Wary 0.9.2 (092) feedback

[upnorth]

snd_pcsp was steeling the show from cs46xx. After I blacklisted the snd_pcsp, everything works fine.

With pfix=ram boot, sound was fine, but with upgrade from -090 to -092, with susequent boots the pcspeaker device was always the default - even after using alsa wizard and multiple sound card wizard and trying other things.

Is good now.

Seamonkey 2.0.9 for Wary 0.9.2 is attached. 16MB.
Compiled from Mozilla stable source in Wary 0.9.2

get it here:

I couldn't get it to build without the Quirky dbus stuff, so that is included in the pet. Should also work in Quirky, but haven't tested it in that as yet.

Thanks to Coolpup and Billtoo for their help with the build.

Fresh frugal install of Wary 092 (2.6.34.6) on the old P3 test box. Working internet and sound on initial boot.
Had the same failure with the Video Upgrade as the live session last night.Used the PPM to download the package..........the only url working was nluug.nl ....probably explains the failure last night.

Testing on the Atom board G945, no direct rendering reported. From xorg.conf:

VendorName "Intel Corporation"
BoardName "82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"

(Fast display is not a big deal for me, actually.)

I tested Huawei modem with info:

T: Bus=01 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=07 Cnt=01 Dev#= 3 Spd=480 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1
P: Vendor=12d1 ProdID=1001 Rev= 0.00
S: Manufacturer=HUAWEI Technology
S: Product=HUAWEI Mobile

and was able to connect via both pgprs and wvdial (too slow data transfer, though, so it could be the fault of my ISP). Device was detected as /dev/ttyUSB0.

We have nVidia X PETs

Hm. It's strange. I tried both the 256... and 195... nvidia pets from PPM but got black screen.
Note that Wary-090 runs fine with nvidia 256-59... on the same machine (ASUS P4S8X-X, NV44a GeForce 6200).

Guys, before I released 0.9.2, I checked OpenOffice and it worked. That was on my netbook.

However, on my main laptop it crashes.

The thing is, do we have a common factor here? Do you have Intel video? That is, you are using the 'intel' X driver -- look in /etc/X11/xorg.conf if you don't know.

How I can used wary 092 with the xorg version 1.4.2 of Wary 030 ?? Thats the only version that works stable for Via CLE266 chip.


Thanks!

Not sure whether this will help, but page two of this thread is serving up garbage this morning and I've lost John's email address.

Certainly Intel video here. (Intel mobile graphics)

I dont know quite why, but bear in mind OpenOffice is just fine on here with the '30 kernel.
Having said that, video performance IS different between the two kernels with '30 seeming slower to redraw the screen.

It appears to be hosed for all threads.

I am using playdayz Go Open Office 3.2.1 and it seems to be working fine.
I'll attach a full hardinfo report to see if anyone can spot any clues, but basically I am running an AMD X2 proccessor with an nforce chipset.

Oh yes, I compiled the very latest nvidia driver too, the one at the repo didn't work for me and was not recommended in the wizard.

See this post for the driver.

I have done some more testing of the OpenOffice crash. Although OO crashes Wary on a clean install it does not crash on an upgrade using warysave.2fs from Wary 070.

So it might be something to do with the way it creates (or not) its .config file. Will grab a .config from a working install and try it.

Nope! Still no go.....

trim the fat button exists no more at all

It is now gone for puppies that are built from PET packages, which is Wary and Puppy 4.x (and earlier). PETs are usually already stripped to the basics, whereas packages from Debian and Ubuntu etc. usually have lots of fat that can be trimmed.

In Wary, you will in the 'puppy-wary5' repo that there are lots of _DOC, _NLS and _DEV PET packages, which are the already-separated components of the original packages.

Both OpenOffice and LibreOffice crash on my system. Video card is ATI Radeon 3450.

Starting from a terminal, output is:

domainname: applet not found.

Have googled around for this but haven't found much. Sounds like a java problem though.

Yet they both run fine with the'30 kernel......

That error is not the problem. I get it but OO continues to load successfully using my warysave.2fs from Wary 070.

I think you may be close to the answer with Java. I had Java unchecked in my 070 warysave file so perhaps on upgrade OO did not look for it and therefore did not cause a crash.

[DaveS]

Tried it with java installed. No better....

[Terryphi]

Tried it with java installed. No better....

I was about to try that having convinced myself that the lack of Java in 092 was the cause of the problem. Expletive!

I don't think it is a kernel issue if I can run OO with an old warysave. I'll try to figure out what I have in it that makes the difference. Library or library version maybe?
