Finally, done building everything. I fought with mplayer2 and re-alpine for hours - I have no idea why building fails.
Eventually, I replaced re-alpine with Mutt, msmtp (my love!
) and Abook, but mplayer2 has no replacement
I uploaded everything as a huge tar containing both sources and PETs generated on my computer - but
be careful, as I haven't installed them. They were not generated using dir2pet, so I don't know whether the format is 100% OK - maybe I missed something when I wrote the script that makes them.

Non-PAE or use a retro driver
Posted: Sat 15 Dec 2012, 23:51

G'day pemasu,
Thinking of all you up-over as the temperature here heads upwards of 30 (C not F).
I expect you won't be releasing a "retro" Upup version for the few like me who have a desktop with a perfect record of display failures with PAE Puppies (and a perfect record of success with non-PAE versions).
My desktop's motherboard & CPU are PAE-complient. It has 2GB of RAM so does not need the PAE if I understand what PAE is.
I think it is my Radeon HD5450 graphics card that has the problem of randomly failing (black-screen - then 'no graphics detected' message) after several minutes of happily running a PAE Puppy such as Upup Precise-5.4x5 in Frugal form.
If mine is a PAE-version driver problem, would the radeon driver from a good retro fix the problem in the PAE version?
Thanks for any feedback,
David S.

davids45. It is question of time and dedication.
It seems my next year will start very hectic. It can be even that I wont have any time to create puplet updates. Let`s see.
Our station will meet the boss next wednesday and we will hear if we will get any employee help.
If not....I am afraid I will be too occupied and too tired to do other than recovering...which I will probably do by skiing.
So....atm it looks like I wont create and update another Precise Puppy version. But you never know.
No Audio

This problem was noticed and reported in the main Precise Thread...as far as I know it was never addressed.
Slack 5.4 detects my audio hardware as
Intel Corporation Panther Point High Definition Audio Controller
VENDOR: 8086 DEVICE: 1e20
KERNEL MODULE: snd_hda_intel
It works....if I select that in the Alsa Wizard in precise, I get no sould at all...as far as I can tell, I've made all the correct checks/changes to alsa and retrovol settings
Thanks in advance for any help.

I continued to work on Extract-pet over the weekend.
It's localised and finished now

You should switch to using pupmd5sum by 01micko. I've improved
it to version 0.8 (bottom of page)
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=78276
I'll look into saving the md5sum to a file. Doesn't the file need
a special format???
Such as the name of file and md5sum all on one line.

I noticed the following in your md5sum file for
devx_precise_5.4.X.5.sfs.md5.txt at ol smokey site.
Is that a standard file??
Code: Select all
# MD5
a7a70b667dcb308e0ca832847c2d916f devx_precise_5.4.X.5.sfs
# SHA1

That has been created by gtkhash. It not the usual 3builddistro product. I had to manually fix devx sfs because valide pet pinstall.sh broke the building. It is fixed now in woof. So I had to manually create md5sum and I used gtkhash. That is when I noticed I lacked md5sum right click.
I have 0.8 version of md5sum already waiting in my next woof.
The name syntax would be the filename.md5.txt or filename.md5sum.txt
like: precise-5.4.X.5-SCSI.iso.md5.txt or precise-5.4.X.5-SCSI.iso.md5sum.txt
Woof 3builddistro uses filename.md5.txt so it might be familiar
The content can be as example just: 07a9d9fcdb39272fc13247dc7be4eaa1 precise-5.4.X.5-SCSI.iso

In my latest bash manual pet I put list of gtk icons.
It might be of interest to you since it's a simple script to add.

