D/L iso, booted live cd to desktop - No internet connection
I had to set up manually

I have not had any sound problems as do full installs on 7 different puppies.

Full install of this version works with no problems

My congratulations and thanks to all worked so hard to make this version great.

In a previous post in this thread (page 50) I commented that whilst I have never lost sound on a USB stick, I had when copying a pup over to USBHD with the exception of Racy-5.2.2 k3.0.7.

Having said that I only possess one pc and my sticks and therefore Alsa are not being presented with different combinations of sound chips and devices. It seems that Alsa works best with a clean start so that it can create its inodes – which makes sense when moving a USB device between PCs.

These comments apply to a manual frugal install to a fat 32 USB 2 stick with syslinux 4.04 boot and ext2 save file. The screenshots are of 003.
I started by using another pup to mount lupu_528.sfs before launching for the first time.

Noteworthy in the first shot are:
119 items in /dev/sound – the bulk of which are from 2005 (harmless orphaned inodes?)
The 3 pci items dated 25 Nov 2011 in /dev/snd/by-path
The 3 mixers in /dev
It seems that all of this stuff comes from the pc that authored the ISO.

The second screenshot show the situation after the first re-boot and creation of a savefile.

Here alsa has done its thing and created the necessary for 2 devices.

Taking my cue from BK’s approach in racy where, with an earlier version of alsa, he purges everything in rc.sysinit I wrote a standalone script to do the same. (slightly modified for the later version in 528 and catching a bit more)

ETP, playdayz,
My next patch (6) will have the /dev/snd files removed at initialization, as in wary/woof. But the remaster issue is a good one to bring up, as it may copy all of the /dev files. I will check into that before releasing the patch.

Note that the patch will skip only the /dev/snd files, not the entire /dev directory. This is to eliminate all other known hazards to the sound issue before diverging from Barry's design.

The major change in the patch is to ensure that package installations and uninstallations do not occur at the wrong time relative to saves to flash drive. This is significant only when a package contains an updated version of a file already in the iso file. Packages with only new files do not need that protection. I am still working out some maddening details.

Playdayz,

Just wondering - on the first page of this thread, Lucid 5.2.8 offered for download is the .003 version. However, this doesn't really jive with where one is lead from puppylinux.com (maintained by BK), which is to the original 5.2.8 iso. Is that correct? Which version should be presented to first time downloaders?

Keep up the great work.

Installed 528.004 on a USB Flash Drive stick and
It's working great Sound is OK.

There's one little thing:
When I upgraded to Firefox 8.0.1 and installed
adobe flash 11, then the browser hangs on connecting
to web pages.
I used the fix that requires moving the file 'libnss3.so' from the Firefox folder, to the
/usr/lib folder. It works for me, but a new user
wouldn't know that.

I just want to add my congrats for the work on 5.2.8-004.

Despite your encouragement for us to move to Slacko, Playdayz, I appreciate your extended work on 5.2.8. It is a very professional approach to make this the best supported mainstream puppy there has ever been.

Talking of professional - your idea of stable and testing versions - which mimicks Debian - is yet another example of the greater profesionalism being applied to Lupu.

I know it goes against the grain of standard Puppy development chaos but some of us appreciate it!

Lupu is my number-1 Puppy. Very Happy

Lupu-528.004 is working well. Cool

My lupusave updated perfectly so far as I can tell. Cool

I'm typing this from Slacko-5.3.1-SCSI-MAIN.
OK, its nice and colorful...
Looks good...
Includes snap2 I see [did I install that?]...
The included Psip32 Puppy Phone probably won't work with my hardware...
The 0.26 version installed in Lupu-528.004 works just fine.
Managed to get this Slacko to work with pmedia=ataflash included in the ISO file's isolinux.cfg file, so that makes it a winner in my opinion.
Who knows, might I be tempted to switch?
Time will tell.

I'm spoiled for choice.
Isn't Puppy WONDERFUL! Very Happy
