tempestuous, Thank you for the honest and quick reply. You are the expert, have helped many, and I will follow your advice and wait for the 2.6.25.10 kernel. Do you happen to know what the release will be called so I can watch for it? Any best guess on a realistic range of dates for the release targ...

I have tried the wizard for wireless connection, but no love. I have read quite a bit, but am quite confused as to where to start. Wireless from the command line? Or? If y'all would be so kind, could you first clear up some puppy 4 nomenclature, please. I see that this dot pet is only for puppy 4.1a...

CatDude, Thanks so much for remembering my request and making the dot pet. I have it installed and it is the cat's meow. Sorry, could not resist that one. I wish you success with the project you were actually looking up nformation for. You are the Cat, Dude! Dude applying equally to a male or female...

Sorry for this question, but getting a little confused with puppy 4 designations. I am running Puppy 402 and this dot pet does not work for me. I guess I should have figured this since you did use the designation of 4.0.0 which is obviously not 4.0.2, right? I guess the designation for things that w...

WolfPup, Thanks for the reply and links. Works just like it should, great job! I just deleted all the T'bird files from my previous installation, rebooted the pooter, and installed your dot pet. Then I added my userChrome.css file and rebooted. It also accepted my extensions and imported my address ...

muggins,

Thanks for the reply. Your instructions/explanation is very clear and much appreciated.

I will give them a go when I get home later this pm.

Thanks, Chris.

Thanks all for the replies. davidA yes, I had seen the thread you directed me to. Unfortunately, I did not understand what JB4x4's comments actually meant. I got it now, I think. I believe he is saying that there are no entries in the menu under the start button and no desktop icons were provided or...

Some noob help please. I am using puppy 402 I followed a link from a forum member's signature and d'loaded openoffice 2.4.1sfs file I placed it in mnt/home. I rebooted. I went to boot manager and selected it and used add to place it in the right hand panel. I rebooted again. When I click on the star...

Thanks again,

How would I do that exactly?

For example, change the throbber from the circle thingy to a tux?

Thanks, Chris.

Have you seen a thunderbird.pet by any chance?

edit...duplicate post.

Disciple, Thanks for the reply. I had found a chrome folder with several things in it. I tried putting my userChrome.css file in it and rebooting, but no change. I also tried putting the contents of my userChrome.css file into two other files (one at a time) and rebooting, but no go. To the inexperi...

Hi, Long story short, first step in making my boxes as ms free as possible, I moved to firefox, Thunderbird and OpenOffice. They work fine in windoze and would like to have same/similar look in puppy 402. I installed Firefox and was able to use the userChrome.css files from my windoze setup in my pu...

Hello all, I do not see much on Thunderbird. Any reason in particular? I d'loaded the t'bird tarball from mozilla, version 2.0.0.14. Followed some instructions I found in the forum where they had me start installation by placing the tarball in my-applications. Installation seems to have gone ok, not...

ttuuxxx Sorry to be such a bother, but still no go. I made sure both .conkyrc and conky.conf were the same. I entered conky start in a terminal, conky opened completely, but vanished 8-10 seconds later. If using own_window yes, it had a black background and stayed a few seconds longer. I discovered ...

ttuuxxx, Uninstalled the old pet then installed the new pet. Display came up for a few seconds then mostly went away. I would like to try SirDuncan's text. I have found that we have both a .conkyrc and a conky.conf files. If we want to make a change, like SirDuncan did, which one do we put it in, or...

ttuuxxx, Thanks for the latest puppy4 pet. I had tried the first two and used puppy to delete them and rebooted. I used pfind to find conky and found quite a few instances that the uninstaller did not get rid of, and I did reboot. I have run your latest puppy4.pet and am having some trouble. First, ...

ttuuxxx,

Thanks for the reply. Sometimes the answer is so close we can not see the forest for the trees.

The call in wbar is petget. Some days are better than others. Oh well, it is working just fine now. Thanks for that, Chris

ttuuxxx, Thanks for the reply. I removed the first puppy4 pet, rebooted, then installed the second puppy4 pet. It opened top right like it is supposed to and with a black background like you said it would. I went to the conky.conf file and changed it from top right to top left and restarted. Hmmm......

ttuuxxx Thanks for this fix, even a real noob like me can see the value in having the ability to check dependencies. I am using and really liking wbar. The puppy package manager icon call is dotpup. In 301, when clicked, we get to the Puppy package manager where we can click on a button to run the P...

Hey group, Thanks for the new conky and your information. I had to switch tp pupy4 to get xorg to work on my lappy, si dingo is very new to me. In puppy 301 conky was set up in .conky, but there is no .conky in dingo. Instead, it looks like there is an abreviated .conky like file called conk.conf. I...
