I wonder if the problem with xorgwizard and the nouveau driver is that when "xorg -configure" is run (it's needed to create /etc/X11/xorg.conf) there is an option for nouveau that that includes the "%" (percent) char. Barry has code in xorgwizard that converts all "%" chars to a new line (\n). So, what happens is there ends up a syntax error in the xorg.conf.
A simple workaround is to edit the xorg.conf in mp after you get dumped at the prompt.
Look for a stray " (double quote) , it will be on a line on it's own in the driver section. It should be on the previous line with the "%" char.. (you'll see the"percentage" entry there). Fix that and run xwin, away you go.
It's all well and good to say nouveau is buggy but it has improved substantially over the last 12 months. I can get decent hardware acceleration with it now.

EDIT:.. I just tried dpup and the above is not the problem.The nouveau kernel module is not included, so nouveau may as well be ditched as this is needed for nouveau to load.

I feel very unsure about this. How do I know he just not set it up like that so I expect too much.
It failed on my gear to play any music video clip from youtube. While his Wary play almost all and most other puppies does too.
Maybe he wants me to dl the needed music player? So I have no idea.
Picture viewing was different too. one could not use + or - to change the size of the picture.

Yes the picture viewer needs to be changed it does have fotoxx and mtpaint in the menu, either would make a better viewer. hmmm a bit late to test youtube, I already compiled/installed ffmpeg + others.nooby wrote:I feel very unsure about this.

But other than that it ran ok on your pc?

I guess his priority where to get access to Debian repo the highest priority.
That is totally okay with me. if one know this at boot
Like other Debian the JMW is set to not allow 1024 x 768 if one screen of two has only 600 resolution while Lupu don't care about such and if I chose 1024 x 768 then it force that one on both screens I guess and I prefer it that way.

I installed FRUGAL Lin'N'Win.
First problem: After selecting probe I only got to the X-prompt.
I then typed xorgwizard and did take choose and then the radeon driver.
I got the desktop then.
Second problem: The X-keyboard stayed us altho I configured latin1-be.
But in the X-prompt the keyboard is latin1-be. Don't see how I can get the correct keyboard.
I then rebooted and was prompted for a save file. When entering the save file name I realized the keyboard was latin1-be. Well.
So not very usable for me.

Printer issues were discussed in the previous squeeze thread. Karl Godt provided solution in that thread and it worked for me when I made experimental squeeze build using Iguleders work.

Hi tuuxxx,
regarding the xorgwizard:
In woof i swapped squeezed xorg_base package for lucid525 xorg_base package and i am now able to get to the desktop with xorgwizard / probe with out getting dropped back to prompt or having to select a driver.
Here is both xorg_base packages in case you want to compare.

Hi All,
Just starting to explore Squeezed Puppy. Like Beem, I have Ati Raedon so had to "choose" it from the initial Xorgwizard routine. I discovered that by accident. Initially, I must have accidentally selected Vesa. I didn't realize it until I had created a Savefile. On reboot, seeing that the desktop icons were too large and unable to find a way reduce them I tried to re-run Xorgwizard. Squeeze wouldn't let me. That's the important point.
Booted into another Puppy, deleted the SaveFile and rebooted, this time selecting "choose." Selecting "probe" resulted in "fbdev" being offered, with like results to Ttuuxxx's.
So hopefully, Stu90's solution will resolve all Xorg issues.
As I run four XP app under wine, and Opera and Firefox from mnt/home, I installed greendome's Wine-1.3.13-Lucid52.pet, and then ran a pet I created that installs one XP app, creates a menu entry for it, and menu entries the three XP portables and Opera and Firefox all on mnt/home. The pet was created in Snowpuppy: Lucid 5,11. Ran into one hitch. The Opera.desktop file in /usr/share/applications and/or the script in /my-applications/bin to call Opera were not recognized. Deleted them and ran the Opera_extra_distros.pet DaveS created, which worked. Not sure why 5 scripts would work and 1 won't. Is Squeeze using a different BASH?
At any rate, both Opera 11 (downloaded and unpacked from Opera) and Firefox 4 (downloaded and unpacked from Mozilla) now work, including Flash.
By the way, if you run wine, try Foxit Reader portable. It's far superior to any other pdf reader: permits highlighting and annotations.
Really looking forward to developments of this puppy.

Added: Just tried to add mtpaintsnapshot to the tray. Initially got an unrecognizable icon without tool tip which did nothing. Figuring I did something wrong, I tried to edit it. Lost the tray entirely. Will have to delete SaveFile and start again. Should have created a protected SaveFile before exploring an "alpha" puplet.
Edit: Re "not being able to re-run Xorgwizard" -- I was used to separate menu entry. One has to select "Wizard Wizard" to reach it.

Driver used by Xorg:
intel
Video mode used by Xorg:
Resolution: Depth 24 Depth: "Display"
continually flickering of text under/for "install" desktop icon. sometimes spreads to flicker other desktop-text.never seen this in any puppy before.
as with other woofs the initial mouseover info screen doesnt fit the screen.
pushing a window through the top of the screen drops it tthe bottom of the screen. i dont like it. cant see the bottom of big windows.
clicking "filename" in pfind doesnt sort the results by name.
mostly ok though.
Modifications of Xorgwizard & jwm config are required
Hi All again,
After deleting SaveFile and rebuilding, I've explored some more. From prior posts, including my own experience, Xorgwizard currently does not ID the correct video driver. The work-around was to use the "choose" option == not particularly newby friendly. I'll add, that even doing so does not produce 100% acceptable results. My monitor will display at 1600 x 900: something all other Puppys enable. In Squeezed, selecting that resolution only results in a display of 1152 x 864.
Stu90's solution requires a woof rebuild. Also not very newby friendly. Is a modification via pet possible?
After rebuilding of SaveFile (and creation of protected copy while running another puppy) I again tried to add mtpaintsnapshot to jwm's tray. Same results: meaningless icon, no tooltip, clicking does nothing. I'll try to figure out how to install openbox --which from Lupus I decided is just as useful as jwm-- and see if it solves "apps in tray" problem.
I Just tried to open a spreadsheet on an ntfs partition. Squeezed reported error. Partition, directory & file opened, but the latter as "read-only." Note, I did not select "fido."
Still looking forward to developments as Squeezed seems to boot faster than others, and dpups seem (on the whole) to run better on my systems. Beyond that, with Ubuntu having decided that bloat is user friendly, debian IMHO remains the best source to woof.
[Side note for devs: Latest incarnation of Linux Mint has a new APT utility which will download (without installing) an application with ALL its dependencies. Perhaps it can be of some use if you don't mind running Mint. Or better yet, if it can be run in Puppy. But as this area is beyond my technical level, I've no way of comparing its utility to iguleder's pbthing].
Does anyone have a suggestion as to what I should test next, other than printers & scanners which I don't have connected? Would it be best to check fundamentals (which? how?) and then woof a new base ISO?

No media player as stated in the announcemont but ppm debian repos appears to work ok so i installed ffmpeg, mp3 now play ok, also installed debians branded ffox iceweasel browser, runs well.
however on my live run clicking on the desktop calendar icon to open osmo nothing happens, is anybody else having this problem?

Problems with Boot & adding mtpaintsnapshot to tray
I'm not sure what happened. After creating a SaveFile, Squeezed hung while booting. Required a hard reset. The second time it hung, I booted into any Puppy OS, deleted my active SaveFile, and copied my protected SaveFile to the active position. Booted OK.
Among the things I do is add a screenshot app to the tray so I don't have to wade thru menus when I want to use it. I attempted to add mtpaintshapshot.sh, but nothing happened. So I downloaded Pupsnap and was able to add it to the tray.
This is probably NOT a Squeezed problem. The reason I decided to try Pupsnap is because Snowpuppy 018 has both screenshot apps and I was similarly unable to add mtpaintsnapshot to its tray, but could add Pupsnap. Note, both Squeezed and Snowpuppy 018 were using JWM as its window manager.
If no one else has had a problem with adding apps to JWM's tray, I'll assume its an mtpaint or mikesLr problem.
