Runs great! (though I had to have a crash course from my young bloke into how to control the thing!)

@ playdayz

What is new in 522 compared to 521? Just numbers?

lupu 521RC

#1069 Post by cowboy »

running lupu 521RC from Live CD and new ext3 savefile on vfat USB stick. Boot to desktop was fine. Changed timezone, and Numlock checkbox is excellent, has it always been there? Thought perhaps, Playdayz, that the warning to create savefile before setting up internet connection might be bolder or separated from paragraph - I didn't see it the first time around, expected it to come when clicking on the setup icon or something. Still, fine as is though.

Rebooted 20 times. Internet connection persistent throughout. Sound was iffy - booted as muted each time, even after right click and setting up different levels, and trying alsamixer. However, sound DOES appear without interference about 1 minute and 30 seconds into a new session. Waiting for that period of time always cleared up the sound issue.

installed firefox 4, no issues with firewall, ran gdmap, calculator, geany, nicoedit, pfind, mtpaint, pupcontrol, updated lucid PPM through Quickpet without issue. will check burning CD with burniso. No problems with desktop seizing, no black screen issues on any reboot.

Very few changes. A Quickpet update plus some new text on the firstrun dialog.

Can anyone explain to me the bug about Rox running slowly. When does it happen? Can you make it happen? Thanks.

Oh my. A minute and a half. That's something to think about. The sound is something that the next versions of puppy ought to work hard on. I know there are different schemes than the one we use--which sometimes will work when ours doesn't, *but* ours will work when sometimes the others don't. IMHO, ours has received more debugging than the others--and just changing schemes would be asking for it, again IMHO. If we changed we would need to do another month of testing! Someone needs to make it a priority from scratch. That said, I do think our sound scheme can almost always be made to work with a little twiddling--well, even more, it does work without any twiddling in most cases.

A small thing, but it could stop a fair bit of misery for people. On the issue of the compiz_xfce4-4.6.2-Lucid.pet . When people install it, it tells them to restart x into xfce, however they are then met with no windows borders!. This is solved by rebooting, and i think the install message should notify them of that.

What annoys me is that we have hundreds of testers yet not one discovered this? It was introduced on 2101202.

(Don't mind me, jus' lettin' off some steeam Image )
I did post this back on page 58.
NA! NA! NA! NA! NA!

You keep doing what you do.
It is a minor thing. That is what RC releases are all about.
Look for the polishing touches and hope that is all you need to do.

OK EVERYONE!
GROUP HUG FOR O1Micko :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D


For that Matter GROUP HUG EVERYONE :D

Playdayz. One way to get rox running slowly and also inhibit cups printing is change inside the /etc/hostname puppypc to something else but leave /etc/hosts puppypc unchanged.
It has something to do with Rox routines.
There is thread somewhere recently where dougal probed the problem and Rox behavior.
Mismatch in those hostnames inside those files makes Rox behave slowly and i remember reports that it has also stopped cups printing.

For what its worth, as is well documented earlier in the thread, my main Linux box with a full install of 5.20 has had the same sound problem. Every reboot the sound is muted but about a minute or so later the sound will magically unmute and start working fine.....until I reboot.
However, on my testing frugal installs (now 522) there have been no sound problems at all...works fine from initial boot with no delay.

I think this is it.

You know, as fast as Puppy boots up. I wonder if some of this old hardware has time to power-up.
You know that other operating system takes like minutes to boot.

That was something that had to be done to Firewall status.
Make it delay working, to give time for the network to come on line.
Take a look next time you reboot.
Firewall status will show up in tray about 30 seconds after you get a desktop.

#1081 Post by cowboy »

Sylpheed is offered as a menu item in both "Internet" and "Network". Is the Network entry normal?

You know, sometimes the small problems get overlooked trying to solve the big problem.

Rox running slowly.
I got it. 01micko explains in Shinobar's Wary thread. It comes from renaming /etc/hosts and not /etc/hostname, or vice versa.

One entry is normal. Just missed it until now.
