Ok I went to compile inkscape lite because its usually in puppy and isn't in this one , and when it was compiling I had 2 errors one was it couldn't find the freetype config file, I looked and it wasn't there, So I recompiled the freetype that comes with Buster and looked in the folder and it wasn't copied so I added it to the folder and make a package for your next update. I also fixed the error with inkscape in the sources it was a typo.

Yes, I did. On Slacko 5.6ttuuxxx wrote:Ok I ran out of space, lol I only run live, So when you compile so much, it doesn't take long, So I installed my gimp pet and guess what it didn't work, it was missing some .so links lol really guys didn't anyone try it?
Linked a heap of .so.4077.whatever files to so.0, bt still endde up with a Glibc error so assumed it's just not compatible for me so no point posting.
Should I try again or am i likely to still be running the wrong glibc?

Thanks for reminding me greengeek the .so files weren't copied to the freetype either so I deleted the one on the server and reuploaded it fixed. So anyone who downloaded freetype package I made delete it and redownload it I'm going to have to check every time now.

Just tried the new one but same final issue:
Ok, I'm not running Dpup Buster but I figured what the heck - Slacko 5.6 runs Debian stuff so I'll try it anyway.
I t was worth a go 'cos i love your trimmed down approach.
EDIT - Glib error, not GlibC error
cheers!

So I went back to my favourite series of gimp 2.4 series and well, to make it work on modern backends you have to patch a bunch of stuff but anyways I got it going, I did have 1 start up error but it looks like it went away once I made a basic .desktop file. I made a new splash screen using it so it looks more modern when opening, Compared to newer gimps, this one starts up lightning fast. The best Part its only 6MB a saving of 104MB over the repo vervsion, Its actually small enough to maybe have it included, I made it the default paint app also, I removed the gimp console since nobody really uses it and it just takes up space. Well give it a try and let me know what you think Took me hours to get it compiling right.

Actually I prefer gimp2.4 to mtpait.
and I would put it in the iso.
but I do not know how they would take it.

well in the past I've made a few puppies with gimp and no mtpaint and took some heat for it, lol Then other times I included both since mtpaint is so small and that went over fine, but I also had gimp as the defaultpaint app and that worked well. Don't forget to use the freetype packages I provided that fixes the missing config file.

Changes to jwmrc-theme
One of gthe things I normally do manually, is change the background color of hte JWM Trays, by manually editing ~/.jwm/jwmrc-theme. In this puppy that change and other manual changes does not have any effect. What is different between this and other puppies?

Re: JWMdesk
In JWM, for some time, the colors can be edited in the ~/.jwm/jwmrc-theme, which will be reflected on the desktop. I have done this in puppies for a while. The highlighted details below should display the tray backgrounds in a gradient white / black. This is not occurring in dpup buster. The default tray in dpup buster shows that a gradient background should be displayed, however it is showing only dark grey trays.josejp2424 wrote:Terry H wrote:One of gthe things I normally do manually, is change the background color of hte JWM Trays, by manually editing ~/.jwm/jwmrc-theme.

I'm just trying to find out why this is different in dpup buster.

Hi Terry H.
Use another WM/traybar combination ? Don't buck!
E.g.:
Icewm has 400 themes, I think.
bmpanel2 about 45?
waimea will let you "paint" all manner of tranparency and shading in the title bar
and menus. (Yeah, that's a plural: menuS!)
Etc.
There are a lot of themes, etc. for a lot of WMs at https://www.box-look.org.
Just a thought. BFN.

That's not the point. This is an alpha release, I'm raising something that appears to not be functioning correctly.musher0 wrote:Hi Terry H.

Hi Terry H.
Ok. Blame it on my anything-but-jwm bias!
I'd be surprised if it was a bug created by DPupBuster, though. I'd suggest the bug is
upstream: in the Debian compilation or packaging, or even in the jwm code itself?
I say that because usually Puppy devs do not fiddle with the ready-made packages
they import from the respective repos. They just incorporate them.

Hi.
To come back to the bug that makes two freememapplet_tray icons appear in the tray,
which I briefly described here:
I solved it by recreating the approach in the freememappletshell (in DPupStretch and
probably other Pups), i.e. kill freememapplet_tray before (re)starting it. Something like:works.
Previously, I was using the approach:which did not do anything to prevent the bug.
IHTH.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On the issue of swappiness, I have decided to set it like so:ROX-Filer's performance was too sluggish for my taste with the value 10.
Description of my computer is attached, produced withYMMV.
Again IHTH
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FWIW, I gave HardInfo the pink slip, for abusing my patience.
Why did HardInfo run through the whole series of tests when I had specifically asked
it to provide me with a summary in text format by un-ticking all the irrelevant boxes?
As I said, that is an abuse of my patience.
You'll find lshw via the PPM. It has a GUI too; but don't bother, it looks quite ugly
and amateurish (IMO), compared to what we are used to in PuppyLand.

I noticed in ~/startup there is a script set-swappiness to set swappiness to 10. I changed mine to 50 as you have. [/i]musher0 wrote:

Re: JWMdesk
Thanks MochiMoppel, your response made me realise my error, so my issue is now solved, it was my error, I made a mistake thinking I was changing the whole Panel color. However the <Active> .... </Active> is referring to the Active Window coloring and is valid to set it as a grouping for foreground and backgropund. Each line does not have to be set individually.MochiMoppel wrote:Take a close look at the syntax. This can't work.Terry H wrote:I'm just trying to find out why this is different in dpup buster.
