I ran into problems with it Karl. Here is a scan of a document printed from Slacko and Racy (patched). You can see some of the characters in the Racy section (the upper one) are garbled.

I dont know, but I guess there is some way to tell Puppy to use another font when the required font is not on the system, something like verdana=sans.
I suspect this may be missing for Arial, but dont know where to look. Advice please.

There def seems to be a problem with fonts in Racy. Here is a screenshot of a tiny little .doc file using Arial font. As can be seen, it is scrambled. Every other Puppy on my system, including Wary, can display this file.
Somewhere there has to be a file that tells Puppy what to use when a specified font is absent. My guess this file is either absent, or does not contain a reference to Arial, but I dont know where to look.

Dave,
Just a hunch.
Barry has a new thing in woof that sets minimum font size. Maybe adjusting that and resetting the gtkrc fontsize will cure that issue, both printing and abiword.

No luck.... BUT.... all the font aliassing info seems to be in /etc/fonts. Comparing the contents of this dir with the one in Slacko shows a major re-write, so I swapped them out. Deleted /etc/fonts, and installed the one form Slacko, and, I'll be Damned.... it fixed it!
So far, nothing broke

while reporting trouble of un/mounted drives in puppyinstaller I didn't looked closer, sorry. That's not the problem, but puppyinstaller script breaks in Racy when going "CONTINUE" on my test machines:
Code: | # ./puppyinstaller
** ERROR **: gtkdialog: Error in line 1, near token '(null)': syntax error
aborting...
./puppyinstaller: line 589: [: too many arguments
** ERROR **: gtkdialog: Error in line 1, near token '(null)': syntax error

Some changes....?

I think that is fixed.

scsijon wrote: | 4/ I have a savefile problem for you!
I usually clone a duplicate install onto a second partition so I can "play" with one while keeping the other pristine for both comparison and cleanup. ie the content of /sda1/racy101 is copied to /sda2/racy101. They each contain the same named savefile and have their own menu lines in grub.
Normally when I boot one of the two up I get a "select list" asking me to pick which savefile to use, but not in this case, it's using the first from /sda1/racy101 in all cases unless I change the name of the savefile in one of them. It seems / looks like that racy101 can't diferentiate between savefile partitions if the directories are the same name. |
It is not a matter of "can't differentiate", it was a deliberate design decision, requested by forum member Beem.

I fixed it. I edited /etc/fonts/conf.avail/30-metric-aliases.conf.

Racy 5.1.110 (5.2 beta2) is released:
http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02570
Hopefully this has fixed most things posted about in this thread.
It also has the new Quick Setup, but you will only see that if you start without a prior save-file.

Racy Puppy 5.1.110 (5.2 beta2 - 27 Oct 2011) |
|
I did a manual frugal install.
First boot to desktop but resolution was wrong so I chose the video
upgrade option and restarted X.
I chose probe and the proper resolution and it installed the nouveau
driver.
Racy Puppy, version 5.1.110 on Thu 27 Oct 2011
Chip description:
0.0 VGA compatible controller
nVidia Corporation Device 1082 (rev a1)
oem: NVIDIA
product: GF110 Board - 12630002 Chip Rev
X Server: Xorg
Driver used: nouveau
X.Org version: 1.11.0
dimensions: 1920x1080 pixels (507x285 millimeters)
depth of root window: 24 planes
Rebooted creating save file.
===============================================================================
I wanted to install the proprietary nvidia driver (for games) so I found
nouveau.ko with Pfind and deleted it, changed the menu.lst entry to
pfix=nox and rebooted.
I installed the nvidia driver and ran xorgwizard and chose nvidia then
xwin to get back to the desktop.
I changed the menu.lst entry back to what it was.

I think I should have skipped the video upgrade option and just installed the
proprietary driver after creating the save file and installing the
devx and kernel source sfs files.

Code: | unionfs: new lower inode mtime (bindex=1, name=3.0.7)
unionfs: new lower inode mtime (bindex=1, name=etc)

Unable to connect to internet. My Broadcom wifi not detected. Tried loading module... fail
EDIT: re-install, was able to load module. Survived re-boot, but no auto-detection.

