Trivial point but when I did a frugal installation of lupu-520 (and spup 055) it makes an empty file eg l5201101.043 in the subdirectory.
In which subdirectory, the lupu-520 or puppy-520 that contains the frugal install files?

Sylvander. I played also with Menu entry maker, manual folder creation, copy and dir2pet. This combination produced this:

EDIT 23.2.2011: The folder structure was wrong and also the .desktop file name was faulty, I had spaces in the name. Corrected now.

Hi playdayz,
Firstly may I say how impressed I am with what you and 01micko, with the help of others, have achieved with 520. Plus the way you have managed the project which has been exemplary.

It was just a very minor issue but when I do a frugal install from the CD using the PUI and put lupu 520 into a subdirectory called puppy520 with the files vmlinuz, initrd files etc I find an empty file called l5201101.043 there as well.
But no big deal sir.

Grub4dos creates some folders of its own, but I don't think they are empty. My guess is that is was something in Woof that Barry has fixed.

Luci-250 - The first development release toward Lucid 5.2.1 is posted and needing some testers!

@pemasu
1. Have you tested flashupdater?

2. It seems to install OK.
The installer says there's no item in the menus for this.
It appears in the PPM.
Appears in the dependency checker, with nothing missing.
But I cannot find it listed among all of the programs beginning with lower-case f in a terminal window.
What is the command to run it?

Is this needed or is it something like to aid booting or recognise the version?
Hi. I'm also seeing the empty folder alongside my lupsave file. Running on Live CD, with a save file on hard disk. For what it's worth, also see this extra folder on Wary 5.0 on a USB stick.

5.2 is a marvel, however. I'm using it as a full time system, and could not be happier. Stable, elastic, forgiving, and interesting. Congrats to playdayz and the entire team behind this release.

Sylvander. About flashdownloader pet. The folder structure was wrong and also the .desktop file name was faulty. It had spaces in the name. Corrected now. Thank you or your report.

I should not make pets as tired. I uploaded the pet to the previous post.
I hope it works now :)
The mistakes was mine. Nothing to accuse about Menu Entry Maker :)
The pet installs dldflash scrict to the /usr/bin folder. You can launch it from the console by typing: #dldflash.

I installed flashupdater-002.pet
It installed OK.
Appeared in the Menu, PPM, check_dependencies.
Ran OK when I clicked on the Menu entry.
BUT...

When I clicked on the "Save" icon on the desktop...
And saved yet again at shut-down during re-boot...
Once back into lupu-520...
It would no longer run when I clicked on the Menu entry! :(

Uninstalled it by clicking on its entry in the lower pane of the PPM.
It uninstalled and disappeared from the PPM lower pane.
Had to "Ctrl+backspace" then xwin at the command promt to come back into the Puppy.
The flashupdater entry was then gone from the Menu.

Repeated all of this a 2nd time, and got the same result.

SSL support

SSL support
How can I test that SSL support is working in 5.20 before I raise a problem to a site needing this (the site in question is gmail)
Time savers:
Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu).

I doubt it's anything to do with grub4dos as I don't use it but I just installed lucid 250 and the strange empty folder doesn't appear but one called ATAHD does. So I agree it's likely that it was a woof issue perhaps to do with generating this file and is now fixed. Sorry to trouble you.

Don't know about the other mysterious folder but the "ATAHD" file is normal.Here's my frugal of Luci-250.......

This is a good question. I hope someone can answer it. Entering 'ssl version' in a terminal shows that the programs are there and starting correctly, but that is not necessarily the same thing as "working."

The next version of luci-251 will have openssl 1.0 (unless something goes wrong) so it would be nice to be able to confirm correct operation.

I was just able to create and send and receive mail on a gmail account with the 251pre that will be luci-251 using sylpheed.

Muted Sound on lupu-520

#1052 Post by Sky Aisling »

@Playdayz,

I have successfully downloaded lupu-520 and burned a Live CD (twice) using the download from your initial post.
Lupu-520 ->
http://www.diddywahdiddy.net/Puppy500/lupu-520.iso
37a843833b65e8246bb08c2913b823a3 lupu-520.iso


Both CD's have muted sound.
Both CD's have Firefox 3.6.13 installed.
How do I fix the muted sound situation?
Looks like the last post was back in 2010.
Has there been a permanent fix created since then?

Here is my machine configuration:
Zareason Big Lap
3 gigs RAM
More specs here:

Thank you in advance of your reply

For some reason the post below did not fully post.
I found the solution to the muted sound.


I found *Retroval* by right clicking on the sound icon in the panel tray.
In *Retroval* I set the speaker volume to a higher volume.

I also ran the alsawizard and set the sound card choice to match my sound card.

This reference helped: http://diddywahdiddy.net/LupuNews/index4.html

*Retroval* fixed muted sound situation

#1053 Post by Sky Aisling »

Sorry about the blank text window above.
Don't know what happened. Text was entered. When I went into to *edit* the text was blanked.

I will try again...just to clarify for the next reader.

I too had the issue of muted sound on Playdayz download of Lucid Puppy 520 (as shown in first entry of this thread).
I solved it by right clicking on the sound icon in the launch panel and choosing *full window*.
*full window* opened *retroval*.
I boosted the *speaker* volume.
Sound is working well now.

jrb made an sfs of Google Earth 6. The sfs is at the address above and there is also a pet now in the puppy-lucid repo of PPM in Lucid 5.2.5

The pet -> http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... cid525.pet

Google Earth needs Xorg_High, ATI Catalyst or Nvidia graphics.

CUPS

#1055 Post by Volhout »

I have installed lucid 520 and the printer (CUPS) installed is a EPSON stylus rx420. In the CUPS menu I find a function to clean the print heads (nice) but no function to read the cartridge ink levels. Does anyone know how to fix this ??

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I get a warning (low ink level) on the printer itself, but have no idea which cartridge it is....
