Wifi connection fails occasionally with Lupu version of "stay
connected".

Still good with original version.

Using 525. Installed jemimahs Frisbee, x-org high, and iron. Downloaded gimp sfs and java sfs (2 updates old ). and everything is working perfectly for me. I've yet to have any trouble. Thanks.

Something I compiled in lucid 511 based derivative.
Cbr image file comic book reader Cbrpager.

Those who like to test straight from the compilator. Experimental at this stage. lives-1.4.2.pet
Link to the Lives video editor. It starts but I dont know if you can really edit videos with it.

Are you sure you are turning it on--it is not on by default. Click the menu entry and then you can check in Pprocess--Search for stay-connected.

That little window is a bit confusing;
Will keep playing with it.

playdayz good that you told us I had no idea such existed either but luckily on ethernet I have not lost contact using Simple Network S... so maybe it is more critical with wifi?

we had a thread some time ago a few days ago a guy losing contact wifi maybe it was as simple as him on Lupu and did not new about that Pprocess thing and the setting there? I am in Lupu now. I have to go look then

There are no stay connected in that one at all?

You mean that explain why him loose contact and I would too if I used the Router and wifi?

Hello,
Testing Lupu 5.25 now...
Specs...
Compaq CQ56 laptop
Intel Celeron 900 2.2g processor w/ 1mb cache
2gb ram, 1 gb swap partition

Desktop auto configured correctly @ 1366x768
Installed RT5390 pet...
Installed Opera from Quickpet..
Wireless driver connected fine, persisted thru reboot...
Abiword, Geany, GMplayer all work fine...

Only complaint...How to enable scrolling in OB??
And can O/B roll windows U/D by scrolling the title bar??

Will test more and be back....

@EDIT:...Rebooted to jwm, realized no scrolling either..
Checked xorg.conf....wrong device (Samsung)...
Installed xorghigh from Quickpet..
Exit to prompt, ran xorgwizard, chose "Choose"..

Probably a badly burned CD.

Sorry I only do frugal install on the hdd. My Acer have no CD nor any DVD player and I am too "stingy"? to buy an external DVD player.

Can one use an internal DVD player externally on a Netbook?
I will go test latest iso again now and also what Stu came up with. A Lupu Lite 525

Check for a PM to you that might help.

Hi,
thanks Playdaz and all contributing forum members for this lupu-525...I love it!

Also got a lot of kernel panics along the various lupu_2XY story, and have fixed it - that looks trivial - first by checking if the md5sum of the on-partition-loaded-lupu_5XY.sfs matches to the one on the live-cd (this one supposed to be checked OK before and after burning !!): in each case the downloaded sfs was corrupted - perhaps...could be not enough space on partition and deleting some unused files probably have helped.
Fix: just have
1) to bootup from live-cd with pfix=ram
2) if necessary to make enough space on partition (check with GParted)
3) check lupu_5XY.sfs md5sum match
4) to copy again the lupu_52X.sfs from live-cd to partition.
Hope this helps !
Have fun!

Nice job as usual from playdayz who has to put up with a whole bunch of tough testors You really should get a medal !

525 is a piece of art.... nice to have a program where everything works the way it should!
Put it through loads of tests, so far no faults!

Now... 525 would just be perfect if one of the knowledge boys (girls) could get us a really nice 'SCREENSAVER' for the PPM

God luck on the next version playdayz

I agree with that.

Here's Chromium 12, a daily build from today. Were people having trouble running Chromium? This one works for me in Lucid 5.2.5. Like Iron 10, Chromium 12 seems to have its own video codecs, ffmpeg this time instead of libavcodec, so both would be worth trying for video junkies. First impressions, I would say that Iron 10 seems faster.

What could be changed that made it go into panic when 257 never did go into panic. is it totally random then or what?

Like Charlie6, almost always when I get kernel panic it is because of a bad CD or a CD that my old CD drive can't read 100% of the time. And that could write a bad lupu-525.sfs to a frugal install.

Hi everybody,

I am pretty new... so could be a trivial question !

I am running Lucid Puppy 5.25 through a USB pen drive.

I have a Samsung SF310 laptop which has "hda-intel Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition" as per the output of alsa sound config tool.

I follow the steps of the Alsa tool / reboot / but still have no sound.

Does anyone would see the problem ?

Thanks in advance for any answer.

Hello Folks:
I have installed 5.25. So far so good. I have removed a few applications including Abiword, gnumeric and home banking, since I use libre office most times. The menu still shows the help files for these removed applications.
How can I remove the help files? They do not show up in "Remove Builtin Packages" list.
Thank you!

Abiword, gnumeric and home banking, since I use libre office most times. The menu still shows the help files for these removed applications.

The easiest thing marco07 is to go to the directory /usr/share/applications and delete the files abiword_help.desktop, etc. Then when you restart the X server the menus will automatically be fixed, or you can run the command 'fixmenus'.

Those menu entries are nothing but the browser going to the Help site.

What would I do if I had sound troubles? (Let’s collaborate on this and prepare some Help for anyone with some troubles. Thanks.)

0. As strange as it sounds, wait a minute and a half after you boot up. We have had two reliable reports that this sometimes helps.

1. Right-click volume icon in system tray and choose Full Window--then make sure everything plausible is checked and turned up (Front, Main, PCM, etc.). It's different on each sound card.

2. If #1 did not work, I would reboot with the pfix=ram option, so that nothing I had done previously would cause trouble. After booting, try #1 again. Do not use alsawizard yet.

3. If no sound, open Menu -> Multimedia Tools -> Alsamixer (alsamixer, not alsawizard). Press F6 and that will show you what sound devices have been detected and configured. If yours is not the top one then arrow down and click it, then make sure everything plausible is turned up. I have to do this with my “second

Thanks playdayz!

Looks like great work guys! I would just like clarification on one point; Does the tool ( Menu > Setup > Remove built in packages) actually remove packages from the save file or only hide them from the user? If so it would seem to make Woof obsolete (for me at least)!

Thanks to all for all the hard work!

I think the bottom picture means you just turned Stay-Connect on and the top picture means that it is on and you could turn it off.

Someone will know better than me but previously it would hide packages *until* you remastered and they would then not be included in the remaster. Remastering is a great way to make puplets.

Remove builtin packages is best used before remastering
you can really remove apps so that they are not in remastered version.
