- wanted to see if it would pick up 525 settings - nope booted straight into a pristine
- what no Ethernet auto connection [Lobster faints] I thought Lucid did that now?
- audio OK - will it be persistent - should be
- downloaded FF5 - yes we have some pedigree chum!
- added Transmission bit torrent (so I thought - it is in two places - Internet and Network) the network version seems to be working the Lucid 525 did not?

stu90. Yep, thats why I included that code since it does not need any extra apps to use.
Umplayer is fantastic universal player. My family was astonished how easily it provided this great finnish music video one morning to our breakfast table. This video made all of us smiling. English version here:

Concerning save or no save on shutdown.

Seems to be several methods for getting to a point where you can get this choice.
An idea that I would like to see is this:
in menu->shutdown
Have two options

1.Power off computer - does what it does now normal power off, save file choices, and updates save file.

2. Power off no save - no save options or updates.
Seems like this could be the same shutdown script, but not have the code
that calls for save file choices or control.

Reboot would need the same setup.
Reboot computer- normal reboot with save options and update
Reboot no save - reboots no save options or update.

With two separate shutdown scripts this does not seem too difficult to do.

The glove has been thrown to the floor!

Jim3630 needs wl driver which has been compiled by piratesmack and it has its own thread.
The method to use that driver is a little compilcated since it needs b43 and ssb modules to be unloaded.
Kirk made genious script to check the need for those module unloading.
I attached that script to this rebuild wl module pet.
Jim3630 could test this if this works in 2.6.33.2 kernel builds.

About including all those extra drivers for wireless and wired. Great idea, but it will means several Mb xtra weight.
Tempestuous threads are magnificent. There just should be easy way for people to actually find their desperately needed drivers from that thread.
I have noticed that people again and again asks the same questions about those missing drivers and I have several times pointed them to that thread.
Off topic but easily found somekind knowledge base about those drivers would be fantastic. For example in Quickpet link to point to that thread.
And now I am dreaming....somebody could list those drivers as easy knowledge base. Yeah, I know.....
But the driver Jim3630 needs is in another thread and not that easily found. It might be considerable to include that driver and that script if they works since that driver needs most work to get work. And that broadcom wireless chip is not uncommon.

playdayz,
I am pleased to see that you have resumed support of Lucid Puppy. I would like to submit my collected updates for the internals of modem and module loading support, but also see that the all-purpose dotpet package appears formidable. I have attached a tailored version of the contents of the "modem-modprobe" package that makes all the changes visible to the integrator.

I ran the package against luci260 and captured the files that were edited by the pinstall script. I took the remaining content and placed everything in 3 directories for convenience. I also collected only the relevant file deletions into a short script that can be run as is or used to identify the required removals.

The main directory contains the "replacement" files. The edited basic puppy files are in the "edited" directory. The third contains a remaster-compatible rework of the fullstart and first-run scripts and reorganization of the special treatment of xorgwizard, which avoid the need for any user workarounds in preparation for a remaster.

Either before, during or after insertion of the files into the main SFS file, the included script must be run or otherwise implemented to clear out obsolete files that could impact operations.

I have included a directory of difference files for the edited files, so you can see the minor-but-needed changes.

I tested all this by using pizzasgood's edit-sfs tool in puppeee 4.4 and ran the result on my main PC. It all seems clean.

Some factors to note:
1. The pupsave update/upgrade process still requires some pre-treatment of the old pupsave file before moving it to a new (upgraded) luci260, to remove or avoid using obsolete files. There is a script to do this at: http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=431074#431074
as: modem-modprobe_pre-update_patch-20110420.pet

2. Luci260 contains a file, /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-modem.conf, which would now be deleted at the first reboot, due to a design decision made for woof and its derivatives. I have maintained that behavior so that people will not assume they can name the .conf files to begin with "blacklist". To avoid any impact of this, the included script renames that file to "alsa-modem-blacklist", since it blacklists only the possible built-in ALSA modems (if edited by the user to remove the #s).

3. The other .conf name to avoid is any beginning with "modem_"; they are removed when pupdial executes a CHOOSE > ERASE function.

4. This upgrade contains a few more PCI modem firmware tarballs in anticipation of a "retro" version as done for lupu525.

If you have any concerns I have not anticipated, please contact me. Thanks for making Lucid Pup so exciting -- dazzling and peppy!

Libvte using terminals are LXterminal and Termit also. They all have copy - paste tabs in edit menu.
I compiled the latest Termit couple of days ago. It needs liblua also.
Middleclick with toucpad and its buttons in my laptop is really difficult so I use only those copy-paste terminals.

[bigpup]

Something to consider adding to PPM.

pemasu, lxterminal looks good. Did you happen to compile libvte also? The Ubuntu version is large.

We will still include the urxvt terminal for those who prefer.
