MinHundHettePerro
The mods worked in the sense that the 2 optical drives were ejected but there was additional error messages which I don't understand. Any idea what's the cause and how to fix?

Ejecting CD's...Remove the medium, then press [Enter]:

On pressing the Enter key, these lines are displayed:
udev[1654]: delete_path: rmdir(/dev/.udev/failed) failed: Read-only file system
udev[1654]: delete_path: rmdir(/dev/.udev/failed) failed: Read-only file system
udev[1654]: delete_path: rmdir(/dev/.udev/queue) failed: Read-only file system
Remove the medium, then press [Enter]:

I press the Enter key and the first drive closes, the second opens and these are displayed (again).
udev[1654]: delete_path: rmdir(/dev/.udev/failed) failed: Read-only file system
udev[1654]: delete_path: rmdir(/dev/.udev/failed) failed: Read-only file system
udev[1654]: delete_path: rmdir(/dev/.udev/queue) failed: Read-only file system

acpid
exiting

After wiping the .2fs and re-installing Quirky, I modified /etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown again. On subsequent shutdown attempts, practcally the same result, difference being there is now udev[1676] or some other numbers each time.

puppeee seems to have glxgears by default.

In Quirky PPM there was no glxgears when I did a search.

Is it a Pet that one download from some third source?

I had 1500 on puppeee when tested on my Acer D250 and would be cool to test what it is like when using Q120 and Lupu 508.

I still don't know enough but a bit more.

http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=01564

Barry mention his NVidia pet and GLX gears may be part of that one.

or one can go to PPM and do Mesa install and edit ....

Playdayz did have it (GlxGears) in Lupu, but there was some trouble so took it out. He might provide a PET package later if anyone wants to add it.

With Quirky 1.0, you should be able to add GLX by running the Puppy Package Manager and install the 'mesa' PET package, from the 'puppy-quirky' repository (use Search to find it).
Then edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change "Disable "glx"" to "Load "glx"".
...then cross your fingers and restart X.

...if GLX still fails, look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log for clues.


I don't really need it I just wanted to have something to compare different ditros and different graphics drivers how they behave.

What else can one use that are not very subjective like perceived jerkiness in rendering?

Those error messages come from udevd, complaining about /dev/.udev/xx being read-only. My naïve layman's view on this is that there cannot be any harm in killing the udev daemon at the very end of the shutdown-process (someone more knowledgeable, please, correct me if I'm wrong).
Inserting the line marked in red

1028 touch /etc/mtab
1029 killall -9 udevd
1030 # eject all
1031 if [ "$DETECTEDCDS" ]; then
into /etc/rc.d/shutdown ejects my CD/DVD without error messages.

DISCLAIMER: I'm no expert whatsoever, just a layman kind of average tinkerer, so no guarantee that it will work in all situations Wink.

Why use nvidia drivers, they are huge and not open-source ?

missing xorg fonts directories : /usr/X11R7/lib/X11/fonts/OTF, 100dpi, 75dpi
solution : created them and inside did mkfontdir

why not having dhcpcd at startup ?

Why is /usr/X11R7/lib/dri empty ? Why not include dri ?

I installed mesa-7.8.1-s131.pet
DRI is installed in directory /usr/X11R7/lib/xorg/modules/dri
Default directory is /usr/X11R7/lib/dri
So I created symlink and DRI works.
ps : I get only 1800 at glxgears, it's bad.

It is not important to me to have glx gears. I have Omellette and that one can be used to compare different distros.

But would be cool to know what goes wrong when I only got 1500 on my Acer D250.

Ohters get over ten times better? So in that way glx gears would be cool.

I din't dare to use Mesa, it could change something else so I lose what has taken me some 8 months to slowly build up.

Sure I could do a whole new install with other name and there install Mesa Hmm

nooby you can install it from livecd so you don't lose anything.
glxgears is not a benchmark but you can compare with other distros on the same pc.

This is fantastic. All my Compaq C61 hardware works. To install on older machines, I replaced ondemand cpu scaling with conservative, due to temperature warnings. Fine now.

Quirky 1.2 is FAST! Couldn't find Abiword,..but added Ted (works great). Looking for Nvidia Legacy driver for Quirky,...and maybe Java. (but not sure if I really need either one). Smile
EDIT: Did a re-install of Quirky 1.2,...and Abiword is there (guess I just did something wrong with the original install). Everything OK now. Smile

seamonkey should be /usr/lib/seamonkey/seamonkey
and not in /usr/bin which looks for wrong libraries
