glxgears : command not found

[gcmartin]

@Barry

There are 2 things i think you would be interested in, at system start. The following 2 tools has some minor issues:

• FirstRUN
• Internet Connection Wizard

FirstRUN
After making initial changes, the desktop restarts. If you should need or want to revisit FirstRUN (say, Menu>Settings>FirstRUN) one does NOT find their changes showing as one would expect. (Shown attached)

Internet Connection Wizard
There are 3 items of issue in this.

• The SMB/CIFS international "valid" characters for a hostname is A-Z, 0-9, and the hyphen character(s). When used in the tool, it is stripping our the hyphen when found.(For example, RACY-RCtest1 is being changed to RACYRCtest1)
• When the hostname is changed via the tool, should one want to re-enter to verify, before restarting the desktop, the original information is found in the tool.
  
• And, I have found that most, if not all system fields are attempted to be changed, even though the desktop was not restarted. Fields are:

  Code:

  # hostname RACYRCtest1 # echo $HOSTNAME RACYRCtest1 # cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost RACYRCtest1 192.168.1.1 pc2 192.168.1.2 pc3 192.168.1.3 pc4 # cat /etc/hostname RACYRCtest

All of this is attached in reports for review and verification.

Finally, a system report is enclosed.
The system appears healthy, responsive, and stable overall.

Hope this helps

Hi Barry

Absolutely blinding - using Opera12 alpha - luvly puppy.

Manual frugal to sda1 ext3. 9yr old acer laptop Travelmate 243LC.
256mb ram, 2.5Ghz Celeron Proc, 800mb swap partition.

This is so fast - amazing.

Looks and feels great - thanks so much for this.

Very best regards - Ray

Even though I still don't see the point of using a kernel that only benefits users with 4 Gb or more of ram........Wary 5.1.110 live saving to a usb flash drive.
Initial boot had working sound and internet (wired dsl) but incorrect screen resolution (1280x1024).Used xorgwizard to change to the nouveau driver and the correct 1366x768 resolution.

From this brief testing so far things appear to be working well.

[James C]

Everything persistent through several reboots.Installed several pets...no problems.

[jim3630]

installed 5.2beta2 frugal manual pfix=ram to ext4. auto-selected 1920x1080 resolution for HDMI connected tv and on computer screen the display is filled to full width.

This is remarkable is the first time after testing many, very many pups including slacko. now know erroneous assumption prior
releases while capable of displaying 1920x1080 plugged in large screen display could only show a diminished width display on computer monitor.

noticed the auto-chosen driver is versa while I usual use xorg_high.

can mesa work with this? noticed very low system resources usage.

auto-detected broadcom driver on wlan0 and able to make wifi connection with sns without issue.

multi-sound card appears not to work correctly. can not get mplayer to output sound to HDMI.

thanks for a very promising puppy

Petget with PUPMODE=13 works on Racy Puppy 5.1.110, kernel 3.0.7 with unionfs.

It was failed(freeze) on the last Racy, Slacko and Dpup on the same hardware.

This is especially for GCMartin:

The hostname is now set directly in the Internet Connection Wizard, see attached snapshot icw2.png.

The two updated script connectwizard and hostname-set have to go into /usr/sbin.

GCMartin, I have not yet looked at the other stuff you have posted.

[BarryK]

Note also, the Internet Connection Wizard, script 'connectwizard' in previous post, is now internationalised. Translations are welcome.

Grub4dos isn't working, I tried to run it from within racy and
nothing happened.
I downloaded and installed grub4dos-0.4.4.v1.6.3.pet from the forum
and it worked.

Manual frugal install to emachines D620 laptop.
The screen resolution and sound were good on first boot, I loaded the
broadcom wireless module in network manager to setup the wireless
network connection.
I updated seamonkey to 241,updated flash player plugin, and installed
some pets.

Grub4dos works fine on this laptop, I don't know why it wouldn't on
the desktop but I check it again tomorrow.

This one (.110) is fantastic. Everything works OOTB - sound, video, DHCP, etc. and shows none of the issues complained about above on any of my systems. So much better than all the other derivatives, even including Wary.

One tiny matter, (I think raised by DaveS?) : the display in 1024x768, but no other resolutions, is shifted a bit less than half-an-inch to the left. This is a new feature for me but not DS.
