openbox start well but the menu had problems. Those windows appears and the applications don't start :
Invalid output from pipe-menu "openbox-menu /etc/xdg/menus/lxde-applications.menu"
Have you ideas please ?
Can you verify that lxde-applications.menu is in folder /etc/xdg/menus. Maybe try to remove /root/.cache it should force menu to recreate. And what is output "openbox-menu /etc/xdg/menus/lxde-applications.menu" in terminal
Cheers
Hello, Simargl

what exactly is the difference between versions 1.1.4 and 1.2, I would have seen this when downloading in ffmpeg.org yesterday. maybe you know?
if I'm not mistaken, I think mplayer2 must be recompiled as well?
Okay, I'll try to download this commit, to see if it can be directly applied in version 4.

I've tested some audio and video formats with new mplayer
.mp4
.ogg (works in deadbeef)
.ogv
.flv
.avi
.mov
.mpg
.swf
.wmv
.wma
Personally I couldn't care less for wmv and wma, what is your opinion. Maybe you have idea what is missing to make them work (some DLL file) , terminal output is bellow

Logout dialog in xfce did not work for reboot and shutdown, so I replaced that with my old logout script written in yad. To use this new version just reinstall package xfce4-session- clean packages cache first with: spkg -cc

New window manager packages:
pekwm-0.1.16-2.spkg
jwm-724-2.spkg
icewm-1.3.7-3.spkg
fluxbox-1.3.5-2.spkg
fbpanel-6.1-3.spkg
fluxbox and jwm are "fixed" to use sakura as the default terminal, /root/.start as for openbox is still usable for every other window manager, you can comment tint2 (add # before) and install fbpanel if you want panel with a menu.

Update: I have removed the HP and Epson drivers from the package. You can now install them with the usual PETs.
AlphaOS has CUPS 1.4.8, but the rest of the printing system is in the downloadable package
print_scan_alphaos-4.0.tar.gz from
here. Click the smaller Download button on the LEFT.
1. Download the package to a temporary location.
2. Click on the file to extract it.
3. Inside, you will find a folder containing the individual components and a script named
install.sh
4. Press F4 to open a terminal.
5. Run:
sh install.sh
6. Look in Menu > Applications > System Tools for Manage CUPS Printers and in Menu > Applications > Graphics for Peasyscan.
The system has built-in Gutenprint drivers and a basic set of SANE scanner backends. But you can also install many of the print/scan driver PETs from
here. Use the command
ppet - the Puppy Package Extraction Tool. For example:
You can also use ppet to install any of the PeasyApps listed
here.
If you install this package, please provide feedback.

I downloaded the lexmark_inkjet_legacy-1.0.1.pet and ppet extracted it cleanly. Maybe you got a bad download. It should be 10 MB but it looks like you only got 4 MB.
Unsupported format 'application/vnd.cups-banner'!
Which alphaOS version are you using? I checked this in version 3 and test pages printed OK.
However, since your driver download is corrupted, it's impossible to know what is going wrong.
[Edit] I checked printing in version 4 and everything looks OK.

It works !
(The version is AlphaOS 4.0)
yes the download was effectively corrupted. BUT after a right download and install, the print didn't work yet.
SO, to verify my parameters, I print thanks to the print board the network configuration and so..It works.
Don't know why it unlocked all
but.. voilà,
Thanks again you two rcrsn51 and Simargl

I wanted to report success on getting touchpad to work with the xorg.conf from Carolina!
But when I did mksquashfs on alpa_400.sfs it came out 6M bigger
I used xz compression.
Sim, do you use any special options to get better compression?
Still having problems with sakura terminal.
So I have to type the commands I want to run in a script file and then
rightclick and execute in spacefm.
Tried removing .conf/sakura folder - still no prompt
What is happening when I click on sakura the window shows but doesnt receive
keystrokes. Usually there is a prompt by the cursor. Mine shows only cursor that doesnt blink.
Obs! right click menu working in sakura
Can run commands at cli with X_AUTOLOGIN=no
Tried it on my old IBM T41, sakura works here with prompt
is there an alternate terminal for alphaos I can try.
I tried running /bin/bash but got no window.
Any input would be most welcome

I like the new icon, very informative!
I did a quick try(will put in more time testing later). Unpack xterm to correct folders.
Tried to run it via script, got nothing, no window!?
something is in conflict? something from profile?

Tested a bit more and got the following error from xterm
xterm: Error 32, errno 2: No such file or directory
Reason: get_pty: not enough ptys
googled and tried some different solution but couldnt get it to work?
Tried downloading MAKEDEV from Arch repo but I couldnt execute binary?
