I reported some time ago that when I run Lupu (or Dpup) on my Acer Aspire 1, with both Firefox and Seamonkey the screen breaks into horizontal streaks when I use the mouse and the scroll bar to scroll quickly up or down. Opera works ok.
I thought this might be confined to the AA1, but I have now tried Lupu 500 on my desktop, Intel Celeron 600MHz, 256MB ram, and get the same effect.
I've never had this effect before with other Puppies, and it is only with FF and Seamonkey- Opera is OK.

This is a very minor point but isn't it about time somebody looked at the text displayed when the welcome bar is clicked and edit it. It seems to have been the original version with simply the puppy version changed.

It still refers to a closed sourced app, which as far as I am aware last appeared in a Puppy 1 version (or perhaps even earlier).

More importantly it says Barry is the developer of Lucid when he isn't!

In short and main... As my attempt to using Lupu 5 under Asus eeePC 900.

1. The Alsa supported not some sound card (haven't any sounds). Also please see my post here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=419482#419482
(ALL oldest Puppy from 4.2 to 4.84 true recognize and play sound card of my eeePC 900 "in box" !!!)

2. Tray Applet says: "Battary charging: capacity = 1%" But I use my eeePC by Power only and AC has 100% energy! -- other OS indicate it true. Also please see my post here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=419218#419218

And next pp.3,4 describes situation, who I see on my Desktop PC or Netbook, i.e. hardware not depended.

3. I confirm that /etc/X11/xorg.conf file haven't section "InputDevice" for keybord definition... On this can be problems for adding new (additional) layouts for other languages. See my post please: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=419236#419236

4. After any manipulation for SFS can be black screen without desktop' icons for next start Puppy. See also here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=419218#419218 (On p.4)

It's my first testing Lupu500 (as frugal install on two PC) at time about two days... On Desktop PC I can use it, but not for my netbook... Sad

UPD:
5. The LuPu 5 has very long timeout, about 15-20 seconds or more, for restart or shutdown PC (or restart X too) -- it's have been between pressing Restart/shutdown buttons and closing X (i.e. put to black screen for displaying "saving ..." message). Any oldest Distros haven't this long timeout! It's strange behavior for closing X...

6. After saving lupusave-xxx.3fs file (if I use ext3 format for it) at shutdown OS trow a message: "Journal commit I/O error", but it's presents for NTFS filesystem on Hold Drive only (used for Frugal Install). However, I find not any errors on this filesystem or dangerous situations for my /root data for about two days using this OS as experiment...

Tried to set up my HP P1006 printer by installing the plugin PET the running the plugin installer. What follows was the result - any ideas as to what it is telling me, please?

gparted is working properly, displaying uuids here.
one thing different is that i dropped in /sbin/blkid obtained from elsewhere.
anyone with quirky could copy its /sbin/blkid to /sbin. it might help gparted.

OK, after a couple of tries I need some guidance.

When I rebooted it failed to save the display settings so I had to boot from CD again. Sad

How do I force it to boot into VESA mode until I figure out the XORG?

I am using Lucid Puppy 5.00 ( full install HDD), However, I regret to inform you that I am not able to use Chromium-browser due to lack of Internet connectivity. As I am getting internet through HTTP Proxy. However, I am not able to setup proxy setup option under Chromium browser. This software option is NOT opening for providing proxy value. Any other methods to enable this option in Chromium.

In quirky, I managed to connect internet in Google Chrome by creating an bin extension fie. The contents of the file is given below:-

http://200.200.200.5:6588
Https://200.200.200.5:6588

However, this methods also fails in Chromium-browser in Lucid Puppy. Looking forward your solution.

Dougals remaster script (latest version) borks the package manager. I dont know how to fix it but the work around is to back up the hidden directory /root/.packages before remaster, then restore from the back up after. (you can use renaming instead if you wish).

@rameshiyer
this is the option that needs to be passed to chromium-browser:
--proxy-server=host:port
or
--proxy-pac-url=
or
--proxy-auto-detect

See if you have /etc/chromium-browser/default
example
