I'm using your uPup 451 on the OLPC XO-1 laptop and so far I had 2 problems.
Wireless connects to open Access Points but not encrypted ones. I guess I could live with this.
Sound is not working because the card is not detected (Marvell sc5535) but then alsaconf fails to run because the required mktemp command does not exist.

hey mavrothal, The mktemp.pet is in this repo http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/puppylinux/pet_packages-4/
You can scroll down and then download it. I think if you are using Seamonkey you need to Right-Click and choose Save Link As. That should work with any browser. It will be in the next build of uPup Karmic, especially if you report that it solved this problem. SHS's gcc 4.4.1 from the first message in this thread would also work, but it takes much memory (~400MB in all to install the pet).

At what point does the wireless fail to connect to encrypted access points? Have you tried Pwireless? It is under Menu -> Network -> Network applications.

I like the look of Upup. When I tried to connect my remote printer (HDPhotosmart 4600 series with an XP server), I get the message, "internal server error." Is this a Upup problem, a CUPS problem, or some sort of deep psychological problem of mine?

playdayz,

Just installed your latest upup452. I'm glad to see that you are continuing with it and will definitely try it out.

It's looking good, and runs well on my system with only a few problems:
1. nvidia driver entry had to be edited to read "nv" before xorg would work with my video card.
2. Printer Setup will not work. the Cups Printer Manager opens the CUPS 1.4.1 screen, however when Printers Menu is selected it states "500 Internal Server Error".

FWIW, I've installed the following software pets:
1. Firefox-3.5.5-Flash10-SimpeMail-wysiwyg.pet (works fine)
2. gnome-games-Lite_2.26.1-i486-uj.pet (works fine)
3. bibletime-2.4.1-i686-dpup.pet (works after installing missing libaudio.so.2, except no menu icons are showing, however it is designed for dpup which also has the menu icons missing)

Thanks,
Jim

Alternately the last 2 releases; gave trouble on a full install. Had to jockey to Xvesa, and back to Xorg after reboot and saving 2fs file, for screen to work .A 1024 x 16 screen choice that is recognized by previous Puppy installs; (though my netbook screen is only 10 inch.) Wizard setup for cdrom/dvd, gives only a page of x dialog; no choices, displayed. I am using an HP110NR, netbook, and an external LG optical drive. Inserted Broadcom Pet cd --not shown on desktop, haven't a found way to mount cd drive. Currently writing from D-Pup 484, on seperate partition. Invisible Man

Hi playdayz

Your upup 453 with a fresh install runs well on my system with only a few problems that were also on 452. It also updated a upup452 pup_save without problems as well as creating a new pup_save.
1. nvidia driver entry had to be edited to read "nv" before xorg would work with my video card.
2. Printer Setup will not work. the Cups Printer Manager opens the CUPS 1.4.1 screen, however when Printers Menu is selected it states "500 Internal Server Error".

i had the issue with the nvidea driver but was able to fix it as stated above it is a nice little distro, lightweight even for puppy
ill use it on my netbook and see how that goes
i did find that even with its smaller footprint i found that 4.3.1
loads faster either way i like it ok well THANX to to everybody in the linux
world and just in time for the new year MCL yall Whoop Whoop

I attempted to install Upup 453 on my test box but kept getting a kernel panic. Tried the disc in another computer , it loaded but couldn't get X to work so......... guess I'll wait for the next release.
I'm still running 451 though and its working pretty well on the above mentioned test box.

I'll probably try 453 again tomorrow......it'll probably load this time.

Hi all I have been looking for the latest version of WOOF 2010-0105 but
can't seem to find it's location.

Can anyone lead me in the direction of it's hiding place ?


Thanks Tui

Just as an update, tried 453 in a third computer and I'm posting from it now. Guess I'd better check the optical drive in the box where I got the kernel panic.....
