The Official Release of Lucid 5.25 (Lucid Five Twenty-Five)

[yarddog]

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.

Abiword problem:
This may be the problem.
I just made a document with Abiword that has text that I copied from a web page and pasted into the document. Just plain text.
Everything looked good.
Saved document.
Will not reopen.

When I did a full install upgrade from Luci 251 to 252 my video driver setup got messed up.
Tried to reload driver and run xorgwizard.
Xorgwizard seems to work but no opengl.
Checked xorg.conf
xorgwizard is not making changes to xorg.conf
Time to start a fresh install.

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.

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.

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.

Fresh full install of Luci 252.
Changed video driver by using the test your graphics card in Quickpet.
Quickpet recommended to proper driver, offered the download and installed. Went direct to xorgwizard. Made settings. Back to working desktop and using new driver.
Very good and easy guidance for a newbie!

RE: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... &start=180

From Playdaz

Concerning the programs in the Wikka: I am afraid that we cannot take responsibility for those programs running in Lucid because we have no part in preparing them. We do take responsibility for the programs in Quickpet and Puppy Package Manager--they are tested and configured for Lucid.

Google Earth requires GLX hardware accelerated video graphics, that is either the Nvidia or ATI Catalyst proprietary drivers or the Xorg_High driver from Quickpet: Drivers. Not having the drivers is why it usually will open and close.

WMA Lossless. Does anyone know how to get it? Recommend convert to FLAC
>Edit -> Will Audacious, Aqualung, or VLC play WMA Lossless? That would be OK.

End Playdaz

Well from Puppy Goals, it now leaves to:
1/ "Wikka: I am afraid that we cannot take responsibility for those programs running in Lucid because we have no part in preparing them."
OK, but at least inform the owner of the issues, I send a private mail to coolpup (PhotoRec, etc) about that, something better to do ???

2/ GoogleEarth, still to solve
Well if I just install the pet I can use GoogleEarth, but still with the font issue. As soon as I shut down or restart X, well no GoogleEarth launch & immediately close, the only way is uninstall the pet and restall it....

3/ WMA LossLess, still to solve
Frorm the official repository VLC & SMplayer 0.6.8 do not play WMA LossLess although on my Win7 it does play with SMPlayer 0.6.8
>Recommend convert to FLAC
Good joke, like translating English to Esperanto

4/ Still keyboard issue

5/ No sound through HDMI interface. Still need to use line-out cable


Why a software installed from quickpet does NOT appear in the installed in Puppy Package Manager? How to install a "quickpet software" ?

When 253 is out, I 'll send some more hardware issues present in 252.

Thanks.

P.S. Presently Gparted 0.5.1 is the default, as I understood for some older harder support.
I suggest default GParted 0.8 and if there would still exist a problem have GParted 0.5.1 has a pet and file a bug to the GParted team.

Abiword problem:
This may be the problem.
I just made a document with Abiword that has text that I copied from a web page and pasted into the document. Just plain text.
Everything looked good.
Saved document.
Will not reopen.

I copied three pages of text from web and saved as abiword doc, reopened ok
saved same three pages of text as rich text format (rtf), reopened ok
saved same three pages of text as microsoft doc, reopened ok

so far version 2.90 has worked well for me

in /root, folder '.purple' exist.

Pidgin is not include in 252, so i think folder '.purple' is not necessary ?

[ASRI éducation]

Geany => history need to be reset

/root/.config/geany/geany.conf

May be add a .desktop for Midori which is include in .iso but not in puppy menu.

(Midori isn't it better than Dillo ?)

What web browser are you using?
I am using Iron.
I just tried a document with text copied from web page and it will not reopen.
I am starting to think Iron browser is causing this.
Just tried with Firefox browser.
Copied text, pasted into document, saved, and reopened. Worked OK.
Could it really be that simple?
The Iron web browser putting something in the copied text to mess up Abiword.

We should have a lottery to see how many times zigbert will update something before we release Lucid 5.2.1

Well we do have PPM if we manage to miss something.

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.

Doesn't work on either machine - brings up the dialogue for selecting drive but on hitting Okay it never brings up the main window. Possibly a dodgy pet with a mismatch in file structure between Slackware and what we're using?

Luci 252 is running very nicely on the Pentium D machine. I had to run ALSA Wizard again before sound would work but that was probably due to the problem we were having on 250. After doing that, sound has been retained after every subsequent boot. The save file originated in Luci 237 and has been through several upgrades without any major problems that I can recall.

As for the K6, Luci 252 is still throwing kernel panics on the 'Switch Root' stage on a LiveCD pfix=ram boot and I've decided that on that machine I'm going to stick with 511 as the main install on that and experiment with newer pets on a Frugal of 511. In the near future I'll probably give Wary a go on it as older machines are the target of that Puppy version anyway.

Edit: Clarified that sound has worked over boots after I ran ALSA Wizard on the pupsave that had been upgraded to Luci 250 earlier and is now in use with Luci 252.

[bigpup]

Barry's got some new info, on his blog, about sound problems.

using seamonkey-2.0.12 - tried same test again using seven pages of text from web - no problems whatsoever
appears that your iron browser is the culprit if firefox and seamonkey work ok

Though I understand the wish not to change too much, I was always wondering why we did not see the duplicatfinder in de Puppies anymore, very small useful, not only for me.

Maybe for the PPM ?

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 30d842be91

Furthermore I am surprised that so many forumers do not seem to know Shino's "pupsaveconfig", while it is already included in several Puppies.

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=60678

Gives you, amongst others, -not to- save or -only now- etc.

(Maybe its also done by Radky's ?)

May be add a .desktop for Midori which is include in .iso but not in puppy menu.

The included midori is for internal use only. iI does not have ssl and so is not appropriate for web browsing. Please use Quickpet to install a full-strength browser.

[playdayz]

Our latest stable release is version 2.8.6. It's available for a number of languages and operating systems. Release Notes, Changelog, Download.

Our latest development release is version 2.9.0. Development releases are aimed at developers, or people willing to test unstable software. They should not be used in a production environment.
