Morning, all.
Just for reference, so that y'all know, the included YAD binary in /usr/bin appears to be broken in the ISO download. I've noticed that it won't display certain YAD icons correctly (comes up with the wee text-icon picture, with an 'X' on it, instead).
Running the version check from the terminal indicates that the sym-link from /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0 loaders.cache to /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders is broken. This is generated by YAD at boot time.
Accordingly, I've compiled & packaged a new version of the current yad-0.40, which appears to have fixed the issue. Anybody needs it, you can find the .pet package here:-

Re: taskbar/traybar bug in the icons
Tangential, but how do you get rid of the one that looks like a moving histogram? Is that charting the CPU usage? Anyway, I can find no way to close it, and I don't know what it's called.tenochslb wrote: A screencast showing the buggy behavior
A quick right click, on a tray icon, will usually close most of the icons.right click over the taskbar icons closes them, xenialpup, tahrpup
Normal operation.
Right click and hold right mouse button down on an icon.
That will make a menu pop up.
Still holding the right mouse button down.
Navigate the menu and release the right button, when the pointer is over a menu item you want to select.

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

That is xload.how do you get rid of the one that looks like a moving histogram? Is that charting the CPU usage? Anyway, I can find no way to close it, and I don't know what it's called.
It basically shows the system usage as stuff is running.
the number of processes that want to use the cpu.
However, it is not showing CPU usage, but overall system usage.
It is not a bad thing to watch for.
How much load you are putting on the overall system.
If you rally want to get ride of it.
It is an entry in the file that configures the tray.
/root/.jwmrc.tray
This is a hidden file.
Open in text editor.
Remove the entry for xload.
However, all the tray icons are there for some good reasons.
They all provide useful info and stuff you will find you need to know, as you use Puppy.

Hi Mike -I went looking at that and did not find "/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders " mentioned in the text file at all . Can you tell me where I will find that in there ..Line ?Mike Walsh wrote:Running the version check from the terminal indicates that the sym-link from /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0 loaders.cache to /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders is broken.

Keyboard configuration error - Quick fix
Just in case that someone had the same problem, here is a quick fix:koulaxizis wrote:Keyboard configuration error. I added a second layout, choose the variant, choose the toggle setting, works fine until I reboot the system. I have to set it up all over again each time.
- Add your language variants as normal - one more time!
- Check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file that your language options were added.
- Copy xorg.conf into /root/my-documents.
- Move keyboardlayoutfix from Startup/disabled to Startup.
- Edit keyboardlayoutfix and replace the command with:
Code: Select all
cp /root/my-documents/xorg.conf /etc/X11/ && exec /usr/local/apps/XkbConfigurationManager/XkbApplyNow
I have attached my own files (full folder structure) to help you understand it. On xorg.conf, lines 64-66 are my language options. Modify to suits your needs.
Cheers!

We've had the same problem for French for a long time. Our solution was
this little script sym-linked in /root/Startup. Adapt at will.

Xenialpup64 CE 7.5 / 25 Nov 2017
I installed xenialpup64-7.5 to the hard drive of my Acer Revo nettop pc:

During my testing of a javascript number-cruncher program, I found that
google-chrome browser executes 12 times slower than waterfox on xenialpup64 version 7.5. On fatdog 721 Chrome is only 30% slower. The Chrome
version is 09052018 generated by fatdog which is version 69.0.3497.81
So what is it about xenial64 7.5? Something missing that I can get via
the ppm? I don't have a clue Or maybe it's something about the kernel
(I use the default kernel). I haven't tried changing the kernel (yet).

I loaded Xenialpup64 onto a USB thumb drive, and live booted into a new Acer Chromebook R11 (CYAN, Intel Braswell).
The boot went fine, but keyboard, touchpad, and touchscreen were non-functional.
After some searching I found these are elantech type (elan)
I did try the chromebook w/Xenialpup with a wireless mouse and the onboard florence virtual keyboard and everything I tried worked well so far.
I would really like to have this going permanently with puppy and functioning input devices.
In the mean time, I've loaded the Chromebook with GalliumOS 3.0 alpha -- built on Xubuntu, and all functions work. It is designed specifically for Chromebooks. Mine is the Intel Braswell flavor. But I'm spoiled by puppy for the last ten years -- never was happy with Ubuntu.
Just curious, since it seems to have the right drivers and modules can the kernel from from GalliumOS 3.0 be swapped into Xenialpup64, or is that just foolish wishful thinking?

I'm running Palemoon with xenialpup64, there used to be a site to compare browsers but apparently it shut down in March of this year.artsown wrote:During my testing of a javascript number-cruncher program, I found that

I found another site and ran the test, don't really know if the reasult is good or bad but I guess you could test your Google Chrome there.

EDIT:
I loaded the Google Chrome sfs by Mike Walsh and ran the test, it got a better score than Palemoon 28.01
