save file default value

#18 Post by oui »

pls chg the default setting for "reboot"

from 'make a save file' "yes"

to 'make a save file' "no"

as the guy's don't using save file are irritate :x EACH REBOOT instead to be able only to hit Enter to quit/reboot without save file! this actual default value is completely unlogic :idea: !

those guy's using save file can move ONE TIME, not more, the value with Cursor left :roll:

@oui: Is it really necessary to split your comments (3 related) into 4 posts? It is confusing to follow. I don't see midori browser in Slacko 6, or even in the PPM. What version did you download, and where did you find it? It's icons/layout look broken too. :lol:

normally iwlwifi driver is used, when using the usual iwlwifi module using the load module button it does not recognise the nic

I think I know what's wrong here. First it worked for you, then it didn't. Maybe you need the 'fdrv_XXX.sfs' for extra firmware.

You have to have a frugal install, then open the "SFS Manager" from the "Setup" menu and grab the "Extra Driver Firmware" sfs. It should load automatically.

That comes from changing screen res. All you have to do is right click a drive icon and click "Run Desktop Drive Icon Manager" then when the gui shows check the "Refresh / Realign existing icons" checkbox and click "OK". The drive icons are then redrawn in the correct position.

it is not! in the picture 64 bit I did not change some resolution at all... I only did install midori, ... and look! But it is not a bug only from Slacko / Slacko64 but from ALL Puppy's, I repeat me :!: , excepted the one build by sigmarl using Arch (as far I can remember as it is not possible any more to actualise the rolling stage and it would be needing to use the arch installer...).

hm, unicorn316386... I am in the 64 version, I write a first message
I reboot
I go into the 32 version, I write a second message
I reboot ...
... and verify a problem in the 2d version before
I reboot ...
--- and report it in a ...
... 3thd message!

What is wrong? Are you to old to understand it and/or follow?

(note: the bugs are also bugs in the standard versions of unicorn... that is why I did recommend to change (also) in woof so that we automatic get clean puppy's in the next times made in woof! but as woof is very split now, with woof-this, woof-that etc, I suppose that the theory of elimination of bugs in woof can not be efficient at all...)

I just installed my Slacko 32 bit. This is very good. I connect to internet by wpa_supplicant by this method: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 105#870105. My stickyjwm also still work here. My problem is, after i change wallpaper by pTheme and apply, it's not change. But when I right click, it is change, when i right click again, it is change again.
Note:
when first time, i change my hostname tobe: recobayu and do not restart x server yet.

other thematic:

the remastering offered in slacko64 6.3.0 works good

but...

a/ i did eliminate something (firefox as I am since Barry did introduce the old mozilla suite in Puppy 1.0.3 or 1.0.4 a fidel user of the suite, also if renamed Seamonkey: I use often Xombrero because secure but all my emails are matter of Seamonkey since about 10 y.! because of Puppy... but I wish, for me, no browser pre installed in Puppy: It is somewhat for an external seamonkey.sfs or iron.sfs or xombrero.sfs as the version of Mozilla become published about daily :idea: : a "slacko" can never be actual if it contains such app's :wink: )

b/ add a very little thing (links2)

c/ the slacko.sfs did grow

hm...

d/ I can write a lot in English but my comprehension of the language stay difficult in long texts... and I find the texts shown in the remastering app "heavy" or difficult to understand, about some what confusing (see and test the RHS-remaster.pet: after opening, into only once the virtual kew if you want nothing particular!)

oui,

The midori browser has settings you can change.
Having the latest version, is important to having good results.

Puppy comes with a browser for one simple reason.
Puppy has everything you need from the start :D
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

CPU frequency scaling

#27 Post by norgo »

Slacko 6.3.0 ( 32bit )

My system is using an Intel i7 4770S ( Haswell ) CPU.
Because of used Intel CPU ( Sandy-Bridge or newer )
by default

scaling driver: intel_pstate
governor: powersave

is used.

Unfortunately scaling driver seems to work not correct.
Permitted CPU frequency is not detected.
In my case used CPU frequency is beyond permissible range.
Fortunately I checked this immediately after 1st boot.
So there is the danger for people using such a CPU to damage or destroy the CPU because of impermissible frequency.

Booting now by using of kernel boot parameter intel_pstate=disable.
Now Intel P-State is deactivated and

scaling driver: acpi-cpufreq
governor: ondemand

is used.
This driver is working flawless in my case.

For safety reasons it would be better to disable intel_pstate by default.
People who want to use or test intel_pstate could enable this driver nevertheless via kernel parameter.

@Billtoo
You are using an Intel Ivy-Bridge CPU ( i3 -3227U ).
Could you take a look at the used frequency scaling driver
and whether it works correctly in your case ?

@01micko and all the other helpful guys
Thanks for all you do !

thank you very much. Did you try it? And you find it better after changing the settings? If yes, pls, can you explain which settings have to be changed.

I did continue to test...

I did remove ALL "everythings" what I don't need (geany, leafpad is enough and I prefer gvim or vim if gvim not available, nano, why nano and leafpad and geany and vi ? text is text and 4 editors are NOT better than only one :idea: , abiword, gnumeric, homebank, MHwaveedit, mozilla-firefox, xchat, and probably more) to have only tools and not app's I don't know and never will use!

but the size of the iso stay about constant :cry: ,,,

much better than ALL last puppy's I did use:

my printer works now in Puppy! That is good, very good...

no presentation?

why?

and magicpoint :!: :!: :!: why will Puppy ignore magicpoint

vimprobable has exactly the same difficulties as midori, xombrero etc (= about all direct childs of webkit :idea: ! )

a lot of scripts of RSH works pretty in that environment. it is good to increase the field of uses...

Yes, I think you need to remaster or re-create the folder structure of the main sfs to reduce that space (example).

Major bugs with pMusic on this system. I am looking into it, and will release 4.7.2... I keep on digging...

I have at last got the system fully running (only missing wine). My issue with wrong resolution with my amd-card is a shameful story... After hours of trying, testing, failing, rebooting, searching, reading, more testing, it all ended up with the fact I had copied the grub-text in menu.lst from earlier installs. Removing radeon.modeset=0 made it all beautiful. - OMG, what an idiot :oops: :) :lol:

Maybe it's because I haven't configured video yet (hardware acceleration?), but this frugal install slowed down to a crawl after 20 hours. A reboot helped a lot.

From release notes:
There is no AMD/ATI graphics driver built for the 64 bit version
Is there a reason or just have not built one?
