tahrpup 6.0.5 CE

i'm putting together a new iso of all fixes so far. This is just a bug-fix build, chiefly for new users so that they get a more complete iso.
it will basically be as similar as possible to tahrpup 6.0 with the service pack, fixed kernel and all bug-fixes so far.

it needs to be the same because tahrpup 6.0 and the new iso will be using the same updates from quickpet.

Hi,
Tas doesn't work because ffmpeg and some libraries lack.
I put together ffmpeg_2.5.2, libass5, libfdk-aac, libx265 in a pet and a sfs and it works fine.
ffmpeg is needed by pmusic and it's ok also for pmusic and a lot of other things.

Hi Philippe

You mean "Take a Shot!", right? If so, did you try v1.9?

Changelog wrote:Version 1.9:
- compatibility with avconv

I just checked in VBox with TahrPup-6.0.1 and it's still fine here...

Greetings!

Hi 666philb

Is the new iso pae or no-pae? I'm not aware that there is any way to tell is there? Never seen this aspect in any system reports......

Thanks
peebee

hi peebee,

it's noPAE... pupsys-info can show PAE, noPAE.... on the kernel info section

Thanks - can confirm that Broadcom wl driver built for new 3.14.20-nopae kernel build works.

# freememapplet_tray is not working
Segmentation fault when run in terminal

Hello 666PhilB

... pupsys-info can show PAE, noPAE.... on the kernel info section

This post IN NO WAY intends to enter into a discussion of PAE vs anything.

But, with @Shinobar's BIOS unlock for the few pesky PentiumMs AND THOSE MEMBERS REPORTING that it does work, would it reduce your build efforts should you include it. Couple other distro developers have produced PUPs which have the Intel "fix" exposing the hidden PAE. This patch allows PUPs to run on PCs with or without the PAE feature exposed from the processor.

This needs no reply. But, if you want to see for yourself, you might take a look in an effort to reduce your workload (of build, test, and support of 2 versions) to the community while at the same time providing a distro which addresses most every x86 PC in the world.

Hope this helps.

whilst it works for some there were others where it didn't work (from personal experience) so a noPAE option is definitely needed

Additional:

# freememapplet_tray is not working
Segmentation fault when run in terminal
after a reboot and savefile creation

==============

new ppm - auto uninstall - doesn't run the puninstall.sh script in the same way that the classic step by step uninstall does....

==============

only place I can find no-pae mentioned in pup-sysinfo is in the kernel log
the sys-specs - kernel report does not indicate

666philb · #491 Post by **666philb** » Fri 16 Jan 2015, 12:39

thanks peebee,

i noticed the freememapplet_tray problem ... i'm doing a build now using an earlier woofCE to see if it's something that's crept in there.

regarding the PPM , it's still in testing and you should post your findings here http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=96710

peebee,

The PAE status report was added to PupSysInfo-2.5.2 (07 Oct 2014), and will be included as well in version 2.5.3 (available soon).

Sys-Specs -> Base Report
Sys-Specs -> Kernel report
File -> Hardware Reports -> Summary and Complete

new iso uploaded

i used a woof before '/initrd/pup_rw' became a symlink and freememapplet_tray seems to be working properly now.

deleted some superfluous right click entries and fixed others
added ndiswrapper and also a 'depmod -a' on first boot to enable it
i'm considering adding ca-certificates to the build as some apps need them.

Of course you are right ! Tas1.9 works fine without ffmpeg.

I keep ffmpeg : a lot of things need it.

Couldn't possibly be that "freememapplet_tray" is a version that pre dates 'initrd/pup_rw' becoming a symlink?
("freememapplet_tray" did have to be patched at that time.)

666Philb:

I have been following your distro for a while and to be honest, I was a little disappointed when it first came out. Barry's Tahr had fewer flaws and though I liked the way Tahrpup cosmetically looked, I was unable to overcome some of the initial issues that were sticking out (don't ask me what they were, it's been a while).

Turning the page, your continued efforts to improve Tahrpup have clearly shown a significant improvement from the original offering. The test iso on the prior page is significantly better than the original. So I just wanted to personally thank you as this is now a pup that is both cosmetically pleasing but also a well polished pup.

Congratulations on your fine efforts and thanks for one of my favorite of my ever growing pup collection.

Best regards,

Slavvo67

There is a norm in Puppy land.

If you really want the thing tested and the bugs found.
Release it as the final release version.

The good thing with Tahrpup is 666philb did not walk away after he did the release version.

I too have seen much improvement with Tahrpup 6.0 CE from that initial release.

Thank you 666philb!!
