Thanks to 01micko for wireless and luck for Cups, both of those are working in Lucid Puppy 002.

Hi playdayz,

You are the fast one! Surprised

CUPS worked for my HP C5280 fine. You were so quick, that I didn't bother to create a new pupsave, The update went smoothly and everything that I'd added is working fine.

Incidently, I've installed this on an ext4 partition and will be converting the pupsave to 3fs and editing the initrd.gz file so that it will properly mount. Several pups are already setup for using 3fs save files that work fine with the journaling capabilities of ext3/4. Kirk's Fatdog 64 defaults to 3fs. Tazoc's Lighthouse allows a choice upon save of 2fs or 3fs. There may be others. Please consider adding this capability.

Thanks,
Jim Very Happy

jim1911, Would it be possible to write brief instructions about how to do this. I would personally want to try it. It might be something Barry would consider for inclusion in Puppy 5.

For the good order, I booted with pfix=ram.
Configures the wireless connection, which worked file. (SNS)
Created another, new, save file.
Rebooted.

The network configuration wasn't persistent between the boot.
Don't think this is a surprise, as quirky has the same quirk.

Jim,

A certain moment I saw the tune2fs part and tried it but wasn't aware of the initrd change to make. So I suppose my trial wasn't effective.
I didn't go on further with it

Now you have done the initrd part, do you see an improvement?
Is the save file more stable now?
Performance improvement?

Didn't try it before.
When I paste a you tube url in the downloader window, and click download, the download window stays at finding hostname.

Was anybody able to download you tube video's?

EDIT
Oh well.
I forgot about that download window and some time later I saw it wasn't there anymore. But also the clip (a mpeg4) was downloaded and stored
I clicked on it to play.
The sound was ok, but there was no video.

A missing codec?

EDIT1
I just saw the codec needed is H264.

Would it be possible to include codecs like H264 and others as standard, so the installed players can benefit from them.
Specially as those codecs aren't available through the package manager.

Hello Jim, Béèm, playdayz

Firstly, no immediate problems with 002, straight online.

I'm going to try an experiment. I will edit the initrd.gz with your tweak Jim and do a frugal to an ext3 partition.. then boot without a pupsave and see if it saves it as 3fs... then see if reboots ok. If the file is created as 3fs then it should probably work ok. I will take a thorough look at the init script just to see if there is anything that might trip up this experiment.

Cheers
