(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I uninstalled it on Puppy 5.1 and my icons are all gone and some menu entries are gone

I checked usr/share and there are two folders applications and applications-no menu

Is there any way to restore to default?

move all files in /usr/share/applications-nomenu to /usr/share/applications and restart jwm.

I have fixed the uninstall-issues for next release

Hi! zigbert is this similar to the rox panel? I should try this one

Zigbert,

I love this app! I note however that dude replaces Jwm settings. I had followed hairywill's instructions posted elsewhere for having a different wallpaper for each desktop. Is this possible with dude, or might it be included in the future? Just hoping

Grace & peace,

Chris

This is not exactly rox panel. DuDE is about much more than only trays and panels, but it does use rox only for wallpaper and filebrowser/MIME-settings.


Please try it, and take a look.

Where can I find those instructions?

Ziggy,

tried this uninstall method on my 5.1 full install and nothing changed with dude041, on checking menu files with text found they had the same exec instructions.

also found that the apps installed after "duding" had dissapeared.

something went wrong somewhere

will be reinstalling from scratch.

ps, any idea when the next version is due out?

Do you have /usr/share/applications-original. All original desktop files should be here. Also those which are installed while using DuDE.

nope, it didn't seem to have been created, or was lost when I uninstalled, even checked if it was hidden, no sign of it.

have rebuilt anyway as the system was a "little" bit of a mess.

system partition had been origonally a 3.01 then went though a path of >4.1, >4.3.1, >5.1; it is now a straight 5.1.

Hi zigbert,

I posted a problem here on the LupQ-511 thread that you need to be aware of.

I've also discovered on 1 Oct that Puppy Squeeze has the same problem with left click focus.

Cheers,

Crazy train......yeah, one of the highlights in the world of Ozzy.

I'm not sure if DuDe isn't supported in 5.2, but right now it doesn't seem to be working right. No matter what theme I choose I have a bright red boarder around all my windows and it's a red window on the bar.

However, if I can get it working right, I think it's great! Very nicely done.

So, I'm not sure what I did. I think it was installing a .deb file and everything refreshed and the red is gone. Now it's fantastic. This is very very nice now. Thanks.

Good news

Suggestion:
I think a screenshot or two somewhere at the beginning of this thread would help some people decide more easily whether they want to try out these apps.

You're right, but sometimes you have to take a risc
DuDE was developed as a project to extend JWM in Puppy Stardust and later Puppy 4.4. When later Puppies hasn't adopted the idea of an 'improved' workflow on the Puppy desktop, it is perhaps best to lay low. There is no need of using too many resources on a private project. To help Puppy the best I can, I should work on stuff to improve the official release.


Sigmund

I take it this is still the latest and greatest ziggy?

going to try it on a second copy of 525

any known problems or gotya's?

thanks

The biggest conflict is that DuDE does replace /usr/sbin/fixmenus with one heavily improved for JWM. It means you get trouble when going back to OpenBox and installs new programs. Maybe I update this someday, but to be honest, I do not understand the logic in having 2 default window managers. DuDE is built around JWM - ONLY.


Sigmund

thanks ziggy, not a problem for me,

I only use jwm at present and i've modified the menu system anyway to suit me by putting groups as I want them
