Iguleder. Sounds good. Looking forward to get my hands on your stuff.

Smokey01 has packaged SeaMonkey 2.2
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=542231#542231

works fine in Midnightsun Pup....posting with it now.

[James C]

Just ran the Peacekeeper benchmarks on Firefox 5.0 and SeaMonkey 2.2.
SeaMonkey is faster.

[pemasu]

Thank you of the Seamonkey info.
Here is the straight link.
http://www.smokey01.com/pets/Seamonkey-2.2.pet

Since it is already in Smokey01 ftp repo I dont upload it under Pemasu.

I feel a little bit inclined to make one build in the future with latest Seamonkey included.

Dont ask Chromium, Google Chrome, Iron Ice Age Puppy. It is not near.

But Polarpup-002 is now uploading.....

[smokey01]

pemasu, when you consider Seamonkey is bundled with a good Mail Client, HTML editor, Chat Client and Address Book it really is hard to beat.

EDIT: Remixed Midnightsun has now been fixed and updated.

I have made a remastered version of Midnightsun 003, which can be downloaded here: http://smokey01.com/Tman/Midnightsun-003-tmix.iso

MD5: 0ae71c06d39fba0a33a1ac8c5bdb5374

Size: 202MB

Problems with VLC and Edit-SFS of first remix are now fixed.

Firefox-6.0 SFS can be downloaded here: http://smokey01.com/Tman/apps/

Reduction in size was mosltly acheived by removing some big apps: Umplayer, Scribus and Gimp. VLC and Xorg High Video drivers have not been removed. Flashplayer and some small apps were added.
The kernel is the same and Pemasu has informed me that it should support up to 64MB of ram.

I have not included a separate thread for this one because I want to offer it AS IS. Since this is a Midnightsun Pup under the hood, one can check this thread or the Snowpuppy thread for troubleshooting issues.

SPECIAL THANKS TO PEMASU...enjoy! ''

[pemasu]

Thank you Tman. I will make a link to the first page after I have tested your remaster. Anyway. Midnight Sun Pup Lite is good idea. I believe I will use your idea.
And thank you that you have used your precious time with your remaster.
I am grateful.

[pemasu]

Tman. Now I have tested your Midnight Sun Pup 003 Remix. Really nice. To make Firefox 6.0 as extra sfs to the iso is nice idea. That way nobody is forced to use Firefox.

New namings and groupings of menu is really nice.
At first run it doesnt boot to the desktop, but it do the old style xorgwizard tour. That is in fact good thing for me, because Flsynclient is working immediately since xorgwizard running do the same thing as restarting X.

I fixed my mistake in font selection. I removed some double fonts there and That way I shaved 4 mb out. Main sfs is now 190 Mb. Not bad, I think. I uploaded that fontshaved version and I make link to that version since my shaving just reduced the size.

Good work, nice looking and still more than functional. It is good.

Thank you Tman.

Does this Puppy need the instant-update-001.pet added to it or is it already included? Sorry, I read all nine pages and could not find this info.
Thank you,
CA

[pemasu]

Calexand. I have implemented most fixes from Instant update 001. In certain things MNS 002 and 003 and tmix-003 are newer than Lucid 525. They have been built using much newer woof and many applications are updated.

[James C]

Still running 002 and 003 some every day, just no problems to report. Downloading the new remix now.

[smokey01]

I have just discovered that printing doesn't work.

It does with other versions of puppy using the Samsung unified drivers I installed.

See graphic.

[pemasu]

Smokey01. I tested cups printer adding and printing with Firefox in MNS 003. It worked. Then I tested MNS tmix 003. I installed SM 2.2 pet. I noticed that pet missed /usr/bin/seamonkey symlink to right launching location. I added it and remade the pet. Then I installed my HP LJ1020 and printing worked. The permissions in /var/spool/cups and /var/spool/cups/tmp were right when I compared them in another Puppy build with also working printing.

So...Your printing problem is not that dreadful generic cups permission problem. It is something else.

I uploaded that SM 2.2 pet which I fixed to the http://www.smokey01.com/pemasu/Pets/seamonkey-2.2.pet

I used now Midnight Commander for ftp transfer. MC is my old friend from time when I played with server without X. I think I will use it more often in the future.

I am beside printer just today, then I will go back to the summer house.

EDIT. Smokey01. You could compare permisions in /var/spool/cups and under in Puppy distro where they works. You need to check permission in savefile of that other Puppy distro so that changes after configuring cups are found. I suspect that your Seamonkey installation might have done something which have changed the permissions in those folders. Just suspicion.

[Sylvander]

Tried the 003-tmix.iso

Booted OK by excluding the use of a pupsave file.

Rebooted and made a pupsave.
Only able to make it in /mnt/home/

Booted lupu-525, and moved the tmix pupsave to /mnt/home/06-Midnight Sun/lupusave_midnightsun.3fs

tmix can see /mnt/home/04-Lupu/lupusave.3fs and tries to use it, but doesn't see /mnt/home/06-Midnight Sun/lupusave_midnightsun.3fs

[pemasu]

Sylvander. Puppy savefile detection worked correctly in your case. You have naming style which is not supported. Use Puppy savefile naming and it detects your additional savefiles just fine.

/mnt/home/MidnightSunPup/lupusave-midnightsunpup.3fs and lupusave.3fs are both recognized and I get choose dialog when I boot. Choosing lupusave-midnightsunpup.3fs boots just fine using that savefile.

In which puppy version this kind naming works: lupusave_midnightsun.3fs ?
