Hello all.

For those of you who like paneled file managers, here is xfe-1.41, along with the
needed lib. It's the latest version as of this writing. You'll download it from:
-- https://www.adrive.com/public/Tkj5Ek/xf ... ox1651.zip --.

Once you've downloaded the package, simply unzip it in a convenient place, and
install, first the FOX library pet, and second, the xfe-1.41 file manager itself.

I wrote a tiny blurb about xfe's very handy Trash Can "bird-brain protection" here.
That post also has a couple of screen captures of xfe.

The xfe pet has localizations and help files. To read the latter, press F1 in xfe.

Enjoy!

Hello again all.

FYI: the gparted-0.14 in this Pooch shows a bug trying to read existing ext4 partitions on a
____ Verbatim "Store and Go" 16 Gb's USB sticks.

Hello all.

On the compaq 6715b dubbed "hp Invent", and more generally laptops with
the ATI Azalia sound card, the sound will work if you place this little file
in /etc/init.rd. This tiny script uses the principle that dejan555 taught us earlier
to activate the mouse | mousepad.

To find out if your laptop has an Azalia sound card, open a terminal, type:

Code: Select all

lspci | grep Azalia

and press < Enter >.
If NO LINE is printed in the terminal window with the word "Azalia" towards the
end, you DON'T have an Azalia sound card. So you don't need this.

However, you may wish to consult this site. If you have a laptop and run
a Linux distro, this is a great site to find specs and matching modules.

Hello all.

Alpha 2 is underway. Incredible, isn't?

Thanks to ninaholic and a little script by 01micko, I was able to bump the
kernel version of our beloved "Pooch" up a few notches.

Stay tuned!

BTW, ninaholic has provided us with a nice and lightweight Puppy called "slim-6".
Unfortunately it's not getting the attention it deserves because the original thread
for it was lost during the hacking of the forium earlier this year. Ninaholic still has
it available, though, through here.

You should try ninaholic's "slim" Pup out!

It really is slim!

Hello all.

If you've been following forum member radky's "career" on this board, you know that
he's produced some very useful utilities for Puppy, mostly menu- and system-related.

He's come up with updates to his utilities in the past couple of months, so I've
decided to add them to "The Pooch". I've bundled seven of them in a zip file that
you can get from here: https://www.adrive.com/public/aSBcrr/ra ... lities.zip.
The contents:

Code: Select all

---------                     -------
   546351                     8 files

Unzip somewhere safe and then click on the pet files one by one to install.
You should have no problem installing them.

Enjoy!

Hi Musher0,

have made some digging works and...

charlie6 came up with an interesting link on this pupjibaro-Wheezy thread.
That was over a year ago, and this particular libc seems to have disappeared from the mepis repos. I can't find it.

this might be the following link:

HTH at this point

still appreciating your enthousiasm !

Many thanks, charlie6.

You say "HTH". Well, it may -- or may not... Josejp2424 published his pupjibaro-jessie-beta
on Easter Sunday, and it has a glib of 2.19.

Call me pragmatic, but I'm tempted to continue this "Pooch" work using his "jibaro"
as a base and to save myself some headaches by doing so. His "jibaro-jessie"
already has a more recent kernel and C library, which is what I was looking for.

I'd incorporate to it all the "discoveries" I made for the Pooch, of course.

What do you (or others) think? Would you call that "desertion" on my part?

BFN.

yes ! musher0, c'est une sage decision.
Benchmark all puppies which are similar to what you aim to do is clever process. Ideas and solutions can emerge. Then you do your own Puppy, the quintessence.
Musher0 advise when you can go and look your Puppy. I will not more use 'test', only 'taste'. Courage,

Waiting for yr Jessie, my dpup sqeeze remains a must, and on my old laptop Acer, it's the boss. Beside three Best of (saluki 023, thin Slacko 5.3.3 and a french one Toutou 4.3.6, mainly to answer questions posted in french forum)

How did I not see this!! Are your changes going to get back into Woof-CE?

Hi, slavvo67.

Never!

Not through me, anyway.
As the saying goes: "Revenge is soothing to the heart of the Indian."

I mean: they are adult programmers. You shouldn't have to cradle them in your
arms and spoon-feed them. They can come here (on this thread), and download
and incorporate to their project anything they like or need -- like any Puppyist.

I don't see why I should be saving them some time when they are wasting mine
by not editing their "woof-es" properly before publication.

"Another" case-in-point:
in "ex-factory Woof-CE pujibaro-jessie-6.4.0", published Easter Sunday, i.e. last
Sunday, pfind doesn't work. Who has to find the bug? Me. Who has to find a
replacement application if he can't fix the bug? Me.

This "ex-factory Woof-CE pujibaro-jessie-6.4.0" also has other bugs OOTB.

I am reporting them here, in the "Puppy Community" forum, not in the
"Puppy Priests" git-hub forum.

BFN.

Quik Question

Are your PET package applicable to the "pujibaro-6.4.0"? If so, you might want to announce it on the thread.

Thanks for all that you have done thus far in your pursuit. Your experiences could/will be useful to you and others as you go forward, I'm sure.
