You going to post this back on the Neofetch Github web page?
Here you go!
Neofetch all Puppyfied
Really, they would probably like to see the config options you used.
Good example for customizing!!!

Mike, the startup script in my-apps is not needed. You can simply add
Code: Select all
Exec=urxvt -e sh -c 'neofetch ; read p'
to the .desktop file.

That fixed it.
Thank you for that.

@ Sylvander:-
Good, good. I thought that should do it. Enjoy.
@ rg66:-
Thanks for that, RG. I'd been wondering myself last night whether I really needed the additional script.....and you're right; I don't. But if I put that directly into the desktop entry (which I know works), it then bypasses the YAD GUI.....which was one of the main points of doing the "GUI" version.
So I've added it into the YAD script; instead of calling the script in /my-applications/bin, it now executes it directly:-
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh

Gui version now re-worked and re-uploaded.

Can I ask if this should work in older pups such as lucid 5287. I've installed the pet and seem to have the same version of yad as in your slacko pet.
Code: Select all
# yad --version
0.40.0 (GTK+ 2.20.0)
#
On clicking the menu entry yad runs and seems to continue to run but nothing appears on the screen.
Regards,
Ken.

Sorry, my bad. Latest pet is now working on lucid 5287. Thanks for this.

Hi, Ken.
Glad to hear it
is working after all. It should do; it's working in my own copy of Lucid, so there ought to be no problems with it. What did you do differently between the first time and subsequent runs, d'you think?
Mike.

Hi Mike,
Gui version now re-worked and re-uploaded.
I downloaded and installed your re-worked version. I'm not now sure whether the version of yad originally in lucid was 0.40 or whether it was added from your pet. As I was messing around trying to find out why it wouldn't work I can't remember whether I ran
or your pet first. My excuse for this is usually called a senior moment. I run lucid on an old laptop (800MHz, 320MB). Your pet runs fast even with these meegre specs. With the first pet it seemed to run yad for some time but nothing appeared on the screen. I ran it from the menu entry. Hope this helps.
Regards,
Ken.[/code]
