panel disappears

#46 Post by Boo2themoon »

Hi Brandon, Thanks for making this pup. It ticks most of the boxes for me and my requirements.

However I think there is a bug in the xfce panel manager.

My two panels disappeared and after restarting them with "xfce4-panel" Firefox would not start from either the panel or the menu.

Typing firefox into the console did nothing and when I tried to open the mozilla folder the computer froze.

After rebooting a couple of times everything is ok again.

Weird!

Thanks again for DCL.

Boo

Boo2themoon,
This isn't DCL related but XFCE.
I have the same in Happy Linux (XFCE besed) and with the XFCE 4.4.2 sfs.
Time savers:
Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu).

Hello Béèm,
Yes I also suspect xfce and have posted in the "Happy Linux" thread also.

Hello. I am new to DCL. Tested Puppy original before but did not Like JWM.
I want to change from Xubuntu on my fathers P3-1000/512 to something else.
Running Live CD now. Everything seems pretty okej, but for one thing ...
Some Menue-texts are awfully BIG, for example in GIMP but not i Firefox.
How can I make a screeshot?
A second thing, please help me change the cursor. I want it white and slightly bigger.

Bra jobbat :)

Edit:
In the menue the file manager is still called Rox-filer instead of Thunar

To take a Screenshot open GIMP, File, Acquire, Screenshot.
I haven't tried the cursors but http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=16622 thats the link. ROX is accually redirected to Thunar, part of Xfce and the menus thing might be fixed by going to set-up and then Set Global Font Size.
