Using an older pentium III computer. MyWolfe does not want to shutdown completely when I invoke that command. I have to physically hold in the power button for 5 seconds. Other puppy's have shut down ok. I tried using poweroff from the command line and the same result occurred.

MyWolfe is a complete T2-8rc build but close to a 4.31 so many of the same fixes should work in MyWolfe

On my Pentium III I tried the acpi-off setting and it still reverted to Systme Halted instead of shutting down completely.

the Dosbox complains that there is not libGL.so.1. In the other puppy versions I used the LibSDL1.2-forDoom.pup that MU had in his repository. But I can't invoke this version for the new kernel and MyWolfe edition. Any conversion or compatible .pet available? Thanks.

Skype requires qt
so look for qt4-4.3.2.pet install that.
go to
http://www.puppylinux.ca/tpp/ttuuxxx/Libs ( user name: puppy password : linux )

look for libXss-1.0.0tar.gz download that an untar these copy the four files into

/my-applications/lib

restart X and start Skype from the Internet menu


I searched for Skype-2.0.0.72.pet installed that

I have not found the tools needed to open up the file LibSDL1.2-forDoom.pup so I am unable to be sure what is inside. I can make a lot of guesses but then you would be putting a lot on you system that is not needed. If you have a copy of an old utility called pup2pet and can send it to me I will try and put you a package together. for I can not find it.

Did some more looking around and my video card will not allow me to play it but yours mite here is a link to the files you need to get phboom working on MyWolfe

Please let me know how it goes

[ndujoe1]

here is the converted file for you examination. I hope that I did it right.

Which java .sfs is compatible with MyWolfe?

Be sure and get the sfs4 version and you will still have to make a link from the /usr/jave/jre1.6.0_17/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins then restart browser,

I had rename the sfs to just java.sfs to get MyWolfe to load the sfs.

Have fun

Good evening, GrumpyWolfe

Please find attached a little .desktop entry for your very useful control panel. Put the attached file in the top ("/") directory and it should unpack in /usr/share/applications. Your control panel will now have an entry in the "Setup" submenu. Although it is in the ROX panel, I thought it might be nice to have it also in the menu.

Maybe it's just me or my box, but I had a segmentation error in mywolfe's mtpaint: I could not load large pictures, mtpaint closed instantly. So I replaced it with BK's one for quirky at http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/quirky/pet_packages-quirky/mtpaint-3.31-patched-q1.pet. Barry's one works fine.

Also, for information, my latest wmx 7 pet package (the wmx window manager) works better in mywolfe than in dpup, in that it shows correctly the "x" in mywolfe when closing a program (in dpup it doesn't, which is confusing).

All in all, you did present a fine puplet: thank you and keep up the good work!

Sincerely,

[GrumpyWolfe]

Hi musher0

I did have a menu entry in the MyWolfe 6 but when I decided to try out the side bar I removed it to reduce reduce. I am trying to make a clean and clutter free distro for myself and anybody that likes it. Thank you for the complement on my puplet.

I am now working on ver 9 for while trying to get dos-box to work for someone I found that ver 8 does not have the full xserver in it and I am not sure how I did this for it only give me a versa driver and that does not let dos-box work for me so I will redo MyWolfe and then make a sfs of dos-box with some extra libs to make it work, for you see I have to keep my iso under 100 megs to host them where I am now.

Thanks for the suggestion but that didn't work either.
