Hello Krishnamurti Naskar.

No, it is not based on a 3.x.x Kernel. LazY Puppy is based on Kernel 2.6.33.2.

So, LazY Puppy 2.0.2 Final will be available to download today, 16.06.2012. I am currently translating all offline information from German language to English language. This means: LazY Puppy 2.0.2 Final will have exactly the same offline information available in English as it is in German - which has never been the case in each and every previous version of LazY Puppy.

News about LazY Puppy 2.0.2 Final:

LazY Puppy 2.0.2 Final has now a fonts sfs (LP2_Fonts.sfs) that can be downloaded using the LazY Puppy Menu. The fonts sfs contains 250 free ttf fonts. I have downloaded these fonts from here

I did found this link on the forum, here (use entry posting 64)

You can find over 6000 free ttf fonts at this website and even (re-)build your own LP2_Fonts.sfs instead of downloading.

Uuppsss,

found a bug in the LazY Remaster Suite, that is only seen if using the English GUI.

FIXED!

I think, this bug has been already in the 2.0.2 pre iso. I am sorry for that.

Hi RSH,

I am waiting like a child on Christmas eve to see what I got under the Tree!!!!

Hmm, this tastes like milk and honey. I feel honored. Thank you very much, oldyeller.

Currently i have to translate just three more files to English language. All together are around 900 lines of HTML code, which means something around 300 to 400 lines of text to translate.

Then building the last ISO and WInInstaller files.

So, in Germany it is now 15:20, which means, my "German-Today" will have less than 9 hours to go. Within these less than 9 hours, of course i can finish the needed translations, build the files and upload them to the web.

Or to say it in other words: "Christmas-Happening" will be in less than 9 hours.

Can't wait to open my present thanks

oldyeller

OK!

All translations finished!

EN-ISO and DE-ISO already built!

I will now move trough the rainy evening to my Augenstern - she's waiting for me to have a lovely meal.

While having the meal the ISO files will be uploaded, which might take about 90 minutes from now.

So LazY Puppy 2.0.2 Final will be available to download at 23:00 GMT+1 (+ - some few minutes, i have slow internet connction).

Hello my Friend,

We all are looking forward to this with great excitement.


oldyeller

Hello!

Upload of DE-ISO started. After this i will upload EN-ISO. Each one needs about 20 minutes to upload.

LazY Puppy 2.0.2 is coming!

Hi!

LazY Puppy 2.0.2 Final ready to download!

Links are set in the first post!

RSH

Hello my Friend,

Downloading right now will let you know later

oldyeller

This was sooooo worth the wait.

I love it!

Quick bug I noticed. It tried to install the wine.sfs on startup and failed each time.

The download reaches 100% then gets an error.

What version of wine was it trying to install?

Edit: Ok finally the wine.sfs managed to get downloaded. It's version 1.3.13.
I thought it would be 1.4 or 1.5.4

There are pets available for the very newest versions.

Ok, I found another bug.

I can't shut down the os.

I click on the shutdown icons on wbar, the panel or in the menu but the shutdown options don't show up.

Hello Rainer,

I have the same problem with shutdown no matter what button you use. I notice this only on a save file, when using just the livecd you can shutdown.

Also with the en-version when opening up the browser it takes you to the de-version of your thread for LasY Puppy.

oldyeller

This is an awesome LasY Puppy Rainer!!!


I looked at icewm today and guess what! part of the menu is in German, But that is OK for now. I was stationed there in the early eighties so I know just a little still, so this should help me to remember more.

Like the default theme for icewm that you have looks really nice.

Gnuxo; you can reboot or shutdown by hitting Ctrl+Alt+backspace. Rebooting in the Terminal should also work.

Yes, the main categories of IceWM is only in German language available. IceWm is added to LazY Puppy just for my private use (i know IceWm from Muppy 08.3F).

You can go to /etc/xdg/ - there are directories like "menus", "openbox" and one directory that includes the IceWM (maybe "templates" or similar - can't tell it right now - i'm currently online using windows in a internet cafe).

Just change the names inside the IceWm file, run "fixmenus" in the terminal or use the menu entry in menu workstation and do a remaster.

Gnuxo; you can reboot or shutdown by hitting Ctrl+Alt+backspace. Rebooting in the Terminal should also work.

I do not have any problems at shutdown - but i will have a look at this and doing tests on different computers. On my own computer and on the computer of my Augenstern there are no problems to shutdown and/or reboot LazY Puppy.

To be able to shutdown after using ctrl-alt-backspace tells me there must be something wrong with some symbolic links.

You can try to change the "Exec=" entry in the .desktop file. You will find this at /usr/share/applications-desktop-files/admin. Change the entry to the application in /usr/sbin/ceelab/shutdown-gui (or similar).

Also with the en-version when opening up the browser it takes you to the de-version of your thread for LasY Puppy.

Yes, this has been already there in every previous version of LazY Puppy. On top of the German thread is a link to the English thread.

I went to start lazypup and x wouldn't start. It kept crashing.

I finally managed to get x working from the tty but only to discover that neither icewm or jwm had text in their menus or system settings.

Only thing I saw were little squares.

What could have caused that crash??? Lazypup was working fine last time I checked, except for not being able to shut down.

I did saw something similar once - as i did use the GIMP 2.7.3 SFS file. It's the only clue i have.

I do use now GIMP 2.7.3 only without using a save file - never had any problems again.

---

I have made now several test on 4 different computers - never seen any problem on shutdown. I did test using save file and without using a save file - no difference. Also the German user der-schutzhund did never had any problem on shutdown.

Would you please try the attached .pet to test if shutdown does work now?

After installing the .pet do restart X.

Thanks

---

The last clue i might have is: it might have to do with the hd which i do usually use to remaster the LazY Puppy and build the .pet files. This one did crash on yesterday - maybe there has been some unnoticed issues already there while making the last remaster (but i did use the German and the English version to make tests - and all work well).

I am clueless...

---

Currently i am only able to be once a day connected to the web - only for a half an hour. So i will be back tomorrow - hopefully to find positive reply on the shutdown issue.

Hi Rainer,

Your pet worked just fine for me.

Thanks

oldyeller

The shutdown-fix pet works for me.
I had done a manual frugal install, and after creating a save file, the shutdown button did nothing. Typing 'reboot' in a terminal just froze the system.
