Thanks Beem. I compiled that gatotray in Ice Puppy. It makes symlink to the /root/Startup. So remove it if you dont want to autostart it.
In that case you need to launch it manually in console: #gatotray

So now there are already 4 different cpu core temp showing apps.
Next we need to poll which one to include in more stable version of Ice Puppy. LOL.

I have to admit I like gatotray immediately. It shows core temp, cpu usage and cpu speed in mouse tool tip. Really nice.
Well, if rcrsn51 core temp pet would show which cpu governing is used, it would be more useful. Now it shows only if on demand governor is used or not.

I am testing ice4 now Smile

Bsad news Zigberts Pwidgets report Temperature 0 and No fans in usage.
confirmed by this
Sensors in menu > system > Hardware info refuse to show anything.
Fan is not running only the Harddisk as when I listen with ear to the case

Gatetray? still show 26 Celsius despite CPU goes up to 60% usage due to the flash on Murga page.
Is that not very unrealistic?

I try to do the cli thing and system too.
cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp
26800

Which seems to not be the true figure because it does not change by usage of cpu.

So what was it I had to do to get the thermal thing going?

Nooby. I think you have to figure that out. Cpu temp shows fine for me.

I have already posted in the thread before, that Hardinfo does not show cpu temp anymore. I believe you have read the thread.
I think the same goes with Pwidgets.

I wont do anymore core temp debugging in this phase. It works for me. If there is some missing module, I can compile that. If somebody figures out how to help you, it would be really helpful.

Thank you Ray MK of your kind words. I checked your report. It seems that kernel has recognized nicely your hardware. That was good to know.

Thanks for all your work. May I ask one thing? Please change the startup page to read IcePuppy. I know it is a remake of SnowPuppy, but if someone that had not tried snowpuppy are read the forum they would not know. I sometime right away pet disk for free. I love PuppyLinux and try to get everyone to try it.
Please keep the great work up. And please don't let someone upset you and you leave us.

You have done the Puppy community a HUGE contribution!

Hello,
As the author of an IcePup myself, (IcePup 3.01 which will run on a win95 machine well. Wink

) I was compelled to try your release.. Cool

Well.....WOW....
As I said, I have not really looked at what this Pup is all about...I just had to try it by name...Pupspeak is too cute.... Mr. Green

Reminds me of the "paper clip guy" LOL
That said...IDK if it is the new kernel, the glibc, or what...
But this is the fastest Pup Ive ever run...Bear in mind that for the first time in my life, I have a higher spec machine...But, on this machine, side by side frugal installs, this is easily 20% faster than any other Pup I have, and I have 16 frugal installs, including all the latest cutting edge woof/wary/quirky builds...Best OOTB glxgears score yet... Very Happy

I played with moo, and was able to get a cli Pup, but discovered a bad D/L and must try again.. Sad

As per the thread...My fan runs fine...my resolution is correct, audio is better than most OOTB..I was surprised by the "Network Security" warning... Cool

FF4 works great as well, and after I D/L a few things, like the devx and a few SFS/Pet`s, I`ll have more to report...

OK so Im gonna go back and read this thread from the start, look at what all you have done here, and get back...

But...first impression....Awesome....

Compaq CQ-56
Intel Celeron 2.2 g
2 gb ram
on board Intel Video and Audio
RT2860/5390 wireless (recognized and reconnected at boot... Cool

)
Frugal installs of many Pup`s...

Only complaint is it dropped my monitor brightness by about 25%, but I
have not rebooted yet to see if it persists....
EDIT: DUH, its a frugal install...Ive rebooted it several times... Embarassed

It is an acpi issue, I have seen B4...Will get back on that.....
Hardinfo report below...

Puppyluvr. Thank you of your report. About Ice Puppy name. I didnt know there has been before my puppy time almost same named puppy. I am truly sorry.
Ice Puppy was natural choice for name because my main build has been Snow Puppy. And I come from the country of snow and ice almost half the year.
I needed to distinct the name from Snow Puppy because of the new kernel so that testers wont get confused.

About that brightness. Yes it do so automatically as battery saving mode if you are on battery and not using ac adapter..
But the brightness should respond back to your brightness buttons.
If it does not, then just remove from /root/Startup 0acpid script.
Then the save mode is not initialized.

There is also nodpms script which works with /usr/sbin/noblankscreen script to disable screen going black after inactivity. But I dont think so it should affect on brightness.

By the way. I am rebuilding Ice Puppy-004 to have first found bug fixes.
Ice Puppy will now have its own starting wallpaper as requested. It looks like Ice Puppy has come to live sometime......

Hello,
Actually, I inherited the name from Todd Richardson, the creator of the original Icepup, back in `08 for IcePup 3.01...The original reason for me was Icewm, and Icecat for the browser...But that is the past, and this is the future..LOL..
Yea, I knew what the brightness issue was, it has come up B4...
BTW, the "brightness" hotkeys on my lappy, bring up "find in page" option in Firefox...LOL...

Puppyluvr. You should be able to change the brightness also from console using echo command directed to the brightness file.
I dont remember the syntax but I know it exists. If you need it, I can search it. It will be good to have that command in pocket anyway.

Puppyluvr. In console:

I am reuploading Ice Puppy-004 now. It consists of latest bugfixes and addons. PPM database files should be now ok, so Quickpet should work ootb. Hostname change bug has been fixed. Desktop starting wallpaper is now Ice Puppys own. Ok, it seems the editing didnt went quite all right there are small rubbish around the name. Well, Gimp will get work again.
Gatotray is added and Psensor removed. I also removed the leftover 2.6.35.7 modules, there was some hanging from the snow puppy woof build.
So mostly quite cosmetic fixing.

I will start making kernel source sfs tomorrow. Then I add ndiswrapper as first third party kernel module.

About old phone line modem support.
From the previous experience, i wont start to compile extra modules or trying to do that if I dont know the name of the module or needed package first. Just name Lucent or what ever is not enough. It has been frustrating trying to help when ppl dont give specific enough info even when asked. Also support is diminishing in these newer kernels.

Wireless is easier. Just do in console:
