Precise Puppy 5.5alpha1
I saw the 5491 link so I downloaded the iso and did a manual frugal
install to a 4gb flash drive running on an EeePC 701 netbook.
The EeePC 701 is connected to a 19" lcd monitor.

Re: UDF support feedback
I tested partview and pmount with a udf dvd, they both work correctly.peebee wrote:I did notice however that neither Partview nor Pmount seemed to know that the dvd/filesystem was mounted....see screenie
If 'probepart' returns correct "udf" f.s. for the optical disc, then partview and pmount will also work correctly.

That had me puzzled for a moment, then I realised that Precise had been built with the wrong xchat PET.666philb wrote:the chat icon on the desktop is pointing to pidgin instead of xchat or mozchat. thanks for removing ayttm, it was a pain!!
The latest one I created is in the 'common' repo, and has a 'pinstall.sh' (post-install) script that fixes /usr/local/bin/defaultchat to run chat.
I have modified the package-list for precise in Woof:
Code: Select all
yes|xchat||exe,dev,doc,nls|pet:common #using this instead of ayttm.
I know there is also Chatzilla, but I was thinking at the time, might want to do a build without SM, or a cutdown SM that doesn't have Chatzilla.

irishrm.
I will rely on feedback, how well it works in 5.5alpha1, and whether it stomps on the toes of the other connection systems or not.

With ROX, I just drag a file, then when I release the left-button a menu pops up asking whether want to copy, move or link.
Does this way work OK for you?

Manual frugal install of 5.5alpha1(5.4.90) with k3.2.29 to an ntfs partition and booting via grub4dos from an SDcard. Emachines 732 laptop.
So far all seems good to this average user - everything seems to work as expected.
Very low on resource usage and temperature. Nice.
Report for your info.

Installed the non PAE build and everything seems fine. In fact more than fine. There's a phenomenal improvement in Flash Video that I can't explain.
I am using Seamonkey 2.15.2 and Flash 11.2.202.262 in both RetroPrecise 5.4.3 and 5.4.91 Alpha builds. glxgears reports 60 fps in both builds.
Decent resolution BBC iplayer Flash videos normally play ok for me in all versions of Puppy at their standard resolution window but normally are very jumpy or totally unwatchable in full screen mode (on this old laptop that is). However in the 5.4.91 alpha build the videos play fine in full screen mode. Flash hardware acceleration is enabled in both but Flash reports it is using software decoding and rendering in both cases.
I can also play higher resolution Youtube videos in full screen which I couldn't play before. The difference is like night and day.
I have never seen Flash perform as well in any previous build of Puppy Linux I've tried. Yes they all have used the Intel graphics driver. Anyone any ideas why the massive performance jump?

In testing the frisbee-1.0-20120209 package on my wifi-less PC, I am seeing problems. It aborts silently (actually hangs) when it accesses an invalid interface, "none". I am digging into it. Please consider this when deciding whether to include it. Maybe with a warning to not try it if no wifi hardware is installed. Or let users get the latest from the "frisbee beta" thread, where I work with others to perfect it.
BTW, I have already upgraded network_tray-2.6 to correct and improve handling of dialup connections. I will post it in the frisbee-beta thread.
Richard
UPDATE: I have fixed the above problem and uploaded newer versions of frisbee and the network_tray in the Frisbee beta thread:
frisbee: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 092#684092
network_tray: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 694#684694
Barring any surprises, they should be ready for the 5.5 beta.

mount.cifs broken
Hi Barry,
Thanks for another great puppy.
Prescise 5491
I couldn't get Pnethood or YASSM to connect to my Samba shares. I tried connecting on command line using the command I normally use in other Puppies:
Further investigation reveals there are two different mount.cifs, /sbin/mount.cifs (18k, 11feb13) and /usr/sbin/mount.cifs (23k, 7jul2010). Deleting either one doesn't seem to help.
Thanks for another great puppy.

problems with ACER aspire 7715z
Hi,
I tried the 2 versions : 5.4.91 and 5.4.90 and I have the same thing than with all others precise versions :
The last thing I see on the screen is "loading kernel modules".
But looking very carefuly, it can (hardly) see that the precise desktop is there.
If I link my computer to another screen with a cable, it's works on the other screen......
Please excuse my bad english
Is there anything to do with this problem ?
On Internet, I have seen that everybody has this problem with this computer and this new kernel (not only with puppy, but also with ubuntu)
Friendly yours

@jrb: Both YASSM and Pnethood are working fine for me. But I don't have any very long share names like you do.

Yes, it does. I usually copy that way, and use the right-click menu when it's a single file. Renaming a file, however, doesn't have a second option (not one that doesn't imply a second application, at least), yet the bug is so weird you can't tell when the screen will turn black after clicking the Rename option. I think I'll post again about this when I get some specific information, maybe it's something I installed.BarryK wrote:vicmz,vicmz wrote: I've seen this in Precise (the alpha version too), both in JWM and Openbox: when I right-click a file from ROX and select either Copy, Rename, or Move (several times, the one I use more frequently is Copy), the screen turns black, showing only the taskbar, then if I try to use other programs the taskbar disappears and all is finally black.
