peebee i would be glad if you provided the built/patched libglib, i too tried to use pupvol monitor and failed. Unlike you i wanted to use it with xfce and thunor, better yet 666philb could avail it in quickpet, it could also be used with mate desktop.

aaaarg!! sorry kimathi, i must have forgotten to upload them (meaning to once the kernel had been tested) and now i can't find them!
so i tried recompiling the kernel and aufs-utils fails to build, i've tried about 12 different combinations of kernel versions + patches or kernel with noPAE and none have successfully built! maybe the aufs repo has altered something or my computer is on the blink. I'll look into it further when i get time and try and build a no-pae kernel.

There are no tahrfix.pet in the 'latest' folder, but there are 2 fairly recent tahrfix.zip in the 'quickpet' folder - do they need to be installed to give the most up-to-date TahrPup?

Thanks

Well i noticed shinobar built an nvidia driver for the kernel maybe he has it, Anyway i love your creation so far kernel 3.14 seems to work best for me and i usually use PAE kernel since i have 4gb ram. Thanks for the good work. Could you push build system to WOOFCE.

Instead, I used kernel_sources-3.14.11-tahr_PAE.sfs to build the nvidia-glx-340.24-k3.14.13.sfs, and it was OK.

How to change sombre colours of PartView and Pmount displays

#296 Post by B.K. Johnson »

Hi all

How can I change the sombre colours of the PartView and Pmount displays?
I have no interest in eye candy, so if the Desktop tools Chtheme or JWM can do the job, can someone please tell me how. If these tools can't, then Please Mr. Dev, at least embolden the white text to improve visibility for these failing eyes.

An afterthought: How about adding a Refresh button to PartView?

Look at the alternate Partview here. It may be easier to read.

Thanks rcrsn51. That certainly eases the eyestrain. And it has Rescan/Refresh to boot.

[EDIT]
Removed comment that only mounted drive/partition data is displayed after trying the All button.

Weird thing just happened.

I plugged in an Android phone via USB, and it brought up the install partition for the MTP stuff which shows up in Puppy as an optical icon on the desktop.

Then all the drive icons disappeared and now they won't stay up.

I can restart X and they pop up as usual, then they disappear and don't come back until X is restarted.

Any ideas?

Hi,

I did extensive test of "TahrPup 5.8.3 beta " with external packages such as Google Earth, Skype, etc. against retro Precise 5.7.1

Excellent, the prime thing I miss on an 32bits version, is a non PAE kernel, as for retro Precise 5.7.1.
Why? Because, lot of Celeron processors do not support PAE kernel.
Failed to boot on a Celeron laptop, contrary to retro 571

Comments & suggestions.

* In start-up config add sound speaker and microphone configuration.
* add lxrandr, for people like me who uses an external monitor from a laptop, also a prompt up config for that (people might not know where to find it).
* my desktop monitor 1366x768, my external monitor (1280x1024) => icons to the right of the screen do not show-up on external monitor (same with Precise), should be placed <1024 px.


Missing audio extension support, i.e. no default opening for:

.m4a & .m4b
.opus
.ogg if audio codec is opus
.flac
.eac3


Failed to install

* guvcview
* xbatalarm
* flowblade 0.14
(didn't tried Kdenlive 0.98, nor Pitivi)

Update wishes
* openssl
Heartbug & later are ignore by Ubuntu!!
See all Debian Security list https://www.debian.org/security/2014
* ntfs-3g to 2014.2.15 (works for me on Precise)
See http://www.tuxera.com/community/release-history
* Geany 1.24.1
* mhwaveedit-1.4.23
* mtpaint-3.44.85
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 73&t=81136
* pburn-4.3.6
(If you need the pets, I can upload them)

Quid:

* no battery alarm (xbatarlarm)
* ROX default with thumbnail both image & video preview
* termit-2.3.0 as replacement terminal
* I encourage you to try to replace AbiWord & Gnumeric with OpenOffice 2.2.x.
Why this oldy?
* Fast, not as today heavy LibreOffice
* Additional features, such as .ppt support
* Light
But if runs under Precise, fails to run under Tahr

Thanks a lot for all the work!

apt-get or aptitude

what is to do to add that to TahrPup to avoid to add manually each dependency?

...
If you are willing to review a suggestion,@Shinobar has posted a resolution that affect many/most early Celerons and PentiumMs.

Have you taken a moment to review his suggestion and post the CPU/model/motherboard where his suggestion does NOT apply?

The solution that @Shinobar offers will allow any Celeron which benefits, the opportunity to run ANY 32bit PUP; no matter if it is PAE or non.

An excellent solution presented to 32bit PUP users.
