Wary-505q(RC)

#215 Post by shinobar »

There are still bug, insert key kills seamonkey, but currently i cannot re-compile the Gtk. The versions of seamonkey and some zigberts applications are outdated. But i think we have come to the time to release the final quickset wary as is. Further update shall be in future release.

Therefore, the Wary-505q is the Release Candidate of Quickset Wary-5.1.1.
Calling for your help on the final test.

CHANGES(504q to 505q):
  • Fixed additional samba server was not working.
    It is a mystery but the wary-504q could not run the samba server. I rebuild the wary-505q from the 503q.
  • i915.conf commented out(thanks to charlie)
  • Fixed /var/tmp was wrong permition
  • Update sfs_loader-1.0, sfs loaded under RAM mode was not persist after making pupsave

review of quickset wary505

#216 Post by don570 »

Review of quickset wary 505q:

It works fine on my IBM M41 desktop with nvidia Geforce2 mx400
screen resolution 1440x900

...but here is a minor problem.

I installed a fresh 'frugal' installation.

When I first booted up, I got the regular 'firstrun' window.

I chose French (even though I knew that my language pack was
on my USB stick.)

I clicked on 'xorgwizard' to get a higher resolution.

I then went through the regular procedure. I was asked
'Where was my language pack?' I mounted my USB stick and used the
dialog box to find the language pack. However I discovered that
at a screen resolution of 800x600 the OK button was partially hidden.
(see picture)

Image

I know that this is an odd situation, but I thought that I'd report it anyway.

By the way xorgwizard does work in changing the resolution to
1440x900

.... and it is important to remember to unmount the USB stick to
avoid error messages later on.

EDIT: Change the final line to read 'unmount the ISO where the language pack
is located, so that I can unmount the USB stick safely.

SEaMonkey problem in WARY

#217 Post by gcmartin »

Barry reports a problem and Shinobar also reports problem with builds and stability in SeaMonkey.

Shinobar had bult a "combined with Flash" SM last year which when I used it, seem to remember that SM problems disappeared.

Maybe its time to have a combined SM from Shinobar for this community to install and use via PPM. Whatever was done that eliminated SM problems before, maybe should resolve problems again.

Hope this helps.
P.S. I just noticed that SM is up to 2.0.12!

Report why system is not seeing $GB

#218 Post by gcmartin »

I have booted 505q in LiveDVD mode and I am not seeing all of the system's 4GB of RAM. See this.

Question: Where is the system's boot log? I would like to present that for review because I think if would help ID these problems..

Separately, 505q is not detecting the active Ethernet connection on eht1 of the system. I thought this was solved. (I have my LAN cable attached to eth1 on the MB; there is NO Ethernet cable in eth0.) "Personalize-Settings" is not detecting missing IP addressing.

I believe these to be general WARY problems.
These are NOT show-stoppers but, should be addressed at some point.

Hope this helps.

Bonjour shinobar!
thanks again for those new wary 505q!

I could start from live-cd till the locale setup. Upon X server restarting, the display kept being black, even after doing Ctrl-backspace to restart X server .
same problem with 504q and 505q.
Now please read here: rerwin's March 14 second post
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... &start=585
+ download i915_modeset0-0.1.pet here:
http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... h&id=38957
I believe adding rerwin's i915_modeset0-0.1.pet fixes it
I installed that pet just after safe mode bootup, before doing the personalize setup.
Now Ctrl-alt-backspace returns to command line without black screen anymore.
Thankx to rerwin!
Cheers, charlie
ps: People in Japan are in our daily thoughts.

Bonjour shinobar!

Merci charlie.
wary-511q-k2.6.32.28-small.iso is already implemented the Richard's fix thanks to your information. Please test 511q.

We are now investigating the mystery of PPLOG on 511q and the seamonkey on 511q-full.
As for the PPLOG, it was working on 500m09 but is not working on the later versions.

Sure you saw Barry's blog for SeaMonkey 2.0.13. Could you also include 2.1.b2 PET when you make your change.

Hope this helps.

Re: Seamonkey-fix

#228 Post by shinobar »

Found the fix for the seamonkey on 511q-full.
The file /usr/lib/seamonkey-2.0.12/seamonkey on 511q-full is broken.
Replace the file with the attached. This fix is only for the 511q-full. You need not as for the 511q-small.

The SeaMonkey 2.0.13 of Barry's is without mail, but you can use them as an option.
Thanks gcmartin.

Hi,
have installed wary-511m-small-iso on different PC's.
Starting from live-cd and with pfix=ram, again black screen at bootup after setup of personalize settings.
This here occurs only on several identical PC's featured with intel 82845 video card.

Not any problem if starting in 'safe mode'.

It as not that so a major problem as once the 'pupsave' ...ooops! the 'warysave' file is created (case of frugal install), the problem does not seem to occur anymore even if doing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.

Cheers, Charlie

Video issues

#230 Post by gcmartin »

Wary 511q (full) seems to work fine. No issues as all items are intact. But I would like to report a video performance observation on a laptop with the Intel 82845 chipset. This MAY be present as well in WARY. I will have to test that.

I have produced a report using this WARY to show video findings. Could be useful in identifying your video problem(s). Test you see, there, are run on 511q-FULL. And are repeatable and verifiable..

Edited: I rebooted system pfix=ram i915.modeset=1 and got a different set of performance numbers and an erratic jumpy desktop.

Hope this helps.
