The best part of Xfce (in my opinion) is the xfce4-panel when combined with the xfce4-whiskermenu-plugin. Topping it off with a complete icon set, so that there are no missing icons in the menus will allow for great customisation and a more polished look and feel. You don't need the entire suite of ...

Rather than zentile I would suggest, which is based on zentile.

Yeah, I took a look at it. I couldn't get it to install properly using golang, as per the instructions. The nice thing about zentile is that you can download the pre-compiled binary.

Good news I got the latest Nvidia driver working for my card. I had to jump through some hoops to get it working so here are the steps I took for those who are interested.

1) Go to the nvidia website https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us . Select the appropriate boxes for your video ...

TurtleX

The Debian package of the driver should work just fine, but I don't have any NVIDIA GPU I can use to reproduce your problem and suggest a solution. Sorry.

Thank you for trying. Although not 100% certain, I am inclined to believe that it's a driver problem from the Debian distro repo. My ...

This thread was initially only used to get tiling working in jwm, but since I have pseudo-tiling options enabled in other window managers, I thought I'd add the info, here.
Please note that newer versions of jwm has 4 features that I would call pseudo-tiling. You can add these keybindings to your ...

TurtleX

There is a good script here that I believe @MochiMoppel wrote and it works great in fossapup.

It works! Thank you! Just a note that you need to install wmctrl before it will work. Fossapup already has wmctrl installed by default. Also it may override your existing keybindings, but you can ...

@TurtleX I wonder if Stickyjwm will work in this case? This script will add tiling features to the jwm desktop.

I tried it in Fossapup first and it worked out of the box. When I installed it in this Vanilla Dpup, nothing seemed to happen. So I extracted the pet from https://www.forum.puppylinux ...

TurtleX

Thanks. It works on my Devuan 9 with JWM

You're welcome. I've never tried Devuan before. My favourite Debian spin at the moment is Spiral Debian. The xfce release is very clean and nice out of the box.
Devuan is Debian without systemd if I recall correctly. I use Artix, which is Arch without ...

Here are the other shorcut keys using zentile, once you have activated it. Try it out!

Control-Shift-i

Ok, good to know. Just decided to add a howto using zentile. It gives a window manager some auto-tiling functions. Some might be interested.

How to get some automatic Window Tiling features in Jwm.
Not as robust and pure tiling window managers, but at least we get some basic features.

[1] go to this site and get the latest downlod release. I chose the 64-bit version
https://github.com/blrsn/zentile

[2] copy the file over to /usr/bin ...

EDIT: Wait! I see that you have something simialiar, already installed?!!

Yes, see https://forum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=6055

Oh, :shock: :? How embarassing. I guess I will read the documentation more thouroughly before pointing out any new "bright ideas". Upon further digging, I ...

TurtleX

Ok, I see now. Those key bindings are already used by something else:

<Key mask="CA" key="Right">rdesktop</Key>
<Key mask="CA" key="Left">ldesktop</Key>
<Key mask="CA" key="Up">udesktop</Key>
<Key mask="CA" key="Down">ddesktop</Key>

Those are used to move the contents of a window to another ...

TurtleX

Hello, I stumbled across this webpage https://oldforum.puppylinux.com/viewtopic.php?t=97950 and am requesting if this feature could be added as standard.
Disregard the old info about wmctrl. All you need to do is add the following lines to /.jwm/jwmrc-personal and you get windows-snap functions ...

nouveau and nv are userspace drivers, it's normal to have them loaded and unused.

Ok, I'm learning so much here. Since the nvidia driver is not currently working, is there an easy way of getting the nouveau driver loaded again without deleting my puppy savefile?
Do you think that the debian ...

TurtleX

Thank you Sofiya! That is good to know.

@dmkir

I added nouveau to the skiplist and reboot. Got a reduced resolution screen. I then installed the nvidia driver with the command
apt install nvidia-driver firmware-misc-nonfree
I rebooted, but the resoultion did not revert back to 1920x1080. I ...

TurtleX

Ok, thanks. I will try that and report back later. On a side note, I'm curious to why my attached image is not displaying correctly. Is there a specific image format other than .png file that needs to be used?

TurtleX

Blacklisting using /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf should work just fine, if you save the changes before you reboot.

Sorry, I tried multiple times to confirm that changes to that file are not persistent upon save. Other changes work fine, such as changing theme, wallpaper, installing apps ...

TurtleX

Hi again. I just read over my last post and want to clarify some errors I made. The Nvidia driver I used in Fossapup was not and SFS, it was a pet, downloaded in the quickpet app. Steam was also a pet. The SFS I needed to add was "32bit-compatibilty-fossa64.sfs" needed for steam. I apologize for the ...

TurtleX

Thanks dmkir and Bigpup for your help. I will try not to bother you too much more on this subject since it it not crucial getting Steam to run. After all it runs fine for me on Artix, my main gaming OS, and Garuda, my OS for practically everything else. I used Puppy years ago when I had an older PC ...

TurtleX

Hi, now I understand why the SFS did not load, once again, thanks. But I am confused why SFS-Load is installed if it is not supported in Dpup. Anyway, im not sure how to insert images in those img tags, but here is the text output, after I installed the nvidia driver:
Conflicting nouveau kernel ...

TurtleX

Ok ty for the information regarding not using the nouveau driver, I will delete the save file and start over.

TurtleX

I tried to load the kernel source, becuase I thought the nvidia driver might need it during install, but I guess it didn't. The sfs was in the github site anlong with Dpup 9.3 beta, so I downloaded them both.
Anyhow, after I installed the nvidia driver, and rebooted, my screen resolution got reduced ...

TurtleX

I just did a quick install. Coming from Garuda and Artix Linux, both Arch based.
First impressions. I've tried Jwm pups before and this is an improvement in the looks department.
Love how this Puppy can use apt-get out of the box.

Some Issues to report:
- Although I would prefer not to have the ...
