B-5:

Same graphic problem with B-5 as previous versions, my SiS graphics just won't give me the 1440x900 resolution. Just keeps defaulting to 1224x1224 and won't take a correct. I even tried installing SiS packages from other puppys where I get the 1440x900 without problems, that doesn't work either?

For testing

TOR-Browser Bundle

Complete with Firefox 7.0.1

Anonymous web browsing

ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/puppylinux/pet_packages-slacko/tor-browser-2.2.33-2-slacko.pet

It seems to not work unless the hardware clock is accurately set to UTC. Desktop -> Country settings -> Psync

For some reason it does not work with the browser in full screen--see message below.

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

Pburn 3.4.0 just crashed in writing an iso image to disc--the iso of B5++. The screen froze and I had to CTRL-Alt-BS. It finished the disc and crashed right after the "BurnFree was never needed" message.

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

Booting B5++ from CD, it automatically grabbed the slackosave.2fs from the 2.6.37.6 B5. One needs to boot pfix=ram to avoid that.

hi all

playdayz, the new tor keeps freezing, but your earlier tor pets dont have this problem (time is set to utc) will keep trying.

try pburn 3.4.1 as I have not had the freezing with this version (thanks zigbert)

hope this helps

edited to add: freezing seems only to be happening in fullscreen mode, I am posting this edit from the new tor

hi all

@Playdayz: I posted the edit to my last post as you were posting

the new tor seems to be working fine as long as I dont run it fullscreen

I have ran Psync and my time zone is set to utc

it was b5 that I tested the previous versions

hope this helps

In B++ the ati fglrx driver seems to work fine on my HD 3850.

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

There was some weirdness in creating the save file on first boot from CD. Some code showed up on one screen during the save process and I also saw a quick modprobe fatal error message." However, the save file was created and it worked on reboot.

tried the tor pet on B5++ and initially it connected but opened to about 3/4 screen. clicking to full screen would open to full display then clicking a link it appeared to stall. clicking to change full view to partial revealed the destination page.

tor's version of ff is only that OOB saving cookies is disabled otherwise it's the same iirc.

noticed b5++ does not save multi-sound card selection even after reboot and even after closing gnome-mplayer and clicking on another movie need to re-input audio output.

Hi Sigmund,

I appreciate your lib hunting, however at this late stage I am not changing anything, unless it's a bug.

I have severe unexpected time constraints approaching and I can't spend time on recompiling mplayer, gnome-mplayer and such.

Hopefully a future release can exclude mplayer and offer a full featured version in the repo. At the moment though there is no other program small enough to play DVDs, maybe ffplay will get that capability. Actually, you can play a dvd in ffplay but it's tricky.

BTW, pburn-3.4.1 seems fine to me, no X crashes yet, and IIRC Jim1911 reports success copying a DVD, he didn't mention though if he shrank it.

Stripe and DaveS, I reported the lack of unsquashing to Barry, I'm positive it's woof, however I can fix it if it's not. A bit later, not at my machine ATM.

-

Playdayz, thanks for tor package and testing radeon in 5++. I'll package latest JWM soon to see if that is any remedy for FS issues.

-

Indian - sorry mate, haven't got a driver for you yet, stay tuned, I'll PM you when I have one.

-

Charlie, I haven't studied your siliconmotion issue yet, will do today, fix will likely be included.

-

Transmission will likely be dumped from Slickpet in favour of TOR, this has been my idea for awhile and there is a comment in the Slickpet en_US lang file to translate this, LOC_TOR. The transmission on the iso is a tiny older version, it works ok, the one in Slickpet (to be PPM) requires libevent. I'll post this info in the Slickpet translation thread.

Woof is due today or tomorrow. I'll be very busy with Puppy until Friday, maybe Saturday, then I'm out of town (work) for at least 8 days. I might borrow a laptop for this time and get a new 3G modem, (mine is non-working after 4 years ).

Cheers

had gnome-mplayer paused for ~30-40-min then crashed needing to restart with xwin. noted seg fault report attached.

That's the fix for squash.. (appears to be my bad )

[however.. ]

For woofers..

One thing.. it looks like my bad, however there is a potential woof conflict.. the "name only" fields in Packages-puppy-common official are identical for mksquash4 and mksquash4.2.
