I just did what you did and same result.. however, did you notice that there was a 35M data file in that link also? Don't know for sure, but a fair bet would be that that is part of the full update.

Cheers
hi 01micko just updated my post before reading yours - i have installed the 35M date file as well now as some things (plug-ins) were not working with just the 3 M download - every thing seems to work as it should with both installed 8)

Also booted pfix=ram and installed all the dependences for 0.10.4 (but not stellarium 0.10.4 its self) from the ubuntu repo along with the 35M and 3M 0.10.5 .deb files from launchpad and it works so both are .deb files are needed.

dreamchess for Lucid

#1892 Post by tronkel »

Here's another game for Lucid 5.1:

Dreamchess 3D chess game where you can rotate the board viewing angle. Comes with a few themes. Just under 5MB.

Get it here:

Tested on Lucid 5.1 I'm not sure about Quirky as yet. I'll have a go later tonight.

Can anyone recommend a USB fax modem compatible with Lucid?


@scsijon
Thanks for the tip about the video refresh frequency. Sure enough lowering it to 30-80 from 30-85 did the trick and I am now at 1024x768 with my Intel 865G video!

@sinc
Now I can see the WM Switcher menu entry thanks to scsijon :)

I thought that this was because murga-linux.comn is very slow in responding many times. I think sometimes a request gets lost and if I click Stop and then again click the link it often goes through. But if it is not that then we can add an update when the solution is found.
The fact that murga-linux.com was slow was my first idea also.
But I have the same issue with other web sites.
For the moment I exclusively use lucid.
But the fact that the nameserver entry just disappears is strange no.
In order to make this reply, I had to run the connection setup again.
The response I typed earlier is lost in cyberspace.
Just after posting this, I booted from quirky 1.2 and used it up to now.
I never had the issue that the nameserver entry in /etc/resolv.conf disappeared. I didn't have to setup the connection again either.

However some times I had to push 'try again' in SeaMonkey.
It looks to me also that SeaMonkey did run snappier in quirky.

Béèm, Right now Firefox is running perfectly for me--no delay at all <well almost>. I took a hint off the forum and Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Network -> Settings and checked No Proxy. It hasn't worked this well in a while.

If others could try that we could put it in an Update if it really helped.

The suggestion is from DaveS
Good chance as I have had something similar with Firefox in both Quirky02 and Quirky NOP, though the connection remains intact. try changing the way Firefox connects to the internet, edit>prefs>advanced>network>settings, no proxy, or maybe configure that differently. No Proxy has been working for me.....

BTW, I also set the cache at zero..

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Tronkel's Dreamchess game and also Seamonkey 1.1.18 (as per rjbrewer's suggestion) are now in the puppy-lucid repo of Puppy Package Manager.

http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... d-official

You can download the index file and copy it into /root/.packages in order to avoid the hassle of updating the repos. The seamonkey is the package from Puppy 4 but it seems to work nicely. Seamonkey shows missing library files--but they are not really missing. I will fix that.

Playdayz, FireFox isn't SeaMonkey, but I am certain you knew. :wink:
I use SeaMonkey.
As far as I knew I never use a proxy and the option has normally been set at such, but nevertheless I checked.
And to my surprise proxy was set to 'use system proxy setting'.
Don't know how that comes, I didn't do it on purpose.
I changed also to no proxy now. Will see if there is a change.

Some 3 hours ago I installed wary 030 and am running it now.
The nameserver entry in /etc/reslov.conf didn't get erased.

Tomorrow I'll retry lucid with no proxy. Too late now at 01:28 am.

I believe that is the default, I will ask on the Seamonkey support discussion list for an explanation.

do you mean that by default your proxy is on, strange, as mine has been off from the start and my record book of default settings say I haven't played with this setting.

you may also find it can increase further by installing the "googlesharing" extension in add-ons, it actually does the reverse but still allows you to control whether you are or not. I know it gives me a positive bump when on dialup.

No, it was set to Use System settings for proxy, which I also believe is the default.

All of my browsers seem to be running well tonight--no trace of the Try Again message.

LXDE

Would anyone like to fix this up for us--or would a group collaborate on it? I got a tip from Eyes-Only today that he had it running so I made the pet.; It needs some work but it could be very useful. For one thing, it (Openbox) is compositable, at least I understand that it is, which means compiz could run, and that is a goal for our next version.

http://www.diddywahdiddy.net/Puppy500/L ... -Lucid.pet

I installed the pet and then started it by exiting to a prompt and running 'xwin lxde' Eyes-Only said he had written or rewritten the startup script--maybe he will send it. Thanks.

The menu is a mess and lxterminal does not run--those are two things I noticed. And, oh yes, the onlyw ay I could exit from it was CTRL-Alt_Backspace.

It appears from one site that it will run on 32 or 64 bit, so good in Lucid and Fatdog64. Yes?

strange, maybe it was turned off back in the 3.5.5 pet which i used as a base. Nowadays I just over copy the personal data and amend the pointer file in .mozilla after install on a new system.

oh well

5.1 seems to be doing it's job now, take a deep breath, next up 5.2 :lol:

If Puppy had the support Ubuntu has, it would be #1.
No. 2 means you can still get better and I know Puppy Linux will! 8) :wink:

I am waiting for Playdayz to start a 5.2 thread
for 'Luci' - using that name for slight differentiation :)

ideas can be added here (comments won't need registering until we get a spam problem)

Network Mess

#1906 Post by chrismt »

I am having this problem with Network

Maybe it is only with me

I had to reinstall 5.1 3 times

I tried to connect 3 or more different Wifi in a single session and it got messed up after that

I wasn't able to connect to any wifi after that

I also lost my Network Tray icon

When I installed Pwireless, it said Wireless interface not found

My lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-run-hooks file got deleted automatically

I am not sure what happened

Regards

And

I really miss Precord , I cannot record any PupRadio streams into mp3 anymore

Only speaking about SeaMonkey.
I booted 4.3.1 with pfix=ram.
When I looked at the proxy setting (SeaMonkey 1.1.18 ) no proxy was selected. So I suppose this is the default for it.

This leads me to think that in SeaMonkey 2.x.x the default is 'use system proxy setting'.
I know now I have to change to no proxy.

have to rerun ALSA set up after every boot

#1908 Post by darwinev0lved »

Hi, one small problem with lupup 510 (otherwise, apart from the problem I was having with symlinks to dev_save that is still here, I'm really liking it).
I have to run Alsa set up after every reboot. I'm wondering if this is a conflict with the deprecated modeprob warning when Puppy starts?

My media chip is

Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01

Any suggestions?
Regards, Jon

Nasty situation with the save file. Lost 8MB at once

#1910 Post by Béèm »

I booted lucid, did choose the 5.1 save file and while booting went on saw in a flash something about the 509 sfs.
Indeed in PUPSTATE I saw the 509 sfs was loaded. Ooops. Probably missed the entry in the grub menu where 509 is above 510.
So shutdown and rebooted taking care it was 510 now.
And yes, I got the dreaded situation of version update.
Looked in the version cleanup and they contained the drivers for dri and glx.
I thought, not to bad, but then realized I lost 8MB of save space.
So the big question is now, where is it gone to and how to recover.
(I know I can always create a new save file, but like to learn how to recover from such a situation, if possible)

So if anybody has an idea........
