The newer alsawizard is definitely buggy. There are similar reports in the spup thread.
Yes, We had established that and we reverted in 245 or 246. However, in experimenting today I accidentally left the new one in the iso I built.
I cannot decide whether to rush out lupu-517 like in an hour, or to hold my breath until I turn blue!
I am thinking it is a good beta, except for that.

PLEASE do not shoot yourself in the head - we need you and would be lost without you

Congrats new thread!

Great, and confirmed
playdayz wrote:The yaf-splash call in save2flash has been modified, to avoid localization problems..
Also comfirmed.
BTW,
Code: Select all
yaf-splash -font "8x16" -text "日本語"
shows the UTF-8 characters correctly, while '/usr/X11R7/bin/yaf-splash -font "8x16" -text "日本語"' doesn't.
It's nice but i am puzzled...

That's a colloquial saying where I live, but I was worried to say it on the forum. Never any worries
I changed it to more describe my level of maturity.

A quick slap to the head with a Duh!
That would do!

Which order SHOULD PETs/SFSs be added to Puppy?
Posted: Wed 22 Dec 2010, 22:30
by gcmartin
Puppy packages are available from either/both of two(2) spots on the Puppy desktop: "install" icon AND from "quickpet" icon.
Which should I use as a first?
Thanks in advance
@playdayz
P.S. If you shoot yourself, can I have your computer before the revenuers get it?
And, if you want a recommendation on what kind of shot to use (don't use bird shot), try Tennessee Moon. It much better than Kentucky Gentleman in my opinion. Holiday Spirits... you know.

The usual manual frugal install of 516 on the old P3 test box...everything working on initial boot.... including sound. everything looks good.
Also in the process of upgrading Lupu 515 w/ Trinity /kde to 516......

Just tried installing a new Frugal of Lupu 516 on the main FAT32 partition on the K6. Still can't create a working lupusave. This is a serious problem. Will report back tomorrow.

Updated a frugal and a full installation of lupu-515. New installation with KDE trinity. All three working good, even Gnome-mplayer which has given me problems since luci-243.
Kudos and Merry Christmas,
Jim

In 5.15 there was a button in Quickpet to get the Devx. Now it is no longer there.
Not that I need it, just wondering..

Whichever you prefer, of course
Quickpet will now show you if more than one version is available. PPM has *all* the pets, but Quickpet has the one-click SFS's. Tough choice.

The wired network,sound,and screen resolution all good on first boot.
I did a frugal install of 516 and used grub4dos.
I got the devx the new way and already had the kernel sources sfs on
the hard disk along with the newest nvidia driver for my card.
I installed the nvidia driver.
I think it's good that the files that are needed to install the latest nvidia
or ati drivers are easily available to the user if they want to use them.
I changed my desktop a bit

Looks like a nice wide button labeled GCC on your copy.

Test Lupu516.
CD-Live : it autobooted fine but had the wrong Time...
Reboot ... pupsave (ext3) same thing. So I used Psinc Time.
sound is good (tray-icon of volume: OK )
Gimp: OK
Video is good. Perhaps glxgears is slower (-10% ). Nvidia 260.19.12
Thanks.

Yes, I know, because it was there in 5.15. The funny thing is I sent a screenprint of it, to someone who was missing it in 5.15

Lobster proofing Bert
Install Puppy any way you like and you will get the button, it won't show when running pfix=ram (PUPMODE=5
)
It will disappear once you have installed the devx too,,
Cheers
