Lxpup 14 final 7-20-2012
It could be just me and my ways - I take a priority on making things as universal/compatible as possible as regards wms and such (but I still have my own quirky preferences to crazy up the mix), doubtless things will break somewhere along the way. Personal hwr plays a part as well (I seem to recall some oddnesses about xorg76 on my old setup, so wary may be fine) - most everyone with fairly recent hwr seems real pleased and issues if any are minor.
Quite true about stock/official releases, sometimes the dev(s) tend to integrate tightly and the release reflects that. It's rare to please everyone or even most, let alone have it all work well with the more recent tools.
CheckMate Precise sounds awesome

Hi Jejy69
Just booted Precise CheckMate on my 10yr old Acer 243LC laptop and it looks and feels very good - no nastie's found yet.
Runs a little warmer than usual - but not overly so (60-65 C)
Most pup's on this machine run lower at approx (45-55, max 62ish C).
Superbly presented and so easy for a noob to setup from scratch.
Thanks again for another excellent Puppy.
Very best regards - Ray

Hi again
Left idle for 15 - 30 mins the temp drops to 45 C.
Browsing takes it up to 55 - 65 C and a 100mb download took it to 75 C.
Also, just starting Task Manager seems to excite it a bit, takes CPU usage reading up to 65 - 85%.
Strangly, when checked in Htop - CPU usage shows 3 - 11%.
Mem usage in both remain constant at around 45 - 65mb.
However, still a luvly Puppy and am enjoying using it.
Thanks and best regards - Ray

I an guessing at this but could the pae kernel be the problem?Ray MK wrote:Hi again

Hi oldyeller
You could be right - I'll try a few pae puppy's and then a few non-pae puppy's and see if there are any obvious diiierences.
I think that BK carefully selects his kernels for similar reasons.
A solution might be to offer users a PAE and a non-PAE kernel option.
More work but more happy users.
Thanks for your thoughts and for all that you do for Puppy.

@Jejy69
My issues (on page 11) are mostly if not all self-inflicted. Been checking in a 'stock' racy53 and much of the same 'til I figured out MY BAD cap @153k
Leave the finished isos up if you like, I'm sure many will appreciate all your efforts!
@Ray&oldyeller
For sure BK is doing his selections with an almost instinctual feel for what works. I'm not all that wild about xorg76 (my ATI vidcards are really borderline for accepting radeon rather than xvesa driver), but the racy kernel is fine on my old gear.

definitely more-or-less (in 'dog' years, anyhow)
I for one am very much sold on dual-pane fmsº (solid advocate of xfe, even made a custom duo that uses two versions for different looks and setups since I'm a lazy sloth when it comes down to using a 'final' product). Yep, other good reports on spacefm here'n'there - have to get a round tuitt, too many square ones recently
I believe Precise is a 'buntu-type deal going with that family (repos, philosophy and so on)
º about the only one I didn't personally care for was vifm (but if you're used to vi, it's probably better than sliced bread for getting things like sandwiches done when you're hungry now)

heh, heh - about ten minutes after i shut the laptop down for the night it hit me - "DUH!! "Lucid pup based on Ubuntu Lucid, Precise pup must be based on..."
I didn't want to bother editing my post, i wanted to get in bed!
It's great the Precise will be LTS for FIVE years...on the other hand, there's something comforting about good ol' Slackware.

Precise checkmate updated, see the first post !
Cheers !
C'est magnifique - excellent job as always.
Just a few very small "nitpicking" comments offered in the spirit of making it "even better":
1. little ghosts of open windows remain in the window buttons on the tray even after the window has been closed - attach #1
2. pnethood opens rox rather than pcmanfm - and icons for directories seem to be missing - attach #2
3. the image in psd seems to be corrupt - see attach #3
4. usual puppy icons for common puppy file types such as .pet .sfs. .2fs etc. are not displayed in pcmanfm
Hope this is helpful.
Cheers
PeeBee

problems adding packages, problems with burniso2cd
Hi guys, any one having problems adding packages? Every package I have tried to install (audacious, xfburn, chromium) crashes. Audacious worked fine in Checkmate Finale. Xfburn had problems in Finale. Didn't try chromium in Finale. Also, burniso2cd failed to burn an iso. Just wondering if anyone else having these problems. Thanks, Rob
Still no free time but looking pretty good so far.

-Pnethood use Pcmanfm instead of Rox.
-PupShutdown picture fixed.
-Browser libs added, you can now use Chromium and others.

I used your libs seamonkey package, thanks Peebee.
Only for Lxpanel, the famous ghost... I think it doesn't refresh... A lxpanel bug ?

If you use the slacko based version then in PPM (slackware) there is a package "seamonkey-solibs" created for the purpose of chrome browsers. Best to update PPM databases though as the versions may have shifted up a bit since slacko-533's release.
Although.. it may work ok if you add the firefox install dir (/usr/lib/firefox? I didn't check) to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Usually in /etc/profile its /usr/lib/seamonkey.
