My puplet : KDPUP

Thursday, May 13th, 2010

Took me some time to recall password of my account on this blog LOL don’t you hate having so much passwords eh? Should really use Figaros password manager more or something even for my own sites xD

Well, that’s not the point of this post, I finally finished a puplet I was working on these days, uploaded it yesterday night and announced on puppy forum this morning, it’s based on smooth dpup (puppy linux) distro + KDE 3.5.10 by default and many apps added to original base, including amarok, firefox updated to 3.6.3, pidgin/kopete/weechat/skype IMs and VOIP, plus some fancy multimedia apps like amarok 1.4.10/audacity/lmms/avidemux etc…

Take a look at full announcement and download locations at puppy linux forum here:

Fujitsu Siemens laptop

Sunday, December 20th, 2009

Hey, people, what’s up? I didn’t have good connection these days, today seems better, hope it lasts… Past two days we had snow here in Podgorica which is very rare since we have very warm climate. It doesn’t liner much today it’s already almost melted. :)

Anyway, I did some shopping, found an old laptop selling cheap on local forums, it misses couple of keyboard buttons and battery doesn’t work but other then that seems good so far…
It’s Fujitsu Siemens Amilo D CY 23, these are some specs:

CPU: Intel III Coppermine @ 996 Mhz
RAM: 335 MB
HD: Toshiba 20 GB
CD-RW/DVD Combo drive
2xUSB 1.1

amilo

I’ve installed ttuuxxx’s 2.14X puppy on it, I made 512 MB swap partition and about 8 GB ext2 and did a frugal install. Almost everythin worked out-of-box, I had to do some adjustments for touchpad tap but it’s just minor change in xorg.conf and oh yes I needed pgprs pet for my 3G modem. I made a pinky girly desktop ’cause my mom will be using it. (She used puppy linux all the time on my desktop PC :D

Here’s a screenie, click to enlarge:

Enjoy holidays, see ya soon! ;)

Multiuser puppy linux

Monday, September 7th, 2009

Many users wanted multi user support on puppy linux. I never thought of using root account as some great danger, but even without that issue it’s still nice to have personalized settings and loging enabled for use on shared computers. So here’s a brand new “puplet” based on 4.2.1 with multi-user support added to it done by Pizzasgood forum member. This is beta release and still has some issues, so testers are welcome to try out and give feedback.

This puplet boots like the regular 4.2.1 official release straight into root desktop, but there’s option in setup menu to enable loging and add new users. Ones you get that set (very simple, requires couple of minutes) you will have login prompt on next boot and be able to boot into working X enviroment.

For installing packages, mounting drives or other important system configurations, you’ll have to either log in as root or use terminal to change to superuser, type: su -

Here’s link for iso download: puppy-4.2.1-MULTIUSER.iso 101 MB
MD5SUM: puppy-4.2.1-MULTIUSER.iso.md5

Forum thread is here, you can also post feedback there: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=41675

My desktop

Friday, August 28th, 2009

Hey people, these days guys that work on pwidgets (desktop widgets for puppy linux based on conky and using xonclock) announced developmental version 2.5 with new conky and added gauges for displaying usage percent of cpu and memory. Zigbert even put one of my clock skins into pack, thanks very much for that! Anyway after doing some gimping and adjusting some graphics and settings this is how my dpup 476 desktop now looks like 8) (Click for full size)

I also increased slightly jwm taskbar height, so it doesn’t look so thin.
And they say GNU/Linux is not customizable :)

Cheers, Dejan
