Thanks for trying out also this version of PuppEX.

Tearing: I have no such problems on my computers. I guess it is a hardware problem on yours.

@Jasper

I have no package list for the devx-file. Sorry.

@Jasper

Thank You for testing PuppEX and your report. I really appreciate it.

SMB2: I don't think that is the problem since Samba works. Watch this screenshot. Just when using PCManFM for the connection.

@norgo

Yes, the gvfs package was missing, but unfortunately installing it doesn't help. Not in my latest PuppEX anyway. I did forget about gvfs. Normally it should be enough to make Samba work in PCManFM if also cifs-utils and winbind are installed.

Yes "normally" PCManFM can do that, but not in all distros. Something is obviously missing in PuppEX Noble64. And in all other PuppEX versions.

The command I use for Samba connections: smbclient \\\\192.168.0.38\\LINUX -U arne

@norgo,

I mean everything of importance.

Missing icons is not so important. Easy to fix.

Mount with the mount app.

Samba connections via PCManFM is not possible, but you can connect with a terminal command.

NEWS 241018
I've uploaded a new version of PuppEX Slack64 with much more firmware included. Now it runs on almost ALL "normal" computers - see above about Build 241016. The new version can be downloaded directly from the Swedish Linux Society's server...

@norgo,

Very good, but please tell me exactly how you added the firmware in question.

@rockedge,

Ok, but how shall we explain that the new PuppEX version runs on some (older) computers and in VirtualBox/Vmware? I mean if something is wrong with the .xinitrc file that should/must make the system unusable on all computers.

@Clarity

Thanks a lot for your report and testing. Very good!

@mikeslr Thanks a lot! I will install Mate then.

@Jasper

You can download devx_puppex_24.04.sfs if you need it.
