If you have both macpup and lucid on the same partition it may cause problems cause they are very much alike, the vmlinuz files are the same and the initrd.gz are almost the same.If you have to use lucid cd to make a save file and rename it macpupsave-whatever.2fs .
I don't think I'll need to do this. Instead of using the shutdown button and menu, I used ctrl+alt+backspace and then "reboot". Then the screen appeared asking me to save to file or cd.

I think it's now working.

Thanks for your quick response. I look forward to playing with MacPup some more and getting to know it better.

Looking through the Hungarian forum I saw how much they liked Opera 2 . So I am updating the Blue Paradise theme from O2. Should be ready in a few days.

I have also made a update for the install script in petget for macpup that handles the icon issue Iguleder was talking about . So that when you install modules and other things in e17 that have .desktop files the icons don't get changed by the install script. Download the petget-update.tar.gz . Unpack it and follow the instructions in the folder to install.
Hi runtt21

Where am I going wrong?I downloaded the petget-update.tar.gz but when I try to extract it,there is nothing to extract? :(

Hi Folks !

Sometime ago i downloaded Dvdstyler (a DVD authoring programm with menus)
which, after i downloaded libmagickcore too,
(because as far as i remember libmagickcore....something was missing)
was working well.

somehow i deleted DVDSTYLER .
Now ........(years..later....) tried to install again.... downloaded DVDSTYLER.pet.......... installed some libmagick.pet for LUCID 52...
OK...
Programm installed, but not able to burn to DVD.
(missing libcore (i think) 2).

tried to find this missing libmagickcore2 (tried Debian) no chance no burn.
It is missing this goddamn fucking libmagickcore.

Why it is not longer working as it did before?
Anybody any idea?

Sometimes LINUX makes me happy .........sometimes LINUX sucks....

I discovered enlightenment in pemasu's dpup exprimo.
Having some questions I was referred to Macpup based on it also.
I find the configurability very user-friendly.

1 - I use the tray vertically.
Above and below the icons in Systray there are blanks.
I tried to see if it was possible to remove that blank space, but didn't find it.
It seems also the more icons there, the more blank space.
Is this normal in enlightenment?
If not how can that blank space be reduced?

2 - I have two desktops displayed two on one row.
Quite often I overshoot with the mouse to the edge and I get the other desktop then. I configured to do no flip nor wrap, but I still have the issue.
Is there some other configuration parameter to consider?

Beem.

To disable that mouse cursor caused accidental window flipping:

1: Left Click the desktop
2: Select Settings Panel
3: Select Input
4: Select Edge Bindings
5: Delete everything under Edge Bindings

Hi runtt21 !

You want to know where i got the DVDSTYLER pet from.

I did following :
opened packetmanager

typed into searchbox dvdstyler
it did appear
clicked on it
also for depencies

formerly i also had to download libmagickcore too to get it working.
some missing libs.
(i think it was libmagickcore.so2 which was missing , as far as i remember)

Extra Modules !!!

#155 Post by night_mare007 »

Hi,
The following list is an EXTRA plugins that works great with my current macpup 525 ( 001 updated ). They are NOT include in the EXTRA-MODULES of macpup.
I tried and found only the following compatible my Macpup:
DeskShow - click it to show/hide desktop
ExecBuf - an alt+f2 command run screen ( or "run application" like ubuntu )
Winlist-NG - windows switcher like windows.
Tiling - arrage the windows as they open, or later...

You can download them from HERE - the file are all i386 compatible.
Download each one by the names I listed above, and just double click on them inside ROX, install, and enable their modules inside E17 settings screen.

NOTE: The rest of the files from this location WILL NOT WORK AS THEY SHOULD


runtt21
Can you please add those or recompile those modules for the next EXTRA-MODULES release PLEASE ?
I really wish that you would also include the SCALE-MODULE - as I understand it give e17 the ability to run EXPOSE feature like on MAC.
THANKS !

[UPDATE]
I removed "Engage" from the list as it's already comes with the EXTRA.pet modules runtt21 released.
