Dear tuuxxx,
I downloaded the filezilla pet and installed it on top3. No, there were no missing libraries and it is working perfectly.
Thank you for doing this even when you were so tired.
Best regards,
crsrds.

Since it worked for crsrds, I added Filezilla to the mirror.

I recompiled and this time I gave it static wxgtk libs

It went from 5.9MB to 3.7MB compressed, nice savings

same link< I deleted the larger one.

Here's a chm file/document reader, compiled with static wxgtk libs
http://www.smokey01.com/ttuuxxx/2.14X/S ... 7-i386.pet
the nice thing about it, if your using chm files is that you can export it via the printer as pdf and then you can open it with evince and copy and paste the text into abiword and from there edit away

also here's a nice text /code editor with static wxgtk libs http://www.smokey01.com/ttuuxxx/2.14X/S ... e-i386.pet
The only thing it doesn't like is xml files named .conf strange that.

Replaced the previous version with this one on the mirror.

Also added the editors above.

Hello,
Still running rc-5, from the CD...tried a frugal...
"init is the parent of all processes..."
Crazy huh...
Every time...is it me????

72 hrs in:
Runs sweet, and fast, on the old P3 600
Probably the fasted Pup ever on the old dino...
I`m pushing the "@#$%" out of it, and its taking it...
Gimp, Wine, etc...
Firefox has run into some rendering errors...
Nothing terminal....

All in all, incredible...
2.14.....2.6.18.7 kernel....Really???
Amazing....

I believe I`ll try a full install...

puppyluvr

For your frugal; to avoid being notified of the ancestry of all processes, add to your kernel line

Code: Select all

root=/dev/ram0

This was used for earlier puppy series, was deprecated from puppy3, I believe.

Many thanks for your info !

It will make my metacity learning curve less steep.

One thing I haven't found out yet, though;
Right-clicking with mouse on the backdrop is sent by Rox to window manager (if option ticked, of course), but how do I get metacity to then call xfce (or any other panel's) menu?

Have found myself right-clicking on the desktop umpteen times, expecting a menu, but getting nothing (power of habit is strong ).

Cheers /
MHHP

Hi MHHP, I didn´t find a solution to call Xfce panel menu from metacity. But found binding keys related info that could be useful:

http://people.gnome.org/~bmsmith/gconf- ... acity.html

I also found that several errors are shown in /tmp/xerrs.log after metacity starts:

Code: Select all

Window manager warning: "(null)" found in configuration database is not a valid value for mouse button modifier
Window manager warning: Could not parse font description "(null)" from GConf key /apps/metacity/general/titlebar_font
Window manager warning: 0 stored in GConf key /desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/cursor_size is out of range 1 to 128

Seems like a default configuration flie must be created with valid keys for metacity. I´ll test a solution tomorrow an let you know.

Greetings,
clard

As reported by Keef in page 254, i also notice Fierefox is having memory problems in top3, which was never the case in RC5. I also notice that the webpages are taking longer to load. Has anyone had the same problem or is it my network that got slower?

Hello,
MinHundHettePerro , you are my hero...

Finally, at rc5, I am able to install this on my dinosaur...
Dropped my ram usage to 90mb, and no swap usage at all..7% CPU..

With Firefox running...!!!

Time to play..LOL
THX again MinHundHettePerro

Puppyluvr, that is impressive! Maybe it's time I tried Puppy Classic / Retro again.

Is Opera out as a pet or is there a good procedure for installing it directly to Puppy? I've managed to screw it up every time I've tried, but I'd also like to post it if there's a .pet available.

Thanks,
Sully

Just ask!! I am new on this!!

I like 2.14X but vesa its my only choice . And I like the xorg performance of dpup 484 . Can I use the dpup xorg on the 2.14X or change that only??

puppyluvr · #3826 Post by **puppyluvr** » Thu 02 Sep 2010, 21:06

Hello,
sullysat:
Although there are recent pets available for Opera, installing Opera is not the way to go...The Opera tarball is fully self contained...D/L it and unpack it to /mnt/home so its outside your save..Drop the "Opera" script onto your desktop, (the icon is in /share/icons in the Opera directory)..Thats it...

Much easier to run from /mnt/home than Firefox...
I keep all "big" stuff, ie FF, OO, Wine etc in /mnt/home.
That way your cache and profile are not in your save...

James C · #3827 Post by **James C** » Thu 02 Sep 2010, 21:29

Full install of 2.14x rc5.........Firefox 3.6.8 running here at the forum.....

sullysat · #3828 Post by **sullysat** » Thu 02 Sep 2010, 23:53

Thanks puppyluvr! I'll do it that way.

Well, I fixed all metacity´s errors in xerrs.log

, some metacity/gnome default configuration files are needed.

I attach the default files to configure metacity. These settings also adds new key shortcuts, that will enhance Windows refugee experience and extends Super (Win) key functionality with metacity. (Superswitcher must be disabled before)

Super (Win) key:

Code: Select all

Super+l: xlock
Super+d: Hide all normal windows and Shows Desktop
Super+r: Run command
Super+f: pfind
Super+e: thunar
Super+p: Control Panel
Super+t: terminal (rxvt)
Super+n: Netscape (firefox)
Super+Pause: Task process (lxtask)
Super+Tab: Switch focus between windows of an application without a popup window.
Super+(1-8): Change to desired Workspace Desktop
Super+(arrows): NAvigate between Desktops

Windows behavior:

Code: Select all

Alt-Tab: move focus between windows, using a popup window
ALT+Escape: used to move focus between panels and the desktop, without a popup window
Alt+F11: toggle fullscreen mode
Alt+F10: toggle window maximization
Alt+F9: minimize a window
Alt+F8: enter "resize mode" and begin resizing a window using the keyboard
Alt+F7: enter "move mode" and begin moving a window using the keyboard.
Alt+F4: Close Window

Minor change:

I also Modified Desktop Themes script to active sub-programs as background process, this let you choose different applications from the same Desktop Theme manager without locking it.

After this pet is installed you must restart X (sometimes need to be restarted twice

).

Any comment is welcome
