I recommend users run 'shutdownconfig' from a terminal before first shutdown to create a reliably loaded savefile. Pupsaveconfig is there but....try it.

New Kernel 3.15.8-pae

Hello @StemSee.

This distro, thus far, bring a very responsive desktop that every user can enjoy. I like how the eSpeak application provide instructions, no matter, if the user is sighted, hearing, or NOT. This covers users with and without handicaps. (The OOTB speaker operation should not be muted, though.)

This is one of the few full-featured PUPs which adapts to all walks of users; namely those with/without Arts abilities, those with/without Handicaps, those with/without Linux in-depth skills.

Excepting for the placement of FirstRUN :wink: I find this one of the most exciting distros in the kennel in its approach, flexibility, and its delivery.

Both this link and the one in the first post lead to the md5.txt file. Is there a download link for the new iso file? Thanks

Hi Step

After i uploaded the new iso remastered with Unattended-Remaster, my newest version, I found that wine apps stopped functioning so i deleted the link to the iso. I am currently fixing the problem and taking the opportunity to upgrade Skype to 4.3.0.37 and Samba, and Unattended-remaster script which now has neede boot files, and finds vmlinuz, initrd.gz and zdrv (kernel-modules.sfs) from the running system, to cauto create iso.

Please be patient. I will re-upload either tonight or tomorrow

However the link you are quoting is for skype-4.3.0.37.sfs and it is correct!!!

#51 Post by stemsee »

Currently remastering with a much improved Unattended-Remaster script which now copies generic boot files, gets sfs name from DISTRO_SPECS, has new names for directories and copies initrd and vmlinuz from running system, auto-creates an iso if path to appropriate boot files is supplied and found, and is considerably faster and more informative.

Upgraded apps include: vlc, java RE, skype, google chrome, libreoffice, viewnior, cups, Google Earth, gparted, xvkbd, ffconvert, pupsaveconfig, xhippo-3.5, pavrecord, precord.

New: muCommander, kernel-3.15.8,pulseaudio,

Gone: seamonkey browser, leafpad, xemerelda, ppstream.

Hooray muCommander. Probably the most flexible filemanager ever in Puppyland. A GEM for PUP developers, everywhere! And a powerhouse for user use.

Those who have not tried it, yet, you must see this!

As of August 10, there is no link to the 2.2 ISO, only md5 is linked in the first post.

@Raffy

The iso was accidentally stripped of essential wine AppData, that is why google earth and other wine apps didn't work. All fixed now and I am updating a lot more stuff before uploading a new iso! Needs a couple more days I think as I keep finding new stuff and adding refinements to my own scripts.

Thanks for your patience!

stemsee

A plus tard!

@gcmartin

Do you notice that alsa hasn't been updated since 2012 ! Or did i miss the link?

@blueskin148

Anyway I think you are using the wrong grphics driver - vesa - instead of either intel-kms, amd-kms or nvidia-nouveau kms kms = kernel mode switchig = accelerated graphics. Go to Menu > Setup > Xorg Video wizard > xorgwizard and choose an appropriate driver with kms.

So the situation with EmSeeV2.3 now is:

Upgraded, wine-1.7.24, cups-1.7.4, chrome, libreoffice, alsa utils/firmware/tools/etc, java jre, minecraft-1.7.10, Skype lates, Pavrecord, Precord, Googel Earth, Samba, fixstatus, Unattended-Remaster, ursync, UExtract, Viewnior, mtpaint, icons per res, other stuff.....vlc

Removed: ppstream, seamonkey,

Added:Darksnow, icecast, DoMyFile, Tor Browser (latest), xvkbd, canon scangearmp, candi, canon mg3250 drivers, makepfile (debiandog savefile creator), pupsaveconfig.

I have decided to use only normal xz compression, so the main.sfs will be bigger, but faster, gz compression would be even faster but also bigger.

Issues with loading pupsaveconfig savefiles (initrd.gz related), missing icons for nettray, and Welcome1stboot investigating.)

I will probably not produce any more ISOs for EmSeeV2+ ... next will be V3. I would like each person who downloadsV2.3t to donate £1 thankyou!

#60 Post by stemsee »

iso uploading now.

But...

This is one step back. V2.2 Most of the big updates included. Overall this is very satisfactory. And better than what i first tried for.

Anything not added will be for the next edition.
