Some of the apps that are bundled with Luci 252 have had newer versions posted on the forum. Grub4Dos Config (Forum thread) is now version 1.7, which fixes a number of bugs and also adds support for ReiserFS. I've been testing it on the K6 machine in 511 and 520 since it came out and it seems rock solid. I think it should certainly be in.
Other newer versions for that you may want to include are Pburn 3.3.3, Pmusic 1.6.4, Pfind 4.21 and Pwidgets 2.3.4.
There's also a 3.34.62 version of MtPaint that fixed "a bug in the blend mode that causes a crash that existed since version 3.34.29". It seems to be very stable. I got it from this post in one of the old Luci threads but the file it links to appears to have gone.

252 on my previously half dead deskpro
I've tried loads of distros (fedora, mint, ubuntu, debian, gOS etc.) on my old deskpro EN small form with 10.2 Fuji hdd / 256mb RAM. None of them worked at all which is how I came to discover puppy, it runs 4.2 really well from a 1.8G Sandisk USB drive. I used GParted to try and get the hdd in use, it still won't allow mint to install, no problem as puppy 4.2 does all I need. I fancied something a bit snappier so I ran wary. It worked ok but the red box thing in the task bar would fill up in no time and crash, so I stayed with 4.2. Then I tried Lupu, looked good at first but my graphics card couldn't seem to handle much and it was really messy trying to browse the net.
I tried Lucid 252 out of curiosity, and so far it runs better than 4.2 did. The Firefox options were very helpful, could never get firefox to run on 4.2. Better sound/vid on 252 from you tube and internet radio running in firefox but I haven't managed to adjust the volume from the icon in the task bar yet (same problem with 4.2 and wary - maybe my pc's fault and it doesn't matter anyway).
The only things I didn't like; system crashed when I first installed firefox while running from the live cd, worked fine once I installed, and I can't see the clock in the taskbar with the New England Mist wallpaper, dark numbers against a dark background. Again not important, just thought someone might want the feedback.
A big plus, running 252 once installed was the first time I've heard my hdd working for ages, even 4.2 didn't seem to want to use it. Again this wasn't a huge problem as it worked fine from the usb drive, but it seems like a good idea to make use of the extra 10.2G.
Thanks to everyone who made this happen, I think I've found the best distro for my 12+ year old pc.

Ah... but once woof strips out the doc and man pages the compressed size should end up the size of the pet I posted.. or you can use that pet, either way.408KB is not small, but I think we have the space

ttuuxxx,
I do not know if it is me, but I installed your newer version of Abiword and it will not run.
Yes, I installed all 4 pets.
Click on desktop icon nothing.
Click on menu entry nothing.
Find the Abiword exe file nothing.
It all looks like it installed by looking in Rox.
I have found a new word processor.
It is a sheet of white papaer and a writing stick.
instant auto save and display.

hi you probably would need the latest Goffice and Gsf that I compiled for Gnumeric. So they all the newer match resources.bigpup wrote:ttuuxxx,

Openshot-1.3 is out
Hi playdayz,
Openshot-1.3 is out and it works great in luci252 after I made a couple of modifications to some of the .py files. This new pet does not contain any of the multimedia libs as in openshot-1.2.2 since luci252 has newer ones (from natty). Also, there were two extra python modules needed, PIL and httplib2, and I have added them to the python2.6.
3D titles also works if you have Blender256 (or newer) installed.
Anyway, check it out here:
Openshot-1.3
Cheers.

ttuuxxx,
So far with your newer version of Abiword I have been able to produce doccuments that can be saved and then reopened.
I have only tried simple stuff, so will test more.
May have been something missing in Luci 252 version of Abiword.
I just did it to myself by saying that. More testing to follow.
Sure glade playdayz has nothing to do for the next week!

That was yours. I don't know what I was talking about. Yours is about half the size of the others I found. So it is already in there! And working. Thanks.
There is a program Menu -> Desktop Settings -> PupClockset to change the color and size of the clock.The only things I didn't like; system crashed when I first installed firefox while running from the live cd, worked fine once I installed, and I can't see the clock in the taskbar with the New England Mist wallpaper, dark numbers against a dark background.

We should have a lottery to see how many times zigbert will update something before we release Lucid 5.2.1Some of the apps that are bundled with Luci 252 have had newer versions posted on the forum.

Thanks Jades. Perhaps you could try the gparted-0.8.0 I posted above on this page and see if it works on the K6. It might because it is a i486 from slackware.
installed the new abiword pets listed above and work great on my system - i already had the goffice-0.8.12.i386 pet and libgsf-1.14.19.i386 pet from earlier post for gnumeric-1.10.13.i386ttuuxxx wrote:here's the latest abiword you'll need the 4 pets below to use it with opendocuments, the main abiword pet could be drastically reduced if the plugins were thinned down like Barry always did, but I included them all for once.

Have you compared the plugins? usually when they get a .0 in the number system, its usually a stable branch and anything with .1 .2 .3 .4 .5 .6 .7 .8. .9 is usually unstable hence 2.9.0 should be the stable version and 2.8.6 should be unstable. Since the 2.9.0 is compiled with the latest Goffice and gsf That I posted with Gnumeric, I would consider it more stable than then the previous, since it was compiled with latest, plus it took a lot of work to package it up, Luci is your baby, but if it was mine, 2.9.0 would be in with the updated plugins that make 2.9.0 more compatible with MS WORD and OpenOffice. actually a key selling point.playdayz wrote:Abiword 2.9.0 is the unstable development branch of Abiword. Abisource recommends that the stable 2.8.6 branch be used for production purposes.
I think we should stay with 2.8.6 which we know is working (reasonably) well.
Thanks.

Finally got around to doing a fresh manual frugal install of 252 on the old P3 test box.Everything working on initial boot. Installed Xorg_High and SeaMonkey 2.1 b1. Looking good so far.
