Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hey Mike

Just tried it on my SL15 and it works great.

Thanks,

Vektor

Hi stemsee

Link shows not secure in Firefox and halts. I do not know what that means, so just letting you know.

Vektor

I won't be back!

Hey LANdpLAN

I have ver. 0.8.18.1

If you cannot get it let me know and I will put it on my GDrive share.

I run PorteuX but it also works on my Puppy Slacko-15

Leafpad also prints the paths of multiple files dropped into it, one per line.

Vektor

Mine is close, 54

I like all of the letters of the alphabet equally, but a really cool name is deserved imo. Something with "mega" or "ultra".

I am going to add it to my right click context menu.

Thanks for the cool app!

Vektor

I use a small Conky with Date and Clock in it's own window, set to "keep above" other windows. It is small enough to put over a blank area on just about any program I use.

I have both panels / taskbars set to autohide, making the Conky Clock a nice feature for me.

Vektor

Figlet is also used in AsciiFlow

which also runs from a local folder when saved as a complete web page.

Easy and fun.

Vektor

I like the clock at the top right. Nice touch.

Vektor

Thanks. I have my reading glasses on now, so I will attempt to actually comprehend stuff before posting.

Vektor

Edit: Should I delete my posts because they are meaningless?

Duplicate?

Hey everyone

I came across a cool 2 me movie titled "The Artifice Girl".

Really hooked me.

Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Artifice_Girl

Hope you enjoy it.

Every modern TV I have used with a computer has cutoff 50 pixels on each side and 30 pixels off the top and bottom. I add 4 panels to create a reduced desktop area and everything is good.

Hi l0wt3ch

Sorry, I do not.

Too bad you did not get a straight answer the first time, or the second either. Sounded like a politician. Should have been "Info cannot be found".

I think personal pronouns should not be used by a computer program.

Vektor

Hey everyone.

I would post a pic but my desktop is black with no icons and taskbar set to autohide. So very pretty.

Vektor

It is really exciting scrolling past all your empty posts Jasper.

Vektor

Hi Luluc

Have to guess since you provided no info: hard drive.

Vektor

$.02

Artificial Ignorance is ignorant of the same stuff we are, without any common sense to boot. Or ethics.

Hi pp4mnklinux

"Is it better to use this link when uploading images to the forum or include the image"

I like seeing the images --- easier to view the entire post without opening a tab to view each image. Lazy I am.

Vektor

Hey HerrBert

Good point.

Vektor

Hey Marv

" It runs with no intervention or diversion required from me"

You still need to click something to shutdown though, right?

Would a desktop shortcut not survive updates or a reboot?

Confused.

Vektor

Hi everybody

I do not see the difference between having a script shortcut to run a progran before shutdown and doing the same thing in /etc/rc.d which seems much more difficult.

Am I missing something? Probably.

Vektor

So Mike,

How did you
"divert" the system-calls from "Shutdown" & "Re-boot" ?

Vektor

Hi Marv

Thanks again for the brain twister.

I made a script that started Dolphin file manager and then sleep 10 and reboot and it actually worked!

Would that be simple enough?

Vektor

Hi Marv

When you say "simple" what do you have in mind? What is the goal?
I read the rc.local and it "seems" easy but I am usually wrong.

Thanks for giving me something new to try.

Vektor

Hey everybody.

I like to try various distros by iso booting and had problems with fragmentation.
I have tried to make them contiguous and even tried --preallocate but no-go.
Probably should just wipe the test partition and start over.
