The Official Release of Lucid 5.25 (Lucid Five Twenty-Five)
It doesn't really affect your main point Jades, but I think Lucid 5.0 would have had the most purely Ubuntu packages, and Lucid 5.2.1 will have the most packages compiled in Puppy!Lucid Puppy 5.2 and the recent devlopment builds are using an increasing number of programs and libraries taken directly from the latest Ubuntu versions

It is certainly possible that the next official Puppies would not be based on Ubuntu. Maybe Ubuntu is going to fork their own OS--after all Canonical is a for-profit corporation, afaik.Ubuntu in the Computer news says them are planning or already have worked out big changes. No GTK and others things me not even know what it is .
How will such changes by them put demands on the Lupu puppy follow ups?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Libreoffice 3.3.1 403 error. Fixed. Sorry.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Issues found and fixed since luci-253
-> wget, ssh issue - fixed by using openssl 0.9.8o, an update from 0.9.8k
-> Aide Abiword - duplicate Abiword listing in languages other than English and now French - same listing for program and for Help
-> /root/.history not being written - fixed with bash 4.1.0
-> gnome-mplayer crashing Google Earth - fixed with gnome-mplayer 1.0.2 (and 0.9.9.2)
-> gnome-mplayer 1.0.2 icons - fixed by 01micko
-> gnome-mplayer full screen problem with jwm - fixed with 1.0.2
-> caught localization problem (petget) - petget uses a technique that wipes localization - commented it out
-> include backgrounds from 5.2 to prevent missing background error on upgrade
-> Update PupRadio 0.8, JWM Thememaker 1.5, Pburn 3.3.4
-> PupControl 1.4.1
-> Guvcview 1.4.4 replacing Luvcview
Nice work.
Upgrading. I am afraid upgrading is going to be what it is. It is not a Puppy strength, but neither is it a strength of any other distro I have used. It is deep in the Puppy scripts. Desksetup Icon Templates can be used to keep custom desktop arrangements.

No they don't. neither do deadbeef, songbird, lxmusic, mediaplayer, gnome player or amarokplaydayz wrote:live, Will VLC, Audacious, or Aqualung in PPM play WMA Lossless?2/ No WMA LossLess support.
the only thing that played wma lossless was foobar.
Also i tested a few more of the gecko plugins for firefox, as stated the divx played perfectly, realplayer some played, but some did not. and quicktime none that i found played.
i don't think that's such a big deal though as you only really get quicktime nowadays inside apples walled garden, and realplayer 'thank god' is mostly a thing of the past.. Divx and flash are the most important and they both work fine.

Thank goodness we have foobar! I am surprised about some of the others though. Thanks for that testing.the only thing that played wma lossless was foobar.

Would anyone think a small non-graphical file manager would be a worthwhile addition. I like rox and I can use it and I do like the graphics, but some of my Woof folders take a long time for rox to load. Recommendations? There are several under Filesystems in PPM. Thanks.
Hope I am not derailing. In another part of teh forum a guy did ask about a lupu related question. He claimed that he had tried to installed Thunar from the PPM.
I am in Snow now so will not take time to look at the ppm.
But are there two kinds of Thunar? One being a pet made by devs of Lupu or supporters of puppy and lupu and them uploading it to the PPM and then another way to reach through the PPM the official Ubuntu repo that have unprepared Thunar that only works after one made it safe for Lupu to use?
The version he tried failed when he installed it.
Should he make a bug report here or just trust that it is a hit and miss thing to use the Lupu repo?
I find it most likely he found the orginal Thunar made for Ubuntu and that one need to make a pet to install it properly?
Am I right or wrong? I never used Thunar but trust it is a bit like Rox?

I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Just used the PPM to install Thunar in 253...no problem at all.

Barrys Transmission pet that he said should work on other Puppys, did briefly, then stopped.
So I went back to the one in Lucid.
Was trying to play a movie full screen in avi fomat with subtitles.
No luck with Gnome mplayer (film jerky)
or VLC (no subtitles)
Quite shocked as normally between these two can play most things . . .
In the end watched it in Ubuntu 10:10 in Gnome mplayer which I had on the system.
just reporting back - not sure of solutions
I should imagine Ubuntu has more of the Gnome libraries . . .
Lucview - tried with 3 logitech webcams - nothing
Does it do anything for anyone?

My understanding about the Ubuntu repositories in PPM.
The programs can be downloaded and used.
One very big and important thing
When you download one:
Prior to the actual download, you have the option to check for needed dependency files.
If any are found, they will be added to the download. So, you could see the program you picked and a long list of other files, that will also be downloaded.
These files must be downloaded for the program to work.
In the Lucid Puppy Repository:
All the pets are setup for Lucid Puppy and have everything they need.
The stuff in the Lucid Puppy repository is sometimes newer and for sure more stable.

Announcing Luci 253 - The Most Leading-Edge Lucid Ever
xfe-1.32.2-i686.pet (X File Explorer) is a file manager similar to
midnight commander.
fox-1.6.43-i686.pet must be installed also or xfe won't run.
I had to delete the kde icon theme to keep the xfe-1.32.2-i686.pet
under the 2mb size limit for uploading to the forum.
If you want the kde icon theme move kdetheme.tar.gz to /usr/share/xfe/icons
and unpack it there.
I made these pets in 252 and tested them in 253.

Lucview
I've been using my webcam and Lucview for a few months throughout my testing of previous Luci and now in Luci 253 without having encountered any problems.Lobster wrote:

It's not a logitech but a cheap generic webcam.

If you need it, next time I'm running luci, I'll compile it or you can, if you like.

I should have clarified that while Lupu up to and including 511 had taken all of their Ubuntu stuff from Lucid whereas 52x includes some newer things from Ubuntu Maverick and Natty.playdayz wrote:It doesn't really affect your main point Jades, but I think Lucid 5.0 would have had the most purely Ubuntu packages, and Lucid 5.2.1 will have the most packages compiled in Puppy!Lucid Puppy 5.2 and the recent devlopment builds are using an increasing number of programs and libraries taken directly from the latest Ubuntu versions
The suspicion is that one or both of those dropped support for platforms older than "i686" which would explain why certain more... experienced systems can encounter problems while newer hardware doesn't.

We only need the ones from Lupu 511 and 520. Thinking about it, we may only need to match with 520.playdayz wrote:Yikes though, that might be a lot of backgrounds. I wasn't planning for this.
An alternative is to have the upgrade routine check if the backdrop exists and force use of default.jpg if it doesn't - implementing that may be non-trivial however.
