Lupu-515 Beta New Version DEC 18

[playdayz]

It has got me wondering as hardinfo gives this, which suggests core 1 is running harder than core 0
Will try conky

Yes indeed. Look in /root/Startup/cpu-frequncy-scaling.sh Whoa, we need tasmod or iguleder.

Tasmod or iguleder. I just looked at /root/Startup/cpu-frequncy-scaling.sh and see 'modprobe acpi-cpufreq, BUT when I installed I choose the K8 frequency module. It seems to be working for me but this seems odd.

[Iguleder]

Here's the original code from pcpufreq 003 by me:

The code that makes it auto-start:

Code: Select all

echo "#!/bin/busybox ash
  
modprobe `cat /etc/pcpufreqdriver`
modprobe cpufreq-$scalingGovernor

cd /sys/devices/system/cpu
   
for i in \`ls -d1 cpu[0-9]*\`; do
  
  echo $scalingGovernor > \$i/cpufreq/scaling_governor
    
done" > /root/Startup/cpu-frequency-scaling.sh

The code that changes the driver:

Code: Select all

  # a function that loads a CPU driver
  setDriver()
  {
	
    cpuDriver=${cpuDriver%%" "*} 
    echo $cpuDriver > /etc/pcpufreqdriver
    modprobe $cpuDriver
	
  }

  setDriver()
  {
	
    cpuDriver=${cpuDriver%%" "*} 
    echo $cpuDriver > /etc/pcpufreqdriver
    modprobe $cpuDriver
	
  }

EDIT: setDriver() filters "ondemand" from "ondemand (blah blah blah)" and "performance" from "performance (blah blah blah)", that's the first line of the subroutine.

This code should work.

Fried potato with mayonnaise: you really know this part of the world don't you

Belgian "friets" are great, however in Holland they try to sell them too, but by far nothing compared with when I once ate them 50 yearts or so ago in Belgium in a "frietkot", very greasy dirty doors etc. but superb.

Just like their bonbons and Rombouts coffee. The French have the reputatation of being good cooks I prefer the "Bels".

BTW Bert could you explain me how you managed to get moon- or silverlight running in FF ?

Have no clue while Dutch tv streams nowadays only in this format.

[playdayz]

Edit2: In /etc/X11/xorg.conf I changed "MaxTapTime" to "0", restarted X, no more tapping. Awesome.

shinobar and tubeguy. Is this the problem? Tubeguy, we turned that on in order to get flsynclient to work. Shinobar knows.

[playdayz]

As Playdayz suggested I tried to install Shinobar's LupQ language pack in Luci-237 for my language ( Dutch, 604MB pet)

SUCCESS!!

Great news Bert. Thanks. We can put them in PPM for easy access.

[playdayz]

Got the new retrovol for luci-238pre.

shinobar and tubeguy. Is this the problem? Tubeguy, we turned that n in order to get flsynclient to work. Shinobar knows.

Last version I ran on the lappie before this was 232 and flsynclient worked, tapping was not enabled by default. On 237 tapping was enabled by default, which it probably should be because that's how most people use their touchpads, but I have a habit of touching the touchpad when I shouldn't.
Still would like to get horizontal scrolling to work though.

Nancy, this must be a misunderstanding. I have no experience with running moonlight or silverlight on FF. Must be someone else who talked about it.

flsynclient > 3.TAB > Check 'Horizontal Edge Scroll'

it is flsynclient 0.6 (c)2006 Matteo Lucarelli and the luci touchpad is much more sensitive than at dpup, perhaps because of the driver.
I had this restartX message, too, but it didn't bother me much.
This message hadn't been at dpup, perhaps because dpup is running some parts of the older CCE at bootup.

Yeah but I can't get into flsynclient at all. Restart X doesn't make the error message stop.

Video failure on Pansonic Toughbook CF-28 (dpup 040 works fine).

There is something altered in the newer Puppy versions because they all are failing to display on this laptop whereas the older ones, e.g. dpup 040, work fine.

If I do a CTRL-ALT-Backspace I can see a light column up the middle and a flicker so I know it is trying to display.

If I type "xwin" and hit enter I see filckering of the display as well.

So the problem appears to be in xorgwizard.

Video is Intel 82830.

WDYT?

Iron 7.0.520.0

Seems fassssst

[playdayz]

Nooby, Can you try Pmusic and see if it does what you want? Thanks.

[playdayz]

Good news about Wine.

I went to get the latest wine from green_dome so I could make an sfs, thinking having wine installed without using any lucisave memory would be convenient, and green_dome has already done it!

So, wine will be in the SFS-getter in the next version. Thanks green_dome.

The wine programs foobar2000 and Exact Audio Copy are already available in PPM. One piece of bad news is that it seems wine can only play audio through the default device.

I use 237 daily now so that tells me it is a good one. I would not use it if it failed in any way that I know of.

One thing I wonder about.

Now that Wolfe or MyWolfe exists that do something that many many linux users are very accustomed to that they have to log in to use the distro.

Could that be next project to make a choice puppy which behave as puppy for all those that have become to love puppy as it is with frugal install and all and if one want it a puppy that behave as any other puppy distro with log in and restrictions and such to make puppy familiar?


Maybe I should not mention it at all because I fail to use common distros I am too used to Puppy to be able to work in other distro's more restricted formats.

And I have no idea if Wolfe really is more secure than Lupu is?

But choice is a good thing?

[Iguleder]

MyWolfe isn't secure, you're logged in as root - you can remove root's password in a one-liner

Anyway, no matter how hard it is to log in, you're still root.

I have solved the time problem when using Trinity on luci23x - there was a missing #!/bin/sh line in the settime file in /root/Startup.

If edited to:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

#added by playdayz to make timezone persistent
hwclock --hctosys --localtime

then the time is displayed correctly and both hwclock and date show the same correct time.

Cheers

Iron is Gold

Thank you!

Seems the fastest of them all.

The fonts seem better, or is that my imagination?

You know what? It installed in my language

Youtube is definitely better (fullscreen) than the other browsers, or is that my imagination again?

Would love to hear what others think about Iron.

[Iguleder]

playdayz, I made a xchat template for Woof and it works perfectly with Debian Squeeze ... do you want me to upload it? I also made templates for about 15-20 packages, I'm trying to use more Debian/Ubuntu and less Puppy packages to make things more future-proof.

I'm writing this from a dpup built this way, no size penalty for some reason

I use Iceape and almost all applications from Debian, seems very solid. That's the first stage in the trinitypup roadmap

[nooby]

iguleder, thanks.
