Hmmmm.. they are both there... I haven't time to test atm.. I'll take a look at Charlie's attachment for clues later today.. it may be a case of exporting the CPPFLAGS before configuration for some apps.

a ps.
for folks who might pick up a clue or 2 from this thread..
opening a Terminal and typing "seamonkey" doesnt find the program. But you can do

Code: Select all

cd /opt/seamonkey
./seamonkey -profilemanager

which is quite helpful, and you can tell it there where you want your profile directory to go. (Close all running mozilla before typing that.)
Another interesting-looking option listed by the --help is

Code: Select all

-migration

but I havent played with that yet.

01Micko,
They had this problem also in Lucid Puppy 5.2.8.
Here is where Playdayz fixed it for his instant update 001 to Lucid Puppy.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 068#560068

Yes... I fixed it in Lupu! But that fix fails in Slacko

. I have to patch the source such that the offending icon[s] is omitted.. best I can do (did with an earlier version so should be doable.) There is no stock gtk icon for "workstation", or even a link. It's a gnome icon, which fails to be recognised in Slacko (also Slackware).. does anyone know what the other 2 icons are? I stock gtk it can be fixed.

For the graphics driver recommendation, Slickpet recommends Xorg-High on both of the machines I've been testing - however clicking the button to download the driver generates a package not found error.

Yes, the missing icons "media-playlist-repeat" and "media-playlist-shuffle" were easy enough to identify, looking through the source code (or as reported in the post above this), but, how did you find out the name of the missing "workstation"-icon, couldn't see even a trace of it in the source code

.

Manual frugal install Slacko B2
No save file

Welcome Woof Woof window.
Looking at this as a new user to Puppy.

Internet Connection
Reading this, it gives the impression that you need to do this to get on the INTERNET. Most of the time you are already setup with network and INTERNET working. All done auto by boot process.
Suggest you have statement that says connection should have been setup automatically by booting Puppy. If not, do this.

My bad. Firefox beta 7 requires a dictionary add on to be downloaded

Slacko B2
fresh frugal + save

Slickpet->drivers->click here to test your graphics card
Says my card is a Nvidia Quadro FX 330/Quadro NVS 280
Recommended driver is Nvidia 173.14.28
Download and install driver.
Driver sort of works, but have different problems. Basically it is not the driver needed by my card. Lockups, no openGL, Puppy will not shutdown, etc....
Normally I use the Nvidia 173.14.25 driver.

Hmm.. I searched the source for the call to the folder and cd icons awhile ago... it's a gnome icon .. it may not be called "workstation" but workstation is a symlink to the main icon.. going on rusty mem here

. I will find it again though, I was in some discussion with Kevin about the issue, of course he uses fedora and that is a gnome distro.. so his reply was to install the gnome icons.. ok did that and it still failed

. I'll come to some satisfactory solution soon.

I got the recommended product ID's direct from the nvidia website. I'll switch your ID to the 173 list.

Yes, that is how it is.. one size doesn't fit all!

It does identify the Nvidia 173.14.28 driver as the one to use.
I tried again to install the Nvidia 173.14.28 driver by using Slickpet.
I think you have a problem with the driver pet or the install process.
This time the driver downloaded.
Got the click OK to install pet
Never get any follow up windows saying installed, dependency check, run xorgwizard, etc...

01micko : your comments on BK's blog noted, this morning. This would be a great time to break the mould. Make Opera the default - you won't regret it!
