LOL, yeah, I'm having problems still puppymartin and your my rescue dog!:)

OK, see screenshot of new rescue puppy below.

OK, for some reason I can't delete the original puppy.jpg in the /usr/share/backgrounds folder!
I set the "default.png" as wallpaper and delete the puppy.jpg and it's still there at reboot!
Now, I "transformed" the puppy.jpg into "puppy.png" with MTpaint, then deleted "default.png" and renamed "puppy.png" to "default.png" and set it as wallpaper.

am I confusing you?
how do I set the wallpaper and have just 1 default.png?


ALSO, where/how can I add a XFPROT antivirus ICON to the desktop
lke a real, color icon??
oh, and how to change color of jwm bottom menu bar, etc?
thanks alot martin!

I'm not puppymartin But I can help

The save file, the original .sfs that the uses has the default image. It might alway just be there unless you open the .sfs file using another puppy and deleting it and replacin it with your image.

to get an icon on the desktop for XFPROT, or any application do a search for it. Probably in /usr/bin. Drag the item to the desktop and a link should be made. Now, right clik on the desktop file and there will be a set icon in the app"Whatever your program is">set icon. A window will open and you can go to wherever you have the icon, /usr/midi-icons or /usr/pixmaps is a good place to look, or add one. Dropping the image in the window will change it's icon.

I hope that helped.

Network Wizard

#18 Post by Hugh »

PuppyMartin,


PROBLEM SOLVED: It was my ethernet adapter. Replaced with new one and
up with 4.8 now!

Very, very nice!

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

Your browser puppy is just what I've been hoping to find! It is
truly a work of art!

I've downloaded and fired up your 4.7 version and it works great
for dialup web surfing. But, I've not been able to get the Network
Wizard to successfully work with my att dsl connection. It finds
ETH0 but cannot setup comms with any option.

I have no problem with the Network Wizard in Puppy 3.01 or 4.12R
so I'm wondering, therefore; would it be possible for me to modify
or replace the Network Wizard to the same as in 3.01?

I'll be downloading 4.8 next to try it out. Many thanks!

I replaced Glib:

Always Ttuuxxx with the things I need.

And new icons:

4.9 is very stable and Firefox 3.5 works great.
This is the last version for this year I hope.
(I mean, you don't have to change your qemu-version. Btw, 4.8 was very stable too)

I discovered a funny thing: Browserpuppy 4.8 on Youtube :o

Hi there

Thanks for this, it was just what I've been looking for :)

Just a few questions:

PMount, can that be automated so that it detects drives that are plugged in?

Also does the firewall always remain active once you have completed the 'wizard' the first time?

Thanks :)

1 Yes, got to Menu -> Puppy menu -> Desktop -> Desktop drive icons manager

And check:

v Tick box for drive icons on desktop
v Tick box for an icon for each partition

2 Yes, also active after a reboot.

Hi there again

Can anyone tell me how to make the 'MENU' tab and the items in that column larger ie the text and the icons, so it is easier to read?

Thank you in advance :)

BTW If anyone wants a recent version of WINE it can be found here:

http://puppylinux.ca/members/T/486_pet/ ... 4-i486.pet

Tested & working

Open /root/.jwm and scroll down to <MenuStyle>

Change the <Font> ... ??? ... </Font> to:

<Font>DejaVu Sans-14</Font>

Then restart JWM
(Menu -> Puppy menu -> Desktop -> JWM Configuration -> Restart JWM now)

Thank you again for the help, unfortunately I can't find the file you described.

[EDIT] I change the settings in the 'theme' file using Leafpad, that seems to work for me.

Here's a screenshot of the contents of the directory:

Ojee, I was wrong. I meant: /root/.jwm/jwmrc-theme :?

Thanks again :)

I've tried your OS build on an old laptop but could only get the display to work in XVesa mode ( onboard Intel gfx ), which is a shame as I would have used it to replace the current OS.

Works perfect on my desktop tho' :D

This is a fantastic puplet - my favorite! It has brought my old Dell Latitude L400 back to a meaningful existence.

One suggestion - old laptops like mine often have a dead BIOS battery that isn't worthy and/or capable of easy replacement. If you could add a program that accesses internet time and changes the system clock (e.g., NTPDATE-sync_clock), that would be a great help.

Thanks

Great Puplet, but is it possible to install OpenOffice 3.1? I put the .sfs file in /mnt/home and it loads it, but it only shows "OpenOffice Impress presentation" and "OpenOffice Draw vector editor" under the Graphic section in the menu and when I click on either of them, they never load. Also, in /usr/local/apps there is no OpenOffice, which I thought there should be? Thanks.

Edit: Is it possible to change the speed of the mouse as well? It's kinda fast. I don't see an option for it in Mouse/Keyboard Wizard. Thanks again.
