Has anyone managed to get Frisbee to work with Wary 5.1.1?
Right now I am using the small version with Kernel 2.6.32.28.

What does the xpupsay pet do? I'm working on the wikka page for Frisbee.

xpupsay is for the onscreen dialogs

Hello,
I am currently preparing the next version Edutainment Francophone Puppy (Toutou Edux/ASRI Edu).

I use Puppy 525 Lucid and Frisbee.

My problem:
- I notice frequent disconnect/reconnect network
- This results in the appearance of a first xpupsay that informs connection is lost, a 2nd xpupsay informs that DHCP server has reconnected

This comportrement is not practical because the screen is regularly occupied by the xpupsay.

Have you ever seen this behavior (disconnect/reconnect) with Frisbee?
Do you have a track resolution?

Sincerely,

(sorry if my English is understandable, I translated with Google)

Apparently the dhcpcd that frisbee recommended - is for Fluppy/Puppeee not Puppy5 see the following thread.

Hello Darkcity, thanks for your answers.

One more precision.

ethernet or wifi : the problem is the same (frequent disconnect/reconnect network).

That is quite strange that you get interruption to ethernet. Might be worth posting a question in Hardware networking sub-forum.

Reconnects of Frisbee are a known bug. (See puppeee linux forum). I use Frisbee on puppeee linux 44 RC2 and experience the same (WIFI).
Jemimah was working on that when she decided to take a brief holiday. It has become a long holiday, so the problem may be severe...LOL.

I'm not dead - I just ran out of steam. The good news is I've lost 20 pounds and got a bit of a tan. Very Happy

Great news, Frisbe is a great app.
