Fluppy 013

Message

After using Fluppy for the past 4 months I've finally
found the best method to boot Fluppy and use
the 'nouveau' graphics driver which is used by
nvidia cards.

Method: Put pfix=nox in menu.lst file
Then when you boot up you will get a prompt.
Type in 'xwin' and the boot process will proceed
easily. Apparently the computer
now knows the correct vertical refresh rate to use.

EDIT : Unfortunately it's not consistent, sometimes it works
and other times it doesn't work and I have to click on test button
and edit the xorg.conf file.
____________________________________

I haven't checked this method with booting from a CD
but it should work. Just choose the 'nox' option when booting.

How about cribbing from something like this:

Hyper linking will tame those ultra long URLs which stretch
the width of the forum pages.

Anyone looked at Barry's work on proxy-setup?

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic ... &start=270

What proxy changing utility is available for Fluppy 013, please?

If I understand correctly could I do as below, substituting "Midori" for "google-chrome" and plugging in the desired national proxy IP?

(Presuming that Barry's modified proxy-setup is not to be preferred, or is unavailable for Fluppy, or some other utility is preferred.)

Thanks!

write a little wrapper-script to start chrome. example:
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
export http_proxy="http://Proxy:80" #Fill in your data
export https_proxy="http://Proxy:80" #Fill in your data
google-chrome #or whatever the startcommand for your package is
exit
save this in your path e.g. in /usr/local/bin as start-chrome, make it executable. if you start it with start-chrome now, it should work.

Did it stretch the screen on yours?

I'm using Firefox, and it just wrapped the URL line on my screen.

Is there a simple and reliable method to upgrade Claws-mail to 3.7.9 or does it require manually over-writing all of the various files across multiple directories, please?

I did not find anything doing a search or checking the Puppeee Petstore.

Thanks!

Maybe Puppizard 004 by Iguleder, devx required, but allows installing/updating from source and I think GTK+ 2.10.x

Wow! What a great tool!

Thanks for the link.

Are any of these versions of Claws-mail 3.7.9 likely to work as-is with Fluppy 013, please?

Yes, I frequently browse with Puppy 3.01 (SeaMonkey) on this
older hardware and long urls can show up as very wide screens.

Certain forums have the ability to put the long url into a separate
scalable window while retaining normal width for thread discussion,
but our forum here doesn't.

I'll try Quirky with Firefox to see if it handles it differently.

Yes, Firefox in Quirky wraps it, so apparently it can be a browser
thing...

Here is the solution that I found to link Claws & Midori:

/root/Choices/URI

Copy "mailto" and name the copy "imailto"

I don't know why this is not done by default.

Thanks for the test. I'll keep that in mind when I see it wrap...

I wonder why Seamonkey wouldn't wrap it?... Perhaps the lack of spaces prevents it from "finding" a place to line-break...

Probably because so many elegant, simple solutions like that, get buried in threads like this and the devs never see it....?

A central repository of hints, tips, and tricks would be extremely valuable - IF properly labeled for the distro and for any dependencies - no assuming that the reader knows what's on your machine.

The devs could then look there for patterns of valued features - and perhaps methods to meet them.

The Puppeee PetStore is nice - but the challenge is to keep it current. Also, core apps e.g. Claws and Midori have updates but there is not a section in the Puppeee Petstore where those updates are available - and they have been tweaked to not damage setting and archives. (I know that Jemimah is busy with life for a while - it's not a criticism - I just thought the Petstore was a good example of a nice idea that needs more support - and an expanded mission).

Thanks doc

Great ideas, now in PLUG, ...

....hoping once the dust settles a bit, more people will come forward and help make this happen, we are trying to centralise, if only so people know where to look - a database looks on the cards

I just added a second E-mail to my Claws setup and although it looks OK and generates no errors it refuses to put any E-mails in the inbox.

The other account appears to be working fine.

I have created and sent E-mails addressed to the account and no other computers are removing those messages from the E-mail server.

I have also set the account to not remove them from the server and can get them using Seamonkey - so the problem is local to Claws.

Has anyone seen this problem?

I tried to load two accounts on a Net book and a laptop in Claws 3.7.8

One works fine but the other looks fine with no errors - but fails to acquire and place incoming mail in the Inbox.

Is it possible that this is a bug in 3.7.8 and I need to update to 3.7.9?

Has anyone done that update successfully, please?
