I am using now newest x-precise 2.3 - is there a posibility to install some pup, which allows me to choose during the shutdown to save or not to save (as it was at x-precise 2.2)?

What kind of install do you have, USB?

Download and install this fix and see if that helps.

I was using x-precise 2.3 for a few days and sth is wrong with that save or not menu at shutdown. I have installed once some software just to test how it works - like spotify, chromium etc. then I chose to not save during shutdown, but despite I chose to not save, I have still spotify, chromium installed. The funny thing is that this software is now installed but it is not on uninstall list.

Are these pets or sfs? If they are sfs then update sfs-load to 2.0.8 and see if that sorts it out.

If these were pets: in PUPMODE=3/7/13 PPM copies packages' files directly into the savefile (pup_ro1), but all metadata goes to tmpfs (pup_rw), so not saving session results in exactly that kind of a mess - pet remains installed, but is not listed.
And this is only tip of the iceberg of possible mess this approach can make.

To avoid this, open up /usr/local/petget/installpkg.sh, find this line:

Code: Select all

if [ $PUPMODE -eq 3 -o $PUPMODE -eq 7 -o $PUPMODE -eq 13 ];then

(this line can begin also with elif, not if, in some of Puppies)
and replace with:

Code: Select all

if [ "ABC" = "DEF" ];then

(or elif, if this is the case)
what will make that everything will stay in pup_rw, until saved.

@Rg66: unfortunately, sfs_load-2.0.8 still causes vanishing of .wh files from pup_rw if PUPMODE=3/7/13 and SAVEINTERVAL=0.

Hi rg66

Thanks for X-precise!

Xprecise 2.3 on a USB install is almost perfect on my Toshiba Chromebook. Only two things - the Bluetooth and the touchpad - aren't working but then again a search on the web indicates this is true for other Linuxes.

There is a Toshiba touchpad patch in https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/4291581/

I'm not sure whether applying the patch in X-precise can be accomplished though a pet package or recompiling the kernel with the patch is the way to go. Either way I would very much appreciate if the fix is made available in Xprecise

Thanks in advance.

@ yerc1

I've never had any luck with bluetooth and puppy. Take a look at this link and give it a try. Read the xfce part.

http://themikex.blogspot.com/2012/05/bl ... linux.html

As far as the touchpad goes, I'm sure that requires patching and re-compiling the kernel. That's a bit much for me but I'm compiling the latest 3.15.1 kernel and will see if I can get X-precise to run with it. I've never had much luck with that either though.

[rg66]

If enough people are interested I will do a version 3.0 starting from scratch with compiled Xfce4 packages, this should fix the P3 / Athlon issue as it did with X-slacko.

If not, I will probably do a v2.4-final as precise puppy isn't being developed anymore.

I'll give the Bluetooth suggestion a go on the weekend.

Fingers crossed the recompile goes well.

Thanks for your response and for X-Precise.

rg66,

I love xprecise and I wish there is a way to get bluetooth working because I have a bluetooth mouse.

I have found a puppy that has bluetooth and it works with my bluetooth mouse. Thanks to CsipeszPup!

Precise 5.7.1 retro "CsipeszPup" released

http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=93679



But I tried the bluetooth.sfs csipesz provided in his CsipeszPup with xprecise (Xfce based) and it doesn't work unfortunately. The task panel disappears in xfce when bluetooth.sfs is loaded. Even though I disabled compiz fusion in xprecise, the bluetooth.sfs makes the task panel disappear.

I really hope there is a way bluetooth can work in xprecise or xslacko.

it is good to know that I don't have to turn to full ubuntu linux to get a linux that has bluetooth function. I actually enjoy puppy linux more than ubuntu.

[rg66]

I really hope there is a way bluetooth can work in xprecise or xslacko.

After a few hours of running around in circles I finally managed to get Bluetooth working in X-slacko. I couldn't browse my phone but I did transfer a file. I'll have to start from scratch and see which of the bazillion packages I installed are really needed.

Why X-slacko and not X-precise? I'm releasing X-precise-2.4 and calling it a day.

X-precise-2.4 delta's are available for download, ISO's coming soon.

This will be the final version of X-precise due to a lack of interest and the fact that precise puppy is no longer being developed.

Changelog?

I see that the patch for Toshiba track/touchpad didn't make it and so does bluetooth. Not deal breakers, but would have made this my perfect puppy.

I hope to see more of your xfce puppies after precise, rg66.
Thanks!

Although I couldn't have used that patch as is, I might have been able to manually add it. But, since I couldn't get X-precise to boot with a newly compiled kernel, there was no point.

Personally, I use X-slacko and find it much better than precise. 01micko is still developing it and has done an excellent job.

ISO's are up, thanks to Geoffrey.

Hi!

I tried x-precise

I got Firefox error!!
"Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to sceneaccess.eu. The OCSP response is not yet valid (contains a date in the future). (Error code: sec_error_ocsp_future_response)"

How can I resolve this?? Thanks

That can happen when your computer's clock and date is set incorrectly. Make sure it's set to the proper time and date. See this page for more information.

Thanks for the fast reply

I checked in BIOS. it is fine.
I am using linux from pendrive.maybe is it the problem?
