The distrib doesn't work ? You can't use it ?

No the distribution works. I just can't use the terminals because they give that bash error.

Maybe it's fixed in V2.

I also noticed that it's a bit sluggish compared to LXDE distros I've used before.
Maybe it's the new kernel? I don't know. Hopefully in newer updates that will be fixed as well, and it will be snappier.

Hmm.. I find it to be at least as fast as other LXDE distros that I have used before. I wonder what is causing the lag on your system. Just curious.

@Jejy69

I noticed that CUPS is broken in V2. I did not try to setup CUPS in V1 so I do not know if the same problem occurs on that version.

I am able to open localhost:631 with a browser. CUPS displays as expected. Clicking on the links or the tabs such as "administration" brings up an "500 Internal Server Error". Not sure what to do about that.

/root/.local/share/Trash/files is where the Delete command in the Menu of pcmanfm puts deleted files. Personally I would love to see a working Recycle Bin. The Trash item in the left hand side menu gives an Operation Not Supported message. What is needed is a way to look at the files in the trash can and Restore them if desired. This is just something I would like to see in general.

I found v2 to be more responsive then v1. That's a relief.

I still wonder if using jwm, openbox puppies for so long has made me really notice the speed difference.
I'm trying not to hold LXDE to that standard.

Downloaded twice, (once via browser, second via wget), both give md5 of:

Identical to the MD5 that I got as well......... seems to be working well though.

Upon a little checking....... the MD5 in the first post is correct for Checkmate v1...... the first uploaded version.... not Version 2.

Thanks for verifying James.

No doubt that Puppy is a speed burner. Especially with JWM window manager.

Never asked this before but, does anyone know how to switch from the double clicking to a single click interface.

I know what I'm clicking on, why must I double click?

Edit: Ok, I'm tired of this! I just got onto checkmate and my wifi is disconnecting again! Why is it that all LXDE distros disconnect me so much?
I've not had as much disconnects on other puppies or Desktops.

Can someone please help me get this resolved, I can't get much done when I keep getting disconnected like this.

Helloooo !
Sorry I'm late!

@ pemasu :Will reduce the ISO, thanks for the tips !
Yeah; SVG are needed here, but I'll remove large icons.

@ roadkill13 : ok, I will try to fix it.

@ playdayz : In V2, trash is working , the package needed is GVFS.

@ Gnuxo : I think we need to distinguish between "light" and "minimalist". LXDE can't be like JWM.

Thanks again James C for MD5, I forgot again...

I just noticed that Checkmate hasn't fully been translated.

I created a quick copy of the defaultconnect script for easy access to the network managers on the desktop and the right click menu for editing text files is in french.

I was also wondering if *stay connected to the internet* could be added to the distro.

Has anyone had success getting frisbee to work? I'm really frustrated that the connection keeps dropping.

Whenever I put my wep key into Frisbee, I get an error message saying *Set Hex Failed*

yeah, ok, this is not "fully" translated ...
Don't install frisbee or Pwireless, they do not work, and I have no idea what can cause this.
Are you alone? Or others have the same problem connecting?

I'm new to the forum so hi to everyone.

Nice job on this, I've tried a few different Puppies like Lupu, Mac, RacyNOP etc...and this is by far my favorite.

I've noticed a few issues like some of the right click context menus have 1 listing in french, pNethood and pFind use ROX instead of PCMan and the trashbin is full of stuff.

Other than that, this is a great little OS and I could see myself using this as my number one portable.

Oh welcome rg66, thank you, I'm glad it pleases!
I'll fix issues as soon as possible.

Summary:
-Empty Trash.
-Set-actions, in English.
-Set the default launch pcmanfm.
-Fix Cups.
-Reduce Iso size
-Wifi, Frisbee ???

Jejy69:

A belated welcome to Puppy ....mate.

Always great to see new devs releasing new goodies.

Chris.

Thanks cthisbear !

I also cannot type my WPA key into Frisbee - pristine frugal install with no changes from OOTB.....(in common with petit-pois)

I think you need to ask Jemimah what might be the cause - I seem to recall there was a similar issue with Saluki and Jemimah created a new version of Frisbee for that puppy - but can't find the thread discussion....

wifi connects OK through SNS

not tried netwiz

Thanks
peebee

Even though Wifi connects ok via SNS, it disconnects far too often.
On other puppies my wifi doesn't disconnect.

I'm thinking it could be an old version for Carl9170-1.fw, I'm going to try and drop the newest version 1.96 into /usr/lib and hopefully it will fix that.

If that doesn't fix it, then Carl9170-1.fw will have been the newest all along and I'll need to wait for a fix.
