I hope some of the features introduced in the Lucid series get into the final version.
Me too :)

OK... fresh download, frugal install, save file created, no other software added, just locales set etc. Confirm.. changing icon set via desktop menu, restart X, some menu icons missing. Repeat process, MORE icons missing.

I'm gonna have to ask Barry what's up with this...

Image

That's what we are using for PPPoe from the "common" repo, note size

Image

..and the 2 package sin the quirky repo.

rp_pppoe_cli-3.8-patched2-2-p4.pet is what we previously used from quirky repo..before the common repo existed.. I think wuwei you could connect with that.

:?

bigpup. .. sorry you feel that way.. I guess it's jwm... aarf has suggested I change the menu button, will be done but I'm sticking with JWM, provided Joe fixes the pixman bug, reported by zigbert. I have faith :) . Other wms will be in PPM. I saw Sage doesn't like seamonkey on the other thread. All well and good, there are plenty of installable browsers. Note that we are on the cutting edge with a lot of stuff in this version, all reasonably stable too.

Lobster, what do you mean about "nothing" with alsamixer? Did it show? Could you change values? I gather you still have no sound. Did you bump the physical connection?

Dave.. try this pet, http://distro.ibiblio.org/quirky/pet_pa ... .34-w5.pet

I originally did think it may have been Barry's new netpbm.

Sorry [dunce cap back on]
Alsamixer ran but there was nothing obvious to change or add
- everything looked OK. I could change values. Changed a few . . .
Still no sound.
When you say bump - you mean injure?
No I don't think so.
Gonna do another 'puppy pfix=ram' and get sound
then gonna see what Gates it [Gates it = make unworkable, from 'to
Bill Gates a computer'] :wink:

Onward :)

Thanks Micko I am in Slacko beta now but reusing the pupsave file that allowed me to keep the 1024 x 768 resolution.

terminal says.
# report-video
VIDEO REPORT: Slacko Puppy, version 4.99.1

Chip description:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

Driver used by Xorg:
intel

Video mode used by Xorg:
Resolution: "800x600
800x600" Depth: Depth 24

...the above also recorded in /tmp/report-video
#


But it does show 1024 x 768 resolution on the screen and Hardware information show that too. see graphics of that one.

Imagined, :) It was in PPM, but not now as I was going to get the latest but forgot. :oops: All radkes latest will be going into PPM, along with zigbert's DuDE. EDIT.. pupclockset-1.2 is in PPM :)

Nooby, thanks for info, I was concerned the driver may be vesa, but intel is ok for your HW. Many resolutions should be possible. You can install "mesa" if you like in PPM and slickpet, (note preferences are broken in slickpet) as is all the stuff bigpup said. Translations will need updating too.

Dave, reported to Barry, see blog. Obviously the netpbm was failing before X started for you if you needed a reboot. (all of that stuff runs in /etc/rc.d/rc.update.. just FYI :wink: )


Lobster, I was hoping to resolve your issue.. and I think I can fix it. In 10alsa script you posted you will see the comments I made. The "

Code: Select all

set 'Master Front' 75% unmute
set 'Master Front' -12dB 
" need to be added to other alsa scripts, I think that would have solved your issue... oh well too late now :) . This is what beta is all about I guess.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Also, everybody.. I think gui_ziggy is better for default in PPM... agreed?

Hello :)!

Maybe too early on to mention these minor rough spots :).

Here goes, anyway. On with the polishing;

Last line of the pinstall-script in mesa-7.9.2.pet says
See the Menu>Shutsown"
.

-------------------

Commenting two offending lines in /root/.jwm/jwmrc-personal
<!--Key keycode="117">yourscript</Key>
<Key keycode="115">yourscript</Key-->
makes

Code: Select all

# jwm -p
exit without errors.

Half-BrokenDale has been mostly behaving itself :) (there was one occurence of lost menu text after running fixmenus).

Still have the X flashy thing of course. Enable xcompmnger, move a desktop icon, or drag a file from one Rox window to another and screen flashes. No amount of fiddling with xcompmger switches stops it.

This is what beta is all about I guess.


Ah good news your end. :)
Also . . . I booted up into Vesa - sound working
- sound persistent between boots
(already ahead of Lucid in that respect, time wise)
Added ATI and Flash - sound still working . . .

Keeping my eye on that green sound icon bottom right
and my ears open . . .

Now that I have sound
I am heading to phase 2 of my masterplan
[details soon] :wink:
