio".
Don't know if you can add it, but it seems important to have.
Cheers.

Moving from Quirky Tahr 6.0.5 to Unicorn...

#927 Post by gcav »

Moving to Unicorn from 6.0.5 went without a hitch utilizing the PET's from

Only issue, reported before, was the reconfiguration of Seamonkey to use the previous config.

Note to Barry K:

Have you tried Puppy Units as a replacement for gmeasures?

Hi Barry,
can you please also release an iso , because a lot of people use iso. I think your 64-bit build will be a major release for puppy :) Happy new year and have a rest, you worked too much.

Wow, that's a lot of partition icons.

I've managed to get the drive-icons-by-wbar scheme from BoxPup going on Quirky Unicorn 6.21:

Hi BarryK,

Also included with unicornpup is a blue unicorn background.

As I like your icons I used mtpaint to make "my" unicorn yellow - as in the screen shot.

My regards

Inquiry to BarryK on frontend_funcs module of pup_event

#940 Post by Keisha »

@BarryK:

Whilst rummaging around in the pup_event scripts of Quirky Unicorn 6.21, I've discovered that, in /usr/local/pup_event/frontend_funcs there are two functions both identically named free_coord().

The inclusion of these two duplicately-named functions dates all the way back to Lucid Puppy 5.20, when free_coord() was a part of pup_event_frontend_d.

For the next version of my wbar+rox-desktop-drive-icons .pet, I would like to eliminate cruft as much as possible.

Which version of free_coord() is the good one, and which is the cruft?
