I guess one of the problems with the grey tray icons is non match by third party ones.

Brown Mouse, next version (delayed a few days) will have at least nvidia-280, including glxgears :)

Dave.. SM-2.3b3 is 42 minutes through compiling at this minute.. (any second now :P ).. will upload when done.
I guess when theming tray icons it's great at first... :lol: (gnome, kde, win7 all have that issue! Apple don't.. but then what can you do with a mac apart from eat it?)

EDIT: Seamonkey-2.3 Beta 3 uploaded [17M]

Mick.. put your compile of 2.3 into the iso, no problems. No bugs so far. Why do we have the zdrv? is it to make re-builds easier during the development phase?

If you want to go the frisbee route, after your puppy install afresh, don't run any connection network wizard, but install directly frisbee and use it exclusively.
Hi Beem

Thank you for your advice which I have followed exactly including doing a reboot after installing Frisbee_beta-2-spup

After setting up my wifi connection I have no internet connection and the 2 versions of ip-info show quite different wifi states as shown in the attached screen shot.

Frisbee did work OK in the previous 311.37 spup.

Cheers

The right most ipinfo indicates you have a connection at 1Mbps.
This seems to indicate a problem between your wifi card and the router/modem.

As for the left most ipinfo I got that also at times.
Don't know why I got it.

Does your other PC with Wifi connects correctly to the same router/modem?

hi beem

there's nothing wrong with the wifi or router - all other pups lupu/luci 525/528 and dpup5x2 and wary 513connect just fine with frisbee

only spup 312.37 that has problems....

peebee that makes sense as Frisbee overwrites sns and connection wizard scripts, so at some point could have two different as shown. I use Frisbee in spup and works ok once configured.

If you cannot use Frisbee exclusively to configure your driver and use sns or connection wizard to acquire your wifi, I did this once, just reboot before using Frisbee. after reboot only use Frisbee which will read those scripts and thus acquire your wifi settings. hope this helps.

Hi guys

I am going to download kirk's RC of FatDog-64-520 and see what he has done with Frisbee. I'm pretty dumb when it comes to network stuff, although I'd love to write an utility that works from the prompt so wifi can be connected outside of X. Porteus Linux has a pretty cool one which I may steal some ideas from.

As for Brookdale... I plugged in my widescreen LCD to my brookdale machine and this time it worked! No special voodoo. Bummer really.. :roll: [mine is rev 1]

Charlie, MinHundHettePerro (cum, Chien, or Koira maybe :lol: ).. can you see the dialog boxes when they pop up after boot? That is the first run wizard by shinobar. [It certainly seems as though JWM is part of the problem here, re cowboy]. If so, I may put in an extra gui detecting Brookdale and then offer to run a modded xorgwizard with Charlie's hacks. If not, I'll have to intercept Brookdales before xorgwizard is run and write a dialog that implements the modifications from the prompt before X starts at all.

fatdog64 and pemasu's snow pup and polar pups have built in wl.ko drivers and frisbee all working flawlessly with my hp broadcom wl.ko driver.

Unfortunately, I have no code writing skills but have read quite abit here on frisbee with wl.ko driver. some have added short 4 or 5 lines of code to correct the possible conflict between frisbee and sns. the conflict only occurs from what I've read when use frisbee and sns or connection wizard. I looked about for that code snipit but couldn't find it.

Thanks James.

Your chipset is rev 01 like mine so I'll filter them out as they appear to be unaffected by the Brookdale bug

EDIT... bugger! I just checked.. Charlie has rev 01 too, MHHP has rev 03.. IIRC cowboys is rev 02.. oh well we play along then ... :lol:

EDIT2: Ok, Charlie.. I have downloaded the updated intel driver you recommend.

I will put in a recommendation in my little "Brookdale" wizard to download mesa from slickpet driver tab, I will update it and package it up including glew. We already have the same version of libdrm included.

Hi Guys

I am only reporting this because it is a difference in behaviour between 311.37 and 312.37 when using Frisbee.

I will try using Jim3630's suggestion of using sns - reboot - Frisbee and report back.

The thing I notice really different about Frisbee on 312.37 is the message mechanism - most of the Frisbee messages have disappeared completely and the first one that appears warning of a possible 45 second delay to acquire a connection seems to hang around for far too long....

Hello :)!
On first boot I see the first-start top-splash and the centred dialogue box. I can choose lingo and TZ, tick numlock on, (res. is correctly pre-chosen as 1280x1024) but when I click the OK button to close it, the probability that the background is all a fuzzy mess behind the dialogue box is ~90%. Once there is a scrambled fuzzy patch, more will come, and the text in the Menu disappears, together with the text in the window titles. Clicking "yes" to restart X, or postponing it til later make no difference; restarting X invariably BSOD:s.

Another piece of info:
On first boot, when the drive-icons, of which I have quite a few, are drawn on the desktop, there is graphical hiccup for a second or so, the screen goes black and the three or four drive-icons that should have been drawn during this hiccup are simply missing, the rightward stepping continues, but nothing is drawn on the desktop. After the drawing of drive-icons continues.

I have been using 310.37 since its release (wasn't as difficult/impossible as 311/312.37 to get to restart with a working X) and one thing I've noticed with this version is that sometimes, quite rarely, after long use, the menu text goes a-missing, and the only way out is to reboot. Restarting Jwm does not fix this issue.

MHHP

Thanks muchly for your, to wit, "Long rambling error report" :)

Intriguing. I think part of the issue is rerwin's fix for Brookdales designed for lupu. I will back that out. I only just thought of that actually, I don't think it was in 310.37, it was in 311.37, and modded for 312.37. I'll still update the Intel driver and put in the gui at first start offering ways to improve brookdale performance if it is still flakey.

~~~

So it's official. We are the next Puppy. :)

The next beta, which I was hoping to push tonight can wait til tomorrow. I am doing a pre-build right now. A new thread will be started.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all you guys and the odd girl who have posted here and the old spup-100 series threads. Without all that feedback we wouldn't be where we are now. The announcement I hope will attract a few more heads to the table and your input will be greatly appreciated.

Well, time to knuckle down I guess!

Cheers!
