I reported some time ago that when I run Lupu (or Dpup) on my Acer Aspire 1, with both Firefox and Seamonkey the screen breaks into horizontal streaks when I use the mouse and the scroll bar to scroll quickly up or down. Opera works ok.
I thought this might be confined to the AA1, but I have now tried Lupu 500 on my desktop, Intel Celeron 600MHz, 256MB ram, and get the same effect.
I've never had this effect before with other Puppies, and it is only with FF and Seamonkey- Opera is OK.
gerry

This is a very minor point but isn't it about time somebody looked at the text displayed when the welcome bar is clicked and edit it. It seems to have been the original version with simply the puppy version changed.
It still refers to a closed sourced app, which as far as I am aware last appeared in a Puppy 1 version (or perhaps even earlier).
More importantly it says Barry is the developer of Lucid when he isn't!

In short and main... As my attempt to using Lupu 5 under Asus eeePC 900.
1. The Alsa supported not some sound card (haven't any sounds). Also please see my post here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 482#419482
(ALL oldest Puppy from 4.2 to 4.84 true recognize and play sound card of my eeePC 900 "in box" !!!)
2. Tray Applet says: "Battary charging: capacity = 1%" But I use my eeePC by Power only and AC has 100% energy! -- other OS indicate it true. Also please see my post here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 218#419218
And next pp.3,4 describes situation, who I see on my Desktop PC or Netbook, i.e. hardware not depended.
3. I confirm that /etc/X11/xorg.conf file haven't section "InputDevice" for keybord definition... On this can be problems for adding new (additional) layouts for other languages. See my post please: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 236#419236
4. After any manipulation for SFS can be black screen without desktop' icons for next start Puppy. See also here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 218#419218 (On p.4)
It's my first testing Lupu500 (as frugal install on two PC) at time about two days... On Desktop PC I can use it, but not for my netbook...
UPD:
5. The LuPu 5 has very long timeout, about 15-20 seconds or more, for restart or shutdown PC (or restart X too) -- it's have been between pressing Restart/shutdown buttons and closing X (i.e. put to black screen for displaying "saving ..." message). Any oldest Distros haven't this long timeout! It's strange behavior for closing X...
6. After saving lupusave-xxx.3fs file (if I use ext3 format for it) at shutdown OS trow a message: "Journal commit I/O error", but it's presents for NTFS filesystem on Hold Drive only (used for Frugal Install). However, I find not any errors on this filesystem or dangerous situations for my /root data for about two days using this OS as experiment...

Re: black screen with first boot
Puppy didn't recognize this, gave me an error. I tried xorg=setup.old and didn't get an error, just back to the prompt.ariel wrote: what I did to make it work is to boot with
puppy pfix=nox
...to stop the X server from trying to start. then I typed
xorg-setup.old
Blank or black screen.ariel wrote: xwin
UPDATE: I tried it again and this time it worked, no idea why.
Wireless connected fine the first try (LHP 4.43 Gu3 always has to try 3x before a connection, not sure of the difference).
Tried Barry's Browser and it works fine - even handled most of the
http://myfoxhurricane.com site which has brought other browsers to their knees. It didn't render the Chatango Live Chat window fully - just the box for it - and there were a couple of large radar or satellite windows at the bottom that didn't populate ... though maybe they were just coming in slowly and I lost patience. There was also some text-graphic overlap, but I've not seen this page rendered 100% correctly yet, some of the code is sloppy and it appears to have been optimized for a MS version of windows - shame on them for not being 100% platform neutral.
I will try some of the other browsers later.
CUPS also seems to be working better than prior versions - though I am fearful of what may happen when I bring up a laptop at the same time with a different version of CUPS - that usually results in collisions and all manner or mayhem.
So far ... looks great!

blkid gparted?
gparted is working properly, displaying uuids here.
one thing different is that i dropped in /sbin/blkid obtained from elsewhere.
anyone with quirky could copy its /sbin/blkid to /sbin. it might help gparted.

OK, after a couple of tries I need some guidance.
When I rebooted it failed to save the display settings so I had to boot from CD again.
How do I force it to boot into VESA mode until I figure out the XORG?

Internet connection through HTTP Proxy
I am using Lucid Puppy 5.00 ( full install HDD), However, I regret to inform you that I am not able to use Chromium-browser due to lack of Internet connectivity. As I am getting internet through HTTP Proxy. However, I am not able to setup proxy setup option under Chromium browser. This software option is NOT opening for providing proxy value. Any other methods to enable this option in Chromium.
In quirky, I managed to connect internet in Google Chrome by creating an bin extension fie. The contents of the file is given below:-
http://200.200.200.5:6588
Https://200.200.200.5:6588
However, this methods also fails in Chromium-browser in Lucid Puppy. Looking forward your solution.

It seems that some directories are missing. You could try creating them, or, if you prefer, installing the pet attached, which takes care of it. Once installed, you should proceed as before: (The name of the executable is not changed)
Code: Select all
install_hp_plugin hp_laserjet_p1006.plugin
Anyway, I hope that helps.

proxy in chromium
@rameshiyer
this is the option that needs to be passed to chromium-browser:
--proxy-server=host:port
or
--proxy-pac-url=
or
--proxy-auto-detect
See if you have /etc/chromium-browser/default
example
here is a view of source code showing most passable options:
http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/src/c ... witches.cc
Of course, one can modify the appropriate .desktop file to add startup options as well.

Don't know if this is a bug; no one else has mentioned it yet. When using FF on Lupu, when I scroll up or down fast enough on some but not all sites, the text either smears badly or leaves missing lines. Ironically, this forum site is one that does it.
FF under 4.3.1 does not do this. Seamonkey under Lupu does not do this.
Any ideas?
EDIT: I just got Lupu working on another computer and FF does not exhibit this problem there. The older computer is slightly slower, a AMD Sempron around 2Ghz and 1 MB memory, so not all that slow. I would blame Firefox, but this does not happen with FF under 4.3.1 on the same computer.

I get it sometimes in SeaMonkey also, even in OpenOffice.

I have a strange occurrence with Lucid. With Quirky 1.10, the nv xorg driver works great. But, with Lucid, it fails and I have to use the proprietary nvidia pet. I thought both had the same xorg drivers. I am using an Acer Aspire Revo (nvidia ion chip set) with AOC LCD (1360 by 768). I will keep trying things to see if I can more information on the difference between the two distributions and the use of the nv driver. Thanks for Lucid, it is nice and will be better in the future.
Enjoy life, Just Greg

Dougal's Remaster
Hi DaveS,DaveS wrote:Dougals remaster script (latest version) borks the package manager. I dont know how to fix it but the work around is to back up the hidden directory /root/.packages before remaster, then restore from the back up after. (you can use renaming instead if you wish).
Also as a workaround you might try the Dougal remaster script by Panzerkopf at http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 780f24a001 I have had good luck with this script in that it seems to retain all packages as well as CUPS setup in the remaster.
The scrolling problem, the refresh under window problem mentioned here, as well as a transparent menu problem and lines like spider webs on the screen that I haven't seen mentioned yet but I have had with LUPU-500, began to occur when I upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 last October. In fact, it is what brought me to Puppy in the first place.I Think its a kernel or XORG problem imported to Puppy from Ubuntu. Graphics card here is SIS Mirage2, 128MB shared video memory (SIS 760). There is a driver for this card in LUPU, but the VESA driver seems to work better.Béèm wrote:This has been reported before.Ron wrote:Don't know if this is a bug; no one else has mentioned it yet.
