I installed SDL pet and libgl* debs and I get this when I want to run some games:

# ./neverball
X11 driver not configured with OpenGL

I compiled neverball on dpup beta4 it worked good, after installing sdl and glx/dri on beta5 it doesn't run with that message.

EDIT: Also with other games installed from debian:

Code: Select all

# torus-trooper

SDL tells that the following fullscreen resolutions are available:

Beta5 will be the last Dpup(non-retro kernel) to have Xvesa support, we will be moving to generic vesa in Xorg, as per all major distros...
The retro kernels when released will still have Xvesa.

Cheers

That should make it easier to run in VirtualBox.

Want to see if a frugal will cleanly unmount the partition at shutdown. Beta4 didn't.
Has this problem been reported before...I certainly haven't had any problems unmounting at shutdown....has anyone else had this problem...

Yeah, this one is a pain, and as Béèm said, it appears when you do an fsck. I put pfix=fsck in my kernel line in grub's menu.lst, in my usual frugal installs so fsck checks file integrity every startup, and is constantly reporting unclean shutdowns. I did not do this with Dpup test installs , however, so forgot to mention it here.

Also as Béèm says, it's been around for most puppies since, I believe, 4.x.

One workaround a user reported was to use the kernel switch PMEDIA=ataflash even on a hard drive instead of the more usual PMEDIA=satahd or idehd. This one does cleanly close. However, it has the disadvantage that you can lose work between the periodic automatic saves if power drops out.

It would be great to actually solve this problem, if that's possible. It creates an insecure feeling about shut-downs for me. Even if pfix=fsck corrects things.

EDIT that's ataflash, not usbflash

firstrun frugal experience:
* numlock is deactivated
* setting firstrun use wbar
* apply settings -> immediate(!) x server restart; that was a little unexpected and killed my running firefox
* ok, icons are gone from desktop, but wbar doesnt show up
* doing a reboot, writing to savefile
* icons are back again, no wbar
next i'll check apt support

Beta5 will start in about 10 minutes...should only take 5-10 minutes to upload...

Wahoo!

Never used that one.

I got this in several puppies already.
Can't remember them all, but the latest case was with upup476.
Haven't checked for a dpup yet.

Booted up beta5, opened no programs, shutdown, got an not cleanly unmounted when I checked the partition that has the pup save.
My hard drive is a bit different, shows up as sda instead of hda even in older linuxes that usually see hard drives as hda.
If I go to archlinux instead of running e2fsck, archlinux says the same thing, checks the hard drive, pauses for 15 seconds, and reboots

Just finished a full install on my P3 test computer.Used First Start Wizard to set internet connection and start wbar.....no problems.

Numlock not on by default here either.

Sorry, brainslip, that's ataflash, not usbflash.

* installing stuff via package manager to get the aqualung (debian version) running

* getting a dead X-server

; here a bit from the xorg log

Code: Select all

Fatal server error:
lockup
...
Ring end
space: 130724 wanted 131064

FatalError re-entered, aborting
lockup

and here is the rest http://pastebin.ca/1694567

* being dropped out, going with alt+ctrl+1 to console and start xwin, but that won't help
* reboot..
* icons AND wbar are here

that dying x server i already got with beta-4, but then i had thought i had fumped up my configuration there.

so, not too lucky with beta-5 on this machine ( fujitsu lifebook, p1510-d that is )

new to liniux - previous post went to wrong place
hopefully this one will be to correct location

just downloaded and began using dpupbeta5 and encountered the following problems

control panel - opens from wbar however none of the items under user settings, hardware, drives and misc work. I changed from pcp3 to pcp2 and all now work except Add/Remove under user settings

Gnumeric - when click on format cells, program immediately closes

Console - when opened, tabs and view buttons in top left of screen do not work

please bear with me as I am x windoze user

I tried doing an ext2 file system chck of the Dpupdave file from Puppy 4.3.1 scsi and got a message saying it did not recognize the dpupsave file as being an ext2 file system. and to try some block something on it.
I am dumb when it comes to that, so I left it alone.
All of us have been using e2fsck or fsck to check our pupsaves and partitions.
Does it work correctly with later file formats such as ext3 and ext4 file systems?
Has anyone ever asked or just assumed it did??

There is no need to double post.

Using my Sith admin powers I was able to delete your empty post . . .

Yes - clicking on icon images = not working
you can click on text and they work
I believe Guy is in the process of rewriting this from Pascal to C++
so a bug

please bear with me as I am x windoze user

and I thought I was the personification of wikidness
Are there many of you I wonder . . .

Guy and team Dpup
Beautiful work
Clean screen and wbar - it is SimplePup again - hooray!

I burnt to a CD (normally I use a DVD-RW but will pass on this copy)
The dpup.sfs was slow to load on initial startup but I would expect improves after save or HDinstall. Anyway it is a big file and worth the extras included.
Been playing with sound - no luck with drec or mhedit
but I do like drec
- tutorials will be so easy

Will a restart JWM be implemented later?

Got it looking hunky-dory! Fun fun fun. Love wbar!

Sorry Béèm, I forgot it...yes it will be in...

On another note, the APT/Synaptic addon will not be up till tomorrow, and there will also be a Cinelerra 4.1 addon for Dpup.

I just found out as a circumvention, that going in jwm configuration can restart jwm as well.
