I just wish we knew what we were updating to besides the perennial 'security update' and esoteric release notes.

JASpup

Strange commiseration though surprised you wouldn't have solved it.

For me it's only Brave by .sfs.

JASpup

When I quit Brave a new regular window opens as if there are duplicate execute lines in a script. There are three Exec= lines in the launcher, but under different headings, e.g. [Desktop Entry], [Desktop Action new-window], [Desktop Action new-private-window]. [Desktop Entry] Version=1.0 Name=Brave ...

geo_c although my favorite pups include alt-DEs I aspire to not deviate too far from stock to not mire in my own esoteric contraption. I was having this problem yesterday - in XFCE the gtk changer is called Appearance . Changing the setting wasn't changing the gtk. I restarted X in JWM and changed ...

JASpup

Again, JWMDesk isn't a help when the goal is automation.

I am not looking for all the sub utilities but the global theme changer.

JASpup

If you find the OS blurry, try disabling anti-aliasing. I appreciate the consistency, but you have given me this advice before on the same subject. I suspect peabee is the only one who can answer this dilemma, but Bionic simply does not render the same as Tahr and Xenial. It's slight but enough to ...

JASpup

To change GTK theme you can try switch2 from cli. I don't think there is something similar for JWM ... [EDIT] Pinboard background color is a ROX setting. switch2 is not in Tahr, but I will keep an eye out for it. Bummer about JWM, too bad. I have not tried it, but Ptheme switches globally cli, of c...

JASpup

It looks like in JWMDesk we can save profiles, jwmrc-personal & -tray2. I have never needed to manually change -personal settings. I change -tray & -theme files regularly. For those who do not use it: Ptheme is a comprehensive desktop configuration changer. It reads like bigpup is stating ea...

JASpup

This is Tahr ptheme-0.4.1.pet installed from the old forum. Notice the JWM entries are missing. Wallpaper works. GTK and Icon theme will open the dialog or offer dropdown choice, but will not take affect when applied globally. Window buttons and the other choices do not work at all. Or otherwise, do...

JASpup

I am in Bionic atm but for screen clarity I do not recommend it to myself. I thought it might be an issue with gtk, but for some reason Bionic on my laptops seems to share Openbox/LXDE qualities and appear blurry. I am here to look at Ptheme (normal habit of booting a distro for a specific feature)....

JASpup

williams2 perhaps versions function differently. It's normal in lxrandr for the app to close after Apply . Save retains the app window. You are correct that it does not read the config you saved, but repeating the config you saved works sometimes after the initial attempt fails (my hack). I would b...

JASpup

Similar hassles I think of it as a retrograde-advance. Even 32-land is not immune.

Auto-Pmount should at least be a setting.

Though, you seem advanced enough to handle some modest interactivity.

I like the term Creators' Perogative.

JASpup

It reads like you're writing about handler, the second selection under Desktop Icons/Icon Handler in Puppy Event Manager.

The other idea is to have it mount at boot, which requires having it inserted at boot. The setting is in pmount, but can also be manual if you prefer editing setting text.

Growing understand: it is possible Quickpet always displays on a remaster as part of a 1st-run script, so unless you edit the boot script, you'll get a new Quickpet on the desktop even if you removed it for remaster. I auto-change PuppyPin anyway so that isn't a big deal. The 2nd Pmcputemp still req...

JASpup

If you're running frugally as most of us are, you can't delete apps without remastering Puppy.

You can simply hide them.

I booted Lx 16.07 yesterday thinking it was Tahr when it's Slacko and all my browsers wouldn't run. All I have seen to run in Puppyland for my full-time 64 future is Battleshooter Xenial and Mainline Fossa, but I cannot devote to one distro for some odd feature or lacking. Lx has some cool features ...

JASpup

More testing: In Xenial 32 (I would expect LxXenial and some other distros to be same), one scenario where the non-function occurs is when both monitors are ON and I try to turn the external OFF. It appears to work, the new setting holds for a few seconds, then it reverts to both monitors ON. The ot...

JASpup

williams2 the issue is inconsistency. Sometimes changing lxrandr settings works by design, sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't, I apply my hack fix, and when that doesn't work, yours seems foolproof. To your question: If your edit works consistently, that is a solution. Then how do we know if my ...

Playing SAMBA taught me one extra limit: XP Home cannot connect to SAMBA shares. According to a source it's Pro edition onwards. Thus far the basic technology works everywhere else I have tried (Windows / Linux / Android).

JASpup

lxrandr is the same in Ubuntu so I would guess this is not a Puppy issue. My normal hack fix is to apply the Advanced settings & save them. Then I run it again, re-choose the settings, and Apply them. There are three typical solutions: It works normally My hack works Executing the .config launc...

It has but not awful to regurgitate.

X-Tahr for the speed of usability. XFCE is a big part of that but not the only reason, and like every pup it has its quirks.

JASpup

bigpup Long-time memory serves you are booting SD on a much newer computer (this one is a little over 10 years old). I wanted to experiment pfix=nocopy and getting browser config and repository databases out of /root on a SD card for maximum ram, but reality is sinking in (a newer 64 notebook w/>= ...

JASpup

I would intuit the boot media limitation is itself limited to media available in BIOS.

In other words, any bootable media should be able to refer to recognized devices even if SD in this case is not a boot medium in BIOS.

Then if not the case the question is the basic reason why.

JASpup

Maybe I'll wait for a gnome-based puppy. Here more intermediate, most of the replies you are receiving are experts, but we each have a unique perspective. If you are advanced with DEs you can try GNOME, but if you aren't I would warn about a strong bias for the default environment. Second is LXDE/Q...

JASpup

I booted Slacko6 just to remember its coup - Places sitting there next to the Menu button (hence no need for desktop partitions) from the Buntoo Ptheme. I put MATE here too . If you have the patience for a remaster I would remove Firefox 38.2. I'm in luck with Pale Moon 28 standalone (29 is barking ...

JASpup

I can't precisely answer your question but commiserate. Firefox tends to auto-update. Many older versions don't, or do once and stop. Consequentially I have a few 70s-era versions, 66 and 88 for 32-bit Upups. 66 (a stopper) has a bunch of dependencies in Tahr. I would expect the same in Slacko6. For...

JASpup

Odd scenario: by design an old 32 laptop boots by USB or internal HD but not by SD card. HD is in a failing read-only state so I am experimenting. I am trying to boot the SD card by USBFLASH. I've both created a manual boot menu as well as automated G4D (they look similar). The menu is on USB, and w...

JASpup

In the wash it's about the info, but in the attempt I used ifconfig and ip addr show. They're all providing feedback here in 32Xenial but not sure I had the same luck in every pup.
