Are we going to dark themes in anticipation of Puppy having to be put down?
I hate to say it, but in the conditions I work I can hardly see anything.
Maybe it's because I have an old monitor, but I immagine others have the same problem

We have several "light" themes..... But the MP-dark-revolution-01.pet is now in the macpup 528 folder on my macpup page. Enjoy !!

sorry is this has been asked before... i tried searching the forums but given the context and a similar named pupplet i haven't been able to find anything.

does macpup come with the illume desktop option? i just bought an old windows tablet and really want illume/illume-home on it.

@qkall
Haven't kept up with newer macpups, but illume option was in e17's many and various settings (buried a bit, it may have been a profile? option) - as long as the tablet has enough oomph to run mp, it may do to try anyway. Profiles are a bit tricky as I recall, so be prepared (backup, etc).

Macpup 525 and earlier (520 & 511) Have illume But I have never used or tested it. I removed it in 528 to save space.

hmm as i'm one of those weird 'need to have most recent version' guy... any way into adding it to 528 and/or getting it included in the future? i peep'd your site and it doesn't look like you have made a .sfs/.pet due to them not working well with puppy.... and this is kind of a killer feature for me

A lot of the illume stuff has been merged into e in the latest builds. I haven't released an update yet because some of the features don't work right at the moment.But that isn't unusual for the e team, they change stuff 5-6 times a day in the SVN. In a week or two and it will be fixed.

I can see several issues with running macpup on a tablet ,first I don't know if it will work with a touch screen. If it doesn't you wont be able to customize the setup for the tablet because macpup's desktop is pre configured.

I know that bodhi has had some success running on tablets. You may need to try that.

At the moment I am in theme mode. Duma did an re configuring of the old Elive Topaz theme. I have updated some of the components. Clock,Battery,Temp,CPU freq and added a boot splash screen. I will have it up later today or tomorrow.

Valid things to consider. Luckily its one of those tablet/laptops... so I'm not too worried about touch screen initially ad long as I can use it after some tweaking. I was looking at bodhI but when I went to their site... non of the links worked. Just didnt scream optimism do me

.

Either way thanks for speedy replies.

Try running mp525 on it just as a test to see if it works.

qkall · #352 Post by **qkall** » Thu 02 Feb 2012, 02:05

It'll be the first distro I try (its in the

mail)

The MP-Topaz-1.pet is now in the macpup 528 folder on my macpup page. Enjoy !!

To anybody who owns a tablet computer...

A user reported some success in using the pen in
a tablet computer in this thread.
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 819#598819

He was using Lucid Puppy and had the following

M1300 tablet computer. Pentium M, "1000 MHz"
512 Mb RAM

If anybody else can get a tablet computer to work
They should report in the forum.

awesome! thanks... i'm pretty sure my laptop is in the same family as that one (m275).

i truly think the puppy community is one of the most helpful linux community there is...

okay i tried it last night... and i couldn't get mac pup 525 to boot... kept getting a kernel panic error right after it says loading .sfs into ram. i made sure the download was okay and reburned the brand new disk a couple times with no luck...

i did try bohdi.... sorta hated it lol. they made too many (imho) customizations of illume(some were admittily pretty cool... like the application menu) ... and i had some quarks with getting firefox to work.... but touch screen worked out of box!

so more messing around today.

. i'm going to give 528 a whirl to see it'll boot.

I have uploaded a Firefox-10.pet and a Opera-11.62.pet to the macpup528 folder on my macpup page. Both work well with the newest Flash .I have had problems with FF 10.0.1 and .0.2 . We are testing a update for 528 now.

Got my (Australian) APC today. There is Macpup on the free DVD.
I hope anyone who tries it has better luck than I have with this type of thing,
my copy is on my desktop so I can copy it and give it to anyone who likes to try it.

Hey, that's cool....let's see a smile on your dial about that, runtt

runtt21 · #360 Post by **runtt21** » Tue 13 Mar 2012, 20:30

What is APC ? Do they have a web site?

BTW We are testing several updates for MP528 And we are planing on releasing an updated .ISO soon.
