Samba for wary/racy

With the Samba Simple Setup gui

samba_full-3.5.12-wary-racy.pet 36M

It's the full enchilada with docs and dev. It's still large split so I left it all in... libs and bins are stripped.

I did a full install of racy 5.2.2.8 to an acer desktop pc.
The CPU frequency scaling utility isn't working, it doesn't show any
options.
I copied the wcpufreq file from slacko into /usr/sbin and it's
working now.

Any chance of upgrading glibc so that newer versions of Chromium/Chrome/Iron can be used?

I clicked on the install icon and used the sfs downloader, I used
ftp.nluug.nl repo to download the sfs files and it worked well, fast.

On my full install there was an error message that the sfs was not
found or was the wrong type but they were downloaded to /mnt/home. I
installed Shinobar's sfs_load-1.3.pet and used it to load the sfs
files, it worked great.

EDIT: I've been using this for a few hours now and no problems, it's working well, and fast.

xorgwizard running in console seems missing the new console font .

I have noticed this because ö and ü had no correct display in dialogs.

prepending 1 line before line 335
zcat /lib/consolefonts/LatGrkCyr-8x16.psfu.gz | loadfont #120227
#do this code block if X is running...

and before 1570
zcat /lib/consolefonts/LatGrkCyr-8x16.psfu.gz | loadfont #120227
dialog --no-collapse --title "$(gettext 'Xorg Video Wizard')" --yes-label "$(gettext 'FINISHED')" --no-label "$(gettext 'Tweak')" --yesno "$(gettext 'Report on X test:')
`eval_gettext \"Resolution: \\\${XTEST}x\\\${YTEST} pixels\"`

and ö was correct !

console font has to be (re)loaded independent of locale changing ?!

Some ö´s in xorgwizard:

# pwd
/usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES
# msgunfmt xorgwizard.mo | grep lö
msgstr "Es ist möglich, Bildschrmauflösungen zu ändern, ohne X zu verlassen:"
msgstr "MEHR: weitere Bildschirmauflösungen anzeigen..."
msgstr "Ändern der Auflösung"
msgstr "Auflösung: ${XTEST}x${YTEST} pixels"
#

The last one is displayed as Auflölsung. Very strange.

Of course, this loadfont hack is just a hack for now...

Test yourself, lang_pack_de attached

-------------------------------------
edited concerning usability:

in dialog the buttons are always visible now so there is no more need for text like
TAB TAB ENTER to choose this or that...

Maybe just 1 new hint:
Use PAGE DOWN key to see entire text...

I ran Racy 5.3beta2 and found the following shortage.
By clicking harddisk icon on desktop to mount a vfat partition, Racy 5.3beta2 does not use utf8 option when UTF-8 locale is used.

Thanks to new forum member LaRioja who has translated ROX-Filer from latest source
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=76281

I have used it in racy5228
Now there is no need for momanager to display:

XML files without de translation:
/usr/local/apps/ROX-Filer/Options.xml

and

Binary executables that do not have a mo file:
/usr/local/apps/ROX-Filer/ROX-Filer

because this is translated by
/usr/local/apps/ROX-Filer/Messages/de/LC_MESSAGES/ROX-Filer.mo

if ROX-Filer.pot is in /usr/share/doc/nls/ momanager can handle this I think.

Barry,

Back in 2010, forum member "Wheres One" ran into a problem installing to partition 1. Looking into the matter, he kept careful notes and pretty much solved the problem himself. I stepped in at the last minute to suggest what might need to be changed in /usr/sbin/puppyinstaller.

His problem occurred after he created partition 10, and he correctly determined that puppyinstaller did not like two-digit partition numbers.

Looking at the code, I noticed three places where $DRVMSG was searched with grep for the destination partition ($DESTPART). You can guess what comes next . . . Yes, grepping for "sda1" matched "sda10".

I suggested adding a colon in each of those lines to change "$DESTPART" to "$DESTPART:". This worked for him.

Looking at the code today, I see a couple of other lines where there might be a problem. In one line the output of mount and in the other the output of ps -e is being searched. So "/dev/$DESTPART" probably needs to be changed to "/dev/$DESTPART ".

In the current version in fossil/wolf2 (checked-in 2012-02-02 10:04:42), the lines that I propose adding colons to are: 705, 706, 712, and the lines where I propose adding spaces are: 1145, 1149.

But I will be the first to admit that this script makes my head spin. For instance, I think that the destination partition in $DRVMSG is always followed by a colon, but I'm not entirely sure. So I am hoping that the author will know best if my proposed changes make sense.

I have not tested this because I don't want to change my partition 1. I do know that the changes I suggested for adding the three colons worked for Wheres One in 2010. The other two changes are totally untested.

Hi,
anew thanks for your continuus quest with this racy !
That's nice to have an embedded OpenGL !
But ....
Here on a pentium IV with 82845G brookdale video chip:
the X and/or OpenGL settings defined on the pristine state change to another (-->different and maybe downgraded) settings when the corresponding pupsave file is created.
No new software nor libs were added.
and...
question: I had like to know how to keep the same settings as upon the pristine boot?

Some more details:
1. Booting pristine (pfix=ram) + restarting Xorgwizard to «Choose» the Intel driver and 1280x1024x24 resolution gives the following reports:
