Macpup 525 & Macpup 528 & 528v2
Macpup528
Hi
I'm new to Macpup. I haven't read all the way through the 25 pages on this thread so apologies if this query has already been answered. Installed the latest Macpup528 from your download mirror.
Firstly - wow it's fast. I had a vanilla install of Racy pup which was also quick but I guess running in memory really helps. My Acer Aspire laptop has twin Intel U4100 CPUs with 4 gigs memory so there's plenty of headroom.
I used Quickpet to download chrome browser which I have been using quite a lot - I love the sync feature so that I have essentially the same browser on all my desktops (about 10 or so if you count all the distros and derivatives and WinXP for my wife and compatibility sometimes!).
The sync feature in chrome just hangs - I can navigate to most pages I (only got "aw snap" for the chrome store) but no sync.
Any similar experiences or advice to offer?

Chromium Browser
I decided to try and use puppy package manager to see if I could find a later version. Only the same version of the Chromium Browser that I already had installed came up so I decided to activate the puppy-lucid-main repository (Warning: it takes a looong time to download and update).
I then searched again with that repository checked, and there were several versions of the Chromium browser to choose from.
I picked the most recent and after a slooow download from ibiblio.com I now have the latest Chromium browser installed, synced and working great.

Using Macpup 528 v2
I have a partition on my laptop that is ext4 (it has Mint 12 loaded on it).
The version of Pmount in Macpup doesn't recognize an ext4 partition.
I get a red box with an error message "unable to load load sda7" but when I exit to other distros there is no problem with the partition.
I believe there is a version of pmount out there that is ext4 friendly.
Any plans to use a version of pmount that will recognize and mount ext4 partitions?

Tried to built the core modules eina eet evas was ok but failed to build ecore and further .
Will stick with edje_[de]cc . I used to switch to b_a_w grill_light when i want to use the configuration panel to be able to read some lines .
Btw Macpup511 had no language modules installed . The lang .mo from Opera2 worked fine on Macpup5111 .
Frugal install of Macpup 528 v2 ......... no problems mounting and accessing ext4 savefiles.. FWIW.Barburo wrote:

I know that the Lighthouse Pup derivatives all recognize ext4 partitions so I assumed that it was pmount that did it.
So ... I copied the pmount exec from LHPup 503 (Tazoc's latest 32-bit LHPup which correctly identifies my /dev/sda7 partition as ext4), and executed it in Macpup528.
It ran perfectly but listed my ext4 partition as ext3!
So I'm wondering where and how does Macpup identify the partitions?
I looked in fstab (after booting into macpup 528) and all I see is:
I looked in LHpup /sbin and saw that Tazoc had another exec - pmount3 with a note that it was changed to recognize ext4 partitions. It ran properly on LHPup 503 but when I copied it to Macpup it only ran far enough to display the swap partition then it quit. I ran it in a terminal and it showed an error message .

which doesn't tell me much.none /proc proc defaults 0 0

I'm not up to any more investigating than that so I pass this ext4 puzzle onto someone who's more tech capable than I am.sh-4.1# /pmount3

Puppy does not write much into /etc/fstab automatically, except the default four lines cited above and only used by /etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown at last line busybox umount -ar
runtt21 : about grill_light : /usr/share/enlightenment/data/themes already has two "readable" .edj's :
default.edj and illume.edj , which both have a grill_dark background .

Wow the .062 build of e .That's Fox 3 . I haven't boot that up in a long time. I misunderstood what you were telling me,Sorry.
BTW they changed the edj file format, mp511 has the new type and the converter for the old type. If you make .edj files in a macpup before 511 they wont work in any of the ones from 511 on.....

I have converted Karl's background so it will work in 528 and made a .pet for it. Enjoy.
