Ok, here's the later Partview with the version info added as a splash screen instead of in the gui. It uses glade so I didn't want to hack (er don't know much about glade anyway Rolling Eyes

).

Note the small gui starts off showing your /mnt/home drive then you click "all drives" for a full report.

Cheers

Acer Netbook >> eMachines eM350-21G16i
No sound...

Works on >> Headphone/speaker/line-out jack

I was sure that on earlier releases that the sound worked.
I just didn't notice it lately.

And yes I spent hours on this, trying to fix it.

I looked at every setting...changed Alsamixer settings.
If I press F2 in the settings...it doesn't like it.

I'm sure I read something >>> in the past
about Re-directing your >> output in Alsa.

///////////////////////////////////

Luc1 241 shows my sound card as >>>

Intel N10/ICH 7 Family HDAC
in the Alsa Sound Wizard.

Strange your version says 1.0.23 but Alsamixer reports >> v.1.0.22

Alsamixer shows it as >>> Realtek ALC272
No volume icon on taskbar on the first boot.
No sound

I suggest that Lucids Alsamixer v.1.0.22
is caused by a >> borked v.1.0.23 >> update???
Investigation needed.

If I could have found it I would have tried a newer Pet.
I know nothing about installing these things.

/////////////////////////////

Fluppy shows it as >>> Realtek ALC272

Alsamixer v.1.0.23

As it seems to have no >> sound setup
I cannot supply more details.

////////////////

Puppy 4.3.1 >> sound works

Alsa Sound Wizard >> v.1.0.20

Alsamixer also shows >> v.1.0.20

//////////////////

Lan works. Out of the box. >> after startup.

Wireless works....but not with encryption.

The world is changing ...and it ain't all for the good.

Many people have changed telephone habits....phone lines are out.
Why pay Telstra etc...here in Australia.

Security is now seen as more of an issue.
Even around me now....all the wireless is secured.
Not like years ago.
If the dummies haven't wised up....hardware suppliers have.

Higher Encrytion is needed.

Yes people can be hacked but do we advertise that
" Hey! Want to be hacked...use Puppy "

because it's too freaking hard to add Pwireless 2.

So that after all the thought and vision, the hardships, the fixes,
the arguments, the endless testing and the fellowship that exists on
this great forum, ( although not from me )...
will it be too much too expect that Wireless works in this day and age.

That people can actually connect when there is an easy way to do it.
That if users want more security...such as mine
WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 with Pre-Shared Key)

Lucid delivers the goodies.

Yeah! I'm being a shite...
but either fix up your network wizards
to enable more serviceable protection or add Pwireless2
as a third option.

Talking of security I reposted this yesterday.
Encryption won't stop this....but it's scary.

Notwithstanding my problems....this is is a great release.
But the fleas make it irritating to use effectively.

And please put the dog back in the kennel.
Another wallpaper please.
Chuck out the sunset by Jesse...well past its use by date.

I think that I'm becoming as nasty as ..Sage...but without the wit.
Hey! I always liked Sage though.

A personal favorites package would be a great idea for existing puppy fans! Unfortunately, not so much for newbies (or new adopters).

Imagine somebody loading up a desktop and being prompted to install a "ttuuxxx personality module." Embarassed

I wanted to open a tar.xz source file and well puppy 5.2 doesn't open that format, Kind of a shame because that's where the future of source packages are heading. So I compiled the latest 7zip, I notice in the xarchive wrappers that there's a 7zip wrapper but nothing to link it in the /root/.config/rox.sourceforge.net/MIME-types/ folder so it wouldn't work anyways without it.
So then I made for for 7z and xz.
then I copied the 7zip wrapper and made it work for xz.
basically if you install this package you can extract 7z and tar.xz packages with xarchive

Ps probably a lot more extensions could be added but this is a start anyways

High compression ratio in 7z format with LZMA and LZMA2 compression
Supported formats:

Packing / unpacking: 7z, XZ, BZIP2, GZIP, TAR, ZIP and WIM
Unpacking only: ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, CramFS, DEB, DMG, FAT, HFS, ISO, LZH, LZMA, MBR, MSI, NSIS, NTFS, RAR, RPM, SquashFS, UDF, VHD, WIM, XAR and Z.

just updated the 7zip package above now xarchive can extract jar and xpi files also, great if your working on mozilla based software or java in general.
saves renaming jar-zip and then extracting, same with xpi, heck probably don't even need 7 zip for those 2, maybe just a wrapper.

Hi playdayz if you add only this to the iso, then puppy can open 2 more formats without any extra deps/libs Xpi and Jar.
Just basic wrappers.

Proposed 'driver help' html page in Quickpet

http://users.tpg.com.au/01micko//driverhelp.htm

Please take a look, especially ATI guys, I don't have one so don't know if the instructions work.

Anyone feel free to edit this page and if you can't host just tar up a file and I'll host for people to look at. Remember, it doesn't need to be pretty, it's a help document, included in the quickpet package, so if you want to put in pics they have to be really tiny (byte wise Wink

)

Cheers

Here's a little script that extract tar.bz2 packages in the same directory. Why not use xarchive for that? you might be thinking.
I've stated in the past a few times that Xarchive does a terrible job at extracting large tar.bz2 files like Seamokey sources, It can take aroun 30+ mins to extract. I usually use fileroller which doesn't have this issue, anyways this will extract the Seamonkey source files in about 1Min flat. Hows that, 30 times quicker
ps
Actually I find it strange that puppy developers never made a archive script to relace xarchive before, really If a file selector with open and save was added, it could be a start to a fast lightweight archiver.
