Hi everyone
My first post.
Just done a frugal install of 528 to my IBM A21M, 500mb ram and 700MHz processor. Its looking very slick, certainly feels faster than 525 especially web browsing with Seamonkey installed.
However I could not get my Atheros AR5008 wireless pcmcia card working straight away. I copied /lib/modules/2.6.33.2/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath folder from 525 to 528 and it worked just brilliant after a reboot.
Thanks very much for the new puppy!

Anyone experiencing trouble with google chrome?
I can't find the original command installing put in 'defaultbrowser' file as set default browser program seem to just put:-
Code: | exec <browser_name> "$@" |
regardless of browser.
Anyhow, I've tried running Chrome from the commandline, here is what I get-
Code: | sh-4.1# exec chrome-linux
sh: exec: chrome-linux: not found |
or
Code: | sh-4.1# /usr/lib/chrome-linux/chrome
Illegal instruction |
Any ideas ?

Subject description: Intel i3 CPU laptop with Intel onboard making life hard for Nvidia |

Hi
i was trying to impress people with 528 and im having trouble installing nvidia drivers on a Intel i3 laptop. On first boot xorgwizard shows Intel as the driver and the resolution 1360*768 works flawless. But this laptop has a better nvidia gpu on it. The onboard intel gpu is not dissabled when i install nvidia drivers. Resulting in failing to load x after i have installed the drivers.
Is there way to solve this ?
best regards
Einar

darkcity,
The command for chrome should be found in the .desktop file
Does anyone know if playdayz is planning a follow-up lucid pup after this version, or has he handed over the torch to 01micko?

Which directory is the .desktop file in?
Also, I believe I have the right command but chrome won't start.
Isn't playday working on slakko?

Run Quickpet
Go to drivers tab
Run "click here to test your graphics card"
What does it say about your graphics card?

darkcity, Is it this google_chrome pet that you have installed. It is the one I prepared and it is the only one I know anything about.
When you install the pet, then the browse icon will start google_chrome, also there is an entry int he menu under Internet. Plus there is an entry in /usr/bin as well as the google_chrome.desktop file in /usr/share/applications..
This is experimental but it has been working for me. It does 2 things--first, it makes the newer chromium based browsers work without the pinwheel of death problem with loading, and second, it lets Seamonkey and other gecko based browsers work when installed along with the Chromium browsers.
1. First, please uninstall any Iron, Chromium, or Chrome pets.
2. Second, install this libgconf2-4_3.1.6 pet.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet-packages-lucid/libgconf2-4_3.1.6.pet
3. Then install one or more of these Iron 13, Chromium 15 or Google Chrome 13 pets.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet-packages-lucid/Iron-13-lucid528.pet
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet-packages-lucid/Chromium-15-Lucid.pet
http://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet-packages-lucid/Google_Chrome-13-Lucid.pet
Please use only these pets--definitely do not use the pets for Slacko.

We have had 7 releases, Whew! Next up is Slacko--I am helping a little but others are doing all the real work.
There will be an Instant Update for Lucid 5.2.8 Finlandia in a couple of weeks.
There will also be an update to Three-Headed Dog in a couple of weeks--that will be an iso.

it says that i had a nvidia 6800 series, but the card is the newer GT310. but i think it will not load the driver because the intel is selected first somehow. any suggestions ?

einar,
Did you try disabling the onboard video card in the BIOS setup? Or perhaps it may give options for "first video device" or some such similar? If this is necessary I would think you'd have the same problem in Windows, do you know if you do? Good luck!

I have been unable to get any of the Chrome, Chromium or Iron pets to run on my Athlon XP box or my old P3 test box. If tried from the terminal I generally get.....

No problem on P4's, etc. though.I don't really like Chrome but I've made my own pets that do work.Pretty old version so no real reason to upload though.

Guess I'll have to correct myself.Chrome may not have worked in the past on my old Athlon XP but now it does. Followed the instructions here http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=555500#555500 and now Chrome works. Lucid 528 live pfix=ram.
Must have been the libgconf2-4_3.1.6 pet. ....

It took some experimentation, but they are working for me now--I have tried to replace the pets that didn't work--but it is definitely the libgconf pet that makes it happen. And a really odd thing is that I also tried to use the entire gconf 3.16--and the problem came back!
The story is that when I made the pets for Slacko I noticed I had to include libgconf (from Slackware). That pet then worked to eliminate the Loading problem in Lucid but it screwed up Seamonkey--so I just tried the newest Ubuntu libgconf and there we go--Chrome and Seamonkey both seem to be happy.

This is the first Chrome,Chromium or Iron pet to work on this box.Already installed Chrome on my full install of 528 and all appears to be working correctly.Posting from Chrome right now.

Playdayz,
Here is a problem with getting connected with a Broadcom wireless controller.
The problem is a normal issue, but the solution is a bit strange.
