this would have really been useful to refractahrpup, since it seems to outline what people do to puppify a debian distro.

i would much rather use this than woof-ce, though i suppose the result is more of a debian-deriv which is less puppy-like, at least compared to what woof produces.

???????????

Is this a test report or just an off-hand comment?

nosystemdthanks · #78 Post by **nosystemdthanks** » Tue 08 May 2018, 16:15

its actually a compliment that i would personally prefer this development path to woof-ce... (having tried similar on my own)

with acknowledgment to the suitability of woof for what it does.

i said that already, but since the wording was probably easy to take the wrong way, ive re-worded it. THAT SAID-- i may have misinterpreted what this is (it certainly looks like a starting point for a fairly puppy-like debian-based distro, please let me know if its not.)

pr in short:

"good idea?"

It is a debian live based distro that is puppy like. It is made to boot either with porteus boot or with debian live boot.

It is one step past the starting point. The starting point is this script,

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=111199

which can generate many different versions. This is a premade version with no applications for people who don't want to use the script. You probably more interested in the script.

It as its own website. https://debiandog.github.io/doglinux/

Is this really a Puppy Project?

No it's not.

If John Murga is unhappy with its presence, he can move it elsewhere or remove it completely.

But he hasn't.

Square brackets deleted in the quotation.

Okay, you are breaking the margins on purpose. Because one person posted something that you (but apparently not the moderator) thinks is off topic,
you are breaking the board intentional for everyone.

Grow up and please edit your message so it doesn't break the forum.

SPAM is prolific in the Puppy Projects thread. Unlike other spam in other walks of life that can be easily filtered, that SPAM cannot.

Rufwoof, please send me a PM with the URLs of posts with spam in them. You'll find the URL of a post in the small white rectangle to the left to the word "Posted" at the top of a post.

If you have a suggestion for a better place for this thread, feel free to include that as well. Thank you.

Never mind. Rufwoof's mini-vandalism didn't show in my computer so I thought it was fixed. Not until I clicked on "Quote" in his post did I see what he'd done. I've removed the offending link from his post and banned rufwoof.

Fixed. Thanks.

Changing your computer's hostname

At one time, this was a BFD in Puppy. It was deemed essential that the name change happened on-the-fly, which required multiple steps.

But it's actually quite simple:

1. Update the file /etc/hostname
2. Update /etc/hosts
3. Reboot.

Hi , first of all
@rcrsn51
Thank You for your good work

----------------------------------------------

Here is some solution for my needs , maybe somebody needs them too!

multilanguage keyboard support
===>
although you can set two input language with xkbmap and its settings , You have a quick way too!

1-Right click on taskbar(lxpanel) and select Add/Remove panel items
2- click on + Add button
3- select keyboard layout handler and click on add button
4- now on panel flag of US appeard!
5- right click on that and (keyboard layout handle setting)
6- unckeck keep system layouts
7- add layouts and even can change change option key...
That's all

Intel wifi driver
===>
if your computer wireless card's manufactured by intel , may be can't connect with PeasyWifi

Do - connect to internet with cable and in terminal
apt-get update
apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi
restart and everything Ok!

Or download
https://packages.debian.org/search?keyw ... re-iwlwifi
from another computer and install on Debian

@borzeh: Thanks for your support with this project and your solutions.

multilanguage keyboard support: I don't know much about multilanguage, but Fred does. (All my stuff is gettexted if anyone wants to start translating.

) And there are many features in lxpanel that I have never investigated.

Intel wifi driver: I thought about including all of firmware-iwlwifi in the ISO, but it's pretty big. For people who want to keep their setup small, check for errors in dmesg, then get just the firmware file that's missing.

There is information about firmware here. Many of those packages are already in the ISO.

Bill

Thanks a lot

----
Also i see screen snapshot tool, Snappie in the first page , but i need some smaller! but unique! , then make xscreenshot , and here for everybody may need that! Attached!

To use that you must:
1- Extract this file to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin
2- change line 342 of .config/openbox/rc.xml from

Code: Select all

<command>scrot</command>

to

Code: Select all

<command>xscreenshot</command>

after RestartX only need select part of screen!
Screenshots go to root exactly. if you need another folder to save images

change above code to

Code: Select all

<command>xscreenshot -p /root/screenshots/</command>

make shure create screenshots folder! , xscreenshot cant do that!
