Lucid Puppy 5.2 feedback and bug reports
Not a bug but the way things work in Lucid 5.2 having 2 window managers available to use. (Openbox or JWM)
I have read many problem posts that deal with the same problem.
Using the wrong program to change desktop settings and not seeing the changes.
At initial start Lucid 5.2 uses Openbox and Fbpanel for the desktop.
For setting changes:
menu->desktop->desktop settings->
Openbox-window manager config
Fbpanel-configuration
If you change to JWM with X-WM switcher:
menu->desktop->desktop settings->
JWM configuration
You can get some very good add on programs with this package
http://diddywahdiddy.net/Puppy500/PupCo ... -Lucid.pet
If you download and install, use PupControl-panel
It will auto detect what window manager you are using and only provide the proper configuration programs to use.
They will be in:
PupControl->settings->Window Manager Settings.

Fbpanel-Configuration responds well and work alright.bigpup wrote: For setting changes:

JWM-configuration, however, does not stick no matter what!
I am frugal installed with a safe file size of 1GB.
I have already this installed as well. But still JWM configuration does not stick.bigpup wrote: You can get some very good add on programs with this package

When i switch to JWM, it has a witdth covering only 1/3 of the screen width. I have not been able to make this to a full width either.
Any other solutions?

No Bugs to report yet. Updated 5.1.1 frugal to 5.2 (with crossed fingers )
I installed Opera 11 this way http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions ... ost4216773
Using Netsurf as default browser (I am used to it)
No damage done. Kept my pianobar install. Not much in /temp/(was it upgrade folder? Can't remember right now since reboot) that I had to deal with. Installed recommends pets in 1st post. Thanks BigPup, for coaching for frugal update (yeah, I backed up pupsave in AntiX). So far so good. Sorry I can't post a bug yet.
Screeny pretty much tells it all. Just adjusted Openbox and fbpanel taskbar a little.

After many days of trying to set up the internet I finally managed it, using a belkin f5d8053 and a 2wire telstra australia wifi modem. Now I am struggling to add raw support to gimp.
By the way I am a newbie to linux but have over 20 years of experience with PC's I love the distro and 50 years with a camera

clock analog clock skin keeps disappearing
Frugal install of 5.2, pwidgets 2.2.7 and pwidgets extras 2.2.4 on Toshiba Satellite A25-S207. Clock keeps going away, comes back if I go to the pwidgets control panel and just hit apply again. I haven't timed it but it seems like if I go away for an hour or 2 it's gone. It only happens with the lappie.
Edit: Just realized I have an old version of pwidgets and extras , installed 2.3.2 and 2.3.0 respectively, will see what happens.
Edit 2: Gone again. Found this at the bottom of xerrs.log:

You could also search the forums for Additional Software--there is a search link up at the top of the forum pages.
Here's another one to try.

There are a couple of versions of gimp available in Quickpet and the Puppy Package Manager. Maybe one has raw capability.Now I am struggling to add raw support to gimp.

You might want to post this in the pwidgets forum.Frugal install of 5.2, pwidgets 2.2.7 and pwidgets extras 2.2.4 on Toshiba Satellite A25-S207. Clock keeps going away, comes back if I go to the pwidgets control panel and just hit apply again.

Degradation since 246 Beta?
Some differences comparing Lucid Puppy 5.2 to the 246 beta.
With 5.2 when I plug in a USB flash drive the activity light on on the drive flashes twice a second for forever. With 246 it flashes for 15 seconds then stops. In both cases the drive is unmounted. With 5.2 the flashing stops if I mount the drive but returns when the drive is unmounted.
With 246 I can install Puppy to a flash drive without the iso file using the universal installer. With 5.2, the iso file is required. This is inconvenient on netbooks lacking an optical drive.

How you are running Lucid Puppy.
Lucid 5.2 full install
I am not seeing all this flashing of the drive light. Are you running stock Lucid 5.2 with no drive mount add on program?
How are you installing without using the Lucid Puppy 5.2 ISO file? The ISO file is what you download to get Lucid Puppy.
No. Desktop is OK. However, the panel at the nuttom of screen is only 1/3 of its normal width. "menu" is at the buttom left corner and clock is 1/3 of the width of screen from "menu". The other 2/3 is blank.bigpup wrote:Are you saying the desktop only covers 1/3 of the monitor screen?When i switch to JWM, it has a witdth covering only 1/3 of the screen width.

How you are running Lucid Puppy.
Puppy is running from a Thumb Drive with .sfs and .2fs files while the SSD has Linpus Linux.
The thumb drive is, of course, a frugal install. Only add-ons are Firefox 4, Aisleriot solitaire, Xorg high pets and Skype .sfs. Also loading pciehp kernel module to make the card readers work.Lucid 5.2 full install
I am not seeing all this flashing of the drive light. Are you running stock Lucid 5.2 with no drive mount add on program?
Burned the ISO to a cdrom and made a bootable flash drive for the Acer. I wanted to make flash drive copies for friends with this Acer but had problems with Puppy 5.2 installer. Reverting back to the 246 beta solved this and the flashing drive activity problems.How are you installing without using the Lucid Puppy 5.2 ISO file? The ISO file is what you download to get Lucid Puppy.
Puppy is beautiful on this Acer. It runs fast in RAM without the SSD stalls Linpus has and the programs can be easily updated. Upgrading Firefox from 4b7 to 4b9 in Puppy went without a hitch.

Le problème est que l'on a plus le choix du serveur graphique au démarrage, donc a l'ouverture du bureau, j'ai des lignes dans tout les sens, donc impossible de voir le bureau.
Sur les anciennes version, on pouvait régler le serveur graphique et lui mettre une résolution de 600*400 et la aucun problème, le bureau s'affichait correctement
Comment faire pour avoir le choix du serveur graphique et la configuration de la résolution au démarrage

The problem is that one has no choice of graphical server at startup, so has the office opened, I have lines in all directions, impossible to see the desktop.
On older version, you could set the server to put a graphic resolution of 600 * 400 and no problem, the desktop appears correctly

ISO of Lucid 5.2 is bad download. It does happen. Internet hiccup.
Use the Boot flash program to setup the flash drive.
Reformat and or partition flash drive.
Flash drive needs to be clean for install. Old files mixing with new install. Can cause problems.
ext4 format. Most builds of Puppy, including Lucid, are using syslinux version 3.x, which does not support ext4.
Every problem has a solution.
