If you're adventurous you can run this uninstall script the usual way.
(Remove fake .gz extension)

Code: Select all

./uninstall.sh
This will remove most of pemasu's right clicks.

Install your favorite apps like gimp, libreoffice, FBReader, audacity

Then you can add my pet package if you wish.

I'm waiting for 3.91 and then

Hi !
Yes like E17 Enlightenment too (love it ) but .....

Desktop icons and fonts disappear after PPM installs program .

There is something wrong for me when i trying to download from Ppacketmanager . (not in every case ) .... but on a lot of occasions when process of downloading continues suddenly all my fonts become Squares and the whole rox pictures and fonts are just a red triangle and completely unreadable .Then i must shut down.

Cant use Ppacketmanager .
Same with Puppy Precise 5.5.9
Could it maybe have something to do with the fact i have in Puppy Eventmanager"never save to ram Pupmode=0 " never save to ram " configured ?

Who can help ..similar problem ?
Here someone with same problem.

I will be back with Upup Raring next. It just is so...that it is truly great starting summer in Finland now. I enjoy being outside. In Finland we dont have many months warm and sun. Now it is that time. I just dont have motivation atm to sit beside comp.

But I am intrigued to know how 3.9 kernel works....so that is my next target. And latest woof at the time.

Hello pemasu

Why not wait for 3.10 which should be here by the time the sun next sets on Finland.

3.10 has the interesting stuff like Radeon VDPAU/UVD from Christian König et al. Maybe he will get it working on RS780/RS880 by then, I hope.

Also VLC 2.1 has VDPAU support and should be available by then.

Enjoy your summer while it lasts.

Hey, pemasu! I have something nice to say, rather than a question to ask, for once. Heh :)

I've been playing around with the computer Mom and I refer to as The Old VAIO. It's a Sony VAIO VGN-S360 "ultraportable" (long before The Coming Of The Ultrabook...).

Pentium M 1.7GHz
1gb RAM
failing 120gb IDE HDD (which has had it sidelined for a long time)
WinXP cloned from another failing drive (oh boy...!)

Thermal design in this particular laptop is rather wanting, and that means that it chews through hard drives at record speeds. Ow. It's awaiting its third HDD replacement. Last night I explained to Mom that with Puppy, and some hardware that I had, I could put a CompactFlash card inside as the hard drive (she'd have to pay for the CF card tho) and it would work again and last a lot longer than a mechanical hard drive.

I'm running Upup Raring 387 on it from CD right now and it's wonderfully fast. EVEN BETTER -- when I shut the lid the screen shut off and the power light blinked amber once; lifted the lid and pressed the power button and Lo And Behold there was the desktop -- something many Puppies / Puplets won't do!

I do believe that I'll be able to convince her to spend a little dough on this old can to revive it a goodly bit. Her current laptop is an HP Compaq tc4200 lappy/tablet "convertible" that's actually worse even though the hardware is better... WinXP as well for the OS, but I'm not sure that's the whole problem (for once) -- that laptop was HORRIBLY designed, I can't say enough bad things about it. Suffice to say that even replacing RAM is a nightmare...

EDIT: one other compliment -- the built-into-the-laptop USB ports on the VAIO died a long time ago. Connectors wore out from use. So we have a CardBus 4port USB hub, and it works BEAUTIFULLY with Upup -- I've had a couple Puppies that didn't like that hub for some reason. Not here. Sound works, everything "just works". It's a far cry from Windows for sure! (But that's kinda the point of Puppy to begin with, lol.)

Overall: nicely done, SIR!

3.10-rc3 does look interesting, but being somewhat 'old-fashioned', things like starting with an empty /dev directory worries me slightly. 3.10 as I understand it, is suppose to create what you need and use 'on the fly'.

3.9 is already up to 3.9.4 and works beautifully when built with the kernel-kit.

Hwinfo

In 3.8.7, at terminal command line, Hwinfo shows libhal.so.1 missing
on a fresh frugal install.

Hmm, newer packages! Waiting for the next release.

This runs nicely on my old Dell D810, but it won't recover from suspending properly. Nothing but a black screen when I open the laptop lid. To be fair, I have the same problem on every distro with a kernel later than 3.6.2. Something changed somewhere, and my laptop just doesn't deal with it. Raring sure does look nice though.

"but it won't recover from suspending properly"
Very few puppies does?????? Maybe Pemasu has tried to fix it.
If he has not wrote about it in first page then maybe he has not promised
it to work. Sure I can be wrong but it used to be a very rare thing such work.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

I tried this on my mother's Sony VAIO VGN-S360 -- suspend works -- but you do have to press a key or the power button for it to come back up.

Suspend relies to the acpi properties of the kernel. It has been under repetitive development. With good and bad. Latest kernels has not been so good with waking up from the suspend to the ram. I have noticed. I am afraid there isnt much I can do for it if the suspending or waking up is problematic...other than compiling newer kernel and hoping that the problems have been fixed.

It just is that I wont spend much time atm beside comp. I wait for the rainy days first. Lol.

About what key to press. I think any key is okay for waking up. Just an input from the keyboard should initiate waking up.

pemasu is right, at least in my experience -- which key doesn't matter.

No luck at all with button pressing. Once it suspended, it was gone. But what did work is swapping out the kernel with 3.2.29 from Upup Precise. I don't know if I'm missing out on anything by using the older kernel. So far, everything works fine, including suspend and resume when closing and opening the laptop lid. It seems pretty snappy too, but that just be me.

applications from ppm (lxpanel for one) and it's working great.
I like the newer applications in this puppy :)
