Getting Gnome to work with Puppy is no small feat, and I've always liked the look of the Mint desktop. Now the community has an OS with Mint looks and Puppy speed; Great work!

with the terminal problem, maybe try LXTerminal and see how you like it.

Hi Tman !

I'm glad Gnome to be successful! :D It's very encouraging!

I just finished the latest version of MATE for slacko, I find it more stable, all applets working. I can do without the Chinese calendar now :mrgreen:
Mate? still mint linux ! :D
I think replacing Gnome 2.32 by Mate.

Translation:
Buddy I know it's annoying, but could you upload it [the ISO] to Dropbox or Mediafire? There's no way to download it, the download stops at half. Your work is very good. Excellent!!!

Salut, Jejy69.

Congratulations on making your Gnome Puppy available!

I'm not personally a fan of sizeable environments, and I will continue to focus on the innerds of Puppy and on smaller window managers rather than on the ones that present a more flashy -- and perhaps less flexible -- exterior.

However, human nature being what it is, your Puppy may be exactly what some users need to consider Puppy as a serious competitor to the most popular Linuxes out there, like Mint and Ubuntu. Just proving that it is possible to combine Gnome and Puppy should garner attention.

Bonne continuation ! :D

Bonjour Musher0 !

Yes, you're right, community is attracted more minimalist side, while I go the other way. :lol:
But that may be useful for new users, who come from big distributions like Ubuntu, and can thus allow a smoother transition to Puppy.
We must admit, at first JWM is a bit hard to understand, when you have habits with Gnome.

Have a nice day! :D

Adding a mirror to download! :wink:

For the next release, I prepared gnome-session-fallback. You'll be able to use Video drivers, without Gnome-shell which doesn't work for the time being.
I'll add the "Computer" and trash directories too.

The next release ? it might take a little longer than expected, I'm trying 3.0.2 version of Gnome.
Version 3.2 appears to contain more bugs, and moreover, it can not run gnome-shell on Puppy, with hundreds of obscure messages

on my 10yr old Acer laptop - and I am very pleasantly surprised at how well it runs on such a ram-challenged contraption.

Trying this out, just for the sake of trying it :lol:

I think I like the other one better. This one has the same issues with network setup, but it also has an icon problem... the bottom tray is empty of icons, and the larger icons in the "Setup Puppy" (first-run splash screen) show up as blank.

...perhaps it's a graphics driver bug? I'm using the "intel" driver, laptop is a Dell Inspiron 6400 with chipset (integrated, Intel) graphics. The chipset (and therefore graphics processor) is a 945GM.

EDIT: ...actually, I think I like the /other/ GNOME puplet of yours better, anyway -- particularly based on how it works and how it looks. I'll stick to that one, then...

Hi Jejy69

I have a bigger problem - also Intel grpahics - frugal install to my HP550 laptop - I just get an "Oh No! Something has gone wrong - can't recover - logout" screen.

Tried issuing xwin gnome-session from the terminal - same result...

Wonder what can be wrong???

Thanks

Hello !

Gnome 3.x is not yet perfect in Puppy, the fact to install the video driver actives Gnome shell which is not functional.
Indeed, Gnome shell requires hardware acceleration.

You can try the pet package below, this is the gnome fallback session. You'll be able to start Gnome 3.x without Gnome Shell.

Type in the console "xwin gnome-session-fallback".

Gnome shell is really hard to make it work...
