Hopefully, someone will prepare some pets for this for the nvidia drivers.

Thanaks,

Jim, pemasu has a nvidia pet for this kernel up on his site. I tried it but crashed my system... not badly someone who knows what they are doing could probable have recovered. I lost my keyboard and couldn't get it back. good luck.

The only Nvidia pet I saw was NVIDIA-x86-260.19.44-2.6.38.2snow.pet ....if that's the one you installed it's the wrong kernel version.......Ice Puppy now has 2.6.38.4......
HTH.

Kernel is freshly compiled 2.6.38-4 intel atom optimization low latency highmem+pae kernel.
Qt4 applications so far QtWebbrowser, Arora web browser, Smplayer, latest Umplayer, Juffed, Qwriter, Qx11grab, Handbrake, Scribus, EasyImageSizer, Screengrab. Separately you can add VLC 1.10, Mscore, Lmms or those Qt apps which are around forum. Mostly they have needed Qt libs included so I have tested some of them by removing those Qt libs. That way Billtoos VLC shrink from 42 mb to 8 mb and still worked. I made new sfs of it.
And also most stuff from IcePuppy/SnowPuppy, with good and bad.
It will be my OS anyway so no sized down Puppy, there are so many of them around anyway.
Pemasu, looks like I'm not the only one who's going on 36+hours with 2 hours sleep. they say it's not the destination but the trip that is important, stop and smell the roses....I hate roses.

Pemasu, would any of the above drivers work?

Fresh frugal test install of Ice Puppy-014. I installed the above jre pet and after that my java application acpi tool gui started ok, also Angry Ip worked and scanned my network.

So for me that jre pet works. People with previous jre, I suggest to remove your previous jre installations and test the above jre pet or sfs.
Separate application over 10 mb, I have tendency to use as sfs.

Works

Code: Select all

sh-4.1# java -version
java version "1.6.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_25-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 20.0-b11, mixed mode, sharing)

sh-4.1# java
Usage: java [-options] class [args...]
           (to execute a class)
   or  java [-options] -jar jarfile [args...]
           (to execute a jar file)

where options include: ... 
Thanks for this addition. You are a master in understanding a specific area and addressing it! This is truly a premier effort that comes from you.

I have appealed to 01Micko for any knowledge he may have on problems with QuickPET, as, he may know something to help.

Hope this helps.
P.S. I find it hard to believe you are just one person. You have 3 distros simultaneously helping this community. Wow! My hat's nod to you for this contribution. The automation in yuor factory has to be enormous. Thanks Pemasu.

I now will turn my head to do some systems testing for you on Polar.

I understand your preference.

For me, the I prefer PETs as the vehicle to adding functionality to my Live media environment. This is because after adding various useful item while running a Puppy session, i can shutdown and have Puppy save all work for me back to the Live media. This save-session (a point-in-time backup) allow my PC to restart at the point I left off. I am aware of other Puppy mechanism for doing this (frugal-full), but my preference is to maintain the OS on an off-line rewrite media for many good reason. I have not found SFSs to offer this kind of flexibility for Live media. And on reboots, I have to restart SFS load tools to use meet the application requirements I need.

Your PET(s) work extremely well. The size advantage is of NO meaning to me as the running RAM OS nowhere closely saturates my system memory. And, with SWAP on an USB/HDD, I have NEVER been able to saturate my PUPs....not yet.

Thanks PEMASU for your work in changing the performance definition, positively, for all of us in the community who have used your contributions.

Gcmartin. Thank you of clarification why even big pets are needed. I tend to forget different needs with CD usage which is also Puppies strong property.

In your case the command should be PATH=/mnt/home/java/bin:$PATH
I went to the directory where the ipscan-linux-3.0-beta5.jar is and issued

Code: Select all

java - jar ipscan-linux-3.0-beta5.jar
and the application did run.
