I have just ran into another problem with the retro non-pae. on my dell D430.
When I went to boot precise I got more than just kernel panic on my screen I got a lot more.
Nothing was found on my computer at all. That was strange and I did not write anything down that was showing on the boot screen.
I booted into Manna on a usb stick and went into the precise frugal folder and all I saw was a triangle were the folder use to be. I did have two savefiles in it.
Also the other day booting I had another problem, You would think that after the first I would not try any more!! wrong. This is what Happened. When booting up it said that there was a problem with the ext3 partition.
So I booted in pfix=ram and made another savefile, That did not matter any way since it said there was a problem the partition. Again I did not write anything down, sorry. I went into Manna and opened Gparted and there was nothing wrong with the ext3 partition.
I know that with out the information that the boot screen showed this probably does not really help, But I thought I still would say something about it any way.

EDIT: I have found the real problem my HARD DRIVE has bad sectors in it. So there is nothing wrong with any of puppies I have been using.

Cheers.

Now that’s interesting - I’m running a frugal precise 542 no-pae - flawlessly.
No hiccups - all seems extremely stable - etc.
However, when using precise 542-pae things were generally ok but wifi internet kept dropping connection - even when in active use, with both seamonkey and opera.
Exactly the same with very latest Wary. Strange?
Tried selecting vesa with wary - usually bullet-proof, ran fine but same wifi internet problem.
Do not use cable ethernet connection anymore - ‘cos wife hates the cables.
This is the first time for yonks that any puppy has hiccupped on my 10yr old Acer laptop.
Just thought I’d mention above for general info.
V best regards - Ray

Multisession on laptop |
|
sorry if this is covered...
An older gateway laptop with a broadcom wireless modem(which now works fairly reliably), but has failed to multisession either a CD or DVD. Works very nicely on a thumb drive.
Can someone explain the issue with multisession on laptops?
Thanks

DISTRO_ARCHDIR definition is empty. |
|
The /etc/DISTRO_SPECS file (in precise-5.4.2.iso -> puppy_precise_5.4.2.sfs) contains an empty definition of DISTRO_ARCHDIR:
Because of this the new code in /usr/local/petget/installpkg.sh that fixes overwritten multiarch directory links does not execute.
I took a quick look at 3builddistro in Woof, but couldn't figure out why DISTRO_ARCHDIR is not being set properly.
Thanks to new Puppy user and forum member Repip for his patience and help in tracking this down. (See http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=669448#669448 and http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=669502#669502.)

There's a missing package required for building stuff against gnutls: libp11-kit-dev.
It's a new dependency of gnutls (which appeared in later Ubuntu releases and Slackware 14.0). If this package is missing, many applications with optional SSL/TLS support will build without it. Some won't tell you, until you notice you can't use SSL URLs, verify certificates, encrypt stuff, etc'.
So far, aria2 failed to build and BitlBee's configure script simply turned that support off (how rude!) and went on. I guess that's just the beginning - more things should fail.
EDIT: oh crap, it seems OpenSSL is problematic because of conflicts between 0.9.8 and 1.0.0. libcrypto.so does not exist and applications try to link against 0.9.8, while they build against 1.0.0's headers.
EDIT 2: file_DEV and /usr/bin/whereis (from util-linux) are needed to build Vifm.
EDIT 3: /usr/bin/col (from bsdmainutils) is needed to build UnNetHack.

Sorry for the off-topic, I've made a .pet of Openbox with extra add-ons. Works in Precise, Wary and Slacko, may work in other Puppies:

I notice that there is no package of x264 in Precise Puppy, only a libx264.so.120 with none of the usual symlinks in /usr/lib.
In order to compile the x264 plugin for Linphone I have to compile and install the x264 package first, which (with the latest snapshot) creates a libx264.so.129 and one symlink libx264.so as well as a binary and headers of course. I hope installing this does not cause any conflict with other applications.
Anyway I thought I would just mention that I have uploaded a new build of Linphone 3.5.2 for Precise Puppy with NLS enabled and would welcome any testers. I know it isn't quite as robust and user-friendly as Skype, but it is a fraction of the size. The x264 video codec plugin is posted as an optional extra.
Maybe I should also emphasise more that it is an Instant Messaging application which can be minimised to the tray. Perhaps computer users are generally more interested in that than in audio and video calling.

http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libx264-dev
http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/x264
I would have used those for compatibility.
I suppose you wont brake anything by using newer libx264 version... as long you have previous libx264 also installed. But having 2 versions of libx264 included does not make much sense....if you can go on with the existing one.

Thanks Pemasu. That makes much more sense. I will give that a try. The plugin lib itself is located in /usr/lib/mediastreamer/plugins and is just a small linker so hopefully I can include it in the Linphone .pet and keep it under 2MB if another libx264 is not needed.
LATER:- Re-uploading now as an all-in-one .pet which I think works without needing to install the x264 package or anything else.

Cups Help Files Missing |
|
Hello,
The CUPS help files are missing. None of them are there: /usr/share/doc/cups/help/
I was writing up my documentation for my new Kiosk based on Precise Puppy 5.4.2 and found that the cups help I referred to was not present.
Sincerely,
-Joe-

Those help files are mostly technical stuff. The more user-centric help is here.