Racy 5.1.110 (5.2 beta2) |

Well done Barry!!!!
Racy 5.1.110 (5.2 beta2)
Auto configed everything on boot... correct graphics (1440x900), sound was there, internet connection was there and ready to go... Never had a pup do all that before, not to mention I have intel SIS graphic card on an old (probably 10 to 15 years old) PIII which I had no problems on startup with (most other puppy's gave me a headache and a half with) and the new 307 Kernel works really great and is FAST on this old box.
I know you favor Seamonkey Browser and it's really a pretty good browser however, after trying them all, Iron (for clarity, speed and overall performance) and I for one would like to see a .pet available for Racy with Iron-14? I tried the Iron-14's for Slacko and Luci but they don't even fire up, at all...
Most other regular programs work good so far, will test more!
Overall, I'd say you are going to have a real 'winner' here!!!!!
>>>---Indian------>
PS: My little 'Cloud .pet' installed and works great in Racy.

Hi Barry,
I’ve been trying your latest Racy that uses the 3.0.7 kernel. It’s working fine although I’ve run into two problems.
1. Bootmanager will not operate if the frugal installation is located on an ext4 partition that has more than 6 sfs files. I got the following message when running it in a console and trying to choose which sfs files to load. I tried it again with a frugal installation on an ext4partition that had only 5 sfs files and it works fine.
# bootmanager
/usr/sbin/bootmanager: eval: line 236: syntax error near unexpected token ‘(‘
/usr/sbin/bootmanager: eval: line 236: ‘pupdialog --helpwindow “/tmp/bootmanager_help_sfs” --backtitle “Choose which SFS files are to be loaded at bootup” --title “BootManager: SFS files” --stdout --ok-label “OKAY” --cancel-label “Cancel” --checklist “Note1: No more than 6 SFS files may be selected\nNote2: These files are at /mnt/home or /mnt/home/Test6 (in sdb2 partition)” 0 0 0 1 4-KDE-4.4.4-G.sfs off 2 5-Voyager-5G.sfs off 3 Acrobat_Reader-9.3.3-Lucid.sfs off 4 amarok-1.4-lucid.sfs off 5 Bibletime-2.7.2b.sfs off 6 Bibletime-2.8.0-1.sfs off 7 bibletime-2.8.0-i486.sfs off 8 Bibletime_lucid-2.7.2a.sfs off 9 ch4-GoogleEarth-6.0.3.2197-i386.sfs off 10 Firefox-6.0-sp.sfs off 11 GoogleEarth-5.2.1.sfs off 12 java_jre-6u22-Lucid-sfs4.sfs off 13 jre-1.6.0.24-20110216.sfs off 14 jre-1.6.0.27.sfs off 15 jre-1.6u25-i586.sfs off 16 kde-apps-trinity-3.5.12.sfs off 17 kde-core-trinity-3.5.12.sfs off 18 kernel_sources-2.6.37.6-patched_spup2.sfs off 19 kernel_sources-2.6.39-4(0).sfs off 20 kernel_sources-2.6.39-4.sfs off 21 kernel_src-2.6.37.6-patched.sfs off 22 kernel_src-2.6.39-3-patched-lupe28.sfs off 23 kernel_src-2.6.39.4-lupe-29-patched.sfs off 24 kernel_src-2.6.39.4-patched.sfs off 25 LibreOfc-3.3.1_en_US_sfs4.sfs off 26 LibreOffice-3.3.1_en-US.sfs off 27 LibreOffice-3.3.2_en-US.sfs off 28 LibreOffice-3.4.1_en-US-fixed.sfs off 29 LibreOffice-3.4.2_en-US.sfs off 30 LibreOffice-3.4.3_en-US.sfs off 31 LibreOffice-3.4.3rc2_en-US.sfs off 32 Musescore-1.0-lucid525.sfs off 33 vlc-1.0.6+streamtuner-lucid.sfs off 34 Xfce-4.6.2-L2.sfs off >/tmp/bmrettags.txt’
2. Power-off computer reboots rather than shutting the computer down.
Otherwise, I really like your new 3.07 kernel which is fast and works fine on everything I’ve tried.
Cheers,
Jim
