I compiled the new version of mhwaveedit 1.4.21
on Puppy 4.31 and it works well on various Puppies
but I noticed that it needs libsamplerate to be installed in
Wary Puppy 5.1.1.53 (5.1.2 beta1) otherwise
it won't launch.
Here's how I compiled it.

I'd like a recent version of gxmessage installed in Wary, please.

I am tinkering with Zigbert's pclock program
and made a change to show a message on the screen.

Try this code in the terminal

Wary 5.1.1.56 (5.1.2 beta2) released! See announcement:

http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02285

For those on dialup, there are small delta files to upgrade from Wary 5.1.1 or 5.1.1.53.

I did a frugal install of wary-5.1.1.56.iso.
Used xvesa to get to the desktop.
Used sns to setup wired internet connection.
Downloaded and installed nvidia-260.19.12-k2.6.32-w5.pet.

6676 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1335.200 FPS
6670 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1334.000 FPS

When I plug in a usb flash drive it doesn't mount, the mount utility
works though.

Edit:
Sound was low when playing music so I loaded alsamixer in the
terminal and adjusted the levels, then exited and saved the settings
with alsactl store.

After rebooting the wired internet connection is gone, I used the
network wizard this time and rebooted again, the network connection
was active.
I plugged in a usb flash drive and it showed up on the screen,
clicking on the icon mounted the drive.

I would like to warn, please stay away from running as 'fido' unless you want (and are able) to do developer work with it.

Full install on Inspiron 700m.
I use i810 graphics.

All usb problems with any version since 098 have now disappeared.
No cursor freeze with usb mouse.
No extended modules loading time.

Very nice so far.

Wary 5.1.1.53 and 5.1.1.56
application_x-bittorrent NOT set to Transmission

I downloaded the ubuntu torrent link:
ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent

When I clicked it, it did not open Transmission.
ok, I said to myself "what is the runtime action?"

This is what I found:
/root/Choices/MIME-types/application_x-bittorrent

That file it is referencing pctorrent:
#!/bin/bash

echo "$1" > $HOME/.pctorrent/torrfile
pctorrent &

1) searched for pctorr:
# find / -iname '*pctorr*'
And found nothing.

2) searched for transmiss:
# find / -iname '*transmiss*'
/usr/share/applications/transmission-gtk.desktop

This is the content of that file:
#! /bin/sh
exec transmission-gtk "$@"

3) changed application_x-bittorrent:
#!/bin/bash

## echo "$1" > $HOME/.pctorrent/torrfile
## pctorrent &

exec transmission-gtk "$@"

4) clicking the .torrent file now works.

Is this the right thing to do?

wary 5.1.1.56 rsync missing

Thought I would look at Snap2 snapshot backup but the dialog said rsync missing.

Went to console:
which rsync

Not here!

Went back to wary 5.1.1.53 and it is there!

Manual frugal install of 5.1.1.56 on my old P3 test box (everything is onboard Intel). Display (1024x768), sound and internet all working on initial boot.
Installed Mesa....working.
Looking good here as well.

PupRadio wouldn't launch......directory /root/.pupradio/ was missing.
Copied missing directory from Spup 120 to solve problem.
