Lupu008 fresh frugal install. Firefox and Flash seems to work. No crashes. Good job and thanks !!
Cups configuration works but no luck with my printer HP Laserjet 1020. Same errors than previously. I am going to try compile the latest foo2xxx package in Lupu.

Hey pemasu, Did your printer work by any chance in any previous version of Lucid? I ask because most of the previous versions had the foomatic database, about 6MB of printer definitions. Puppy usually does not have it and this version does not have it. I am trying to figure out if it is worthwhile. Thanks.

Announcing the Long-Awaited Lucid Puppy 008! Built anew with Ubuntu binaries of yesterday now April 19 and the latest Woof of April 16. That was a heck of a way to fix the browser crashes but its nice to have a new one.

Installing Firefox in my fresh, frugal install of 008 as I'm posting on a different machine. Firefox is now playing Youtube videos with no problems...............

Great job and thanks for the quick work.

On to more testing.....

Playdayz: My printer worked with most previous Lupu after foo2xxx...pet installation. That package is needed for firmware hotplugin.
I dont remember if I tested or used printer with every version.

@ playdayz,

In regard to your trouble creating a save file with a manual frugal install...........I only do the manual installs and I just made an ext 3 save file here with 008, no problem.All of the other releases I've used ext 2 save files and no problems with any of them.

That sounds like the dreaded libfaad bug.

There's the fix, probably will fix audacity too.

I thought BarryK fixed that in woof April 16 ???

Hi, just wanted to throw a quick thank you and thumbs up. This latest version allows me to pick the right intel driver at boot up which works great.
Got Firefox and Foxit and OpenOffice - installed Java from the binaries. All seems to be working great. Flash is a bit choppy but that's probably my ancient processor. Really pleased.
Thanks,
Jon.

Oh drat. I am sorry. I played some m4as and mp3s with gxine and they played fine so I thought that bug had been fixed in the latest Woof.

Good you reminded us all about this one

Code:
bash-3.00# ln -s /usr/lib/libfaad.so.2.0.0 /usr/lib/libfaad.so.0

Lupu008 works as good as 006 did on streaming audio and video.

No crashes anymore so thanks for all effort you put into this.

Hope you don't see me as nagging of repeating myself.

What could it be with quirky and pupu and Dpup and Upup that makes streaming video choppy and jerky, delayed motions that makes me seasick almost. I refuse to use it. I have to make use of the vesa instead and can not keep the xorg thing. I use quirky 018 daily and like it but the choppy video after xorg is unbearable to me.

We are three having this problem. I am too lazy, I should check up if us three has same computers and if my other computers behave the same.

Maybe tomorrow.

Not at all Nooby. I wish very much that we could fix it. Does it happen in full screen, or even if you have a small video window? Oh, but you said there are some Puppies that work correctly. It will require better minds than mine I am afraid.

Installed Lupuppy 008 onto a usb stick using unetbootin on a Windows machine. Stuck usb into Acer Aspire One, boots ok, looks good.

Installed Firefox. But it has the same problem that I found with dpup- using the side scroll-bar makes the screen break up into horizontal streaks. Uninstalled Firefox, did not try Seamonkey (had the same problem on dpup), and installed Opera. This works fine (so far).

Wifi connected with no bother.

Installed printer drivers from predownloaded deb files on a usb. No problem. Checked whether link from /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb to /opt/samba/bin/smbspool was present- IT ISN'T!! This is needed to set up printing to a printer connected to a Windows machine. Had to:

ln -s /opt/samba/bin/smbspool /usr/lib/cups/backend/smb

All to no avail, because Pnethood (a) somtimes detects the windows computer, but not the share folder or printer or (b) more often says that it can't find any servers.

First the good stuff. I haven't found anything in the menu system that
doesn't work. In fact I am posting this from lupu008 using Opera.

My only problem so far is printing:

Computer 1 - Athlon 1800, asus A7V8X-X mobo, FX5200 graphics 128 meg, 1gig ram,
Epson Stylus Color 400 printer on parallel port.
Run CUPS wizard - it's in the list so select the driver.
Try to print from Abiword - nothing. Look in jobs:
- "/usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftoraster failed"

I'm not trying to print a pdf!

Tried from Geany and just did not print. No message, just "processing since Wed Apr 21 16:22:09 2010".

Computer 2 - Athlon 3000 MSI MS6729 K7N2 mobo, ATI Radeon 9800 graphics 128 meg,
1 gig ram, Canon Pixma MP610 USB printer.
Run CUPS wizard and installed (CUPS + Gutenprint v5.2.5)
Same as above.

A minor?? problem on computer 2 - I can only run xvesa. I get the dark
green problem with xorg. Installing the radeonHD pet made no difference.

FYI both print fine from Puppy 431.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I am worried that we are too few reporting this and then one day we have a Puppy that I can not use due to me having an unusual hardware that is not compatible.

But I feel unpolite that I don't put more effort into it.

I have three old computers to test on and I have two relativly new ones and then two laptops. one of these two is the netbook me have in my sig.

I should test in these first. But lazy is just my first name.

Coming up in 10 minutes - A New Experimental Lucid Puppy 000

Please see the top of the first thread

nooby · #259 Post by **nooby** » Tue 20 Apr 2010, 20:13

Thanks I tested the 000 version and that one have the splitting up when you do fast scrolling using the mouse dragging the most right button_ up and down.

If one use the page down or arrow buttons then it does not split up.

Jerkyness and choppy rendering is gone but that can be accomplished by chosing vesa too in the other lupus.

So how can I find out if this solves it. What did you do

Hahaha it fails to make the keyboard Swedish despite me told it to.

setxkbmap se solves it though.

Lobster · #260 Post by **Lobster** » Tue 20 Apr 2010, 21:01

OK tried Experimental Lucid Puppy Version 000 - using now
it went straight in autorecognizing screen res and is running OK
but it missed my sound card and I had to set this manually.

Tried the radeonHD and that worked OK wi8th this setup - do not know if it is better in any way - need some sort of graphic test maybe with the menu /system /system configuration / hardinfo hardware information
