Updated 15.05.2 versions of LxPupTahr have been uploaded - see:

lx-pup.weebly.com

The 15.05.2 pae and nopae versions have the following changes:

- openbox-3.6.1
- tahrfix7 as of 6-aug-15
- smaller iso size (from bigger .sfs block size)

Everything else including kernel remains the same - (hence the minor version increase to 15.05.2)

Cheers

Kodi works great on this pc.


Added applications from Quickpet and PPM, also compiled cmus-2.7.1
music player if anyone wants it.

Cmus creates an entry in the Multimedia section of the puppy menu, the
number keys 1-7 bring up screens, 7 has available commands.
For example: you can add music on screen 3 by entering:
":add /mnt/home/music" no quotes in the bar at the bottom of the
screen, ":clear" will allow adding music from some other directory,
pressing RS will Shuffle the order the songs are played.

Hello Peebee ,
I have installed lxPupTahr - 14.10.1nopae since its release on my computer ( pentium4 3.20ghz 2gb ram) ... recently my computer freeze while I was using a program with wine and I stopped the machine with the button and when I restarted my lxpanel disappeared. I try to do an upgrade with LxPupTahr15.02nopae and it has not worked. I am in live cd . Is there a way to recover lxpanel ?
I hope to make myself understood because I use a translator, I apologize .

Thanks in advance

Hello Peebee,

My personal savefolder / file is Stored on sda1 and with puppylxtahr_14,10.sfs and other .sfs files

1) I backed up my files, my bookmarks, etc ...

2) I removed my lxtahrsave.2fs

3) I start afresh with LxPupTahr-10,10,1 and create a new savefolder and rebuild my system from there.

4) I just have to configure programs with my wine, I'm not too comfortable with that, but I'll get there.

The puppy is fine now
Thank you for your info.

For anybody who fancies trying the SpaceFM file manager....

SpaceFM-0.9.4.pet

tailored for LxPup

[peebee]

Flat-remix icon set has a number of alternative colours for folder icons....

The attached pet provides a shell script to choose a different colour and switch to it.

This will probably be integrated into the desktop appearance changer in the next release - so it doesn't have a menu item - run

lx-folder-options

either via the run command in the menu or in a terminal.

I burned the LxPupTahr-15.05.2-pae.iso to a multisession DVD+RW to use
on my macmini.
I used 2 sessions to do the setup, installed the kodi sfs in session 2
but it didn't show up in the menu after rebooting, I unloaded and
reloaded the sfs and it's back in the menu with all the settings from
session 2.

Takes a while to boot but it's working well.

EDIT: I added wine-1.17.50 and some other applications.
Suspend works okay but needed a good shaking to wake it up.
Overall this is running smooth as silk


Thanks

LxPupPreciseRetro is the flavour of LxPup suitable for older and/or slower computers, based on Precise Puppy 5.7.2

Download from here
The .iso is smaller due to better compression.

The previous release was LxPupPreciseRetro-15.02

I've updated it to the current "look and feel" of the other LxPup flavours (Slacko and Tahr flavours). So it now has flat-remix icons and W8PhoneColoursOB window borders.

Other changes are:

Opera is now the default web browser (Seamonkey is still available in the menu and can be set to the default using Setup -> Default Applications Chooser (neither have been updated).

The following components have also been updated:

bash_4.2-2
frisbee-1.3.4-20150426
getflash-1.5-6
gtkdialog3
openbox-3.6.1
openssl-1.0.1p
openssl-solibs-1.0.1p
pfilesearch-2.0
pfind-6.2
ppm_auto-2
PupControl-2.6
Pup-SysInfo-2.6
YASSM-2.7

LxPupTahr-15.05.2-pae.iso mirrored (though it downloaded from weebly plenty quick).

[peebee]

UPDATE
LxPup-15.06.4-s-pae.iso (the Slacko flavour) is available to download.

Changes are:

Firefox 38.3.0-esr
NetMon-WCE from 01micko (with LxPup icons) replaces network_tray

Kernel unchanged

If you use this new version with an existing savefolder/savefile you should:

1. uninstall via the package manager wifitray-0.4alpha-lx.pet if you have installed this option

2. apply the following "patch" in a terminal and then restart the window manager if you get error messages about network_tray.desktop on startup:
