Wary 5.1.99 review

#406 Post by don570 »

I installed Right-click 5.2.5 and it mostly works

but I noticed that MD5sum is not possible
because gtkhash is not installed.

I also tested Bacon Recorder 2.3.1 and it worked fine

See that some derivatives are having touchpad issues. Had been using USB mouse on old Cq C550 chassis FULL install. Decided to reconnect touchpad. Initially started working, but after a reboot following day, double(or single) tapping stopped working. Fiddled with settings to no avail. Haven't seen this with Wary before.

Some time ago, I inherited a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300 (manufactured in 2000):

Pentium III (coppermine) 700 MHz, 256 MB RAM, Video Driver: Savage, 1024x768 pixels, 12 GB ATA hard drive.

I ran Wary 5.14.1 off the live-CD first to make sure it functioned with this antique. It did, right ought of the box - sound, either net connection, video driver - absolutely superb!

I then wiped the hard disk clean of Windows 98 garbage and reformatted to ext2 with GParted adding a swap partition. Except for the video (glxgears: ca. 150 FPS) the machine is quite fast. SeaMonkey is a bit sluggish - flash video a bit choppy. I will eventually install Opera.

The WLAN connection (RTL 8187 USB) was a bit tricky to set up (but isn't it always?). Eventually, using the Network Wizard, I got it to connect at boot .

Connected to a mini hi-fi system, this is the perfect machine for the guest room.

Curious. The rest of the Puppyworld is going bananas about touchpad issues but four days on and my report above hasn't attracted a nibble...

checked psnapshot

#415 Post by don570 »

I checked the application psnapshot and it worked fine.

It saves the snapshot in a folder named 'Screenshots'
to simplify the saving process.

Skipstone needs libgtkembedmoz.so seamonkey, it should be explained in ppm.

I did a search but could not find any info so pardon me if this has been discussed.

I have a RTL8188/8192 USB wireless.

In Puppy 5.2.5 and 5.2.8, I used the PET (8192cu-k2.6.33.2.pet) made by "tempestuous" (thanks tempestuous) and it works very well.

Recently I had to install Wary Puppy 5.1.4 on one of the older computers and that PET did not work in Wary.

Is there a similar driver for Wary?

TIA.

Thanks for the report. I found the missing icons and put them into Woof. For the record, they are gtk-add.png, gtk-sort-ascending.png and gtk-sort-descending.png. I put them into /usr/share/icons, where gtk will find them.

Wary 5.1.4.1 hanging on trying to make first save file

#420 Post by mcewanw »

Don't know if just an issue I'm having or if already a noted issue:

I just installed a fresh frugal of Wary 5.1.4.1 and it worked fine until shutting down. I accepted that it build a pupsave but it just hung there and wouldn't build the save file.

As a workaround I instead used an empty save file built with Wary 500 and that worked fine with Wary 5.1.4.1 thereafter.

Hi BarryK,
First of all, thanks for Puppy.
Love it. Have it installed in a laptop and a netbook.
Though, my laptop doesn't show a proper battery status icon.
The icon is there, but it's always grey no matter if the laptop is connected to AC or not.
But if I click on the battery icon I can see all info on my laptop's battery.
This happens with both latest Wary and Lupu.
My laptop is an HP/Compaq nx6310 currently running Lupu528 with Instant-update-001.
Here's a quick debugging that I did:

Code: Select all

sh-4.1# pwd
/proc/acpi/battery/C1BC
sh-4.1# cat info
present:                 yes
design capacity:         4062 mAh
last full capacity:      4062 mAh
battery technology:      rechargeable
design voltage:          11100 mV
design capacity warning: 204 mAh
design capacity low:     41 mAh
capacity granularity 1:  100 mAh
capacity granularity 2:  100 mAh
model number:            Primary
serial number:           42739 2009/12/16
battery type:            LIon
OEM info:                Hewlett-Packard
sh-4.1# cat state 
present:                 yes
capacity state:          ok
charging state:          discharging
present rate:            1706 mA
remaining capacity:      1560 mAh
present voltage:         10709 mV
As you can see, my battery is in /proc/acpi/battery/C1BC and not BAT0/BAT1.
Also, if I had a secondary battery, it would be in /proc/acpi/battery/C1BB because that folder is already there.
I am already running the latest powerapplet_tray from this blog post of yours http://bkhome.org/blog/?viewDetailed=02512 .
Can you help me with this?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

PS: weird things seems to happen with HP batteries, huh?
PS2: what if powerapplet_tray had a conf file where we could manually "hack" the right directory name? Just a stupid thought at 4am... ;)
