Hi pemasu

A question:

Just interested..

Thanks, I'm looking forward to the update to the Dpup Exprimo SMP 5.X.10.3. It has a later kernel optimized for SMP which should work great with my equipment with i7 processors.

Cheers,
Jim

Debian packages used: squeeze...so it is dpup...exprimo...from latin means about same as squeeze. So...it is dpup squeeze...and puppy...so puppy_squeeze.
And the puplet name is Dpup Exprimo. Nothing changed. Simple.

Upload finished now.

Jim1911. I havent decided what will be the kernel for next SMP or should I use the same 3.1.0. I have now 3.1.10 - 3.2.1 and 3.2.2 kernels to choose. According to slacko experiments 3.2 is quite broken. 3.1.10 works fine...but is there any benefit to change from 3.1.0 to 3.1.10. Shinobar has compiled kernel module dependent packages...which would be nasty to lose. So...I havent made my mind yet.

Sticking with 3.1.10 which has worked well for Slacko would be good, or consider dropping back since Iguleder mentioned on the Slacko thread that 3.0.18 is the next longterm kernel.

However, my preference for the SMT version is use the later kernel.

Cheers,
Jim

I've had trouble trying to install the NVIDIA driver. I'm using kernel_src-2.6.39.4-lupe30-patched.sfs. Is that the correct kernel source?

Otherwise, 5.X.13 is working great.

Thanks,
Jim

Jim1911. As I posted earlier, the link is in first page. You have wrong source. The source you have...is that non-BFS kernel source.

http://www.iguleder.info/puppy/kernel/l ... 6.39-4.sfs

Just now I understood what Peebee really meant. I played with specs and I forgot to change back to squeeze. So the name really is dpup in main sfs, lol. Well...whatever....it plays well with what happens in Puppyland. You never know....and the only stable thing is the unstable. Lol.

I will change it back when I have got some feedback...I mean if there is broken things.
Keeping the name as it was helps ppl who want to use old savefile. No need to rename savefile.

Especially I would like to hear from wireless users...whom uses Frisbee...if the frisbee_tray and /etc/init.d/Frisbee now works better. I mean the wireless connection initialization...does it now autoconnect after configuring....creating savefile and rebooting.

Hi pemasu

Sorry if my question was a bit indirect and unspecific :lol:

I tried renaming and then updating the savefile - but seemed to have sound & flsynchclient & wifi problems so I've started again with a new savefile. (so stick with dpup please)

All seems good although I did have a strange problem on the 2nd reboot - just froze with a flashing cursor after the shut down message - had to resort to poweroff button. Seems OK on subsequent reboots so......?

Frisbee wifi reconnected OK after reboot.

Dpup Exprimo 5.X.13

#1690 Post by Billtoo »

I unplugged the wired network and plugged in a linksys usb wireless
adapter,Frisbee could see it but not configure it so I used Dougal's
network manager.
Now on every reboot it needs a right click on the frisbee icon in the
tray to get the wireless network up.

For me...Frisbee autoconnects...so I am poor tester. But there has been before situations where Frisbee and SNS has failed but good old Dougal`s Classic has saved the day.

By the way...I had installed the very important fix straight to the woof2 and so it was initially neglected...gconv.modules.cache file. It is needed for gtkdialog apps so that they launch as quick as they do.

I will probably tomorrow upload the fixed...real version...with all the bug fixes found.

Don't do wireless so regretfully can't test.

Is there a native Linux reader that handles Kindle files?

I searched and did not find and reference to one.

I do not want to do the WINE thing.

I looked at Seamonkey plugins and did not find a solution there either.

Thanks!

Just a quick live pfix=ram run on some different hardware. On initial boot was a bit concerned...... booted to a incorrect 1400x1050 desktop with the entire left third of the monitor totally blank. Xorgwizard to the rescue...now have correct 1440x900. Sound and internet working on boot.

I should have included that in my prefer-to-avoid list. :oops:

I really would like to find something that works with LibreOffice or Seamonkey or a freestanding Linux Kindle-reader app -- online or offline.

Thanks!

Exprimo 5x13 works fine with my Ati Radeon 3100 Card

#1699 Post by mikeslr »

Hi pemasu,

I understand that 5x13 is still using the BFS kernel. So that wasn't the problem after all. As I mentioned, although everything worked, including graphics at my highest resolution, when some dialogs were called up, such as Frisbee, the input window or display would have a line or box obscuring the display or field. That doesn't happen running 5x13. So something has changed, but I don't know what. But you've made me a happy camper.(':D')
Regarding a new SMP Exprimo, my vote is "Yes." My understanding is that, unlike PAE --which will only run if you have a dual or multicore system-- SMP will run on a single core system. It just enables your computer to access more RAM, regardless. Frankly, I don't know the down-side.
Regarding Series 3 Kernels, the only one I had a problem with is the 3.1.8 Kernel. Others in the 3.1 series ran fine. I did not test the 3.0.6. The 3.2.2. ran without problems under both an AMD Phenom II X4 920 with ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics and an Athlon 64 X2 3800+ with NVIDIA GeForce 6150LE Graphics.
But as I suggested on the Slacko thread, http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 096#600096 before deciding the next kernel to use it might be best if the devs reach a consensus since wireless and graphics drivers are kernel specific: in the absence of a good reason its wasteful of your time and puppy's space --and confusing to everyone-- to compile and maintain multiple drivers. The exception would be something like: the X kernel was the best for a debian system but didn't work well with one based on slackware, or vice-versa.
See http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 112#600112 for the kernels tested under Slacko. I didn't experience a problem with any of them.
