Puppyiso: The method below should readjust your clock to match the time set by your bios.
Go to the Setup menu and click on Puppy Setup Wizard. Then see the pic attached below for easy instructions.
EDIT: This does not apply to versions released on June-04-11 and later, as the Country-Settings wizard has changed in the updated releases.

Puppyiso: I assume by Nendo, you are referring to the 3D modelling software by Izware. I downloaded it today and it didn't work for me either. After upgrading the xorgwizard to version 7.5, it managed to start in Wine. I have only tested it briefly. Hope it works for you.
Oligin10:
I have looked into the problem, with IceWM Configuration; apparently it works in Lucid Puppies but not Quirky or Wary. I have a hunch that it has something do with the GTK bug mentioned in the thread below:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=65675
Unfortunately, I cannot fix the problem
You can move the taskbar to the top by manually editing the 'preferences' file located in '/root/.icewm'.
Search for the line that starts with 'TaskBarAtTop' and change the 0 to a 1. The settings will take effect when you restart IceWM.

Thanks for the help Tman. I will do some more testing. I tried to do a full install, but I screwed something up. Really liking this, and I hope you will continue working on this. Thanks, Rob

Tman, I checked the bios. It doesn't match with Solidpup and even if I set the time in Solid, it just get mixed up at next boot.
I have no time set trouble with other puppies.
Nendo worked fine with snowpup. But I think that it was already installed in Windows.
Was the wine version problem? Other than these, Solid is good at adsl, Korean support and wings 3d linux version.
I just check my physical clock and give up using Nendo.
It's all settled now.
John.

EDIT: Colonel Panic, oligin10 ... Thank You. I will keep developing so long as I have the time.
Puppyiso: I have re-edited the set-time pic instructions. Please try it again and let me know. I need feedback on other systems because the time is accurate on both my test systems. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?mode=attach&id=41047
At the moment I am working on a new version that I want to release in a couple of weeks. Hopefully, I can solve the problem by then. I don't know why the time is fine on my test computers. I am wondering if it has anything to do with the time zone settings. I will do what I can; but please remember, I am still a newbie...just started using linux in Nov, 2010.
I believe your Nendo problem has to do with driver issues; Snowpup uses Xorg 7.5 which has newer. SolidPup uses version 7.3, which is more compatible with older model video cards.
Btw: Startmount doesn't work on this version; I forgot to copy over some files to the root directory during the remaster.

Hi all, A little bit of a problem with my screen graphics with this one.
My monitor is a Samsung 22" wide screen, and with boot up
from live cd and working thro' to probe I selected the res for this
screen size.
When all icons etc are on screen I find that the on screen window is outside
the monitor window frame.
I ran the xorg and pulled it back, I also note that a circle is egg shaped,
but the lot are now within the monitor window frame.
This problem is also with other puppy versions.
I have asked this question before but no takers with an answer !
Maybe a bit of luck this time.
Tui

Tman, I tried changing th time as you suggested. I checked both the BIOS and the SolidPup.
I didn't get the menu as you had. I went on to pup control and it never worked either.
See the pic
I have also found that the desktop icons are disappearing ad what I removed still show up after reboot.
Like a ghost pup.

New version: Solidpup511-a1 |
|
Tui: If your screen resolution is okay on Lucid-Pup-based derivatives and not okay on Wary-based pups, I am guessing that your problem is a driver issue.
Puppyiso: I am confused as to why you have a different box for country settings. I am afraid you might be out of luck for the time being with your clock settings. I will be working on a new Solidpup based on Lucid Puppy 5.2.5 which I expect to release in 2-3 weeks. Hopefully, that will work for you. In the meantime, I would like to introduce...
-- Solidpup 5.1.1 Standard Edition --
It contains bug fixes, new apps and updated apps. Seamonkey is replaced with Dillo ( add your own favorite browser ). I will also be releasing a fatter version that comes with firefox along with some more apps very soon. More details can be found on the 2nd post of this thread. To download, go to the 1st post.

Solidpup - Firefox Edition |
|
Solidpup - Firefox Edition is now availiable.
Basically I took the Standard Edition and added Firefox5, Deadbeef, LXAppearance, and SFS-Exec (runs sfs files WITHOUT a pupsave file).
The download link is on the first post of this thread. Now to start on the Lucid Puppy-based version: and after that; a long rest.
EDIT-June-04-11:
Puppyiso:
When I installed Shinobar's firstrun-1.8.2.pet, it installed a different countrywizard app and my box for country settings changed to match what yours was showing. Also my clock began to display the wrong time as well.
This is how I fixed it on my system, so when you have time, please try it on yours' for confirmation:
(1) Once you are in the "Country Settings" wizard, checkmark the box that says "UTC Hardware Clock" and click on the OK button. It will ask you to restart, but you don't need to in this first step. On my system, the time was changed here but it was still not the right time.
(2) Go to the Country Settings wizard again and UNCHECK the same box that you checkmarked earlier and click on OK. After this step, the time was correct on my computer. I now clicked on YES to restart and save the changes.
This process worked for me; I hope you get the same results. If it does work for you, then the time problem should be fixed in any version released on June-04-11 and later.

Updated versions now availiable |
|
For those who care, I have updated both versions of Solidpup. It might not be worth the update if you don't need to run SFS files without a pupsave file.
More info is in the 2nd post. http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=67633
I am wondering if people are losing interest in this pup, as I'm not receiving much feedback lately. Ah well.."to each his own"...I still like it.
My favourite pups at the moment are:
(1) Solidpup - It's my own and I'm proud of it
(2) Rexbang - Elegant looking, and nice Windows7-like features (transparency and Snap)
(3) Snowpuppy - Wide compatability, frequently updated (haven't tried Icepuppy yet)
(4) Lighthouse Pup - Multi-user support, custom SFS addons
(5) Macpup - For sheer good looks

Hi Tman, thanks for continuing to work on this. I am trying each version as you bring it out. Haven't been able to do much this week, working a ton right now. Thanks for all your hard work. Rob

I am on my way to some where in South East Asia. I don't expect to use my notebook.
I will check the time problem when I get back.
