manual frugal with menu.lst
Code: | title spup051
root (hd1,0)
kernel /spup051/vmlinuz pfix=copy phome=spup051 psubdir=spup051 pfix=fsck
initrd /spup051/initrd.gz |
seems to be something wrong with the letters. this stays the same when moved about the screen. same happens with the lettering during wifi connect.
edit: seems that a and r are affected but not always.
is the desktop image of the great divide symbolic?
sns still doesn't tell you if it is wep or wpa so you have to guess and not make a mistake when you enter the password.
good that no partitions are mounted by default.
edit first boot was defaults with x24
second boot exactly the same as the first (ie. no pupsave) except oz ingerlish chosen and then the letters are ok.

The times are ok,it's in 12hr clock mode.

Ok aarf.. the pattern seems to be bold lowercase letters 'r' and 'a'. Is it the same if they are not bold? Bold usally occers in Rox when the files are new. If you change the gtk theme is it still the same? Does it occur in anything else apart from Rox? Yes, yes, lots of questions but I don't seem to have the issue. I installed opera-11beta too.

yes
Barry's app, guess it should be mentioned. (re sns)
Cheers

made some changes to the original post. the black text on yellow background popup messages during wifi connect were also affected. have to concur with bold affected. could be US keyboard with Us english a factor too. all ok now in US keyboard with oz english.
wifi is self disconnecting when typing too long and not surfing. disconnecting doesnt happen in puppeee1
Edited this post too.

01micko,
Thanks for this new spup, it works fine. The extras, especially those essential for the deskbound, are great. All installed applications appear to work find.
=== EXTRASFSS ===
Bibletime_lucid-2.7.2a.sfs
firefox4b7wary.sfs
java_jre-6u22-Lucid-sfs4.sfs
LibreOffice-3.3.0b3_sfs4.sfs
OpenOffice.org3-3.3.0rc7_sfs4.sfs
spup_devx_051.sfs
=== User Installed Pkgs (PPM) ===
Package Description
numlockx-1.2-i486 turns on numlock at boot
gnome-games-Lite_2.26.1-i486-Spup Avoid the robots and make them crash into each other
gimp-2.6.6-i486-1 Gimp image editor
sfs_grabber-0.1 Install sfs files
nvidia-260.19.21-k2.6.34.1s5 Configure NVIDIA X Server Settings
LHP_sys_info-0.3 Lighthouse System Information & Video Report
hplip-3.9.12-scan HP Scanner Drivers
Wbar_with_setup-1.3.3-Lucid Wbar Setup -adjust wbar settings
Observations:
1. Printer setup has gone backwards, now requiring CUPS password, naturally I forgot it.
2. Seamonkey is fine, however, a later version that allows update would be preferably.
3. Wbar works fine, but first Quickpet needs to be deleted using Wbar Setup.
Well, got to get back to Luci.
Cheers,
Jim

Brown Mouse- at what stage did you notice the help icon awol? Installing another browser maybe? That could conceivably do it. I see the coluoration issues with a certain program .. unload each module till you have only the one that is showing correctly then reload all of them and switch theme, might just work.. it is a bug in that app.
James C -looks like you need to learn Italian! Actually any firefox package should work, dbus is in the main system, but it tends to break seamonkey for some weird reason. Next version will include seamonkey-2.0.10 (or later if available) with dbus enabled.
As for other browsers, Opera11 from SHS works fine as does Iron, but it needs, gconf, eggdbus, ORBit2 and polkit.. package later, and maybe a default chooser (differsnt from luci's )
johnnywinner.. nice desktop! Where did you get the tint 2 (version please) and openbox packages? As for the suspend issue it could be to do with rfkill, I didn't look at the kernel configuration but I believe it is disabled. It also could be a video driver issue .. some more info from you please? (Computer model, vid driver)
Sir Jasper -thanks for kind words. Enjoy learning the differences! I will look into memory calculation issues.
Jim -root, woofwoof (cups password).. I'll try to get rid of it and if I can't put a message in the initial dialog. Seamonkey is getting updated. I may make a special wbar package with the slack imlib2 (well at least compiled the slack way .. there's plenty of 'hands on' with SlackwareTM!) Ok, Seamonkey-2.0.10 is posted in the second post (dbus enabled, pretty small too , conflicts with firefox )
aarf -I'll load up on my eee and see if I can't sort that silly font issue, could be graphic driver related.. I'll try lots of locales.. I just thought.. does enabling utf8 make a difference?
Lobster... no quickpet as yet.. I gotta get back to Luci too, but this is here and isn't going anywhere in a hurry. Like I said, updates woofly (that could be daily! never know with BK!)
Luci should take priority over this. But in saying that Luci/Lupu isn't everyone's cup'o'tea, so to speak. It's here, use it if you want.
Please report.
Cheers!

Hi micko
Nice to see a new pup without all the bells and whistles and a newish pre installed browser
2 usual problems,
1. new asus motherboard needs a sound card installed as with all woof built pups, installed progs never work with the on board sound.
2. printer does not work with cups, but installing gutenprint 5.2.3 does not fix it this time, cups is not recognising my printer at all (epson s21 on usb)
downloading devx and will get back after further testing.
Looks good though

No sound detected ! |
|
I did a live CD run with this one on
my main machine, main things to get started --
i.e. connect to the internet, and lets have some sound.
Well that works ok!
So off I went to my laptop for a frugal install, network ok!,
but won't find my sound card.
Machine COMPAQ N1020V
Thank you all and have a Happy Christmas!
Tui

Somebody wasn't paying attention.
Grabbed 3.6.3 from the official repo,updated to 3.6.12 and all is good.

Mi scusi, Signor James C!
Stripe -gutenprint-5.2.6 is posted in the main post, DOC, DEV and NLS too.
Tui... I wonder if your sound driver failed to load? Does it normally? (I guess so). Did you try to use the "Setup ALSA Sound" from the setup icon? Two outputs I want from your laptop. Run 'lsmod' in a terminal and save to a file, also 'lspci'. Thanks. Oh, was the speaker icon in they tray?
Cheers

Hey 01micko, good job with this one
Wanted to ask - do you need a kernel? Going to the army on this Monday so I don't have any time left for big project. In this week I compiled about 5 kernels, wrote a minixcal replacement, hacked a retrovol replacement and did lots of small projects.
Yesterday I started working on 2.6.35.9 with an intel_idle backport from 2.6.36.1, should save 0.5W of power usage on Atom systems. Would you like me to upload this thing? Maybe you'll find it useful, after all you're the mind behind Lupu's kernel.

Well, 2 kernel are always a good idea.. I think BK released 431 with 4 kernels!
Thanks, and someone may as well take advantage of your great work! It will be appreciated.
Good luck with the Army adventure. Take care.
Cheers
