(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

@ ttuuxxx:

- What version of the Xserver / X.org are you using for this wooflet ?
- could you upgrade ALSA to 1.0.21a ?
- How about adding Michalis' Transmission 1.75-small .PET and Galculator 1.3.4 ?

I removed the existing flash plugin and replaced it with the latest flash 10

There's nothing to upgrade. Puppy 4.3 already has the latest version of Flash 10

BUM!!!!!!!!! Just re-mastered 4.3 EXACTLY the way I want it and got to download yet another .iso as I really like Firefox. You work too fast Ttuuxxx

man ttuuxxx, your wife must hate computers. mine complains about me being on here too much and I know I don't spend a tenth of the time you do working on this stuff.

well, i look forward to tomorrows release. firefox is hugely popular, i don't know why puppy avoids switching to it.

The reason why I removed flash is due to the location, the default seamonkey mozilla folder is located in usr/lib/mozilla its a system wide location that works with Firefox 3.5.3 but I'm not using usr/lib to install Firefox, Lately I've been using /lib for everything and its just easier to keep everything bundled in one package, The Firefox package I'm using is the same one that 2.14X/2.20 uses, It comes with
Flash 10
Simple Mail
Flash Block
Xihna is here wysiwyg html
So when I install the package its basically just one folder, which has everything already included, plus everything auto-updates with the exclusion to flash, but Firefox/plugins do auto-update, its just a worry free way of making something right the first time
Yes The next release will have Transmission, I didn't notice at the time that it wasn't include, If I did I would of installed it, really the package is 100MB anyways, I don't see any reason why not to add a extra 200-300kb
Also might remove 4 calculators and just replace it with Galculator and keep Gmeasures.
There's only 2 things I'm waiting for the next update, intel drivers and working out why the ppd files aren't being generated by guten print/cups.
ttuuxxx

Ok I managed to get printing to work, the ppd files were being generated, but then they were being deleted before cups could copy them over to the cups ppd folder, So I disabled the line where it deletes them and now they all stay locally, 19MB worth, hmmm I'll see if I can add a line to cups to delete them in a different location.

Say, ttuuxxx, i'm downloading the retro version of 4.3 (kernel 2.6.21.7) right now for a former student's old laptop. Is your tweaked Firefox 3.5.3 available to download so i could install it? (Now DON'T go building an iso for me!!!!) IDK if she will care that much but i'd like to give her the option of using FF.

...or should i just follow DaveS' instructions using the standard 3.5.3 (or 3.5.2) release from Mozilla?

Hi Subito Piano, hmmm I did have a package, http://www.puppylinux.asia/tpp/ttuuxxx/ ... ysiwyg.pet
plus you'll have to install dbus and dbus-glib which I think dave has at his link.
it will autoupdate to 3.5.3 its a small update
ttuuxxx

Thanks, ttuxx, i nabbed all three -- should have it all together for her over the weekend.

You work too fast Ttuuxxx

We are Puppy
There is no 'too fast'

Hi Ttuuuxxx, do you mind posting packages for the gtk you put in this?
Thanks.

I totally changed the printing ui, I removed/splitup the code and made a new Gui, here's a pic of what it will look like in the next release.
ttuuxxx

Nice!

any testers?

plus here's a updated fixes package.
ttuuxxx

Hey Ttuuxxx. Its 7.00 am here, so will get to testing later today. BTW, Simple Mail is set to play a sound when new mail arrives, either default beep or custom .wav if it is specified, yet in Puppy, it does not. It is working in Ubuntu. Any ideas?

well I finally had a chance to try the printer fix I made up and it works, pretty cool, I made up the fixes/new GUI without even testing it with a printer, lol, well my wifes pc is the only one with a printer and she was busy on it with her school work. So I had 5 mins and downloaded the patches and printer fix and it worked no problem at all

I don't use mail clients, I just include them for others who do But I'll look into it.
