I also compiled 4.9.17 kernel, Haven't tested it yet, been working on the other issues. Not enough hrs in the day, Next 2 weeks will be tough, my wife has to go to Australia, to see her mother, She only found her mother has Cancer a month ago and now it looks like her mother might have 1 week left. So the two weeks I'll be working 10hr days, making meals for the 2 kids etc, But I'll still have a few hours at nights and weekends.

Family first, ttuuxxx. For now, think of Puppy as an escape from unsolvable problems if and when you need it.

Convey our sympathy to your wife.

Hi Ttuuxxx and others,

Have tested latest ISO on my Emachines E625 only found one bug xcalc crashes xserver - which doesn't happen with my usual Tahr 6.05 install on said machine. Thanks for a nice release otherwise.

LoL Wow major bug, Never seen anything like that, lol I'll look at it, but really we have Galculator, probably needs recompiling, I'll look at right now.

As you know now everything works fine with your pupclockset.mo : thanks a lot.
Just now the problem with openbox margins that are not keep after restart x or wm, due to fbpanel config that erase this openbox config.
Thanks again for your great work with all your applications.

I'm sure that xcalc bug has cropped up before. I think it was just a particular version - I'll try and find the related posts.

Who needs an octopus for a mascot!!! Dogs are famous for their stretches!
The position of the Dog in yoga is even named after the way dogs stretch.

Ooooommmmmmm!

If I may, keef, I think it's because xcalc is not included in the woof-CE for DpupStretch...

Here you go! BFN.

Re: Xcalc - It's apparently part of x11-apps_7.7+6+b1_i386.deb (pulled for xorg_base_new) but that version crashes X.

Hi all,

Can I make a suggestion?

Is there anyway possible to make Radky's FbBox4.0- fbpanel + Openbox desktop environment the "Default" in woof-CE builds---at least for these dpup-stretch builds?

My Gawd, FbBox is beautiful, intuitive, and stable. No wonder Billtoo keeps mentioning it when he's posting his installs. Quite frankly, imho, FbBox blows JWM off the desktop--especially in terms of functionality. The easy-to-use popup menus for configuration of anything possible on the desktop are incredible. I sat and watched my wife this evening navigate her way through setting up (using a frugal install of my dpup with FbBox as the default) every little desktop thing she wanted with no problems. This was never possible with JWM....jwm stumbles on a lot of the small things.

I am seriously considering chucking JWM completely in the next ISO I am uploading of dpup-stretch-700-DELUXE this week. After 3 straight days of using fbBox-4.0. I am still astounded at it.

P.S. Thanks, Musher, for the xcalc!!

Hi belham2,

Thanks for your comments about FbBox. I'm pleased you find it useful.

Even so, please keep in mind the standard JWM desktop is a long-standing feature of Puppy and its selection as the default environment is based on flexibility and ease of use. The Woof-CE team is doing a great job.

For those who enjoy alternative desktops, there are many available and FbBox is only one option. Variety contributes greatly to Puppy's popularity.

I did a new build which is using the 4.10.6 kernel compiled with the woof-CE kernel kit.

System: Host: puppypc23877 Kernel: 4.10.6-4G i686 (32 bit) Desktop: JWM 2.3.6 Distro: Dpup Stretch 7.0.0a1

It has missing items in the tray but the info is displayed with
gkrellm.
I didn't have the devx loaded when installing applications so some of the applications show up as shared libraries, but Vlc works

I did a new woof-CE auto build including the 4.1.39 kernel compiled with the
kernel kit (reran ./3builddistro-Z from the last build)

System: Host: puppypc20516 Kernel: 4.1.39 i686 (32 bit) Desktop: JWM 2.3.6 Distro: Dpup Stretch 7.0.0a1

Works okay so far.

Having a few problems with openvpn-2.4.1
Debian Stretch has openssl 1.1 and openssl 1.0.2 in the repos and this Puppy seems to be set up with both, but with the 1.1 DEV package.
Openvpn refuses to compile against 1.1 but if I remove this and install only the 1.0.2 libraries (libcrypto and libssl) and headers (DEV .deb) then openvpn compiles.

However, I can not run openvpn because /dev/net/tun is missing, in fact there is no /dev/net directory so I wonder what the (networking?) problem is.
EDIT:- Looks like tun is a kernel module and modprobe tun loads it successfully and openvpn then works.

I have this openvpn-2.4.1 compiled and working in earlier Puppies Wheezy, Slacko 5.7 and Precise.
