Those newer kernels has switcheroo possibility in kernel, which enables the switching of dual graphics. Handy with these new laptops. If there is aim to use newer kernel, I suggest to enable that in kernel and also rfkill and hibernate. They are lacking in luci 2.6.33.2. I compiled them to my patched kernel but I had quite a struggle with initrd.gz and I still dont know how it should be updated properly after compiling. With try and error I got it working.

I tried the development version of Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat server version when I struggled with problems with my laptop buggy Bios. I checked if newer kernel would help. No chance. Luckily bios update fixed my problems at last. But it was funny to install X and gnome from commandline without really knowing how to do it. The result was probably not the official one but it worked. Switcheroo was not enabled in the version I tried if I remember right.

Glad to hear Mplayer/Pmusic works. If you experience any trouble with my scripts, don't hesitate to shout..... I am sorry that I don't have the resources (at the moment) to help with new gui projects.

Further : copying the lupu_devx_511.sfs to / and renaming it to luma_devx_001.sfs made bootmanager agreeing to load it.
Yes, but I wouldn't bother Karl. In luma there are the binaries from ubuntu 10.10 and in lupu they are from 10.04. Luma-001 is brand new, so the devx will come in due time ;-) Thanks.

pemasu, the switchable kernels are a good idea to explore now. I think it is catdude who said he is already using an older kernel with lupu. Thanks.

Lucid and Woof. In one sense Lucid is and has been a demonstration vehicle for Woof to be able to make a Puppy out of any given set of binaries. It is also a test vehicle for Woof. That is why we will keep applying the latest Woof--and also to get the advancements of each new version of Woof. I do like to freeze things 3 weeks or so before a release, but after the release we are right back with the latest Woof. This is a difference between Lucid and the original dpup, which used Woof once and then worked on that build. IMO that is a good part of the reason that Barry asked Lucid to become Puppy 5. Now if dpup is revived that may or may not be the case again.

Funny questions occur to me. Why would Barry want a Puppy 6 that was not Woof-based? But if there were two Woof-based versions wouldn't they both be 5.2 or 5.5 or whatever because they would both be based on the latest Woof? This has been a possibility from the beginning. Concerning a

Just speculations.

Ah quickpet!

I intend to experiment with generic naming.... that way there will be nothing to update :wink:

It will depend on whatever packages are available in PPM, ie the file /root/.packages/Packages-puppy-lucid-official (or whatever it will be named for mav :wink: )

Posting from mav001 frugal now, no issues with normal setup.

Aqualung runs after installing the extra libs 01micko posted (thanks 8) ) and also this lucid lib:
libmpcdec3_1.2.2-2.1ubuntu1_i386.deb

I just saw that too, but by trying to unmount with a right click in Rox. Maybe we are using an old gtk lib? Possibly Wary's? Just a guess.

Midori and Puppy browsers

#30 Post by yarddog »

playdayz

would it be possible to offer users a choice between midori and puppy browser like you provide in quickpet for the larger browers for more secure internet use

I don't know about other users, but I use Puppy Browser and bareview to run swf games. This works extremely well and does not give little inquisitive minds any reference to the internet if the internet icons have been removed rrom menus

plus it displays all of the welcome stuff without any problems on my machine
hp pent-4, 2.8 ghz, 1 gb memory, intel 82865g graphics controller

I am using the puppy browser lucid 1.1 pet and libgee-20081125-i486.pet
from lucid/luci series

thanks

Who said Barry does "want a Puppy 6 that is not Woof-based"? Who says Barry even wants a Puppy 6?

As far as I can see the speculation about Puppy 6 is just Lobster feeding his incessant need for something to promote besides fish! (No offense, Ed).

My understanding is that Barry is forking Woof to experiment with a simpler naming system. That sounds like a good idea and qualifies as cutting edge development, not mainstream. Barry is using Quirky as the test bed for that development, which is why that fork was created in the first place. I'd be willing to bet that Lobster has extrapolated that information out to a new major release down the track - Puppy 6.

Doing that sort of speculative promotion in the public sections of the forum is counterproductive to the development effort IMHO. I faced the same issues with early 5.x series development while working on 4.2x - people saying why bother with further development of 4.x series if 5.x was just around the corner. I hosed down plenty of developer nervousness over that then too.

Forget it, Larry! Keep going with the eminently worthwhile Upup 5.x versions. In particular, keep Lucid alive and separate in keeping with the LTS nature of its binary compatibility. By all means plan for Maverick Puppy as 5.2 or 5.5 or whatever and leave 6.x where it belongs; in the cutting edge forum of future experimentation.

I hope that helps, mate.

Hi Warren.

I'm staying outa that debate :lol:

I'm quite happy churning out gtkdialog and bash scripts and delving into a bit of C hacking, (mainly to hack source and maybe write some small apps :wink: )

Official or non-Official matters little to me.

Valid points though. (woops!)

Hi all,

damn, you folks are sure working fast, next thing 5.2 will be out and 5.3 in beta

with luma001:

- I get the same set of errors when I try to do a set tray to autohide, but :lol: 01micko's fix sorts that one out :D :oops: HOWEVER, the restart jwm via the menu shutdown didn't "do" it, I had to use the restart jwm button in "jwm configuration" under desktop.

- On the other hand, i'm geting the fd and cd icons appearing behind the drive icons every few reboots, (i'm up to 23 deliberate reboots now,) like they are a second icon row but only half a step above the first.

- Also could we have bluesatin back in the desktop background set please, it's missing.

- on the other hand ff is not "vertically stretching" this time.

- also as a plus, pets with the need to create configs\datasets on first start, are seemingly doing so faster.

back to the testing

regards
scsijon
and ps, as far as Puppy6 is concerned, my impressions so far is that it will be going back to only using T2 with the latest woof's. It is not a competitor in any way with any puppy5. Just working from a different direction. And yes, i'm planning on "playing" with it :lol: as it will be a good learning tool.

:) Really felt for one hour running `mplayer` at the console and downloading there :)

Somehow I couldn't find out to work with `gnome-mplayer` before but adjusting a lot of settings like cache and postprocessing makes Gnome MPlayer now playing music from CD even while connected to internet without stumbling . :D

some error codes were knewn to me like
# mplayer
mplayer: error while loading shared libraries: libx264.so.98: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

but others are new to me like :
# mplayer
mplayer: relocation error: mplayer: symbol ff_codec_wav_tags, version LIBAVFORMAT_52 not defined in file libavformat.so.52 with link time reference


So thanks you very much 01micko for figuring these libs out :D

And for the gtk+2.20.* I`ll stay with the older 2.10.0 atm

Got some goodies that can be ported from the new dpup, playdayz. Just look at the threads, things like DeaDBeeF could do wonders :)

I'll do my best to help on the 5.2 front once dpup 005 is out :wink:
