The problem with hard-drive-less computers not booting off USB is still not resolved.

precord (after turning on the mic by right clicking on the bottom right sound icon and fiddling with mic settigs) worked OK - that is great
The xchat in PPM does not auto set to #puppylinux at freenode (I am such a quiche eater)
Pleased to report that Flash which I thought was not installed (a flash icon kept appearing) worked OK as did the browser - though I could not install an extension (lastpass) that I use, in the browser version . . .
Was able to watch 30 min of streaming video. . .
Games are good with sound - like that
The frogger game had no images - was not picking up graphics
Fido is what I was most interested in . . . but in the end did not bother even trying at this stage . . .

utf8 and UTF-8 |
|
Chooselocale appears on each boot after save file is created. Problem is in /etc/rc.d/rc.country, lines 139, 140.
| Code: | LANG="`grep '^LANG=' /etc/profile | cut -f 2 -d '='`"
if [ "`locale -a | grep "$LANG"`" = "" ];then |
locale and locale -a give different output. locale - ru_UA.UTF-8 and locale -a ru_UA.utf8. rc.country thinks that locale is not set and runs chooselocale on each boot again and again.
Here's shinobar's solution from Quickset Wary:
| Code: | # 02jul09 check LANG, allow 'UTF-8', and check timezone
LANG="`grep '^[ ]*LANG=' /etc/profile | tail -n 1| cut -f 2 -d '='`"
CLANG=$(echo $LANG | sed -e 's/\.UTF-8/\.utf8/')
[ "$CLANG" ] && locale -a | grep -q "$CLANG" || \
/usr/sbin/chooselocale cli > /dev/console |

But Micko and others that can help you fix things maybe have help from us telling what did not work on our gear and then them too get curious on how that works on their gear and then they see how it all works and can suggest ways that solve it.
I bow out now only wanted to share how it appeared on my Acer D250 using N270 Atom.
I sure am looking forward that we have a Fido that works on all gear. |
I requested that as I thought this thread would get flooded with bug reports about fido, which would raise the "noise level" in the thread considerably. Those who try fido will immediately encounter things that need to be fixed or improved, so for awhile at least those who "can fix it" have plenty to do. Later on, bug reports can be requested.

Here's my attempt at the NVIDIA-x86-260.19.44 driver for wary. It uses the pinstall scripts from the lucid nvidia driver, so thanks again to whoever created those, and i hope you don't mind.
It seems to be working ok for me, HD1920x1080,glxgears & googleearth all working fine.
# glxgears
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.
12531 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2506.159 FPS
13577 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2715.376 FPS
13540 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2707.994 FPS
13639 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2727.701 FPS
13567 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2713.294 FPS
If you try it, could you please say if it's working for you,or not.
You can download it here....

Thanks for the nVidia PET, I have downloaded it.
Do you know if there is any difference, re crashing, when you run Ayttm before and after installing the nVidia driver?
Try running 'ayttm' in a terminal window, let me know if there is any useful error report when it crashes. Thanks.

Frugal installion of wary 5.1.1.53 is working fine as administrator. 666philb's Nvidia driver works great.
Thanks,

Concerning ayttm, been testing it for a while, it seems that the crashing may be to do with the devx. Moving the attym window, and for instance rolling it up and down would cause the crashes.....but only it seems when the devx is installed. I did discover another bug, right clicking in the attym window will crash it everytime. Installing the nvidia driver made no difference. Links are working though.
here's some errors.......
Devx installed, mouse wheeled over the title bar to roll up window
| Code: | # ayttmshell
mkdir: can't create directory '/root/.ayttm': File exists
(ayttm:29697): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_get_data: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
warning: Can not parse XML syscalls information; XML support was disabled at compile time.
warning: Unable to find libthread_db matching inferior's thread library, thread debugging will not be available.
warning: Unable to find libthread_db matching inferior's thread library, thread debugging will not be available.
warning: Unable to find libthread_db matching inferior's thread library, thread debugging will not be available.
warning: Unable to find libthread_db matching inferior's thread library, thread debugging will not be available.

similar output as above, when right clicking in the window with devx installed.
this is right clicking with no devx installed | Code: | # ayttmshell
mkdir: can't create directory '/root/.ayttm': File exists
deleting stale lock file
ayttm: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0. |
EDIT: i may be wrong about the DEVX as i've just got this error, with no devx, and just the nvidia driver installed. It hasn't crashed though. | Code: | # ayttmshell
mkdir: can't create directory '/root/.ayttm': File exists
(ayttm:24281): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_is_ancestor: assertion `ancestor != NULL' failed

I need assistance from someone who has a laptop with PCMCIA slot that does not work in Wary.
See my blog post:
http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02274
Please note, my request is for the PCMCIA slot itself, not for whatever card is plugged in. Recognition of a card is a different matter.
