Hi rcrsn51 !
Problem with sound-loudness only with precise 5.5 on my desktop-machine.
(no problem with my Toshiba-notebook )
Upup 3.7.2 and 3.8.3 working fine with sound ... but i cant use them on mydesktop-machine due problems with xorg ...they crash sooner or later working with them .

I have corrected 3 typos in my post - the main one being that I connect through VGA not RGB.
Thanks for your thoughts. I didn't realise that there was more than one widescreen ratio.

Racy 5.5 works with the HDTV with vesa at 1440x900. the xorg-server is version 1.11.0 .
precise 5.5 doesn't work with the HDTV at 1440x900 even if vesa is chosen. (The graphics card is an Intel.) The error in the xorg log is Code: | vesa: Ignoring device with a bound kernel driver. |
The xorg-server version is 2:1.11.4-0ubuntu10.11 . Is this the correct one for Precise?
I searched the web expecting to find an instruction to allow a driver to be set in advance. But found sites advising to upgrade instead.

omg it takes forever to package a pet now (I've been on older pups)
/usr/bin/new2dir has a function called fixfilelistfunc
always called as
fixfilelistfunc "$ONEFILE"
it can be sped up significantly by replacing those with something along the lines of:
Code: | sed -i "/$ONEFILE/d" /tmp/${EXE_PKGNAME}.files |
or changing that function to do the same rather than doing 2 consecutive reads and writes (really slow for large file lists in packages with a lot of resources)
Note: You may need to quote it differently, I haven't tested it yet (dia package is still going through files after an hour), but wanted to post it before I forget.
Edit: it should also remove any occurance of
/usr/share/icons/*/icon-theme
and add a line to the pinstall script along the lines of
echo gtk-update-icon-cache `dirname "$ONEFILE"` >> /pathto/pinstall
(but I think? pinstall needs the leading "/" removed for woof?)
this saves ~500kb for each pet that has icons in /usr/share/icons
... alternatively petget could automagically run it if a package contains any files in /usr/share/icons since this would fix other packages that may have been packaged with an icon cache that overwrites the existing one which may have additional icons or be missing some that are in the icon.cache file (may cause a fault if gtk thinks there is an icon that is missing but was on the packagers machine)

RE new2dir |
|
Disagree a little bit because I think that the main delay comes from the .moved.files ..
Code: | for ONEMOVED in `cat /tmp/${EXE_PKGNAME}.moved.files`
do
ONEORIG="`echo -n "$ONEMOVED" | cut -f 1 -d '&'`"
ONENEW="`echo -n "$ONEMOVED" | cut -f 2 -d '&'`"
grep -v "$ONEORIG" ${RELPATH}/${EXE_PKGNAME}.files > /tmp/${EXE_PKGNAME}.files
echo "$ONENEW" >> /tmp/${EXE_PKGNAME}.files
sync
mv -f /tmp/${EXE_PKGNAME}.files ${RELPATH}/${EXE_PKGNAME}.files
done
|
could be like
Code: | for ONEMOVED in `cat /tmp/${EXE_PKGNAME}.moved.files`
do
ONEORIG="$ONEORIG
`echo -n "$ONEMOVED" | cut -f 1 -d '&'`"
ONENEW="$ONENEW
`echo -n "$ONEMOVED" | cut -f 2 -d '&'`"
done
#fi
echo "$ONEORIG" |sed '/^$/d' > /tmp/${EXE_PKGNAME}.orig.files
echo "$ONENEW" |sed '/^$/d' > /tmp/${EXE_PKGNAME}.new.files
grep -v -f /tmp/${EXE_PKGNAME}.orig.files ${RELPATH}/${EXE_PKGNAME}.files >/tmp/${EXE_PKGNAME}.files
cat /tmp/${EXE_PKGNAME}.new.files >> /tmp/${EXE_PKGNAME}.files
cp -a --remove-destination /tmp/${EXE_PKGNAME}.files ${RELPATH}/${EXE_PKGNAME}.files
fi
|
EDIT : put the code inside the if/fi function in case "$ONEORIG" is empty, grep -v -f "$empty_file" could grep nothing .

Turns out the whole thing needs refactored on 2nd look. Installwatch's -e parameter would help and it would be better to use a single awk script to fiddle with the list than the crazy # of iteration with multiple unneeded read/writes.

I don't know if this has been known before...
If I install a package that has a *.desktop file, it should have a menu entry. Well, most of them do.
But when the category is listed like this in the *.desktop file (example is from the fceux package in ubuntu precise)
Quote: |
Categories=X-Fun-Sub
|
It does not show up in JWM's menu at all.
Same with trimage:
Quote: |
Categories=X-Graphic-Sub
|
Changing them to X-Fun and X-Graphic works, though.

you could add them to /etc/xdg/menus/hierarchy
but I would suggest reporting to those packagers that they should use a registered category
Puppy (and linux in general) has enough work-arounds already, its better to fix the upstream package if possible

Precise 5.5 runs flawlessly on my end, with KDE 4.9. Thank you to everyone for another great release! *-*

I added them to /etc/xdg/menus/hierarchy, ran fixmenus, restarted X, still the same.
Edit: Adding the X-(category)-Sub category in their respective /etc/xdg/menus/puppy-*.menu files fixes the problem.

frisbee-1.1 and network_tray-2.7 |
|
The newest version of frisbee and network_tray are available here:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=698497#698497
and are candidates for inclusion in Precise Pup 5.6. The major improvement is to the information provided by the network icon, to show all network types in use: ethernet, wifi, wireless modem and analog dialup.

I would love to try KDE with Precise 5.5 but I'm unsure how to set it up.
A quick look at the Ubuntu repositories via PPM shows dozens of KDE related packages, so I'm not sure where/how to begin.
Any hints getting KDE working appreciated!
