Wary 5.3.92 (5.4beta2), Dec. 3, 2012

Wary 5.3.92 (5.4beta2)

See my blog for download link:

Wary and Racy 5.3.90 (5.4beta1)

Blog announcement and download links:
http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=03011

It has been awhile, over 5 months. Wary and Racy 5.3 were released on April 5, 2012, see blog announcement:
http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02784

So, we need to get another Wary and Racy release out there! The kernels have been left at same versions as for 5.3, and for future Warys that will probably never change. However, the kernel for Racy can be upgraded, as can Xorg, but I might target that for version 5.5 (the next after 5.4).
For now, lots of Woof infrastructure and application upgrades.

Please test!

Manual frugal install of Wary 5.3.90 to sda 15 on my old P3 test box. Failed to find the sfs.
Burned a cd,used installer to install to sda15 ........failed to find the sfs.

Anyway, display and sound good on boot....... used SNS for internet and connection was persistent.

First Look:

Wary 5.3.90 incredibly slow even on decent (old) kit eg AMD2500+ with 768Mb.
The PPM Flashplayer options offered do not seem to match the SM version which asks for 10.3 or higher.
Otherwise, welcomed home and comfortable like an old pair of slippers.

Racy 5.3.90 - different ball-game, everything works and fast. Tyson present, where is the surfing mutt? Quick right click on sr0 causes its disappearance.

Out of curiosity, does this one now have dbus and dbus-glib included or does it make use of the nobus method as posted by Technosaurus?

Also, can I draw your attention to this post which mentions a problem with compiling Linphone in Wary or Racy 5.3

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 3&start=75

Is there any chance that this might be resolved during the development of 5.4 please?

Wary working nice here on my IBM Thinkpad r51, PentiumM 1700MHz, 512 RAM shared with Radeon Mobility graphics @ 32M RAM.

1 issue. Cant get 1 finger tapping for left click to work, I couldn't in some older slacko's too so I guess it's the older Xorg or older kernel module.

1 request. That purple gui for mtpaint screen capture is antiquated! I made a nice GUI that takes screen caps here called simply "screeny". It takes window snaps, fullscreen, auto resizes for the forum (as an option), opens for editing in defaultpaint (as an option), can turn off splash messages for speed.. all in 14k (including the xwd dependency, compiled in Racy, works fine in wary).

My RACY beta1 experience

#18 Post by gcmartin »

Booted RACY on laptop without a LAN cable and on an 8GB desktop which has 2 motherboard LAN adapters where no cable exist in eth0 while a cable to DHCP router exist in eth1. FirstRUN isn't showing Hostname sections for system on either system.

On the Laptop after several hours of tests, I plugged in a USB drive which has 4 partitions. After about 3-4 minutes of navigating, ROX "locked"!!! In order to regain desktop I had to use,

Code: Select all

Ctrl-Alt-Bkspce and xwin
.
On the desktop, initial boot give a signal out of range. And required a

Code: Select all

pfix=nox and xorgwizard
to see desktop of the nVidia 250 video card.

Another problem
On the laptop: Desktop tailoring and installation of 01Micko's SAMBA package with a save session to HDD as a 256MB Ext4 file would NOT reboot system using the save session. Only reboot alternative is pfix=ram or pfix=1. Thus, the save-session had to be purged.

I do understand that this is beta. I would provide any logs or information to help. Please provide guidance should more information be needed on either of the 2 platforms I mentioned

RACY running on Laptop with Flash, Seamonkey, GParted fix and SAMBA (01Micko's) installed and running provides the following measurement:

Code: Select all

Memory		: 1544MB (112MB used)
And, when running on the 8GB system, I have a similar RAM "used" picture.

As always, the system is speedy and responsive.
Requesting I'm sure the BUG in WOOF version of FirstRUN has been noticed.

Here to help

Simple Network Setup (SNS) will only work if DHCP is working on your network. Try using Network Wizard instead, this will allow you to set up with Static IP. Wired network devices are usually called eth0 (at least they are on the machines I use at home).

nvidia-glx-304.51.sfs is available.
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=72405

USAGE:
For the racy, boot with 'pfix=nox'.
Racy/Wary, run xorgwizard and select vesa. 1024x768 is safer.
Install the sfs_load-1.9.6.pet from the PPM, setup group, puppy-noarch repository.
Click the nvidia-glx-304.51.sfs and choose 'Install'.
Skip the nvidia-settings, run xorgwizard.
