Last night I reuploaded next test version with some bug fixes. I changed the naming back to squeeze, gconv.modules.cache included and one jmw theme fix.

Mikeslr. Good to hear that radeon works now. About kernels. There will be anyway need to compile extra drivers. You cant use kernel compiled in Slacko in Dpup. The reason. They are gcc version sensitive. If I use Slacko kernel, The kernel module compiling would probably fail. Learnt in 3head dog Lucid Puppy which uses Slacko kernel.

James C. I believe the reason is that there is somewhere in the script calling with name, not with numerical ip address. I remember you had that problem before.

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!

Manual frugal installation on Dell Inspiron laptop on an ext4 partition. Everything is working fine. Frisbee setup was flawless. Also, was able to set up a wifi connection to a printer.

Cheers, :D

Dpup Exprimo 5.X.13

#1707 Post by Billtoo »

I'm running from the live dvd with a save file.

Dpup Exprimo, version 5.X.13 on Wed 1 February 2012

Chip description:
5.0 VGA compatible controller
ATI Technologies Inc M880G [Mobility Radeon HD 4200]
oem: ATI ATOMBIOS
product: RS880M 01.00

X Server: Xorg
Driver used: # vesa Driver fglrx #card0driver

X.Org version: 1.7.7
dimensions: 1024x600 pixels (270x158 millimeters)
depth of root window: 24 planes

There is no k8 option for the CPU frequency scaling tool so this

Frisbee is working perfectly, no problems.

I made a Seamonkey 2.7 pet for Saluki and it works fine in 5x13 too,

/lib/modules/2.6.39/kernel/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq
There is k8 governor. So...something else is problem.
You could as first aid load it manually: #modprobe powernow-k8
and check if ppower tray app catch it.

Why didn't I find that? :oops:

Calibre looks like what we need.

Any speculation as to the compatibility with Dpup?

Since Calibre is already in pet_packages-exprimo, I have believed so. Use Sfs Apps Loader icon.

I have fixed the getflash script. Now it informs the version of installed flashplayer and it pings numerical address. Wcpu-freq has been downgraded to the non 3.X supported version, not sure if it makes difference to Billtoo. Pmusic-2.4.0 with fixed Nad3 theme, Pupcontrol and PupClock updated to the latest.
I will upload it tomorrow and I suppose it should be the announced 5.X.13 with list of changes since 5.X.12.

I am getting this pop-up error but no way to address it (there is no "Checkbox at the bottom").
You need to set locale to UTF-8. Desktop->Country Settings->
Chooselocale country localizations (Checkbox at the Bottom)

Silly me :oops: I was thinking that the error message was referring to something inside of the Calibre app ...

Anyhow, that worked ...

Calibre flagged a Update and when selected -- without asking first -- installed FireFTP (not cool).

I am not sure if it downloaded the update or not as it opened a Web page with the SUDO code and a bunch of other content along with the FireFTP tab.

The app looks good and I will try to test it later ... gotta run to an evening activity ...

I dont think so that calibre downloaded FireFTP. It is preinstalled in my used Firefox package. It probably popped up somehow.
But Calibre truly seems to autoupdate itself. Not sure if that FireFTP popping up is somehow related to the update...or not.
I did have FireFTP already in use....so I cant be sure.
If ppl didnt know...I have included FireFTP, Flashblock and Adblock. You just need to open extensions and enable them or it.

CPU frequency scaling utility works in this version of Slacko on the
athlon processor.

Billtoo.

Code: Select all

# which wcpufreq
/usr/sbin/wcpufreq
Could you upload that script. Just add .gz to the name and upload it.
I would like to diff it.
