(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

I'm a mostly newbie and have found that Upup Raring works beautifully on a Dell Latitude laptop (~2009). I don't know much about how puppies work, but if the performance improvements have to do with Ubuntu Raring's focus on performance improvements, it's amazing. Even faster than Precise 5.6.1 -- faster bootup and especially shutdown, apps like Puppy Package Manager much faster to start than on Precise. Broadcom wireless continues to work out-of-the-box, unlike Ubuntu/Mint 13.04 derivatives. Thanks to all for their work on this puppy.

I did a manual frugal install to a 4gb flash drive, running on a hp
desktop pc.

Working well on this one too.

Hi folks!

Upup Raring 3.8.7 is an excellent Puppy ....but does not save CPU Frequency settings .

Or is it maybe just me ?

Hi there !!
SOLVED

...."but does not save CPU Frequency settings" .

Bullshit ...... everything works fine

Hello, mikeslr,

Are you talking about me, musher0 (pronounced "musher-zero")?

Long story short, the zero ("0") means that I am not leading a team any more, that I'm just a regular dog now.

If so, what did I cover more accurately?
Not that I'm fishing for compliments, but it would be nice to know!

Best regards.

Hi pemasu,

Time to stop catching those rays and get back to the kennel me thinks!
We have seen very little of the sun here in the U.K. The youngsters seem to favour sun beds which accounts for their strange orange appearance! (We call it a “fake bake

Barry wrote:Extra notes

I compiled the 3.9.5 kernel in Raring Puppy (built from Ubuntu Raring Ringtail DEBs).

Some features:

Configured with PAE support, so recognises up to 64MB RAM.
Minimum of a Pentium Pro (i686) CPU.
No support for ISA/EISA bus cards (support for motherboards with PCI).
The f2fs (Flash Friendly File System) is enabled, builtin.
devtmpfs enabled, so the kernel creates device nodes in /dev (and not udev).
The kernel loads module firmware (and not udev, though will fallback to udev if cannot load).

There are linux_kernel and linux_header PETs available for Woof to build Raring Puppy.

Hopefully, pemasu will also apply this trick to Firefox in his future builds: http://www.bkhome.org/blog2/?viewDetailed=00291
Looks interesting.

I wouldn't urge him to get back here immediately, though. He's worked hard and deserves to decompress a little bit.

Hopefully when he does it will include suppprt of my intel audio chop, as he did with his current Raring.

I don't see a contradiction here.
Barry is talking about his personal experience of compiling Seamonkey. Given, he's been working on Puppy for ten years already, he's got some experience to share as does someone who's working on Slax. He's discussing compression, not rocket science. On a good day and under the best of circumstances, perhaps I could have come to the same conclusion ... if I had a little bit of Barry's knowledge.

Hi pemasu,

Due to health problems, I am late getting to check this out. However, I have found it to be very stable and most everything works as it should.

Main problem is being unable to install my printer. I installed the hplip_print-3.12.4.pet which works for me most of the time.

Only other problem noted is that Bibletime installed from Ubuntu repositories will not display text. This is an Ubuntu problem though, since the same problem occurs with Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail. A pleasant surprise is that Xiphos installed with the PPM from Ubuntu repositories and works perfectly. I've also installed Wine and am able to run my favorite Windows programs: Bible_Analyzer, e-Sword, and theWord

Thanks for a great distribution. Looking forward to your version of Barry's latest.

Thanks again,
Jim

I have attempted to install wine (both the pet version and ubuntu version) and both times I end up with an error message

wine: cannot find L

Still running with no real problems. I'm passing on Barry K's latest since he returned to the pae kernels.....be sticking with this version.

Running Upup Raring on a eepc 1001HA (N270) from USB stick. Nice work !
video and wifi work fine. Nice feature that you have implemented the power modes in form of the laptop tool (from puppeee ?).

Impressive set of apps are included. This by far exceeds whats included in the Slacko builds. The only thing I didn't find at first glance is an e-book reader. But that is easy to fix.

Wil play with this a little more, and report findings here.

Thanks Pesamu...

Thanks Volhout. I have used fbreader from the Puppy Package Manager. It is nowadays Qt libs application. So...you unfortunately get a lot qt libs with it. But those qt libs works with other apps also. Like Smplayer, VLC etc...

I havent included old fbreader pet anymore. The qt lib based Raring repo version works fine. I have read quite a lot books at evenings now. Having leisure time still. epub and mobi versions. Raring fbreader handles them fine. I think that I dont have .mobi straight mime coupling, but is in the todo list. Lol.

And thanks to other posters also. I enjoy using Puppies....Upup Raring, Upup Precise, Dpup Wheezy and even Dpup Exprimo with my daily comp usage. But no creative or productive usage. Just used them as end user.

Still have great summer in Finland, Now 26 c in shadow. Yesterday 30 km trip on the road with poles and rollerblades. Next night I go to the fishing. I installed navionics gps plotter map application to my samsung android phone so that I know where I am going. I also ordered fishing sonic device for the boat so that I know the actual deepness and profile of the lake bottom. And maybe I even see some fishes with it. Gonna have some jigging experience.
But next night is for wobblers.

G'day pemasu,

When you mention enjoying your warm summer, and have yourself a new navionics app, I wonder if your new GPS system can measure the 'Holocene' rebound I assume is happening to your part of the world?
According to geologists, Scandinavia is possibly rising about 1cm per year, recovering from being under a kilometre or two of ice for quite a while until about 20,000 years ago.

Time to buy some downhill skis for winter?

Hi Pesamu,

I hope you caught a lot of fish last night....

It is hard to imagine what the world looks like up there in Finland. Your winters must be long, and so "unfriendly" that you spend a lot of time indoors. En when summer finally lands, you cherish it and spend all the time you have outside. The winters are for Puppy (or e-books), the summers outdoor fun. Enjoy it !!!

Back to fbreader: didn't find it in
http://www.smokey01.com/pemasu/pet_packages-upup/
or anywhere on the server.

Did you suggest to take it from the Ubuntu packages ?

Regards,

Volhout
