Upup Raring 3.9.9.1

#83 Post by Jim1911 »

Hi pemasu,

It's working great although I still have the mounting problem for an ntfs partition. Your new sfs for VirtualBox appears to work fine. Although, there is a newer version available from Oracle. I did add their Extension Pack which is required to activate some USB features and it installed fine.

Thank you for another super distribution.
Jim

Hi Pemasu,
thanks having "fished" this |>--3.9.9.1- (°> new «fish» from island... :wink:
pemasu wrote:Charlie6. If I understand correctly you should have azerty in Rox. Instead you have qwerty...
in this 3.9.9.1 rox "Rename" function still writes qwerty while keyboard settings are be-latin1 (i.e. belgian azerty)
pemasu wrote:About xorg intel_drv.so driver problem with brookdale graphics...
this can be solved either
with:
- loading intel 2.21.6 debian package (i personaly picked up it from the former 3.9.9 and made a pet)
or
- upon boot-up,
1. right click somewhere in the black screen area to let the main popup menu be displayed (only icons, no text);
2. then point on the bottommost icon (i.e = Shutdown) to let the side menu and have the side popup menu displayed having red X icon standing for "X restart" in it;
3. click on this red X ...and it is done. The X desktop comes fully dipslayed.
4.Then select Menu/Setup/QuickSetup first-run settings to achieve locale settings as usual.
Cheers, Charlie

Charlie6. If you run in console: keymap-set
....and choose your keyboard setting with it. Does it fix the Rox-filer right click problem ?

I went to fresh-1st-boot raring-3.9.9.1, and run quicksetup first settings:
abiword and gnumeric display azerty when i type azerty;
as also rox rename .... :shock: ..!!??

but geany display qwerty instead .

I then run keymap-set in console + select be_latin1; then closed and reopened geany: OK ! it displays azerty now :)

This post typed from that very session ... :)
Thanks!
Charlie

Charlie6. Quicksetup runs keymap-set command and Upup Raring definitively has your wanted keyboard map. I am quite amazed what goes wrong. It looks like the quicksetup does not behave as it should. I suppose you have used quicksetup for your keyboard map selection.

Hi Pemasu,
pemasu wrote:... I suppose you have used quicksetup for your keyboard

Yes i have !
I use to adjust quicksetup
- fr_BE for locale
- GMT Europe Brusels
- be_latin1 keyboard map
whenever booting-up pfix=ram

Yesterday when running keymap-set in console, be_latin1 was in first topmost position in the keymap-sets keyboard maps list.

This morning, i booted-up using a live-cd having the former 3.9.9 version, and again i got rox displaying qwerty when typing azerty.
I also booted-up on 3.9.9.1 with:
- 1st: adjusting the quicksetup kbd map to azeryy (Tandon); again rox display qwerty ....
- 2nd: run keymap-set and adjust to be_latin1; again got rox diplaying qwerty.

Typing in abiword, gnumeric, geany works OK as expected. Rox only has that behaviour.

Hi pemasu,
In its default UXA mode, this build doesn't have any of the above desktop distortions. I want to set it straight. Those happened only when I attempted to have SNA as accel method. And it runs pretty fast. Fast to the extent, that I'm re-thinking my position on SNA vs UXA for my eeepc. I want to compile video-intel driver myself and do 2 versions of it - SNA only + UXA only. That would be the best way to chose the right one for this machine, I think. And looking at charlie6's effort on compiling mesa - I want to do that too. Any advice, hints, cflags from both of you, or anyone who cares to share, will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,
gnumeric-1.12 displays cells «shadow» when using freeze panes (see shot attached).

This does not happen if not using freeze panes.

Request for update to Bibletime 2.9.2

#91 Post by Jim1911 »

Hi pemasu,

I reported previously that no text is visible in Bibletime on Raring compatible pups due to recent Ubuntu Raring updates. It has been confirmed as a Raring bug, however the recent update of Bibletime 2.9.2 has fixed this bug. We just need to package Bibletime 2.9.2 for puppy if possible.

Thanks,
Jim

Speaking of Bible-study apps ...

Has anyone visited bible.org lately?

They updated and it's lot easier to use.

Type a search word or phrase into the first window and it brings up all of their related resources for study.

Nothing required but a browser and Internet access.

I posted a daily OT chronological study, broken into 7-day groups, as well as chronological Gospels and the rest of the NT in canonical order and now all I have to do is enter my name to find it.

From inside the study each heading has the texts to be covered - a mouse-over pops up the Bible text.

In the Bible text pop-up is "Read More" - clicking that brings up a split screen - full Bible text on the left - with links to translator's notes on the right, as well as a Greek/Hebrew dictionary, commentary, etc.

A pretty amazing resource! For those who are interested.

Upup Raring 3.9.9.1 with non-PAE 3.9.9 kernel.

#93 Post by Billtoo »

I used the universal installer to do a frugal install to the hard
drive of a Gateway desktop pc.

VIDEO REPORT: Upup Raring, version 3.9.9.1

304 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.734 FPS

There is a bug in the universal installer in that while it installs to
the raring3.9.9.1frugal directory when you reboot for the first time
to create your savefile it will save to / unless you notice and change
to the proper directory.

I added applications with ppm,openbox_plus-1.5.3.pet and a few others
that's it so far.

Truly outstanding - a really luvly puppy in every respect - and fast, even on my 10yr old Acer laptop.

Using SeaMonkey to post this and all seems fine.

Running a manual frugal to an ext3 partition and booting with grub4dos.

Considering the age of the laptop and relatively meager resources, this is running extremely well. Thank you pemasu - much appreciated.

Just tried this on a Dell with a Broadcom BCM4312 & it refuses to recognize the wifi.

Anyone found a fix for this, please?

It's real late here so if it's available via a search I'll find it tomorrow ...

Edoc. You have to offer diagnostic data for trouble shooting. My crystal ball is dim today.

In console: pdiag

Attach the created tarball here to the thread.

It didn't create a tarball but rather a folder with a bunch of files ...
