Trusty Tahr-rc2 EmSee CE - 11 October 2014
Trusty Tahr-rc2 EmSee CE - 11 October 2014
Built from Woof-CE-testing, kernel 3.16.5-EmSeeV3 32bit non pae.
There is one insignificant bug, when opening palemoon browser, an error message about dbus daemon, I tried to solve it but couldn't. That doesn't affect the great user experience with this distro.
Wether or not this will be the base for EmSeeV3 depends on my woof-ce Utopic build, final outcome.

+1. Any would be better than none. Author's choice.stemsee wrote:... but for new users that might be less easy.
Functionality and performance is good as these are some of the most important features.
Needs SAMBA (10MB) to make LAN integration simple. Repo approach has always been much too confusing for users needing simple content sharing.
I offer this as an idea that "many/most users are OOTB users coming into Puppyland". They want functionality!

Palemoon was simply the default in DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS in woof-ce.I didn't edit that file at all. I simply furnished rootfs-skeleton with a few customisations. It was just an experiment to see how it would build.
I have no intention of NOT supplying a browser. I think that is a 'ridiculous' suggestion/request/observation. I also have no intention of supplying every browser ... although EmSeeV3 wants to leave nothing to the imagination

Hi stemsee
Thanks for this new puppy/kernel combo....
Tried it on my desktop - it failed to detect my wireless keyboard and mouse so it was unfortunately DOA for me.....press of power switch required.

do you mean it is a kernel/modules deficiency? Or maybe hal?
Don't know I'm afraid - and as I can't talk to the booted system I can't get any diagnostic info for you.
It's not a kernel problem though - I've dropped your kernel into both LxPup14.09 (i.e. Slacko6) and into TahrPup5.8.3.rc1 and in both cases the wireless keyboard and mouse work as expected.
Tried a usb wired keyboard.....also didn't work...

Some more feedback - after testing on my HP550 laptop....
Broadcom b43 firmware as present in most/all? puppies seems to be missing - copied it across from another pup into /lib/firmware and then my wifi worked.
No problems with keyboard/touchpad on the laptop.

No Partition for a Save file?
G'day,
Did a manual install for a Frugal to an empty emseetahrpup subdirectory on my Frugals Partition (sda7) which boots up OK, but when I attempted to make a save-file during first shut-down, it reports no suitable partition for a save file (red box) and then shuts down. Happened twice.
sda7 is 49GB with 14% free space. There are two hard drives (14 partitions on each) with a good proportion of free space on most partitions.
Haven't seen this with any other CE Pup.
Also have no right-click menu to speak of - is this intended?
Have not checked iso download yet.

OK ... Time to 'fes up. After creating the new tahr build, I spent some time trying to get connected to wlan, turns out it was ssl. However I did create some links and stuff and installed uninstalled other stuff .... then on top of that I remastered several times while testing my new sfs-direct-remaster app .... so maybe just maybe (read probably) I didn't reverse everything. Not to worry though as I now know exactly what I should have done, and so expect a fresh pristine iso soon.
No right click menu! As this is only the base system and not the fully furnished EmSeeV3: I reserve the right to share as is and give the user freedom to install/uninstall what s/he will. Rest assured that EmSeeV3 will have right click menu and more in due course of time, as I am resolved to pillage all useful scripts from others as I find them!!

I had an issue with ABI Word 3.0.0 shutting down on me just as I was going to save. This is probably not an issue with your distro but with the constant instability that is "ABI". Still, I felt it was worth mentioning. I respectfully request that you consider dumping ABI in future releases for a more stable Libre or OO.

Wallpaper changes
G'day,
Just another little oddity.
When the initial boot-up settings box pops up for me to set my language, keyboard, time zone, etc, there is the contoured grey background as per the first post pinboard image.
When automatically re-starting X after I put in my details, the MU Puppies wallpaper (as per latest Tahr Pup (5.8.4)) appears with the new X.

regarding openssl .. replace the openssl line in DISTRO_PKG_SPECS with this to use the ubuntu version
also are you using the z_tahrfix package, as that contains loads of accumulated bugfixes for tahr .
the missing righclick menus are related to the new ptheme and will probably take some setting up.
Code: Select all
yes|openssl0|libssl0.9.8|exe,dev>null,doc,nls| #old version.
yes|openssl|openssl,libssl1.0.0,libssl-dev|exe,dev,doc,nls
