Hello Lhp friends,

I have been ill and away from puppy for a while.
Want to get my computer working again. I have not caught up on all the posts.
My questions may already be addressed. Please forgive me.

Here is a copy of cross post I am sending to 01micko.
I am not sure if these issues are related or not. I am hoping someone can tell me.

01micko:

tempicon works fairly well in lighthouse which is related to slacko.

When Installed, this version starts working without further tweaking.
It even installs to the panel. However, the icon does not show.
I can tell its there because it leaves a space between icons.
When I click on the space it opens tempicon.

On second thought, this may not be tempicon's problem.
I want to use xfce windows manager, which works on the live CD.
But lighthouse refuses to this in a frugal install. It will only work with Openbox.

So I am not sure where the problem lies.

I will send a message to Lhp folks as well.

Pete

PSS Any chance of upgrading to latest Xfce?

On the tempicon issue, it is my understanding that the current taskbar anomolie will disappear. And, anyone using the upcoming Slacko distros will see it as well.

But, it could be a few weeks to get to final.

Here to help

Rebooted: No go on Xfce

Removed old xfce file.
I redownloaded Xfce file, and checked md5
Rebooted: No go on Xfce

Reloaded main LHP files

PS The only other oddity that I have noticed with this 625 Final version of LHP is with
the verify mariner. It would not run from the downloaded iso nor from cd disk. It would
only run from a completed frugal install to my hard drive. Never saw this behavior
before. Did anyone else see that issue, or is it just me and my hardware?

Hi Pete,

Thanks for the info. I omitted a step, that is to press Enter, after the last line above (beginning with cat) to show installed Pets.

I made a Pet of the (same version) Xfce4 SFS. It includes Gvfs. To try this I recommend unloading the Xfce4 and Gvfs SFS files in BootManager and reboot.

Then install the Pet here:
http://www.lhpup.org/download/update/L64-515/Desktop/

You'll need about 140M free space in your save file to successfully install it.

Hope that helps,
TaZoC

I've prepared 64-bit packages of the latest Java 7u13 in case anyone needs it.

Q5sys:
Sharp eye for noticing that: Too bad there isn't a 625.....hum at least yet.
Could it be a Freudian slip of my desire for a new improved super duper powered LH pup?
Nope, it already is super duper.
So maybe my mind was moving faster than my fingers or something like that. Haha.

Tazoc: I will send a new improved output. And then apply the pet.

Pete.
