ttuuxxx,

Hope that you are still working with upup. The main issue I still have is being unable to get my HP 5280 all-in-one printer to work. Still a problem with CUPS.

I believe that upup will make a good platform for the update of Living Water since it is already pretty stable and is able to run the latest Bibletime 2.2, if printing issues are resolved. However, I do like dpup, but have been unable to get any Bibletime later than 1.6.5 working on it.

Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim In the early part of the new year(Jan,Feb) I'll be building the next Living Water, Living waters primary goals is Size, Quality, Outreach for older Pc's, I've had emails that some Christian schools are actually using it day to day.
I like to start with a small base and move forward, I did have the go-ahead from Barry to revive 2 series, 2 Series is small and well what we've done with 2.14X is outstanding compared to what we started with. So possibly 2 series, I also could make 2 versions a retro kernel and a newer kernel. As for Bibletime 2, I was happy with the last package I made up, It was stable, and opened/printed bibles etc. Bibletime is a reader of bibles and maps, Kind of like adobe acrobart, the first release was 1MB the last release is like 40MB, but all it does is read pdfs and prints, lol anyways I'll look at 2 bibletime, an see where we're at

There is an experimental version of uPup made with Woof 20091120, with extra xservers (video drivers) plus the video enhancements GLX and DRI.

uPup 20091120 -> http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=49665

With SitHeelspeak's gcc 4.4.1 devx supplement I have compiled the latest ATI Catalyst driver including Catalyst Control Center. It also runs SRWare Iron, Seamonkey 2, and Firefox 3.6b5pre nicely, as well as Flash 10.

As noted by playdayz epdf viewer fails in upup450. Installed a foxit pet and it also failed. Will dig details if required.

[aarf]

as with dpupbeta5,when using gprs connect in upup450 the required link fails to go into the network menu requiring #pgprs-connect in a console to complete the connection. 431 is ok in this respect.

edit: also needed is a wifi down script for when the wifi doesn't perform and you need to switch to gprs.
if the wifi signal is too weak or doesnt perform for some other reason but still connected, it stops the gprs connection from functioning.
wifidown is here.

if you are aiming for the third world then getting gprs connection correct is important because gprs connection is more commonly used there.

[aarf]

SM and PuppyBrowser crashing with .swf files:
attached is the .dat file run action in dpupbeta5 compare that with the run action for /root/.mozilla/pluginreg.dat

edit:run action wasnt the problem because playdayz upup452 has the same run action as upup450 but swf files dont crash the browsers so now at
upup452 instead

also note that the gprs links are now in the menu after how many reboots? this is behavior of earlier puppy not the current 431. in dpupbeta5 and the gprs links are still not there.

hey aarf, epdf is working with uPup 4.52 http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=49665

Also, the Foxit pet that is listed there towards the middle of the first message in the thread is working. Personally I suspect that including glx/dri might be what makes the pdf viewers work, and also makes Flash more stable (no proof, just an impression, well, no proof other than that they work ).

BarryK has made a number of changes to Woof since the version that produced ttuuxxx's 4.50. He has fed back several of the problems and fixes we have found with uPup 4.32 and 4.51 into the latest Woof. I would certainly appreciate your help in testing and improving uPup 4.52, with the goal of finding more problems and fixes to improve Woof and to make a uPup that is useful and stable right from the Woof version.

have been meaning to do a gprs test of 452 but my gprs connection has caught an extreme case of gposils internet malady. perhaps it will not show "packet data connection not available" on my phone come the new year.
