Thanks guys for network_tray reports

There is a bug though if you have 2 wired network interfaces..particularly noticeable if you are connected to the second one, this would have been in the original by Barry (and inherited by rerwin's) anyway. Also, there is a bug if you have a ppp (any kind of modem) interface. though it's not as serious as the 2 eth interface bug. The fix should fix both. On the hunt.

I did a manual frugal install to an 8gb SDHC card formatted ext4,
using grub4dos as the bootloader.

I installed kdegames from ppm (the devx wasn't loaded) and the broken
pinboard bug is gone.
I loaded the devx and installed the proprietary ati driver and
compiled a few pets with no problems.
Looks good so far
I'll attach the htop and cmus pets that I made, also made pets of
fox-1.6.47-i686.pet and xfe-1.34-i686.pet but they are too large to attach.

Fresh manual frugal install on the Athlon XP box. Everything good so far.

hey micko

sorry for the delay

vattery works correctly with battery installed but reads 'segmentation fault' when no battery is present (on dock), tested puppy431, slacko 5.3.3, fatdog64-611 and lightouse64-511 and all cope ok with battery removed

without battery no display, "seg fault" shows in terminal

Using savefile from Slacko 5.4 in 5.4.0.4 results in hang during boot.

Ah, I see. Savefile changed from .3fs to .2fs.

Manual frugal upgrade from 5.4.0.3 to 5.4.0.4 on an old P4 box. No problems at all.

Ok, completely fresh install - spent hours installing lots of stuff, making (my usual) system customizations, and......all is ok!

The only problem I had is the same as Ally's, with powerapplet_tray (since 5.4.0.3), but the version fixed by Rodin.s works fine for me:

Thanks & Greetings!

[zigbert]

+ Nice to adjust mouse sensitivity from mouse wizard
+ Firefox I like
+ Multiple soundcard wizard works as expected
+ Default font is crisp and clear
+ This must be the best looking wallpaper I have seen default in any Puppy.

- CD-player gui is crappy - I will look at it

SFR and ally

Thanks for power applet reports. I'm using the default woof version so I'll update it to rodin.s' version.

ally, can you test it?

Also, I have been informed of an issue with vicmz openbox+ pet in PPM. Looking into that.
