I installed SDL pet and libgl* debs and I get this when I want to run some games:
Code: | # ./neverball
X11 driver not configured with OpenGL |
I compiled neverball on dpup beta4 it worked good, after installing sdl and glx/dri on beta5 it doesn't run with that message.
EDIT: Also with other games installed from debian:
Code: |
# torus-trooper
Error: Unable to create SDL screen: X11 driver not configured with OpenGL
# briquolo
BRIQUOLO v0.5.7
SDL tells that the following fullscreen resolutions are available:
1600x1024 1440x900 1280x1024 1280x960 1152x864 1024x768 800x600

Beta5 will be the last Dpup(non-retro kernel) to have Xvesa support, we will be moving to generic vesa in Xorg, as per all major distros...
The retro kernels when released will still have Xvesa.
Cheers |
That should make it easier to run in VirtualBox.

Has this problem been reported before...I certainly haven't had any problems unmounting at shutdown....has anyone else had this problem... |
Yeah, this one is a pain, and as Béèm said, it appears when you do an fsck. I put pfix=fsck in my kernel line in grub's menu.lst, in my usual frugal installs so fsck checks file integrity every startup, and is constantly reporting unclean shutdowns. I did not do this with Dpup test installs , however, so forgot to mention it here.
Also as Béèm says, it's been around for most puppies since, I believe, 4.x.
One workaround a user reported was to use the kernel switch PMEDIA=ataflash even on a hard drive instead of the more usual PMEDIA=satahd or idehd. This one does cleanly close. However, it has the disadvantage that you can lose work between the periodic automatic saves if power drops out.
It would be great to actually solve this problem, if that's possible. It creates an insecure feeling about shut-downs for me. Even if pfix=fsck corrects things.
EDIT that's ataflash, not usbflash

hello from beta5 |
|
firstrun frugal experience:
* numlock is deactivated
* setting firstrun use wbar
* apply settings -> immediate(!) x server restart; that was a little unexpected and killed my running firefox
* ok, icons are gone from desktop, but wbar doesnt show up
* doing a reboot, writing to savefile
* icons are back again, no wbar
next i'll check apt support

I got this in several puppies already.
Can't remember them all, but the latest case was with upup476.
Haven't checked for a dpup yet. |
Booted up beta5, opened no programs, shutdown, got an not cleanly unmounted when I checked the partition that has the pup save.
My hard drive is a bit different, shows up as sda instead of hda even in older linuxes that usually see hard drives as hda.
If I go to archlinux instead of running e2fsck, archlinux says the same thing, checks the hard drive, pauses for 15 seconds, and reboots

Numlock not on by default here either.

* rerunning first launch client; enabling wbar a second time, some behaviour as first time
* wbar appeared somewhen inbetween
* installing stuff via package manager to get the aqualung (debian version) running
* missing 1 dependency sth. like libavcodec5.ko
* starting to update the repository contents
* getting a dead X-server ; here a bit from the xorg log
Code: |
Fatal server error:
lockup
...
Ring end
space: 130724 wanted 131064
FatalError re-entered, aborting
lockup
|
and here is the rest http://pastebin.ca/1694567
* being dropped out, going with alt+ctrl+1 to console and start xwin, but that won't help
* reboot..
* icons AND wbar are here
that dying x server i already got with beta-4, but then i had thought i had fumped up my configuration there.
so, not too lucky with beta-5 on this machine ( fujitsu lifebook, p1510-d that is )

new to liniux - previous post went to wrong place
hopefully this one will be to correct location
just downloaded and began using dpupbeta5 and encountered the following problems
control panel - opens from wbar however none of the items under user settings, hardware, drives and misc work. I changed from pcp3 to pcp2 and all now work except Add/Remove under user settings
Gnumeric - when click on format cells, program immediately closes
Console - when opened, tabs and view buttons in top left of screen do not work
please bear with me as I am x windoze user

I tried doing an ext2 file system chck of the Dpupdave file from Puppy 4.3.1 scsi and got a message saying it did not recognize the dpupsave file as being an ext2 file system. and to try some block something on it.
I am dumb when it comes to that, so I left it alone.
All of us have been using e2fsck or fsck to check our pupsaves and partitions.
Does it work correctly with later file formats such as ext3 and ext4 file systems?
Has anyone ever asked or just assumed it did??

Yes - clicking on icon images = not working
you can click on text and they work
I believe Guy is in the process of rewriting this from Pascal to C++
so a bug

Are there many of you I wonder . . .
Guy and team Dpup
Beautiful work
Clean screen and wbar - it is SimplePup again - hooray!
I burnt to a CD (normally I use a DVD-RW but will pass on this copy)
The dpup.sfs was slow to load on initial startup but I would expect improves after save or HDinstall. Anyway it is a big file and worth the extras included.
Been playing with sound - no luck with drec or mhedit
but I do like drec
- tutorials will be so easy