[quote="pemasu"][/quote]
pemasu - just got 545 two days ago... very nice... thank you
since it is Xmas time, and you live where all the reindeer are, I
felt a confession was in order... to assure efficient delivery of
toys and candy : -)
I never knew... never in practice... that each distro needed pets
compiled from its own repo... it just never popped up, until something
broke, and then everybody just laughed. It is a point of confusion, as
there are (Im guessing, from a non-expert perspective) SFS files which
work with /any/ puppy distro, yes ? That, and the fact I have tended to follow your
exprimo line, and just kept reusing older pets without problems... so now...
Upup-Precise just breaks totally when I try that, and I [discovered] this
necessity of recompiling from built in repo... whew... a lot of hot air I know,
but it might help somebody else, if there is anyone else in the puppylinux
community who has missed this for the past five years : -)
Anyway, happy holidays, and thanks again for an excellent Upup-Precise !

If I`m not mistaken, and pemasu correct me if I`m wrong...
Any Ubuntu based distro. should be able to use apps. from close releases.
And I think Ubuntu Multiverse and Universe packages should always work.
The package type shouldn`t matter at all ( .pet, .deb, .sfs, etc. ).

Im assuming you have replied to my post. I was not as clear on this point as I might have been, however, I did have specific problems loading PETs from my previous pemasu-distro
into upupPrecise... total shutdown and refused to work... until I compiled new pets from the precise repos.
Fine if thats the way it works... makes sense, with different kernels and whatever this would be the case... I am no expert.

Why this enormous font?

Answering to above posts. I do not have much experience. Many Lucid Puppy etc users are more experienced than me. Since I like compiling my own stuff, I havent tested even one Lucid Puppy based pet...or deb from previous Ubuntu versions.
But there is compatibility sure. I think it is library version upgrades/downgrades which might cause the problem.
That is another reason, why I dont include applications or libs to the base distro from previous Ubuntu versions. So that the base will be pure.
The users can test as much they want. I am sure many even want to test the build how they can brake it...what I have read from the feedback reports. Many posts has stated that they havent managed to brake the puplet yet....
When you do the tests in frugal installation, you just might destroy your savefile, nothing else... and you can post your succesful experiences in the thread if you want.
I wont though include apps or libs from previous Lucid Puppy or Ubuntu version....for example to my repo or to the base build.

Running Bootable USB
Sysinfo shows

Speaker icon in taskbar has X says speaker muted
Adjusting slider controls in Retrovol I get sound, but the volume control in the task bar does not control sound and shows speaker as muted.
Attempting to run alsamixer from prompt system reports:
cannot load mixer control: invalid argument
Any help appreciated

pemasu; Lucid is a few Ubu. versions back from Precise, so compatability...
Keeping distro. builds "clean and pure" is the only rational thing to do.
Like most software, new libs. seem to support older versions to a limit.
But older libraries will almost never work in place of the newer ones.
So old apps. can work in newer builds, but not vice-versa ( libs.).

Upup Precise 5.4.X.6 has been uploaded. I have used latest woof which Barry Kauler used for Precise 5.4.3.
Mainly this is bug fix release like Precise 5.4.3.
Wcpufreq has been updated. Nouveau kernel module is not blacklisted (woof bug, fixed now), Ubuntu databases updated, wallpaper by futwerk now the default one, pmusic tray plugin added, network_tray used by sns has been updated (shows external ip address with mouse tool tip and you can change tray icons for network with right click), some other small bug fixes which people posted to me through forum or by pm.
I tested with new jwm 588 and 589 versions. I got several times X crash and in kernel messages I noticed jwm seqfault message. So...I didnt upgrade jwm. I will see how jwm matures, but nice to see that Joe Wing is again in Christmas time working with jwm.
I was meant to include rerwin`s updated network diagnostic tool, pdiag, but now I noticed that I forgot to add it to the DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS-ubuntu-precise file, now added, will be in next release.
Smplayer-0.8.3 and Smtube-1.5 is now in pet_packages-upup repo. Use Lazy Fred ie
Precise repository downloader app to access my repo.
Tradietrakka Business Management application is now also in repo. Thanks scsijon for the tip:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=83290
Jim...invoice manager has been in repo before.
All these are qt4 apps.
