You can get the background here :

Right now I dont think we will be releasing a new pup until after BarryK finishes updating 4.xxx . The only thing different with opera061 is that e17 is updated. Just plug the extra modules into a regular opera and add that background and the one that Catdude made and that basically it. Well it also has an updated version of my Megan Fox e17 theme .( The main theme of macpup foxy e17)
The next release of e17 is July 27. They are suppose to release the next version after that in Sept. So the July one may be the one we build the next pup with. There really isnt much difference between .060 & .061 .
I know that we are notorious for cranking out lots of pups BUT Opera has only been out 5 or 6 weeks now. BUT stay tuned ,next week is another thing all together.

Ttuuxxx has made some very cool stuff for the 2.18 project . I tested and found that both his pup-shot app and MinHundHettePerro Pup-Shots-v2p01 work very well in Opera . The cool thing is it will make a scaled screenshot that is the right size for posting in the forum .

TTuuxx'x version Pup-Shots-v1.pet is on this page :

And MinHundHettePerro Pup-Shots-v2p03.pet is on this page :

Small update : I have tested .061 in 4.1.2 and 4.2v2 and everything looks really good.

I like very much Macpup Opera, however I'm facing problems when installing on both AcerOne and Acer 5315

1) WiFi (Atheros) : Does not works with ath5pci or ath-pci

2) USB keys : not able to mount any ubs storage device.

3) Amarok : When closing Amarok it should continue running and a icon should appear in the systray ; Ok in jwm , what about in E17 ??

Thanks for your help

You need a pup that is set up for the acer one .Try this pup out :

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 64&t=35424

If everything works for you running that .You can try adding e17 to it.I dont have access to a acer or a netbook so I cant tweek stuff for them.

As for #1 I dont use wifi cant help you here check the forum for drivers for you card running 4.2.0

#2 I use Usb drive everyday and on all all the computer we test with.THis is a hardware issue with your computers.

#3 Make sure Amarok has an Icon in e17 ,Added it to the ibar and give it an icon. Then when you minimize it it will show up in the ibox. But if you close it ,its closed...

Hi there, you have my sympathy as i had a lot of trouble initially getting wireless to work on my IBM T40P, which has an Atheros 5211 chipset, then out of the blue one day it worked, using just the ath_pci driver!

I'm still puzzled as to what happened, because all i did was run a puplet CD i hadn't tried before, (Flexxxpup 7 Funnynight, based on Puppy 4.2), without modifying any config files or using ndiswrapper or anything at all....i did have to repeat my profile input (WPA) and save it once more, then Voila!, Puppy found the connection and proceeded to get DHCP without a problem. It may be worth repeating the procedure a few times in your case too, i don't know.

If the ath_5k driver module loads on your system, perhaps try unloading/blacklisting it in favour of ath_pci. I know you write here that ath_pci doesn't work but it didn't on mine for months either, for some reason....that might sound odd but it's true

I've experimented with live CDs for puplets from Puppy 2... -> to 4.2 without wireless connection success until it just worked recently....of course, after the first lucky break, i tried several other random CDs again (mostly 4.1 - 4.2 derivatives) and they mysteriously worked too. It honestly has me stumped what's been going on here but i'm happy as a pig in mud now

Something i remember noticing while snooping through the Puppy's file-system is a recent version of mad-wifi, so i'm thinking that perhaps its inclusion is what's made the difference.

If you're still having no joy, i suggest you try the forum threads in Advanced Topics > Hardware > Networking > Wireless, where there's plenty of info and possibly something that applies to your situation...i wish you success with this.

Both of those ACER models have the infamous Atheros AR5007EG wifi chipset, which requires a special variant of the ath_pci (MADWiFi) driver. That's been discussed at length, especially in the forum thread about the Aspire One puplet here
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=35424

You can get the special ath_pci driver here

I think you're referring to the ath5k driver. It's faulty in the 2.6.25.16 kernel of Puppy 4.1/4.2 (and MacPup).

Small update , Opera061 is in testing now. Hopefully in a few day we will release it.

lowpine · #105 Post by **lowpine** » Wed 22 Jul 2009, 03:39

hey, I just installed macopera. It's very responsive on my old laptop, I love it!

But, the system shutdown (poweroff and reboot) seem to hang and don't seem to work on my machine, even after an extended wait. I've not had issues with the latest prod release of puppy or any of the other pups.

My workaround is to 'logout' to the prompt the 'reboot', so I do have the ability to save my settings in the pup file. Just a bit of an inconvience.

Any ideas?

thanks,
steve

OK, so it was late last night and I'm guilty of shallow reading

..... use the blue button for shutdown....

thanks

runtt21 · #107 Post by **runtt21** » Wed 22 Jul 2009, 21:08

Thanks to a tip from smil99 The e17 menu options for shutdown and reboot are "fixed" in opera 061 . We plan on releasing it this weekend .

smakx · #108 Post by **smakx** » Thu 23 Jul 2009, 20:11

I am looking forward to a new macpup, and its cool that you got the e17 shutdown functions sorted.

runtt21 · #109 Post by **runtt21** » Sat 25 Jul 2009, 03:10

Prit and I are proud to release An updated version of Macpup Opera:

Macpup Opera061 is based on Ttuuxxx's 4.2v2 Deeper thought(2.6.25.16), a "no Bling" version of puppylinux 4.2 with all of the current updates. It has dbus 1.2.4 compiled and installed from source and the Enlightenment e17 desktop version 0.16.999.061 compiled and installed from source with the updated version of librsvg 2.26.0 .Opera061 includes lots of the e17 extra modules like Flame,Rain,Snow & Penguins and lots of extra shelf modules like Net,Tclock, Moon. Some of the shelf modules like Cpu and Weather are unstable and may crash. Also included is the Opera 9.64 browser compiled by Ttuuxxx.Gimp 2.4.6 .Xvidcap and Avidemux are included as .pets , Install them if you want .Works with both Xorg and Xvesa video drivers. Runs all the latest e17 themes and backgrounds. There is an option on the exit menu to switch back to jwm, if required. Once again as with all our e17 pups use the exit icon on the desktop to shutdown or reboot.

The system menu options for Power off and reboot work now .But the other options like suspend still do not.The extra modules included are re-compiled for .061 In the next few days I will be releasing exhibit and the edje-editor.

Click on the " i "icon to check ram .And use the Top hat to set up internet connections.Application Menus update by themselves.You can still have a different background on each desktop. And set up the shelves differently on each desktop but this time I set them all up the same.

Thanks to Barry,Mu,Puppyluvr,Whodo , Sneekylinux, CatDude,Ttuuxxx , russoodle and Verdegal37 at E17stuff.org

The .iso is 172 mb. http://www.macpup.org/
